Armchair Pundit

Just waiting to pounce when they're least expecting

Tripps scaring me a bit

Wilson would have been good for this match I reckon

I thought it was on their stadium speakers

Never keen on us both wearing stripes, having to go by the shorts. Cracking start though.

C'MON, HOWAY THE LADS!!!

Their Wearside display looks like it was written by the bloke out of My Left Foot

The commentators did not just say the mackems could be as big as us?! Really? Jesus, these are the same fuckwits who haemorrhaged fans when they were relegated.

Piss poor stadium display by the inbreds tbh

Some managers just fill you with confidence and passion, regardless of how the media try and whip things up, our Eddie's one of those. Always comes across as calm, collected, but just enough humour.

I'm more than willing to let Howe continue with the build. There's potentially parallels to Alex Ferguson's start at Man Utd in 1986 after taking over from a diabolical Ron Atkinson: First year, Eddie stabilised us after a dog awful former ownership and utter dogshit management under Bruce. Second season we over-achieved massively. Third season we're struggling, but let's say the second half of the season picks up and we continue to build, maybe even manage an FA Cup run. Eddie's shown enough that he could well be capable of doing great things under the right circumstances, yes he could probably do some bits and pieces a bit differently, even with the injuries, etc, but don't forget he's still a young manager and still learning. Chopping and changing clearly doesn't work in the long term for any team, stability rules once the right manager is found and backed, Eddie is still that manager for us imo.

Didn't think we were as bad as some, looked a bit more like we are starting to get things together again. Unfortunately, undone by Liverpool's dark arts again and strange officiating decisions. Were Liverpool better than us? Clearly better in attack and conning the ref, us being able to keep level until late on again shows we're capable though, just need a bit more umph and some new blood to lift us. Aside from the homer officials though, it's the commentary having a wankfest over the scum that gets me most annoyed.

It pisses me off when people don't give praise for defensive play or frustrating opponents. Yeah, Liverpool attacked from the start, but I'd expect that at home, it's fucking wank when there's a media wankfest over the cunts though, especially when they've had such clear help from the officials again, it's even more galling when you see how much griping and whining Klopp does. Just scum, all of them.

Liverpool, you'll never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. Pikey fucks.

Of all the teams in the league, I hate Liverpool the most. The amount of cheating they do, the amount of whinging their manager does, they're utter scum. Fucking hate them.

When you look at the table, I doesn't seem as bad as it feels currently: 7th in the league 5th goal difference 8th form table ... but we've got some shit games coming up, a fucked bunch of players with no depth and a serious lack in confidence.

They can fuck off with this shit. There was always the worry that peaking too early last season when the squad wasn't ready would lead to this. The long term demotivation and weakening of the mental strength of the team being shredded is now what worries me. To go from the way the players played last season to their current plight is abysmal and at this point in time I'm really not sure who to blame. Injuries are one thing, but we should still be able to work a result against a team like Luton, even if we were using half the youth team!

Maybe a winter break wouldn't be such a bad idea in the UK

Offside rule is ridiculous these days, absolutely stupid since they stopped using the daylight between players rule.

They'll not give it, that's how 'luck' works when you're already struggling

I was wondering this, whether the players are holding back and pulling out of tackles because they don't want to add to our already horrendous injuries, depleting the squad further.

Bloody hope so, should be lifetime for that sort of shit, plus a hefty fine.

Urgh, could this sort of shit come to a head at a better time for the mackems? I don't think so. Fuckety bollocky ballbags.
