Barnes is useless on the right to be fair. Excellent finisher but he’s a very limited player. Why RW has consistently been passed over as priority position is beyond me.

He’s not the only one. The amount of bad decisions you see in the final third is staggering.

As much as I love Eddie people said that last season. I just see regression. Players who once bought into the togetherness of the squad and intangibility of us versus the PL now almost accepting of the fact they’re playing within a setup that’ll never help them reach their ambitions. I know it’s just one game but my instincts are it was a bit of a watershed moment.

I’ve said this half a dozen times but whoever is responsible for them is fucking shit at their job. They’re the worst I’ve ever seen them for us.

The fans are fast losing faith mind. Ones around me in Gallowgate anyway.

Sign players with technical quality and unpredictability would be a start. Never happen under the current setup though.

Due course won’t cut it though. The window is 2 1/2 months away and I’ve little faith in us doing much business to improve the first Xl. You know where we need to finish to hold on to our best players and I think we all know it’s going to take a minor miracle now. We needed a great start. Instead we’ve regressed - again.

It’s a colossal failure in squad management, no question. Ultimately it comes down to how ambitious the ownership actually are but if they are as much as they’ve said, then I’m genuinely concerned about where we’ll be by next transfer window and the questions that will be asked.

Obviously you can’t blame him for the missed chances. The failure to address RW, backup ST and the one dimensional approach to our attacking play is another matter. There’s just a real lack of intelligence in the final third.

Needed a win today with the fall down the league coming up next. Someone will lose their job because of that shitshow of a window. Loads of effort and pressure but ultimately it’s pound shop Klopp and has been for a while. I’ve said this before but whoever is in charge of the attacking set pieces should be ashamed of themselves. They’re abject.

Gordon more suited, have a word.

Which was about as predictable as situations like that get given Wilson has missed over 100 games for us due to injury since signing 4 years ago.

Sick of reading about him now. We’re an ambitious proper club. No other club in the top half would entertain a player in an important position like 2nd choice striker so prone to not contributing for long periods.

I’m not sure. I’m very happy he’s ours. To condense it to a sentence I think he has great strengths and blatant weaknesses.

Until we start producing managers - which is going to require a total change in the way we view and approach the game from grassroots level up - we’re simply not in a position to question the appointment of a proven foreign coach. We are woefully short in that area to an embarrassing degree, have been for as long as I’ve followed the game, and if this is another reminder of that I’m even more in favour of TT’s appointment. I love Eddie for what he’s done here and I hope he can take us to the next level but when he’s generally recognised as the best English coach by a distance something is drastically amiss.

Shearer and Redknapp’s hissy fits the best thing about the appointment so far.

Honestly I’d rather they just ban international football than have a break every 3-4 league games. Nobody of any real relevance / contribution to the game wants it.

Tino is behind at least 3 players.

Will do what he’s told, say what he’s told. Won’t resign as no one else would hire him. Boxes ticked.

A football manager of any pedigree would be nice. Anyway, Carsley thankfully won’t get the job. Happy Greece won.

Hilariously bad performance.

Martin Dubs would’ve been proud of that one.

I think Burn played that game he scored 3.

Isak out of position with Osula / Callum Wilson up top is up there with the month’s mental takes.

We’re a good side at home, we should be beating them.
