Irony of Frank's fake tweet is, if Karius was to actually bray his hand with a hammer, we could get a loan keeper in. 

Not that I'm advocating for a replacement. Let him, at least try, the road to redemption. 

It's the Geordie thing to do. 

Been done before!!

Current ‘song book’ is atrocious. I know it’s not the Eurovision Song Contest but a basic familiarity with the original tune would help. That Joelinton one….

Typical we’re hitting a team so full of confidence when we’re on a bit of a downer. 

The last two cup finals were against the newly crowned PL winners. We need to do things the hard way.

Absolutely 100% a mackem. 

Nah he’s from Coventry. Been poor last couple of months though.

Sky Sports is LTV tonight. Bunch of cunts.

Triangle heed

He’s genuinely hopeless. Michael Owen was better at heading the ball.

An NUFC with Bruno and no cup final distractions would have won this game comfortably. Better times are coming.

That's fair enough. I don't rate him, no, and I'm exaggerating a bit out of frustration. He shouldn't be anywhere near our starting XI. 

 

As a club, we took a risk that we could survive without reinforcing our midfield in the transfer window and we got burned. Not Anderson's fault that happened, not his fault he's playing, but he's not of a standard required for what we want to do.

Fair enough, there’s too much on him at the moment. He needed a loan to the Championship but has found himself involved due to squad depth.

That your first time watching him play for us? 

You don’t rate him? Fair enough, but there’s no way you can pin the first half performance on him.

With respect if you can't see how much better we are playing without him even on the pitch, I don't know what to tell you. He's certainly not the only one but his presence weakens our midfield hugely and allowed Liverpool to open us up with some clinical passing.

You made that assessment with him on the pitch for 20 mins? Incredible.

I'm actually more proud today than I was last weekend.

Just a shame it’s against Liverpool. The one team I’d love to beat into obscurity.

First time in a long time I have legitimate questions about Howe and about the ownership. This is the flip side to his loyalty to current players and squad unity - starting Anderson in this match over Gordon, for example, was a tip of the hat to the squad but at the cost of playing a major liability. 

 

Obviously Pope's moment of madness was just that, he mentally collapsed. Nothing else to say. 

 

This hits too close to home. Happened like this over and over again.

Anderson didn’t make Miggy miss his chance or Pope have a rush o blood to to the head or allow Nunez to slip between the lines for the goal. A baffling statement tbh.

Wonder who Rafa is supporting?

Murphy to come on as a sub and hit the post. Bruno to bury the rebound. 

Personal experience is of Arsenal fans as the most arrogant and entitled in the PL. They can get fucked.

Candidate for worst 45 mins of the season.

We look totally flat, have done for weeks now.

Gordon on the bench is a good move, he can replace anyone across the front three.

5,240.

Cheers, wonder how they could fit more into that space?

Anyone know the current capacity of the East Stand? Maximising that space  - the stand is now 50 years old - with a new improved stand looks the key to a 60,000+ capacity.

they will if its done in stages, i think gallowgate first then east stand

That is predicated on the East Stand also being extended. It would need very clever architectural sleight of hand to create additional seating in that space. I may be wrong though.

Will the new owners really sign off on an expensive extension to the Gallowgate that only adds 7 or 8 thousand seats? I think the ground will still be too small. We need to be looking at least 65k approaching 67/68k in my opinion.

ASM can have no complaints, he was poor.

A lot on his shoulders already. Without Bruno and Isak he’d the only one on the bench with the potential to make a difference.

Really poor, passing sloppy. The formulaic passing patterns, especially down the right between Tripps and Miggy are being disrupted too easy.
