Gotta go ASAP. Way out of his depth.

There must be something in the water up there on Merseyside. Two clubs who think they can do what they like.

Their arrogance knows no bounds.

He’s wasted playing the defensive football of this season and most of last.

This. Then Boufal also failed to find another one of his runs about 2 minutes later. He didn't bother overlapping after that.

Absolutely this. We can only hope we don’t leave it too late.

Agree that we could be better with some decent management. We look poor, devoid of ideas and so pedestrian from the start of each game. Then Pelligrino seemingly has absolutely no idea how to change a game from the bench, just making like for like changes far too late in the game. Uninspiring to say the least. I really hope we don’t have to watch this for a whole season or more.

Notable absence of Puel and Pelligrino from his favourite managers list!

McQueen can't have done his chances any harm scoring 2 yesterday, despite the defending being terrible.

Boufal for Redmond, obviously. Mccarthy for Forster. VVD looks like he couldn’t care less. I’d put Hoedt in with Yoshida.

Why 80 minutes?

Absolute legend. I struggle to imagine ever enjoying watching us more than the Championship promotion season led by him.

VVD pass accuracy of 36%!

We’ve had a couple of half decent chances. Redmond should have done much better with his chance and Long could’ve done better too. I wouldn’t say they’ve been any better than us, with their goal coming from some poor marking. That said, surry MP will make a half time sub?? Gabbiadini or Boufal could make a difference.

Got 0-0 written all over it!

It’s crazy that we are only 3 points off of 4th place after our pretty average start.

Lemina is gonna boss it again.

Yup, he definitely was. Not sure Redmond deserves to start at the moment.

His statement?

Thought he looked good further forward- brings us something different to our other players. Would like to see him start there v Watford.

Are there likely to be streams for today's match that don't require a subscription?

Yeah I agree with most of that. Either way, I'd still rather we keep him, even if it means getting less money later. If nothing else it may go a little way to changing people's perception of the club as rolling over and selling as soon as a big club comes knocking.

Firstly, any 'agreement', formal or informal, will undoubtedly still include us selling at a price that is acceptable for us. We are not just going to tell him he can leave regardless- it is still on our terms. Secondly, who's to say that having VVD in the side for another season won't be worth as much or more than the value we might lose on him? Each place in the league is worth about £2million, plus extra tv money. If we lose £10million off his value but finish a few places higher than we would have, we will have done well.

How about: We've got Van Dijk Virgil Van Dijk Scousers didn't understand They tried to tap him up We told them to get f*cked We've got Virgil Van Dijk.
