I generally don’t get attached to players, they come and go and it can be foolish to put too much faith in them. I remember Waddle, Beardsley and Gazza leaving. Carrol hurt because it was such a pointless sale and he could have been so much with us. I’d be fucking incandescent if Isak was sold to one of those ESL6 clubs, even worse if it was one of the red ones.

He’s an impact sub at best. Bring him on for the last 20 mins if we are still within 2 goals of them.

They’ve pissed the PL but they won’t win the CL, they’ve looked totally ordinary tonight.

Murphy will be licking his lips looking at Liverpool’s left hand side.

….also that means 110% for 90 mins not just the first half.

Howe needs to tell the team to forget the LC final. They need to be giving 110% here or they won’t be playing on Sunday. No more gutless surrenders.

Don’t really know what to say; today, Liverpool, City, Forest (2nd half), Fulham, Bournemouth et al, we’ve been shit for weeks. All the same questions for Howe again. So frustrating.

Fucking useless.

Seems like 70% of all goals these days get pulled back for a VAR check.

Looked off.

Feels like Brighton are on top here, we look spent already. We need to get a grip here and fast.

No excuses today, we need to raise our game beyond recent levels. Next game is 8 days away. Leave absolutely everything out there and they won’t be able to live with us.

Such an overrated club, they’ve never exceeded 40k average in their history. Their claim to be some huge club is a total myth and predicated on around a decade in the late 60s to early 70s when they were runner up more times than winners.

Just simple law of averages would dictate we’d have won a couple over the years. This record at Anfield is unnatural. I just hope we play with some belief and pride. We’ve got players who can hurt them and we are overdue some luck. I’m just not expecting anything.

Half expecting Tindall to be in the middle somewhere.

Bad weekend for Arsenal, after our risible second half I’m going over to AFTV for a bit of a laugh.

We should ask Keegan to come back and do the half time team talks. I’m probably mis-remembering but it seemed his teams generally came out stronger in the second half. Howe has a problem with this.

Was awful today.

Utterly disgusting second half following on from Bournemouth and Fulham. Awful watch.

What the fuck is up with this team? Utterly hopeless this half.

Gordon’s closing down is ferocious, he’s a real menace to the Forest back line

Young went down looking for a pen but De Ligt was pulling his shirt. It had to be a pen.

If you seemingly accept defeat before a ball has been kicked you’re going to get beat. Teams that cost a lot less than ours have a plan and some fight.

Aye but Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea and Spurs (lerl) are all gone. Fulham will beat Man United.

We can win this, the earlier BHA defeat at home should concentrate minds. Preston/Burnley in the 6th Rd and then more Wembley ticketing shenanigans.
