I was taking the piss to be honest mate. The commentator must’ve said the same thing 7-8 times. God knows who it is but they should be reviewing his contract as we speak

Lads, do you think this came off Mbeumo’s head and then onto his hand?

The Southgate effect!

He’s used to playing first team football, now finds himself on the bench and feels like he has to make a major contribution every time he comes on. Totally understandable but it doesn’t have to be a goal, an assist can be just as important. That shit decision of his not to pass the ball to Wilson felt like him trying to be the match winner and it cost us big time. Just a shit decision that he hopefully doesn’t repeat

I know we’re not suppose to criticise the manager on here but I think he has to take a lot of the blame for this. We came out after half time with no drive, no aggression, no determination to finish the game off and nothing of his demeanour on the touch line suggested he wasn’t happy with the approach. We’ve just gifted Liverpool 3 points they didn’t deserve because we were cowards. Really shit from Howe!

40 minutes of knocking it around the back 4, doing fuck all and now we’re on the back foot. Small time attitude to a huge opportunity

Our approach to this second half has been a fucking joke. Just go for the throat ffs! That was always on the fucking cards

Fair play to Man City, they’ve been class. But when we’ve had the ball we’ve been absolutely wank.

Think I’d rather see Anderson than Longstaff tbh.

We’re basically playing 3 CBs and Gordon is having to drop deep to cover LB. Even when we get the ball there’s no outlet. We’ve got no chance at this rate. We need more players up the pitch and take the risk of fewer players back

Love the relationship between Amanda and the players. I don't know if other clubs have it, but it's so nice to see

Chelsea didn't look great before Nkunku got injured. It's arguably the weakest squad they've had for decades. If they get into the CL, Pochettino will have over-delivered IMO

Whoever chose that music needs putting down

He won’t want to sell him but Palmer is first team ready now, but has to get past Jack Grealish and whoever else. He’s 21 and he’s just won more trophies in one season than Harry Kane has in total. If he’s got ambition, now’s the time to leave.

Not seeing a lot in either of these teams that we should be scared of tbh. I know it’s very early days in the season but Liverpool look short of ideas and Chelsea look like they need 4-5 top quality players

He’s also made of wet tissues

How are Leeds going into yet another season without a decent striker?! They’re a shambles!

I said yesterday that I’m fairly underwhelmed and would have liked us to have done more, not in terms of the quality we’ve brought in, but the numbers. And I stand by it. But when the season starts, I’ll be fully behind the team as always. It’s just my opinion. It might be a shit one, but it’s mine. The outrage it caused was ridiculous though. People were genuinely up in arms!

Are you alright mate? You seem really offended that someone has a different opinion to you. That’s kind of the way the world works you know! It’s not meant to be offensive, it’s just different points of view.

'Slating' is a bit strong. I haven't seen anyone on here saying he's shit. That would be slating! Saying you would prefer to go into next season with a specialist mobile full back instead of Dan Burn playing there, isn't.

I'd be more than happy with Targett as our left back. I thought he did great when he first came, but the reason I, and I guess most other people don't talk about him as our first choice LB is because Eddie doesn't seem to see him as that. Even last season when most people were calling for Dan Burn to be dropped and Targett to come in, Eddie stuck with Burn and Targett warmed the bench. If he's our first choice LB this season, great!

I stand corrected

His lack of mobility kind of dictates the systems we can play though. What if we're getting stifled down the right and we need to open up the left hand side to give us a new line of attack? We can't, because we have a CB playing LB. You can ask a full back to play a defensive role. You can't ask a 6'5 CB to get forward and trouble his opposing winger/full back if he doesn't have it in his locker because of his physical limitations. A mobile full back gives us options. Dan Burn, to an extent, robs us of those options. And let me just reiterate, before people start crying, I like Dan Burn, I rate Dan Burn and i'm comfortable with him being backup CB (even first choice CB) and backup LB, but I would prefer a more modern, mobile first team left back and I'm disappointed that doesn't seem to be the club's priority

That's not my job, it's Dan Ashworth's. I'm sure of the 120,000+ professional footballers in the world, there is one young enough, good enough and affordable enough within the boundaries of FFP, that would improve our first team. If not, i'm happy to stand corrected.
