God, I think I repressed that memory. What was he thinking?

I thought he was alright tonight, too. Was generally quite involved and actually put himself about to a decent extent without giving away shitloads of fouls (though there were a few).

Daddy.

We were good tonight. Silly pen aside we executed Rafa's gameplan perfectly, it was clear we were building up to that finale even with 20-25 mins to go, as we were just knocking it around tiring them out and not going hell for leather.

Where's the rotating smiley when you need it?

We've got no legs in the side apart from Yedlin maybe, I really think Atsu has to play just give us a counter attacking threat. If we go Murphy/Ritchie/Gouff/Diame/Shelvey/Diame, which I'm expecting, we'll be penned in our own half with no out ball. Not really looking forward to this.

Carragher banging on about money ruining the game while he sits straight faced in a Sky studio. Mug.

Oh dear.

Very good at the basics of defending, just needs to be a little more composed on the ball, he always heads it away even when there's no pressure on him and he can bring it down, gives away possession quite a lot. Also he's a real threat at set pieces, seems to have that knack of getting on the end of things.

We're rancid to watch, no two ways about it.

Clumsy as fuck today. Not helped by a less than dynamic duo behind him, and no pace stretching things either side of him, but still. Also has that infuriating gait/persona on the pitch that some players have where they look like they're not trying.

Yep, it was rank. Especially when compared to their centre back's clothesline on him.

We look scared to bring the ball down which is worrying. Far too many shit looping headers into the middle of the pitch under little pressure. Lascelles and Colback the main culprits.

Honest to God. We're going to scrape our way up if we do it.

It'd be nice to comfortably put a team away on telly. I don't think I've seen us play well once this season, apart from Preston in the cup.

Hopefully Rafa just forcing Ashley's hand. So fucking silly this situation though. Totally avoidable.

Not that bothered about the result as it's a freak goal to deny us the win, but the performance is very worrying. Listless, slow and dodgy at the back. Looked better after Sammy came on but that's more to do with them tiring. I think we were due a Clark error tbf.

This team in the current Premier League would probably be around 12th-15th imo. No chance. We'd concede 3 every week.

Everyone else have strengthened, we haven't. Players like Grabban and Barrow will be good at this level. Slightly worrying, but it's in our hands. 7.5.

Idiots.

Not seen anything from the game but it's hard to turn it on straight away when you're getting 90 mins every three weeks. Definitely seems like the type of player who needs a run of games to get going.

Oh dear. Hopefully this will slip under the radar somewhat.

Goodbye cruel world.

Every time I've seen him he's looked barely sentient. Would rather dig up the remains of Fabrice Pancrate.
