Why the fuck have we got no midfield?

if you dont think that every single game, then what's the point.

Yeah, or switch StMax and Fraser

Agree with this, I think the best thing to do is to play them as a central pair with the freedom to exploit any spaces that appear, focus on developing that relationship. Push the wingbacks up to help out, leaving 2CBs and Hayden to cover. Jobs an adequate one. This would be better for Wilson

Appalling.

I have noticed Shelvey has played every set piece straight to Ryan. Terrible on set pieces today.

Jesus man give it a rest, he's off now What? You think the game plan will magically change now? Naa, the games gone. But it wont be as bad as the first half. It had to happen really, we were dead.

Carragher was spot on discussing where we have gone wrong.

Who the fuck is watching Lamptey, it's like he's been given free reign.

Ryan Fraser Didn't realise he was so little.

He's raw, he needs guidacme (rafa) he wont get that here Yeah I know, it's not his fault. But he looks a bit like a fish out of water right now.

Keep watching Lewis not having a clue who to pick up

Lewis and St Max haven't a clue here.

Dont use that as an excuse though? McClaren mismanaged every player that season. Thauvin went back to france played extremely well and called up to the national side. In reference to Gini we used him advanced and he scored 11 goals very good return, I'd agree he's doing a job at Liverpool, but it's nothing major or anything to do with how well he's suddenly been managed, he was a good player to start with, and he joined a very good side, Klopp has used him where he sees useful for Liverpool. I don't think its mismanaged etc like you say, I just dont think we're the right club for him (Joelinton), sometimes that's just the way it is. Wijnaldum is a very good example actually, he was getting pelters on here, then he joined a club in the same league and has won the title and the European cup. Now obviously Joelinton isn't in the same league as Gini, but we do have some fans with an ugly attitude towards certain players and they are usually of a certain type. Yes but in fairness, those fans dont actually hate Joelinton or want him to fail, they just get annoyed if he's selected as it's like playing with 10 men. Why would anyone be pleased about that? But equally I blame Bruce for selecting him consistently, but I'm of the opinion it was forced last season perhaps from above, and we may see less of Joelinton this season. Personally I dont have an issue with the player, but given we had a fully fit squad to choose each week he would never make my starting line up because there are better players than him already here.

He's gonna join those list of players we sign and send out on loan season after season to shite clubs, because nobody will be daft enough to buy him.

Would people say Bruce now has the best squad to utilise under this ownership? Or was Pardew more fortunate? I'd argue McClaren had a good squad, but the wrong manager.

Any idea why Ashley showed up, does he live down the road, or was he just spying on his new assets?

Good player, wanna see him in the middle though.

Already loving this fella. Post match interview was class.

You're spot on?? That pissed me off when I entered the thread earlier to see "Hendricks" can't even spell his name, is shit. Hendrick worked hard, and looked good, he's not really a winger imo, but did well under pressure on his debut. I think some will be pissed he kept Almiron out of the side tbf.

I quite enjoyed that Bruce ball, am I a sinner?

All the new signings look good. I think Hendrick should be in the middle rather than wide, he looks very similar to Shelvey. No problems with the start, we look very in control, just need the right chance to fall to someone, I thought Shelvey had scored but it was easily our best chance this half.
