  1. Put Redmond up alongside a forward and let his pace down the middle cause problems
  2. I have never rated our goalkeeping coach, since I watched him go through the motions pre match with our keepers.As I stated at the time, he was more interested in brushing his golden locks off his face than concentrate on the keeper drills. As for Forster, I watched last night his position setting himself up for any shot. He was only about 4ft from hs goal line when the ball was struck. Surely it should be a case of him to be 5 or 6 feet from his line. This would improve his chance to get to the shots at the extreme of his reach
  3. the right thing to do was replace the 2 forwards that had been sold at the start of last season, so Puel had a chance.
  4. I haven't seen anyone claiming that it was down to a few fans on here, it was the fanbase in general. Perhaps the fans who read this and other social media sites did help whip it up.
  5. I understand the frustration of the so-called dull football but that was due to the fact that we couldn't score. I have watched may dull games but as soon as a goal went in the whole perspective changed. Just look at match threads on here 2 or 3 seasons ago and see how dull it was and how that we were rubbish etc, then a goal went in and 'we will finish top 4' We sold Mane and Pelle, many said we needed to fill the gap but the club played the 3 card rick of we had already signed a replacement a few months before. They may have pulled the wool over a lot of peoples eyes but there were quite a few who still flagged it up In my opinion we played some superb football last season, but just didn't have aa finisher. We have got to get on with it as we are where we are, but I lament how the club and vast majority of fans were classless in their treatment of what seems to me. a decent man
  6. your opinion that he was rubbish. He did pretty well steering the ship to acup final and 8th. All the crying about rotation etc when we had to play in Europe as well as domestic football. The amount of different teams the fans on here want to put out, it would be rotation extreme. Puel had 2 handicaps, he had a squad that had over 30 goals ripped from it and not rectified, and his aftermatch communication was poor, well you have someone who smiles there now, whoopee dee
  7. weird interview by the manager. I couldn't quite get what he was saying but it seems he knows he is not safe in his job!He shouldn't worry as he does interesting interviews, that seems to be very important with our fans
  8. the fans thought that the problem was Puel,when it was the case that we lost over 30 goals and didn't replace that hole. We were a better side last season and created more, just had players who couldn't put the ball away
  9. Puel was not given the tools to do the job, players who cant score
  10. sad that he didn't know if he was playing well or not. He only had to ask

    well they have smashed the glass ceiling many more time than us. Look at their trophies over the last 20 or so years.

    Les Reed

    I'm not a great fan of Reed but it may not have been him who didn't want us to push on, but perhaps KL. I suspect she was very comfortable watching her asset go up in value without any risk. Reed would only be able to push the bot out so far, and he would have seen what happened to NC when t seems to me that he tried to spend more than she wanted
  13. if he refuses to play due to state of mind, I assume that will cost the club, as his value will drop. Liverpool will gain as well as he will have got his way. Perhaps it would be best to make it clear that under no circumstances will he be sold untilhe has played at least 20 more games for us. That may focus his mind
  14. It would be a case of cutting off our noses to spite our faces to boo him. As long as he comes back and shows desire then we should back him. At the end of the day the better he does the better the gets a return and in principle can invest more once he leaves
  15. It was a sobering period, but I was 11 and they were the greatest team in the word to my mind. I was at the 3 home games you mention, right at the front of the Archers end wall behind the goal
  16. I thought the game where we 3 down to WHU and then drew 3 all was that period
  17. i think we will not lose Gib as we have conceded the fishing rights
  18. ???? I don't have a boss, except 'her indoors' of course
  19. lol, I cant work out how to get images from my computer onto here> it wants urls all the time
  20. At no time during the Cold War as I was growing up,did I ever feel the threat of a nuclear bomb going off (To be fair I was too young to know what was going on during the Cuban crisis) I would not put money on this not happening in the near future. The treats of this will not only be from NK, but many terrorist organisations spread throughout the world. If they sent one off, where could you retaliate. I read about 5 years ago that the Russians couldn't account for a 2 or 3 suitcase bombs that had terrible capabilities for destruction, that were lost in the breakup of the Soviet Union. The fear was that they were out there to be sold. It is sad but I expect to wake up one day and see that a city has been nuked. We are powerless to Oppenheimers pandoras box
  21. I see that Ox has now signed for Liverpool. Is the new trend/trick 'I only want to play for Liverpool' that gets the price down for the buyer
  22. I'm ambivalent about Davis but I don't think he is ducking there. I still cant understand how that went in, but it is history. Davis is a hardworking player who with a bit more guile would not be at SFC but a top 6 club. Anyone any good gets taken away.
  23. that's what I thought, no offer apparently made and so how can that be improved? Would the owners of Liverpool come out with such a statement they did in their apology to then go back on it,I suppose if they buckle re Coutinho, they may not be to their word re VVD. I assume they are waiting for us to contact them offering VVD for sale
  24. As annoying as it is for me personally, I have to admit that Liverpool are going to be a superb side soon, and VVD would be one of the major final building blocks, to them being back to the top of the tree.
  25. No doubt fanciful and unikely to happen, but if NK did send a few of US cities to ash, would the US ever recover. In that time they would be overtaken in the pecking order by China,who would become potentially the most powerful nation on earth while the US had to try and recover. Yes China would suffer from some fall out but not the carnage the US would have. It is pretty unpalatable but the Chinese seem to me to have opened the Pandoras box and cant shut it now.
