Tiresias

Even I am losing patience with Maxi at this point. He maybe needs a spell on bench and enjoy some sub appearances against tired legs to get some confidence back.He is just not getting in dangerous positions at all

Would have loved us to ruin their title charge tbh it is a shame but no need for overreactions, their defenders were flawless tbh

Aaaaaah ffs. Not sure we would have scored if that went another 90 minutes. They were very good defensively, our forwards are not good enough

Have to give Liverpool credit for their offside line but blimey they have got too many

We are losing only 1-0 to liverpool really dont think we should overreact and slag us off. Was always a tall order.

too many goal kicks going straight out too

Howay Bruno has a shot at least

I'm mainly disappointed with our few chances, being offside from free kicks etc. Always going to only have 2 or 3 chances all game and to mess them up too often

Offside off every set piece today

they should have scored that

Schar is injured

Just offside on these set pieces way too much they might be our only chances for anything out the game

We press super high and they just pass out of it and we are overcommitted. Yeah that was classic run into a cul de sac from ASM but he does have to gamble on them making a mistake

Not been great but Liverpool clearly a class above. Could fluke a goal and a point but probably no more and reckon they will score again tbh.

Liverpool are clearly the better side, very comfortable and just controlling the game. Decisions seem to be going Liverpools way but i don't think any of the decisions have actually been terrible tbh.

They are very good, they're not giving us a sniff and they are going to score again

rubbish that straight from our own setpiece

Well in fairness howe may not have known that

Howe may have listened to me lol joelinton may be on left to harry TAA and ASM up front ;d

I'm in fucking love again

I remember the official confirmation came through sat in restaurant with best mate who is a toon fan and his toon supporting family, and I was like it's definitely gone through from all the journo talk but everyone was not sure till then was surreal. Then we all agreed we were still probably going to go down lol

In fairness that's what Howe said in press conference, that if they play it will be because they are ready same as any other player they aren't going to risk anything. It sounds like trippier will be back for last couple games maybe but doubt sooner for that reason.

That laugh when he is asked "what has changed for you in the last 12 months" haha

Any word on if he'll be back for end of season?

Next season I would like (and think probably fall a little short of) new centre back, new striker, new right winger and new midfielder who can control the game So we would look like Dubs Trippier Schar New CB Target New Mid Bruno Joelinton New Winger ASM New Striker This could shift to a 3 4 3 actually depending on new winger's defensive capabilities/awareness Dubs Trippier Schar New CB New Winger Bruno New Mid Target ASM New Striker Joelinton Which obviously pulls ASM other side, Trippier is defensively sound enough to go to wide Centre back but think with training ground work could be good I would also look at what Man City are doing with inverted wingbacks because both Trippier and Target are more defensively minded than most top modern full backs, this would mean in possession Target and Trippier coming in narrow and screening thew defense. This allows the centre backs to push higher with more security and the midfield to push further up so you would sort of end up with a formation (in possession) that looks like this Dubs Schar New CB Trippier Target Winger Bruno New Mid Joelinton New Striker ASM This means we have a big overload on a defense. I have given this way more thought than worth, will not happen and I am sure would not work lol
