We've looked gash in this 2nd half but what I really cannot stand is being done over by fucking referee/VAR incompetence/corruption AGAIN.

Didn't brush his thigh first though did it which - apparently - is absolutely key and makes it impossible for the hand ball to be in any way deliberate.

Excellent goal all round

Bald patches. FFS God if I have to lose my hair make it happen wholesale so I have no choice but to go for the full Jason Statham. Don't leave me with a thinning sunroof surrounded by thick coverage leaving me with all sorts of sweepover/gel/spray dilemmas. (words of a friend not me).

V Liverpool '81 or '82. 2 nil down inside first 20 minutes, think it was still 0-2 at half time. Won 3-2 Danny Wallace was on fire and Holmes scored an outrageous half volley from near half way line for the winner. An utterly superb game which gave me an unrealistic expectation that it would always that good going to the footy.............

Agree. Jack is alright, but I suppose that’s the point really we want and need better. Salisu looks like he ticks those boxes. Jack will do just fine as utility cover imho.

The very fact we are talking about the ref's performance tells you all you need to know about the magnitude of wanker that Mike Dean is.

Nice one. An excellent display that you worried would be undone by our usual failure to turn possession into chances and chances into goals. Armstrong I thought was great, Salisu really encouraging despite a couple of iffy moments, Forster looks like a new man (unhesitating well timed charge off the line to clear the ball, WTAF), and Tella showed in his brief cameo tonight why the club rate him and most on here haven't in his appearances so far. MOM for me though has to be Moss - a considered, uncontroversial, non-look-at-me-I-AM-IN-CHARGE, let the game flow performance from a ref who has previously demonstrated himself to be a bit incompetent but who ruled it fantastically tonight and - crucially - was big enough to accept when he'd got something wrong.

G T. F I. Superb from Tells snd Armstrong.

Kin ell Redmond.

Whilst that was silly I generally like the look of Salisu

How refreshing

Fair point, I have absolutely no idea how the sell on clause in DI's contract is structured (or even if there is one). I'd always assumed these things were based on a flat percentage of whatever the player gets sold on for, certainly would have thought that's what the original selling club would be looking for.

How does Liverpool having a sell on clause benefit us? Are you suggesting that it will spur us on to agreeing a higher fee than we otherwise would have done with whoever we sell him to and it is therefore a good thing that a sell on clause was inserted into his contract?

You've answered your own mystery. He looks ok for Celtic because he is playing in a 1 star league. He looked shit for us because he was attempting to play in arguably the most competitive league in the world. I don't really know much about what he's done in Scotland, I do know he was off-the-stratosphere shit for us. And before anyone asks - no I did not realise I was answering a post from 3 months ago when I wrote that.

I think the answer to that question is probably no.

And the last goal he conceded was spectacularly crap, stupid hospital pass followed by being far too easily beaten at his near post. Let's see how Fraser gets on against Wolves, if he does well I think it might be time to change it up.

Palarse LOL!!!

You selling it Vince? PM if so.

Nice first couple of posts. Tip - there is usually a thread about the team we most recently played which negates the need to start a new one with the name of said team as the title of the new thread. (Winky smiler emoji)

Generally agree, he isn't at his best though. First chance he had yesterday his touch took him too narrow and gave Darlow a far easier save than it should have been. Last season the touch is tighter and he smacks it straight in.

People who use the initial of their 2nd name in their signatures. Jack P Shepherd.

Just seen it, so blindingly obvious it was accidental and not even slightly, vaguely malicious in any way whatsoever. And yet the wanker gave it.

The player that is 'fouled' admits that it wasn't a foul and tells Dean it wasn't a foul. Why would he do that if it was a foul? But twat-features' arrogance won't allow him to listen to anyone else - HE WILL DECIDE - if anything being told that probably made him more determined to give it as a foul.
