Russel Martin analysis of a 0-0....comedy gold.

Blankety Blank

So far, not seen anything to warrant the purchase, a start or the song. Looks like a rabbit in the headlights in every PL game. But, hope I'm wrong and he comes good. E

Aye, is Isak goes to one of those fuckers that have stopped us every which way, I'm out. Slowly getting bored of the bs in modern football.

Dubs Tripps. Schar. Burn. Tino (Man marking Salah) Sandro Bruno Big Joe Murph Isak Barnes (Fingers Crossed he turns up) Sandro is Key in sitting in deep to protect the slow coaches at the back. I think Tino should be a better match for Salah, with him being right footed and slightly faster than Hall. That Middle three and Isak are a match - it's if Murphy and Barnes show up. But fuck knows....

Hope we just turn up and have a fucking go. Leave it all on the pitch and give them a game, man for man. If we have Big Jo, Tonali aand Bruno in the middle, we have a chance. Isak is our Salah and I don't think Dick van Dyk will wanna mark him. Yes we're massive underdogs, but who knows....HWTL

Probably the I need to leave early to catch the bus crew. Hopefully they cancel their ST's also.

Was utter shite today. Most don't want to support the team, just be entertained. At one stage Dubravka should have give Burn a shout....I said that to mate and said you could argue he's not have heard him. But today you could hear a pin drop at times. Huge amount leave for a pint on 40 mins, come back on 50 with their curry and chips and leave on 80, blocking everyone else's view as they do.. Might as well fuck off to the cinema.

This. Hope he scores the winner at Wembley, but yet again today, I saw nothing from him to think he's going to be here next season. One dimensional and likes a slow jog back rather than tracking his man.

Class act, but still to hit top gear and consistently - B+

Was at Anfield last night. Noticed how much we rely on patterns of play with Howe, 2 and 3 players working in units to manipulate space. Joelinton is probably the most pivotal player and consistently involved in those units. Left back and left wing. CD and CM. CM and Attack. Last nights change in tactics, broke so many of those familiar patterns and we just looked disconnected and unbalanced. They on the other hand looked devastating and so well drilled on the break - it was fluid and telepathic. Our one devastating player was injured and replaced with one of around six players I would consider past there best, or their best lower EPL standard. Our better players were poor also. Lastly, the game was crying out for subs about 5-10 minutes before their second goal, but again we waited til the goal to react - that's on Howe, again. It seems to happen every week lately.

Needs dropping, shocking since coming back in.

Was my first time there last night also. Agree, whatever you feel about their team and their fans arrogance. It's a proper football ground. Agree, really impressed by the lighting and classic yet modern feel. Huge steep stands and not over complicated or flashy. Great atmosphere in patches also, but certainly no better than the Arsenal Semi. The stadium does help keep the sound in though. That along with some strong songs, rather than chants did make it feel quite special and certainly not at all scripted, like most clubs are becoming. It felt real and quite special, so I can see why folk speak so highly of it.

First half, possibly one of the most polished left back performances I've seen. Especially for a kid. Fantastic, deserved his MOTM.

Exactly. It's a common trend when he comes on. Gordon and Murphy both do the hard yards aswell as shoot.
