Is Andrew Robertson injured or can't he get a game for Liverpool? We could do a lot worse than have him at left back.

If anyone needs a sum up of everything that's wrong with coaching in British football - there you are. No wonder there's not a single manager from the UK worth their salt. No wonder British clubs can't develop players. No wonder this cunt failed miserably as a manager.

That was fucking awful but so valuable to take 3 points from these sort of fixtures. Thought Lejeune was very impressive. Manquillo was awful and we have to replace him with either Mbemba or even Clark. Very fragile in defense and offers fuck all going forward. I don't know where we would be without Ritchie's deliveries because we surely don't have a single player who can beat a man to create a chance. I'm not quite sure if Ayoze should even start ahead of Diame, the shape of the team was a whole lot better when he arrived.

Merino you absolute fucking legend

The ballboy immediately one of our best passers of the ball.

A lot of misplaced passes for one?

Ayoze + Joselu upfront is a nightmare. Wrong to take Hayden off instead of Shelvey, he's been utter tripe.

Aye he has nothing to his game. Doesn't win headers, run the channels, press or show up in the box when the wingers are approaching.

We're crying out for Merino. Can't retain the ball nor beat a man.

Yes it is. We made it comrades.

It's happening isn't it?

Prick.

What a fucking save by Lloris. When you see his physique and compare it to our Elliot... embarrassing.

Both Sane and De Bruyne seem like experts of these swerving low crosses. You see it time and time again in Man City's play. So fucking good.

Cheers!

Terrific news. I'd be very interested to know what Dortmund fans generally think of this as it looks like an absolute steal.

Why is it so common for players to have played with both AC Milan and Inter and Juve? Ibra, Bonucci, Vieira, Davids, Baggio and a few other probably. Seems to happen a whole lot more than in England, Spain or Germany. And also why do Brazilian players, or players in Brazil for that matter, often have such bonkers career trajectories? Sometimes staying at a club for like 10 games only to sign for a club and not playing a single game, going on loan in in the 7th tier before going back to one of the biggest teams etc.

Feels great to have a couple of midfielders who are both good passers yet capable defensively. I'd like to see them start together next game as well and hopefully form a bit of a partnership. Imagine having in front of them a player who can make runs or able to shoot or cross.

Yedlin's passing is atrocious.

Just shows how dependent we are on Ritchie delivering the goods. If he's not switched on we're not about to create much. Atsu does try but his end product and his ability to take men on 1v1 is suspect. Ayoze puts in a lot of graft but bears little to no threat. I bet Gayle is very confused about why Joselu gets picked before him and rightly so. Merino yet again cut above the rest on the field. Amazing how he manages to find these small pockets of space when there seems to be no. Hayden has to regain his confidence to be an adequate partner for him.

We need Shelvey and Gayle on. Joselu and Hayden are passengers.

I agree. There's absolutely nothing to suggest Joselu is in any way better. Then again I would have Gayle ahead of them both.

What? No. He's desperate to make something happen and has been our most threatening player this far.

Still hasn't scored a goal in 42 appearances and that Tottenham side isn't particularly goal shy. Has registered a whopping 3 assists in that time as well.
