Fucking typical that this is the game that isn't televised, like.

Not least because the squad will essentially be weaker in this half of the season, in contrast to 09-10.

From what, being stretched by Mitrovic and Perez?

What like? I literally just reacted to what the commentators said, it not like I was using him as a excuse for what sounds like an absolute shit performance. I'm proud of you.

Can we get you a Liverpool avatar just for clarification? Quality.

Except we don't have Gayle to score a hattrick this time.

For the past 3 months we've played poor football and accumulated fewer points than those chasing us, to be fair. You're having a laugh if you don't think there's cause for concern.

Surely Rafa can see that the 4-2-3-1 doesn't function with Mitrovic up top, like.

That really is stating the obvious, like.

The defensive fuck ups are one thing but we frequently fail to impose an attacking game on even the shittest defences in the league. Playing just one striker doesn't work when there's no pace or movement, like. It just horribly compounds the rigidity and predictability of the rest of the team.

It's really not, like. Barely any of this lot played under him, for a start. Why has it not been addressed then? Colback is a prime example - heart the size of a pea and Perez seems to be going the same way. They're not good enough. Rafa wanted a new CM and AM/winger which presumably would've pushed those two down the pecking order. He was ignored.

We've all known that for months, to be fair.

Can anyone see us scoring 3 times or more with the personnel out there?

Is Mitrovic playing? I've genuinely not heard his name once.

[emoji38] Have we come from behind after conceding first this season? No. Lost every game.

Good start.

Seriously though, Heza, I hope you're better soon. Even if you do still think Tiote's a better footballer than Shelvey.

I can, yeah.

Not if he says the same rubbish in real life he says on here, mind.

I think it's a fairly valid consideration that the man in question is obviously an affable, honourable bloke, like. I know that doesn't win you games but it points the 'loss of the dressing room' finger squarely in the direction of the players.

I wouldn't say he's an expert in game management, like. He absolutely is an expert in preparation, managing a squad and setting the team up tactically but in spite of what was accomplished in Istanbul, changing the game when things aren't going for him isn't his forte.

Us, Palace and who? QPR (loan), my mistake, will be 3 in 5 seasons. Thinks he's too good for the Championship though. Well, yeah, because he is.
