lovely ball played in by Isak if Murphy had managed to stay onside.

Longstaff did well to win the corner and it was a decent strike tbf.

Don't think that's going to count.

Well at least it's still 0-0.

No we don't, we just don't have the skill to keep the ball under pressure.

Welcome to the club.

Might as well.

He looks like a CB playing at full back funnily enough.

Fucking hell will we stop giving them the ball straight back???

Murphy

At least you know he's on the pitch, unlike Longstaff and Miley so far.

Just as well they don't have a striker worth the name because their winning everywhere else on the pitch.

Schar getting his shirt pulled in the penalty area to stop a certain goal.

Someone lock this thread FFS

Now Gordon gives away the ball under pressure.

Fuck me we look cumbersome.

Their press is a lot more effective than ours so far.

Murphy reminding everyone about the difference between a squad player and the real deal.

Says quite a lot that the two most exciting subs are full backs.

I don't get it, why would we need to put out a cover story about illness or injury if they are in the middle of moving on? Maybe they are actually just ill/injured.

Hmmm. I hope it works out that way, no one can guarantee a result, but fatigue isn't going to be a great excuse if we don't perform. I think we will though, only doubt is how effectively we use the bench.

Gerrard is my shout as well, and if the Kop faithful have any genuine faith in their anthem "You'll never walk ALOOOONE!" they'll be blasting it out as he emerges down the tunnel clapping all corners of the famous stadium as he comes back home.

Right footed crosses from the right can be really effective sometimes.

Should see a spike in his performance as well, to prove we shouldn't ever consider selling him.

Joelinton might even find a club who will pay him 130k, can only imagine it will be one of the super clubs, either big six in the PL or the equivalent in Europe. We don't have the infrastucture or earning potential of them under FFP/PSR so the only way we could start matching them for wages across the board would be to sell players....like Joelinton. That would generate funds to buy big in the short term and kick the can down the road for a season or two.
