Honestly think Moyes would have been good for him but yes. Potter would be rubbish imo, you dont have time as an international manager to institute how Brighton play, and you can't really afford to tinker endlessly with players which is what he got stuck doing at chelsea.

Yeah I think Southgate has run his course, starting to make some baffling decisions more out of stubboness than anything else. He likes Maguire because none of the other defenders are a physical unit to threaten at set pieces and in defense but at a point he's not good enough so you have to adapt. Maguire deserves space to rebuild his confidence out of the limelight, he was mad not to go to west ham and if it costs him ever getting a good premier league move and ending up like phil jones then that's to be honest entirely on him now. I still think Southgate has transformed England hugely and deserves to leave on his own terms, he deserves not to be hounded out if he really wants to have one last go at the Euros, but hope he can be talked out of it. Equally if there was an option he could be kept around for the vibes, he clearly is well respected by the players. He really could do with a proper modern thinker doing the tactics though. I fucking hate his persistence with a double fucking pivot. (i hate it not cos of terminology I just think it's negative and outdated now)

Divide and rule populism in government and press since brexit has done a lot of damage

Horrible hope he recovers well

Not going to go overboard, we overperformed last season and it will take time to build to where 4th at least is the norm. We are a proper DM and a creative attacking midfielder short but still happy with the window.

Bruno not working. Midfield needs rearranging, maybe give Miley a go if he's as good as hyped.

I see not watching it in case me watching it jinxed us isn't working

Southampton are an utter utter shambles

Southampton defence is terrible

FFS Southampton lol

FFS you know what i was right to close this place at end of game, I should stay away for a few more days though. Just...ffs. Hope this is a joke.

We needed a right back who can come in if Trippier is injured now. Players develop at different speeds, Livramento is good enough to start now by all accounts. His age is a good thing, plenty of time to develop and his value can go up. I don't understand if you agree Ashby isn't good enough to start now then complaining about spending £40m on a high quality young centre back? That's how much these players cost if not actually less?

We were poor. Very disappointed not to win that, I wouldn't have been so pissed had they just played better than us but that felt like we were played like a fiddle by Klopp, let us have posession for most teh second half then upped the intensity and our players lost their heads and composure. We should have scored more goals and then sloppy at the end. With Brighton next if that is a loss then has to be an overall negative start to the season unfortunately. We will bounce back and recover of course. I will avoid all football related stuff for a bit though.

Don't sub off your best players against a team like liverpool. Love Howe but Tonali coming off in retrospect was a daft decision. Very poor.

liverpool have put on an invisible player lol

I'm miggy;s biigest defender but sub him off for that ffs

Great half. Should be 2-0 up really. Get Wilson on for Isak whom seems to be having an off day.

They're just falling over everywhere man

credit to allisson there hwo did he save that

hahahahaha

Just missing some passes we shouldn't be right now

Based on what? Livramento has performed in premier league to a noteworthy standard and Ashby is a prospect. He may well come good but there is nothing to suggest he is close to starting for us quality. Hopefully he will get there one day but Trippier may get injured this season, would be bold to rely on Ashby.

The difference between Muphy and Isak on what 'early means' "10 to 9 bro? some people are here at 7"

I dunno us being last means I can actually enjoy watching some footy, if we're first and we lose I can't be arsed with football for rest of weekend, and can't be arsed listening to podcasts or anything. Under the Bruce years i swear i saw so little footy
