Kid Icarus

Can one of the must-criticise-Howe posters watch Anthony Gordon's recovery run for Liverpool's 3rd and explain to me why that's happening? Could it be poor tactics, lack of effort from just one of the many players everyone should know by now works their arse off? Laziness? Or could it be the one smacking everyone in the face, that he like loads of them, are fucking knackered? Or is that too obvious therefore you have to ignore it and look at anything else?

The point is though, if it's obvious what could be done differently, it doesn't take being in Howe's position to see it. Dunno what to say about the signings really, only 20% of them have been available so I'm not sure how that can be put on the recruitment team.

I love Willock but it's not even just that we miss him specifically, it's that we miss the likes of Joelinton and Gordon being at full blast because Willock can step in and give them a rest.

Likewise. If he loses you if we lose to Sunderland, frankly him having you in the first place wasn't worth a great deal.

You're being asked, it's just a forum mate, not a job interview.

Nah, it's the criticism that's insane like. Just choosing to be ignorant of the circumstances AFAIC. If the statement was 'We competed with AC, PSG, Manchester City, Manchester United this season already with some proper second rate players 2 months ago when we had more players and they weren't blowing out their arse' it would at least be satirical.

Worrying in what sense? I would expect you to know just how much of an impact these injuries, suspensions, extra games will have on teams. The evidence is all there.

Thankfully it was Tony Gubba and Jon Champion when I played it.

All his career. He's a cunt

Good luck with that. With some of our fans, their collective amnesia is only matched by their collective stupidity

Everyone hate Drury yet? Getting it now?

Nah sorry like, if you can 'see that' you're beyond the looking glass.

Howe will never give both barrells but that was about as scandalous as it gets. Revolting

Every year. Should fucking walk off, that's scandalous

No fucking point at this place. That is an absolute fucking disgrace

What the fuck, that's a fucking disgusting dive. I was certain the yellow was for Jota. Same old story.

Please for the love of Christ don't be another 4-3 it'll be insufferable

I think even in ideal circumstances Gordon would be looking knackered by now. He basically had a week off in the summer.

I made the right decision not to watch then. The holy trinity of us playing shite, them cheating, and the ref giving them everything. Complete waste of time

What a surprise, a few games within a week results in Wilson being injured.

A couple from people I worked with that I've remembered. I worked with a Blackburn fan who was adamant Phil Jones was the future England captain and that he was the next John Terry. On the opposite end of the big calls scale is a lad I worked with in 2006 who said during the World Cup that Messi would win the Ballon D'Or and would be one of the best players of all time. Think he's a scout over in the MLS now.

Gonna attempt to not watch this. Hopefully it's a decision I regret

Actually just realised one, and again it's because of injuries imo. Ruben Loftus-Cheek.

He was at Liverpool tbh

Tbh I was expecting him to be nearer Gazza levels of brilliance, so maybe I was just setting myself up for disappointment
