I would actually prefer sensible money tbh I get why people would be excited by us hoying 500m each window at players but I really don't want us to turn into some soulless gloryhunting side. I get that that we've been soulless for the majority of Ashley as well as being shit like.

"BUT likes #nufc!" So he just added this part himself then?

No idea what you're going on-about here mind, I've never claimed Liverpool deserved to win and Mole said we deserved the draw in a post I was agreeing with. I was just making the fairly innocuous point that Liverpool should have scored another - how deep you want to look into that is upto you like. We got off massively with the Clark mistake (and followup) and with the bit of play at the beginning of the game when Shelvey's shot deflected right into Salah's stride. If you want to play some game of trying to argue me into the ground with some weighting of the Diame chance being worth more or equal to their chances or something then I'll just concede now like as I cannot be bothered @1964 that stat means nothing in relation to how the game actually went though so I don't know why it's being brought up. We limited them very well but they were still the most dangerous side and looked most likely to score throughout the game.

Shelvey's quick passing was far better than Merino's yesterday like. I do think that's one of Merino's biggest strengths from what we've seen though, when on form he'll nip the ball back and knock it forward with ease. I think it's a bit of an exaggeration to say Shelvey needs loads of time to pick a pass though.

She moves quick this one.

Liverpool should have won the game like. As well as I think we played and as bad as they think they were on another day we probably need another goal there. It wasn't an onslaught though, and I felt oddly comfortable throughout the game.

I really don't want us to sell out to The Saudi's like. Obviously Ashley has to go but I never wanted it to be like this Nowhere near as exited as I would have been 10 years ago, I'm not even arsed about us being that good, I just want us to try.

Welcome to NO

He can hit a great pass like but it's obviously not his game. Busquets is a fantastic passer too, but he doesn't play the game like Pirlo did.

Yeah I got Busquets vibes from the Dennis Wise scouting and he's never looked like he was going to be raking balls about while he's been here. Not sure why people keep talking about him as if he's a creative midfielder tbh, the Chronicle were at it after the game again. Maybe because our 'defensive' players are usually like Tiote or Parker.

Think it was the opposition tbh, Shelvey was even deeper and was the creative midfielder. I really liked his role tbh, it seemed to allow Shelvey a lot of space throughout the game.

Not sure i agree tbh, all i remember is the constant complaints that Mitrovic was almost never in goalscoring positions. Really? He gets into goalscoring positions fairly often he's just absolutely terrible at kicking a football. At least in terms of comparing him to Joselu.

He's stronger than Joselu and looks far more of a threat attacking the ball like, and I don't even think Mitrovic is THAT good at attacking the ball given his stature. He fairly often causes problems for defences which Joselu just isn't doing. Joselu might get better but if he doesn't do anything next game I cannot see why we shouldn't be giving Mitrovic a chance, unless it's purely as punishment. At worst it's almost a straight swap.

Why are you talking utter nonsense?

His “pressing” is totally ineffective as he gets nowhere near his man and is afraid to put his foot in in case he hurts himself. Embarrassing! I can't agree with that like. I'm a big critic of him and get so frustrated with him, but he's the best option we have in that position in terms of putting himself about and being in the right position to intercept, what he does once he has the ball is just too often the problem. Perez and “putting himself about” is a contradiction in terms. Just look at the effort he puts into closing down compared to Ritchie or Gayle. I really don't follow. I see no difference at all, he's constantly helping out. We must be watching different players tbh. Yeah that's a weird point like. Perez has changed his game massively, he's pretty much unrecognisable from the player that was booed in the relegation season from not chasing a ball down that was running out of play.

Unless he improves massively I'd rather we played Mitrovic like I massively disagree with his hold-up play being better and unless he suddenly starts pelting them in there's virtually no difference in-front of goal. Mitrovic is a bigger threat from set pieces and balls coming in though. Not even sure his movement is any better, I thought it was after the first game or 2 I saw him but I think I was over-reacting a bit. I have no idea what the craic is with Gayle otherwise he'd be straight in the side.

Yeah that's bang on like. I'm just going to take the bit about sidewards passing in order to keep possession as his way of calling Jack Colback a cunt.

I still don't believe it's him who scored that cracker against Madrid.

When I said he had bad end product a lot of it probably has to do with him trying to get the ball in from awkward angles or after running down a corridor tbh. He has the odd highlight in him but it seems like over the course of a few games he does very little. Hopefully he finds some proper form as we could really do with a rapid, direct forward.

Think he's far better off the line this season than he was when we went down. We need to upgrade him but he hasn't done a great deal wrong this season other than some shite kicking.

It looks savable when it's slowed down. In real time though you can barely register the ball leaving his boot to hitting the net

Yeah the talk after the highlights was really fair tbh.

Watching it on record now and just came in to post this Fucking insane comment.

Watched it about 10 times now and I'm convinced it's some kind of GIF glitch like.

In his defence like he pulled onto his left a few times but there wasn't any great options in the box. I thought that ball across the 6 yard box with his right wasn't really recognised either. Someone should have made a run to the near post.
