Anderson and Gordon starting. I hope they do the business today. I’m slightly more confident now than I was. Really think this could be a break out year for the both of them with a little luck. Proper need a result here to settle some nerves and shut some mouths in the media.

Would love to see Longstaff back in the starting lineup. Is Willock fit too?

Another dobber that we somehow got persuaded to take off Man United was Smith. We’ve had a few of them down the years. Looks like the days of us rooting through their bins are well and truly over mind you.

I’ve mixed feelings. A draw is the most likely result in my mind, we just just look a bit lost, Brighton was a truly terrible performance the likes of which we’ve not seen since the cabbage was in charge. I’ll be slightly pissed off if we are totally unchanged. Wilson should start this one and I’d like to see what Barnes can do given the chance.

Joelinton. Ffs. Not at the races at all. Piss poor. Geddim off.

One of you just have a fucking shot!!! Trying to walk it in.

Beating us to every second ball, this is really really poor from us.

It ain’t pretty. Can’t get hold of the ball at all.

Biting the pillow a bit at the moment.

How do you know he’s not ready?

Fuckin Targett when we have £70m worth of fullbacks on the bench. Jesus Christ.

Just out of interest who are these strong characters? The most vocal player you had the other night was Varane and that’s saying summat. I’d say lack of leadership and character in the dressing room was one of your biggest failings. . . .

For all of his fuckery, bacon face Ferguson didn’t take no bullshit when it came to sullying the name of the club. If you put the clubs reputation at stake then you were gone. Man United can’t win here and I’m absolutely here for it. They either cut their losses on a huge young talent or they sink to the morally bankrupt levels of your average Liverpool fan. It’s fuckin glorious. It could massively affect their season.

I know one thing. Onana has at least one mistake in him per game. Makes erratic Barthez like decisions as well. He will cost them points and he will have the fans on his back before long.

Man U looking very very ordinary. Cunha is having their back four on toast.

Well what can be said about that? We just look so full of confidence, passing the ball around with real guile and our movement in the last third was a joy to see. Gordon, Barnes, Tonali, Isak et al are going to be a force to be reckoned with this year make no mistake. My only worry was they seemed to target Burn and his lack of pace on the break, Diaby caused him problems throughout the first half and on another day it could have been more of an issue than it was. We need a proper athletic left back if we want to progress - wether or not we play Livramento there remains to be seen. I’m really excited for this season, we have a great squad, a superb manager and that atmosphere yesterday was incredible - these are all really potent ingredients for success. Long may this continue!

Any links to this? My fire stick ain’t got it on yet and I’ve a bastard of a nightshift to try and shirk?

Anyone else have a sneaking suspicion that we simply haven’t done enough yet? Defensively we are v v light. . . .

He also makes his own pizzas as ASDA and posts photos of em? fuck me isn’t the internet wonderful at times?

He was shit. Almost criminally so. If he can’t hack it in a pre season friendly at rangers then there ain’t no chance he’s gunna get some game time that actually matters.

Tonali reminds me of the time I ended up getting a blowy off the wife’s sister. Just feels right.

Be happy with this. Adds goals to the team definitely. Still feel we need at least 3/4 more quality signings to cope with this season like.

Great to see him in full maverick mode but it only came in short bursts and we play a much more tactical game now under Howe. He electrified and disappointed in fairly equal doses but the team is gunna be a little less brighter for his absence. Hopefully we get a v nice fee for him and bring in a few surprises before we all start to properly shit the bed.

Kvaradona?

Any of the half decent journos put pay to this nonsense yet or do I get to live in hope overnight?
