Do teams ever have smokescreens? Seems like a well-worn transfer window trope that I doubt ever happens. Sorry to be a dick as the rest of your post I do agree with.

Yeah, I’m all for Livramento starting ahead of him but with Trippier out, he had to start. Salah’s made better fullbacks look just as hapless tbf. Starting Hall (with the limited game time he’s had) against one of the best wingers in the league wasn’t a much more appealing option.

Yeah, besides our panicky relegation-threatened window, this doesn’t seem in keeping with our transfer policy (which is a shame imo).

Sure, but we can all agree that higher league finishes will more often than not attract the better players to us, especially with the amount of competition in the league for truly “transformative” players. It’s not like we blow other teams out of the water with offering massive wages either.

Feel like that’s a decent price for him tbf. Longstaff is one of the first names on the team sheet for us and Phillips can do everything he does but better and with bonuses of being better athletically and giving us a much needed option of having a true defensive 6. I’m not in the camp of writing off this season entirely, yet. In theory KP could be the difference between getting European football or not. These “next-level” summer alternatives to him may not even want to join a team that’s limped to a 10th place finish at the end of the season.

Turned the game off but I agree. Massive gleeb.

Look at the quality of players they brought on and then look at our bench. We’re nowhere near them.

We’ve been awful, let’s face it. Almiron doing Almiron things. Absolute goof.

Treating the ball like a grenade ffs.

Hit that so well, man.

How stupid. Over.

Can’t keep the ball ffs. Can we consider playing football today?

Not a yellow that.

Nice advantage there ref.

Gordon that was fucking braindead.

We’re not great, like. Liverpool look head and shoulders above us, really.

Fuck this ref btw.

Pen. Fuck me.

If they score early this will be messy for us.

Cannot stand them.

Ffs.

Bring back the relegationometer thread. I’m a 10.

Woeful stuff here.

We’re not looking great, like.

We look okay but poor in the final third and suspect defensively. Could go either way second half.
