The early-90s Milan side were the closest I've seen to them in my lifetime.

Funny, the massive gap between our midfield and our strikers makes me realise he isn't...

Found his audience.

An well trusted source of information. The same one that said Adam Johnston was going to sign? Nah that was me winding everyone up for a little bit of revenge on here for unfounded remarks about my mental health. "Cunts are calling me a psychotic murderer, I'll prove them wrong by chopping them up".

Xavi and Iniesta were "superb", Wilshere was the best of a bad bunch of Arsenal players on the day.

I was going to say, I thought it had happened last night too.

Fuck it, let's play all of them.

Looks more like a winger to me. His positioning and physique don't really resemble a full-back.

I don't think Campbell was to blame for the goal - Richardson should never have had that much space to pick out a cross, and it ended up being a very difficult one to defend. Lovenkrands is definitely the weak link, he just contributes nothing whatsoever.

Pardew could have had every indication that he was fit enough to start. It's never easy to tell with muscle injuries.

Liverpool haven't had a "passing game" for ages tbf. Is that so? How did Torres score so many goals then? Was he in the right place to receive the knock-downs from Stevie Gerrard with whom he combined so successfully? I forgot how prolific Torres was under Hodgson. Perhaps "ages" was an exaggeration, but it was certainly destroyed before Kenny arrived.

He did something similar to that against Man City too. I vaguely remember him sliding to keep in an overhit pass, before standing up and whipping in this cross which Shearer burried with his head. Was the day England won the world cup iirc. He did something similar to that against Man City too. Stopped the ball going out of play then whipped it in to Shearer, who netted with his head. Good point. I'm surprised that hasn't been mentioned, it was brilliant. Probably one of my favourite Bernard moments.

Nilmar is fucking class. Comes on for ten minutes and just casually rapes Leverkusen.

So was I. That was one of the several occasions where he backed off too much... Simpson was as much at fault for just jogging back when he could see that Osman was in acres like.

You do have a point. and yet many have had a go at simpson this season for backing off far too much, largely due to often being left isolated by barton. yes barton puts a shift in but the weakest part of his game is the defensive partnership with his full back, it's then he still looks like he's playing out of position. Taylor never backed off, he was just in the wring possission all together leading up to Arteta recieving the ball. Was poor defensive play all round like, not just Taylor. He never backed off? Are you kidding? There were several occasions where he backed off so much that he was nearly in the stadium's toilets.

Wrong. Ok.

For someone who was fucked after 70 minutes, he made a great last ditch tackle/block around the 85th minute after sprinting back from the other end of the pitch.

He is like, and I'm not judging that off today, I've never, ever rated him. He backs off and doesn't have a clue when to actually make a challenge. The only things he has going for him as a defender are his physical attributes - he is strong and above-average in the air... His reading of the game and positional sense leave an incredible amount to be desired.

Err... I would have complained. I've posted my opinions on Taylor many, many times on here before - he's a very poor defender at this level.

What else could he have done? Apart from start Taylor right wing which is much the muchness. Ferguson left, Guttierez right, Taylor on the bench.

Not sure about the above, but the XI that finished the match was as bad as I've seen us field in a Premier League match for a good while.

Not really.
