Had no confidence when I saw the starting line up but the change in formation today helped Elyounoussi and Walcott. Redmond was good, as were the fullbacks. Salisu continues to impress and fair play to Bednarek for the goal. JWP and Broja were both immense, with JWP given licence to get forward more with the different midfield shape. I definitely think a variation of 433/451 is the way for us to go so hopefully we see less of the 4222 and kamikaze midfield in the second half of the season. I've also done a tactical analysis of Moyse's West Ham. Here it is: Hit the channels. *end*

First Liverpool red card for two years I think. Officials made a mess of that. Kane should have gone, Liverpool should have had a pen and Liverpool’s second should have been disallowed for a clear foul on Lloris. Cracking match though.

As if we're signing a player in January 🤣

It's incredibly lax. It beggars belief that indoor events with no proper proof of current Covid status and no mask requirement continue to go ahead in a country with an infection rate as high as the UK. But then we are fast becoming entrenched as a joke country led by morons appealing to morons, so perhaps not that surprising.

The thing that has impressed me most is his long throw. Truly spectacular.

I actually think I would have saved that.

Sorry, I'm not sure what came over me there.

Fuck off you massive cunt!!!

I think Twar is struggling here because no keeper is statistically worse than Willy this season, yet no keeper is statistically better than Willy this season.

I'd be in favour of intelligence passports.

The really damning statistic is the lack of goals we have scored in the final 30 minutes of matches. It is because our attacking play is generally shite and reliant on the other team making mistakes.

£500m?!

Rubbish game management as usual. Should have strengthened CM instead of putting the useless Elyounoussi on. Romeu and JWP must be asked to do more than pretty much any other 2 players in the league and it's no wonder they get overrun as games go on. I expect we'll be right in the relegation scrap by January after these last two results. At least Romeu gets a rest in the next match. Livramento needs dropping. Terrible on the ball today. You can't play predictable, head-down, schoolboy football in the PL unless you're built like Antonio or Lukaku. On the plus side, Lyanco was ok, although he will defo give away a pen or two through being too tight. The ref was poor. Elyounoussi and Salisu were each booked for nothing, whilst the Brighton centre back should have been off first half.

Why does he not strengthen the midfield? It's always just a like-for-like swap of forwards / attacking midfielders even when it's obvious we need another body in midfield. So stupid.

Salish didn’t do anything wrong there at all. Fuck knows why the red booked him. Ref has been shit.

Desperate times when you think to yourself, "I hope Stephens is available".

Innit!

Half Arab, not half Arabic, FFS you dopey twat.

Forster KWP Bednarek Salisu Perraud JWP Romeu Redmond Tella Adams Broja If Stephens is fit then no problem if he plays instead of Jan. Also, PLEASE no Salisu long throws.

I remember that day well. Albert Adomah tore us a new arse at Bristol City.

Was due to come to London on a business trip tomorrow. I've cancelled it now. I'm pleased, cos I didn't want to come anyway. But hope everyone doesn't die of Omnicron.

As soon as it hit Arnold’s arm, I thought, “Definite goal coming here!”.

Mike Chin is good friends with Dalian Wanda.

Piece of piss, then. Surprised someone else hasn't thought of it.

Yep, 5 points is OK from those 5. 6 is good. 7 points or more would be excellent and probably represent an overachievement.
