Stifler nails it. Next the blind will see and the lame will walk.

Who cares, man?

Dude that happened over an hour ago. Late.

Gosling is good.

He's always injured. And shit.

If we're hoping Man U beat Bournemouth for us to stay in the PL we're as bad as the mongs who tell folk to sit down and support the lads.

I think it's become the mantra of the managerial fraternity to disparage the Europa League at every given opportunity. They all (with a few exceptions) seem to hate the format. Can't wholeheartedly blame them, if I'm honest. It's become a completely shit tournament in the past decade.

Only if you discount (at the very least) Krul, Cisse, Ba and Ben Arfa. Our midfield wasn't great that season at all. We seldom controlled games and were totally reliant on the back 4 keeping things tight and those up top spinning straw into gold.

That's because he rightly had no confidence in Tiote receiving the ball from the defence.

What do Alan Sugar and David Gold have in common? Clue: I don't mean Judaism.

Yep. Dyer was a 4-star player but Sissoko isn't fit to lick his dirty underpants.

If Dummett's been dogshit I'd love to know which adjective you'd use for Janmaat's defensive contribution.

He's nothing at all like Dyer, though. Dyer at CM (as opposed to a more attacking role) worked because his fast feet, agility and boundless energy made him effective at hassling and winning the ball.

Yep. I do think that was symptomatic of the loss to Marseilles a few days earlier but booing Robert off ffs. Fucking idiots and sheep.

Dummett's been rusty since his return but he isn't poor defensively at all. Poor footballer, yeah.

Aye. He's the Sam Jackson to Frank Lampard's Bruce Willis.

Hahaha. Look at state of that.

Same every time, though. Whenever an English team underachieves in the CL it's because they play passively and at the wrong pace. LvG's a pathetic appointment, really.

Is this page of the thread an homage to the Portuguese or somat, like? Fair play to them, anyway. Except Mourinho and Deco.

Eh?

1-1 ffs. I wish Parky would just piss off. Klopp's a fucking legend, man. As if his favourite band is Genesis. If the club had taken a different trajectory 8 years ago he'd be our manager.

Stifler: Doctorate in being needlessly thick all of the time.

Same.

Yeah said Shawcross and Shelvey a couple of weeks back. They're exactly the sort of players we need and would be abundantly realistic if the club's ambition was any sort of reflection of its potential.
