Ronaldo

I really don’t think there’s much a motivation problem. The approach is just so inherently predictable and we lack guile.

We’re so easy to figure out for smart progressive managers like Hurzeler and have been for a while. Never liked our chances for this. Isak is the big equaliser obvs but he wasn’t fully fit and missed the final 40 mins where the drop off was clear for all to see.

Meaning what? I don’t lay into our players, especially players who’ve been so bloody brilliant for so long.

Do you never think about taking a minute before you post this rubbish?

Happened more than once, yes. To my mum also who was sworn at with her Ashley Out banner.

Same

They were told to shut up and support tha team. Didn’t do much good.

A B at worst? Bit over the top.

How could he be a scapegoat for this season? He literally hasn’t contributed since the spring.

I’d rather be cautious. We simply cannot afford to lose him for the cup final and the remaining league games. Totally get if he’s not risked at the weekend too.

Steady on. He’s missed about 3 in 30 games of football or thereabouts.

Not even a booking for either.

Not so sure. Eddie, as much as I’d back his judgment on players he’s worked with for so long, has a real blind spot where Wilson is concerned.

Pep, Klopp, Ancelotti et al are wrong; 1981 is correct.

To be fair we’ve had a fair few second halves like that this season - maybe not quite as bad as that. It’s bizarre.

We’re clearly getting one tbh, so I wouldn’t worry.

I think it’s abundantly clear we don’t have the players to control games. We’ve assembled a squad a players who want to be high up the pitch and out of possession.

Love Bruno but this is correct. He was abject and not for the first or even second time since January.

Has he balls been really poor all season. He’s just an easier target than the two players to his right and left (admittedly Burn has had a good season) and Bruno in front who is playing like he’s on Valium.

I hope that’s sarcasm.

Wasn’t at fault for any of the goals, why do you single him out?

He’s about the most selfish player we’ve ever had. I don’t expect any different from him.

15 mins aside that was as bad a home performance as you’ll ever see. The result is the important thing though.

I don’t get how he makes the midfield not disappear, mind.

He’s 33 in a few days, legs are clearly going and was never that great outside the box at his best. Not like we were bringing Drogba on.
