To be an effective DM at this level you need to be good enough and calm enough on the ball and Hayden isn't. We're crying out for a Kamara or someone of that ilk, as our midfield options are so bad and imbalanced. I still really like Willock in spite of his poor form this season but he needs that protection behind to be more advanced up the field so it's not the end of the world when he does lose the ball. Without that playing him is more or less a lost cause.

Kick off time back to 2pm.

Another tough, tough game. Hard to see beyond a defeat but I do think we're a different proposition at home. 1-2.

Aye. Southampton (h), Watford (a), Brentford (h), Arsenal (a), Norwich (h), Leicester (a) and tonight. All games where individual errors have cost us either goals at important times or have been chances missed. Southampton, Watford, Brentford and Norwich especially.

I felt our attacking players aside from backup for Wilson were okay, but after Leicester on Sunday I agree. Lingard would be ideal.

Aye, don't get that kind of patter tbh. We need to stay up to fix this squad, if we go down there's no guarantees whatsoever of us coming back up. Players that were signed for promotion 5 years ago are not guaranteed to bring us back 5 years later.

LB needed in January if it wasn't already.

Yep, Martinez away at Villa, Schär away at Arsenal, the shite pen given to Leicester, tonight. Utter utter wank.

The pen on Fraser. Alexander-Arnold goes through Fraser's leg before getting a touch on the ball.

Good managers protect their players in the press/media. Bruce never did, which is one of the countless reasons why he isn't a good manager.

"VAR is not there to get every decision right." What the hell is it there for then you senile cunt?

Would love Peter Walton to have a stroke chatting this utter shite live on air. Bell end.

1 goal where Shelvey still thought he was a Liverpool player and another where vs any other team or with any other referee, play is stopped.

He's improved us tactically but he can't do much more with a squad that makes that many individual errors. Needs reinforcements in January and as long as we're within 6 points from safety by the time January comes round, we'll be reet.

Be unreal if Mike Dean got fatally ran owa leaving the ground tonight. Cunt of the highest order.

Disappointing. That free kick in their half was an opportunity to get numbers in the box at 2-1. Haven't gotten up the pitch at all this last 10.

Hope McManaman has a coronary before this game finishes.

Our song book today (and in general tbh) has been awful. Proper shite Championship club craic.

Any side at Anfield other than maybe Man City will be under the cosh for an extended period of time. Tactically we're okay imo, just we've fucked up twice and been punished twice.

Individual errors are fucking killing us and have been all season. Players just aren't good enough, and that isn't Howe's fault.

If we can keep it at 2-1 until 70 minutes, aye I would. We look alright when running at their defence on the break. Maxi needs to sort his decision making out.

To just entertain this WUM shite patter for a second longer than I need to, what the hell were you expecting like? This is Howe's 6th game in charge, trying to change the negligence left by Bruce.

Our song book is dreadful.
