Wince. Emotion of day leads to clumsy misnaming of manager.

C’mon Rog we’ve all had a difficult day. No need to start calling people ‘pal’ is there.

Oh ok, so he really TORE INTO them then. They’ll be scared to show their faces in training next week after that bollocking from this formidable rock of a manager!!!

Fair play. We CAN still get out of this (though I'm struggling to see how with popeye in charge). Keep the faith.

Roger, he's not a serious long term option is he but tbh I'm prepared to accept anyone atm who isn't Manuel Pellegrino.

Come on Doddy, don't let it get to you. It's only football and all that.

Who do you suggest then?

There isn't 'definitely a decent style of play in there somewhere for Pellegrino' or if there is the **** has taken far far too long to find out where it is. No excuses, he is a **** poor manager.

I'd just go for straightforward 'crap' at least in the 2nd half.

Exactly. If you haven't got the skill and ability to match the opposition the only weapon you've got is balls out blood and guts effort. There wasn't any.

That's my thinking. Jesus Christ that 2nd half was SO SO S H I T. We have no pace whatsoever, just so easy for Liverpool.

Do you really think that losing 2 nil to Liverpool is going to be the final nail in his coffin? Don't really add up does it when he's survived 1-4 against Leicester and 1-2 against Palace. They are actively going out of their way not to sack him so today ain't going to do it.

TBH this is just utter pedestrian **** and all set in a context of us 'fighting' for our lives. We have no pace whatsoever, so how the **** are we going to stretch any team let alone teams of Liverpool's quality?

Yes, and he was utter shyte as well.

He's been thrown to the wolves though. No way a senior centre back at this stage of his career but that's the role he's being asked to play. W@nker Les at fault again, never even a hint of us looking for another cb in the window despite the obvious need.

****

Well, that and our central defence is totally inadequate.

Come on we can ****ing get something out of this.

I think we've done alright apart from obviously Hoedt's **** up. It's the gash performances against weak teams that'll ultimately cost us, not games like this.

**** me that was amateurish from Hoedt. And he's our main man in defence now.

Is he still utterly incapable of making a tackle though?

Said something along those lines during the Man U 0-0. Don't worry I acknowledge mine, I literally couldn't watch today - just listened on the radio and nearly had a breakdown via the medium of sound alone.

Some of us aren't strong enough to watch football

Nah. Convinced there isn't. Massive relief to win obvs, but that's exactly how it felt after Everton.

Adrian Durham (who is a complete and utter ***t fwiw) wasn't too impressed.
