Fullbacks are our strongest area, at least in terms of working good positions. Not sure about bossing the midfield. Seems as if we can't do it without giving up some attacking threat.

Hahahahaha One you don’t know the meaning of jihad. Two you still haven’t answered the question. A few avocado sandwiches short of a picnic.

Don’t worry the club’s in safe hands with Les and the football people.

It’s not free trade though is it pal. It’s unilateral liberalisation without any assurances that it will be reciprocated by trade partners - not OK for British exporters. By extension you must be fully signed up to freedom of movement for workers as all the jihadist arguments for eliminating tariffs apply equally to removing barriers to FoM (in fact FoM has fewer distributional costs).

Was their second goal actually any good. From the Itchen North, it looked painfully predictable what Salah and Firmino were going to do and we didn’t react. But may be the replays tell a different story.

Only Bertrand got forward. Very few attacks went down our right side through Cedric. The only opportunity JWP had to cross for Carrillo’s was from deep as he wasn’t going push any higher. Playing three DMs who barely entered Liverpool’s half, in principle, gave us a solid base from which the fullbacks could attack.

Hojbjerg does good, cliché-free interviews.

In general, we don’t have great players - you can look at the squads of many other average sides in the league and like us are bound to find players with international experience or experience at big clubs but who ultimately didn’t make the grade. Only Bertrand is legit. Some of the talk on here -for example, Stephens being worth £30m is laughable. Clearly we shouldn’t be anywhere near the relegation places but we’re a midtable to lower midtable 45 point side.

He’s a defensive manager but individual errors and poor execution have cost him.

Thought Liverpool were pretty sloppy first half and we could have capitalised. The ball over the top for Bertrand was working well. But other than there was little to no pace in the team and they could push up with impunity while we pushed the ball around sideways. Second half was dreadful. Felt like a preseason game devoid of intensity and leadership. And you know MP would have stalled on the subs had the Lemina injury not forced his hand. Only consolation is that I left early and made the 18.25 train.

Stay on message mini-g.

Have anyone in mind pal?

Takes the edge off, doesn't it pal.

You do realise older people disproportionately use the NHS? In the UK, average healthcare spending for 65+ and 85+ is 2 and 3.6 times national average respectively. Not going to revisit the immigration-wages debate -suffice to say the impact is infinitesimally small and that evidence is recognised as legit by many immigration-railing Brexiteers. Its impact is trivial compared to other trends: technological and industrial change, the introduction of the minimum wage, the decline in trade union power etc. As for voting patterns and priorities, the evidence suggests that older voters would rather protect their entitlements (pensions etc) than support education and other productive investments. That might be completely rational: whether it's good for the country as a whole is another matter. Anyway sounds like it won't be long before you're worm food pal.

Didn’t he get a ton of assists for us in the championship? I know he did for Burnley which was one of the reasons we bought him.

Actually medium-term impacts are probably easier to forecast than short-run ones, especially when it comes assessing economic shocks. One might have a good idea what the endpoint looks like and the causal forces and relationships at play but there are almost always lags, delays and adjustment costs making it difficult to know when you’ll get there. In short, don’t confuse noise with fundamentals little fella. Btw do you think HM Treasury cooked the numbers?

Good lad.

So which of you daredevils is buying on the dip?

Good lad. If Clyne's got a drug problem, Austin's propping up the entire Colombian economy by comparison.

That would seem to be one implication yes.

Adz. Lambert surprisingly gets a free pass. Easy to be ‘classy’ when the club already was intending or happy to sell you.

Not the point pal. Perfectly understand the laws of the game; rather am suggesting that they are illogical. In many cases, the lino will raise his the flag as soon as the ball is played, especially if it is in direction of the active player. As such, the game is blown dead and the defending player is not in a position to touch the ball ot impact play. The result is an arbitrary situation where in some cases, the game will stop because the lino puts his flag up immediately; and in other cases where the game will continue because the lino has been to slow to raise his flag for whatever reason and the ball proceeds to touch the defender, making the attacker onside.
