Doctor Zaius

Iraolas style would yield the same issues as Howes with a Europe + Cups

He was absolutely dire man. We were worse off for everything he did. A performance of no redeeming features in my eyes.

He's made a rod for his own back with the squad we've built. Press a team at St James's? Aye, quality. Anything else like sitting in and hitting teams on the break away from home, or breaking down a side sitting in and we look clueless.

On a 5 a side pitch no doubt.

Himself? He's thus yet not managed to find a bit of space and get a shot away in a premier league game and we're in fucking December like. If Woltemade can't win headers, can't hold the ball up, can't run in behind and can't make chances for himself, we're quite limited in what we can do, even if we're not using him right.

Had my fill of him before today but fuck me. Never has a 6 ft 7 player been completely fucking unable to win a header or hold up the ball. You're in the fastest, most physical league in the world, it's sink or swim like. We could get the ball into his feet more in tight areas, but I've not seen him fashion a chance with his feet once.

He's absolutely fucking shit. Genuinely, given the context and the fee, the worst signing we've ever made.

A player that twice strung us along and turned us down, mugging us off on social media in the process. Yet I'm desperate for him to score and keep Isak out of the team

Ah man I hate the derby like. It's shite. Winning feels more relief than triumph. Losing is grim. Can't get hyped about it like I would a big league game or a semi/final.

Good point this. We've been crying out for a keeper who can use his feet, but particularly this season perhaps coming for crosses is more important. He isn't the answer I don't think, but that doesn't mean Pope is either.

It was Don Hutchinson, who's from Gateshead and is a Newcastle fan. Bizarre comments from him

Dreading this tbh. They've not lost at home all season and from what I've seen have bags of energy. We'll be knackered after tonight and I don't think you can rotate in the likes of Elanga and Ramsay for the derby. Worry about our midfield. Would snatch a draw if offered now.

It's a decent result away from home but fuck me, it's hard not to feel crestfallen after ANOTHER late goal against us. We were much improved second half, first half was a joke though. Wish Gordon would show that second half performance more. Thought Woltemade put in a shift but his general play was poor. Joelinton offers absolutely nowt. Burn and Thiaw were shaky. Miley was quality as were the full backs.

He says he wants to keep physical players on the pitch for set pieces to defend leads, yet we keep conceding late on. Why not bring on players to stretch them?

Late goal after late goal. Fucking sick of it like.

Tonali didn't track him like

CANNOT DEFEND A LEAD

Gordon has had a brilliant second half like

Gifted

Crap like. Were a team that can't defend leads when we're winning or break teams down when we're losing.

Anthony Gordon man, jesus

We just cannot break teams down.

This is fucking dogshit

Fucking no idea why hes turned to shite, but he has. Aside from that instinctive finish, hes done nowt. Still unsure why and keep expecting him to spring into life.

Think its a culmination of things for Liverpool. Having to change the system to accommodate an underperforming Wirtz, has made them so much more fragile. Replacing TAA and Robertson with Kerkez and Frimpong hasnt worked. They're having to go with Connor Bradley who isnt good enough or sometimes Szoboszlai at right back. Kerkez has been awful too. Van Djik is a year older and it looks like age might have caught up with Salah (though he'll struggle without TAA). Isak hasnt worked thus far. Theres quite a few problems there, some of Slots doing some of the clubs. Its been pretty much plain sailing for him everywhere else before, so fuck knows whether he'll turn it around.
