Good job we've got another game so soon. Need to put this shit right ASAP.

Oh dear oh dear . Worst performance of the season .

This is turning into a very bad night indeed.

Well it's been coming. ...

West Ham were 4-1 down by this point at the weekend.

Just about sums up this first half. Even the ref wants to see as little more as possible.

Not looking good this half. Although I'm hopeful if we can get to HT at 0-0 we do seem to improve in the 2nd half most of the time. The legs are just waking up again for some players it would seem.

You'd think he should be by now. I imagine Howe is just sticking with the guys who did so well against Spurs. Tino will come on sooner than later for Murphy.

15 minutes in and not a single attempt on goal. On or off target. Poor start.

I reckon Klopp could go another 7/8 seasons at least if he just stops berating the 4th official every 30 seconds. That must take an awful lot of energy.

Win tonight and then also next two "easy" games against Sheff Utd/Burnley and we can afford to drop points against Man Utd. The Brighton game before will be much harder I think, I'd take a point from both of those as long as we get minimum 7 from these next 3.

Pretty much guaranteed I reckon. Makes a lot of sense to stick to what worked against Spurs but also seeing as Palace play 343 as well its a no brainer.

Targett is currently worth very very little considering his injury and how little he's played in the previous 18 months.We'd be lucky to get anything close to £5M this summer. Wilson is 32 and going into his last years which will be even more injury filled than his prime year's. He's got experience and scores goals etc but his downsides are so glaring. If we can get somewhere between £10M and £15M I'd take it. Plus he's in his last year now (?) Almiron is the big one. He's 30 but he still plays like he's 20 and this current injury aside is pretty sturdy. Saudi seems the obvious choice for him. I think we could squeeze £20M out of one of those clubs over there for him.

We'd probably still end up in pot 6.

The more quotes I see from Ratcliffe, the more I think he's the perfect guy for Man Utd. The more he talks the more stupid he makes himself and his club look.
