et tu brute

We needed a creative/defensive midfielder and a right winger. We have signed two full backs who will get limited minutes and a left winger who looks like he is 3rd choice after Isac now. No reaction after half time if anything they have got worse, totally outplayed by a Brighton team who have lost probably their two best players. Questions should be asked of Howe (it was the same for Benitez when people refused to do it), the intensity from the Villa game has been non existent the last three.

Howe needs to fucking change this

This performance is definitely a concern. I don't know what the fuck they have prepared this week, but that was woeful. The midfield looks all over the shop and the attacking threat is virtually zero.

Totally fucking shocking this, midfield non existent, defence passing poor and nothing going forward. Where the fuck has the intensity in attack gone from the Villa game. As someone already mentioned this is exactly like Bruce ball

So he's still on their books, no surprise cunt club, cunt supporters and cunt manager

7 for now which could rise to 9/10 in a year or two. We have strengthened the squad but still a bit short for the first team imo. Hall and Livermento could well be great for the future though

Why were we not number 19 by the way

The total lack of a right foot is a major issue and always will be. If you look at Gordon, he can use his weaker foot to provide service into the box. Miggy always cuts back onto his left and teams have wised up to this. It's got to be frustrating for the forwards also, who are making runs to find space when the ball is not coming in.

Here fishy fishy

You have to kill it off otherwise you leave yourself wide open for what happened. We should have been going at it like we did Villa second half. It was like a school party pass the parcel between defence and midfield in the second half, which ultimately left Liverpool in a position to gamble more and press for a result in the last 15 minutes.

Just saw his interview on YouTube and he thought a very 'good performance', no Eddie it was anything but

They own the club so we will see, their expectations I would imagine would be Europa League at a minimum.

I disagree with that, 8th as a minimum for where we are now shouldn't be accepted. As I said I'm quite certain the Saudis won't accept it either

I tell you one group of people who certainly won't be targeting 8th and that's the Saudis. Absolutely crazy people saying we should be aiming for 8th

I've said all summer we need more creativity in midfield to move to the next level. Can't see it happening now though and looking at today and last week, it may come back to haunt us.

Of course, it's bullshit, it was the same with some regards Benitez also. He totally fucked up today and people have every right to state that. It's based on this game not what has happened previously or moving forward.

He's right though. totally fucked this up. Fucking playing pass the parcel against 10 men'. Absolute fuck fest this

Media today in the conference trying everything to get Howe to badmouth Klopp. Howe will leave that to the dressing room

Every day now there are numerous threads concerning us (despite them having a parsnipped thread). They have gone from totally broken to totally suicidal

The league stated that a game could be postponed if both clubs agreed to it. We went out of our way to try and enable the Halifax team to watch the final, in comfort and with food provided. They refused and insisted that they were not playing the game. As c we did not agree to this and by the published league guidelines, then the game has to be declared a walkover surely and the 3 points awarded to Newcastle

Some did the same last week, when he was more than fine.

City we know are impressive, but as I said at half time that our passing wasn't helping. Didn't change second half either, we were pretty poor in possession even allowing for city's press

Not helping ourselves with our passinng

I wonder if he's fell out with the club, as not heard him asking any questions at the press conferences this season. I presume he hasn't been in attendance.
