Mattoon

They were good for the win, thought they played well in the main, given their opponents. Thought Wigan might punish them for their poor finishing, but a super soft penalty finished the game as a competition. I thought Garnacho and Mainoo played well, but Rashford was pretty horrific again. He seemed to amble around and was selfish on the ball, the first goal was fortuitous due to another Rashford greedy shot that luckily came back to him.

We heavily rely on the pace and energy of Miggy, great to see him back to his best albeit against a lacklustre Sunderland. We'll see much more of this Miggy now the games have slowed for us, 9 tackles, 90% pass accuracy, 10 duels won, an assist and a couple of right footed crosses to make his point (although telling that no one anticipated them). Obviously we need an upgrade, but he hasn't deserved the abuse he's been getting for the last month by fans and he still has a part to play here for a few more years off the bench.

Burn will be fine against these and he'll be well up for it

I went for the yellow cards and Isak to score anytime with the epic boost for 150-1 £604 return

Averages 4.59 yellows per game

This is where I'm at, I don't think he's in a rush to leave but if the right offer comes in the club might want to sell to help build. I wouldn't want him to leave but the silver lining is seeing some acceleration in our rebuild.

0-4

This will be our only win in January, we might be in a bit of a dark place right now but we'll stick it to these.

It was as to be expected, just more infuriating by the fact we got done with 2 extremely soft and dodgy penalty calls and one of our own unsurprisingly glossed over. Yes, we're in a bit of a mess, no, it won't get any better in the short term, hoisten your britches because January is going to be a doozy! I'm sure Howe is as frustrated as all of us right now, but he's still the right man for the job, he just hasn't got the tools right now. We've got some big calls to make this month with regards to playing staff and same big calls before the end of the season with regards to the backroom staff, we can't afford a repeat of this next season.

Haris Vuckic, but there's still chance yet

I would give anything to see Klopp cry-grinding his teeth at full time, something really contentious too to ramp up the tears.

I THREW IT ON THE GROUUUND

Overall consensus is we're most likely going to lose, probably by a few goals too.... Fast forward to 10pm and watch the meltdown online from same said people when what they expected to happen, happens. I'm hopeful we can get something tonight but I'm mentally prepared for a spanking, anything in-between should be a shrug of the shoulders, let's go tear the Mackems a new one at the weekend.

Can't call it, have we had enough rest to show up? We'll run out of steam again at some point, hopefully enough in the tank to prevent a mauling, enough luck and we may stop the rot with a draw.

New manager bounce and Nuno has them playing to their strengths, their wingers are rapid and will cause loads of teams problems on the counter. They'll trail off but I think they'll do enough to stay up this season, which is all they want at this point tbf.

Not naive, just trying to stay positive in the face of death

No one expects it, Liverpool will turn up thinking they've already won just by being Liverpool at Anfield and we'll either rob them or walk away with a 0-0 draw.

Imagine getting done twice with a "is it in/out?" Goal, this is going to be glorious, hope West Ham hold on here.

Arsenal End of message

A lot of PTSD on here which is hardly surprising when you have to go back to 2011 for our last win. However, it's been almost 8 years to the day since we last played them and a lot has changed in that time. The only way they get anything from this is if they park the bus and hope for some breakaway miracle, but they won't. Might be our only win in January, but we'll win this one.

Would snap your hand off for Phillips right now, with our wingers struggling to track back and our wing backs pushing up to support attacks we need someone to sit in the hole and protect the CBs.

I know people are sick of the F word but it's definitely a huge factor to how we've been playing, also the quick turn around between games means we've not been able to work on the training ground so not been able to practice new passages of play and are trying to change things on the fly. Now the fixture list has calmed down and players can get rest/actually train, I think we'll see the shoots of improvement in January and go on a run of form in February onward. Hopefully, that will be enough time to mount a charge on a respectable finishing position and a European spot.
