Have that Slopp you bald fraud.

Quite the 50p head on Gakpo

Fuck off you rat cunt. Another blank

Not like him to completely drop his arse at a one on one.

Isak

"He was on the floor holding his head" says Carragher. Don't seem to remember him saying that a few years ago whilst Hayden and Schar lay prone in the Anfield penalty area clutching their heads whilst dearly departed Diogo Cheater scored. It's a scandal he's allowed to commentate on these games, Neville too.

Mac Allister gan for a swim is he?

Point at your chrome dome as much as you like Slot fucking twat.

Pope Trippier Thiaw Botman Burn Tonali Bruno Ramsey Murphy Woltemade Barnes I'd go with that. Possibly Miley for Ramsey.

Eddie would have went Burn LB ahead of Targett anyway even if he had stayed and was fully fit IMO.

Agree that you definitely can't agitate about it too much given the end result each time. I'm still just waiting for the game where we see it start to come together. Wouldn't be surprised if it's early December again like last year which coincides with our best fullbacks being available again & Wissa into the mix. Let's say next year we had a good window where we don't lose any key players that we don't want to, add 2-3 first XI players, plus any cover we need, and go into the season without any major key injuries. Do we then start to wonder why it takes Eddie so long to get us going? Not even from a "get him out!" perspective but more from a "if we could start well, we could actually be in the title mix" angle.

I know he presumably signed Elanga to play with Isak, but I don't see how Elanga's horrible clumsy first touch and lack of technical ability when we play against low blocks (most weeks in the league) would suddenly be any better for Isak being there. There's a load of mitigating circumstances each time, particularly this year more than any other, but we always get off to a slow start under Howe and it's fair to point it out. Do we just accept every season that we're likely to not properly get going until December?

Glad he had a good performance for England then arrived back and offered absolutely bugger all for his club side, again. Hopefully the dippers are stupid enough to buy him at some stage. We need some wide players with some technical capability, desperately, although loads of us pointed that out in the summer as we shelled out a big fee on an Olympic sprinter.

Two weeks to prepare for that, I'd love to know what the fuck we were supposed to be working on. There's a pattern where the same old bang average mid table teams have our number every fucking season and he can't do anything to stop it. Welbeck will be scoring against us into his 50s. Pushed hard for his man Elanga who looks like a fucking Sunday morning player for £55m. Unlucky with Wissa and Ramsey injuries and losing our first choice full backs at the same time, but you could argue that had Woltemade not had such a strong start we'd be in the relegation zone. There's usually one of his trademark winning runs round the corner when we look as shit as this. I really really hope today was the equivalent of Brentford (a) last season and "the low" before we go on a run because this season so far has been an absolute chore in the most part.

Two weeks to prepare for that

Fucking sick to death of these bang average cunts doing us at this stadium every season, man.

He looks absolutely shit, this lad.

What is it about this soulless fucking dump that makes us play so poorly every single year?

Elanga surely can't be this bad.

Dyche would be horribly uninspiring but I think it would be a bit like when Everton appointed Allardyce. Bleak, unpopular but they stay up and are somewhat steadied by it.

Absolutely shit craic from Marinacker to deny us the final Ange interview.

Ange's post match will be a treat. Expecting a lot of "mate"s and possibly him to burst into angry yet passionate rendition of Waltzing Matilda.

How the hell didn't he score that?

Matz Sels recreating his 2016 form for NUFC there.

I couldn't stand Shelvey for most of his time here. Lazy, static overrated player who'd pull out a magical performance in every 12th game but be absolutely chod the ones in between.
