So McClaren is a reactive genius after all.

Be nice to have a proactive manager for once, you know, someone who changes the shape of the game and leaves the other manager with the problem of reacting.

I've been overly patient with Anita but fuck it, he just isn't up to it.

Normal service has been resumed. Lacklustre wankers.

I'm delighted with the win but also a bit angry how the team played so differently there to the last 3 0r 4 games. Like pressing has just been invented. Sure we were pressing earlier in the season and looking good also.

Hahaha, fucking Wijnaldum was out on his feet 2 seconds previously.

We've definitely stopped pressing, if you hadn't noticed.

Commentators getting all of the excuses in for Liverpool already. They travelled mid-week, not anywhere near their best.

That'll do boys.

I was hoping he'd play Perez up front and take Cisse off.

Not the first time McClaren has subbed off Mitro and then Perez. He can't seriously believe that's where the problem lies? Doesn't matter who's up front if there's no service.

Was just wishing earlier he was on the pitch, he could be as shit as everyone else for most of it but at some point you at least know he's going to get you off your seat.

Just zero cohesion, that's not a team out there.

How the fuck does he think Cisse is going to do a better job than Mitro in a position of total isolation?

McClaren on about our passing game coming together but it was clearly falling apart there. Passed off the park by Bournemouth.

4 CM's and it looks like we have one, at best, during most of the game.

Talk about against the run of play. We look shite but we're one up.

What the hell was that from Dummet.

Was just thinking it looked a shitty little ground till I noticed there wasn't a single SportsDirect ad in sight. So, a truly magnificent ground then.

Two's enough. http://s24.postimg.org/aw4savfb9/leaguemedic.jpg

Loudest cheer for Mitro there.

We should win the next two anyway, Stoke H, Bournmouth A. Then we've expected to win a couple of others before now.

Strange comment. He's at LB in a side who've played most of the game in their opponents half. Been passed to 3 times. Not really strange, he's been wide open numerous times and Colo passes it through the middle to players under pressure. Might be directed to but doesn't mean Dummett wasn't the better option. I saw the same, he's fwd in lots of space and the ball wasn't coming to him.

Gini saying he'll teach him to score 4 in a game (to Mitro).

I am in this minority also, but we don't play like this every week. New blood really made a difference. They actually looked like professional footballers, some of them. Flashes of brilliance in the attacking play from Wijnaldum, Mitrovic, Perez, Sissoko and Janmaat. If we can keep and build around these guys the football could be alright, even if the pall of Ashley lingers over the soul of the club. Me too, but as long as Penfold is making decisions I'll not expect anything. (Ashley aside).
