Is this bloke actually dead?

Sources close to Rafa Benitez have suggested some form of sounding out of the former Liverpool boss...
Just make it happen ffs.
What the fuck is "suggested some form of sounding out"? Sending out smoke circles to see if he could spot them from his garden?
-
Wijnaldum may have been s*** away from home all season bit isn't he also our top goalscorer and probably up there for assists too.
Regardless, I think Colback is s**** and Steven Taylor is bang average too it's got nowt to do with where they're from it's how they apply themselves.
Colback and Taylor aren't gifted like Sissoko but they do try and do care. Moussa has the talent bit his application of that talent is shocking.
I beg to differ on this one.

I think McClaren will stop in some capacity, hence the reason there has been no announcement yet..
Thought about that earlier as well. Who would he work with though? Would he accept being demoted to assistant? Could they bring someone in to work alongside him? Stuart Pearce or some such character?
He'd move upstairs, surely? Take up his board position?
And do what exactly if Carr is still here? Unless it would just be a move to save face? We're so desperate for things to change that we're dreaming up some highly unlikely scenarios.

Thinking about how utterly farcical everything at NUFC seems to be, Alan Shearer's "let's move on, come on" comment at the end of his MOTD analysis sums it up perfectly. So fucking embarrassing.

Still think it was us dude?

I had surgery on Tuesday and was sat in the pub watching this today with my Liverpool supporter mates. Nearly ripped my stitches open when Firmino scored. Pardew walking off heart-broken has made my week.
-
The only thing more disgraceful than Sissoko's performance was the decision to bring Aarons on in his place in a straight swap.
-
72 with Firminoh to play. Bellerin on the bench ffs.
-
What in the fuck was this braindead coward doing for the first goal?
-
That was the most blatant refusal to do one's job I've ever seen from professional footballer
-
Shocking execution of a perfectly good one on one situation when through on goal, and shocking support for Wijnaldum in that second half counter attack. And that "cross" in the first half
-
Despite all the overall shitness and negativity surrounding NUFC at this time, I can't help but start to like this dude. Seems a real leader out on the pitch, and is starting to make his presence felt at the back.

Liverpool, mackems and Spurs in 2010. I'd say first two are still in there, but I don't hate Spurs as much now, in fact I have a growing respect for Pochettino and their squad. Probably Palace for obvious reasons.

Doumbia was god-awful. We're going down.
never felt shock like this before
Chin up mate. We stick together no matter what.

Fabregas stepped on his ankle though no?
He did, so Mitro couldn't move his leg as his foot was stuck underneath Fabregas' boot, and jarred the knee.
-
If anything, Cisse's all round play had been better recently before his injury. Showed some decent link-up and hold-up play. Not sure how he would work with Mitrovic, as I get the feeling they'd both be making similar runs and occupying the same spaces. If we can get those two to complement each other, we'd stay up quite easily IMO.
-
'appy 'arry ffs. You've got to laugh
-
There's probably over-coaching going on tbh. To the point where it's detrimental to morale, or just too much information to absorb.
-
f***'s sake at first glance the proximity of this thread to the word "sacked" in the nonce thread title has fooled me twice now.
-
That is superbly written and fucking spot on.

Tiote, Saivet & Shelvey as a midfield 3 might work in away games? Mitrovic, Perez, Doumbia/Sissoko/Townsend up top.Problem is we needed to sign some protection for the back 4 first of all. Tiote and Shelvey barely offer more than Anita and Colback for that.
This. An orthodox 433 seems like the way to go away from home. Beef up the middle of the park, and have Sissoko and Townsend help out the fullbacks when needed. Shelvey can play a bit more advanced with 2 sitting behind him. It's only slightly different to what we're currently doing with Wijnaldum in the hole supporting Mitrovic, but at least Shelvey can spot the killer pass whereas Wijnaldum doesn't seem to create much from those areas.
We don't really need proper width since we can't cross for shit.

Oh great. It's just like NUFC to be using the most pathetic cheap and tatty app ever created.
