Robbed there.

Never a striker this lad.

Would you give him any more money? Unfortunately he’s burned through any transfer credit he had.

Howe has run out of ideas but the players need to take responsibility.

We’ll pump these, then lose the next away game. That’s the pattern.

Which is why the summer transfer window has been so debilitating. We’ve put ourselves 2 or 3 years behind.

The game was gone after 7 mins. The next game now needs to be the focus. This tie was finished at SJP. The team and the tactics tonight were just naive in the extreme. You can’t flog a dead a horse.

This was all so predictable.

At work so just checked the score can see the dream lasted 7 mins. Miracles don’t happen in this fixture .

Play the second string and tell them to go for it. I know football is meant to be about romanticism etc. but we need to be pragmatic. Unfortunately we fucked it in the first leg. Running the purples into the ground is pointless.

Aren’t we were getting a new badge next year?

There’s no gimmes at this level but we’d muller Monaco over two legs.

Do Everton and Leeds play each other every Monday night? It seems like it.

Incredible to think he was only 25 when he signed for us. Oh what might have been….

Although I was frustrated and quite angry yesterday I wouldn’t actually sack Howe now. He deserves the rest of the season at least and although I wouldn’t allow him free rein in the transfer market he’s probably done enough to oversee a rebuild in the summer. I just don’t think he knows how to get the best out of this squad , he doesn’t really know his best team and his tactics and in game management are currently ineffective. We’re still waiting for things to click after a fairly disastrous summer window and it’s the end of January.

Starting to remind me of this.

Desperate times.

Neither striker is actually performing at the moment (I like Wolte, I don’t rate Wissa). We’re clutching at straws if we think putting two underperforming players in together is going to fix anything. We need to get the rest of the team working with the strikers but they are so different and they are rotated within every game. All in all it just looks like amateurish squad building. We might as well give Osula a run of games, he may or may not have something.

Was handball.

Our ascent was largely built on being almost faultless in the transfer market. We had a disaster in the summer. It’s coming home to roost now unfortunately.

Went for a run at 65 mins, we didn’t look like scoring.

Aye, and some think our third choice striker is a RW. We need a ruthless killer at CF.

He’s not a natural striker.

Quite a chastening half, they were better than us all over the pitch.

Someone check on that fat bald mess Anfield Agenda….
