Just got home from the game. Everyone on here nice and relaxed?

You wasn't around in the eighties and nineties i take it?

Very much around in the 90’s mate. But then win, lose or draw didn’t bother me because I expected to get beat! Now every game matters!!

Why don’t you fuck them off for a week?

Give your hands a rest.

We are not going to win the title.
The main reason is that we spent £60M on a surplus winger instead of extra CM/DM.
Hopefully the happy clappers "we won by 19 pts last year wr are gonna walk it in this year lolz, we are uncatchable! #Pep" are now satisfied.

Frustrating, need to be at it from the get go. Don't need to say anything on Walker, think it's all been said. Jesus needs something to get back to his best, passenger today.

But they ARE top, so that statement is a bit daft.

They are without Gomez and Matip so Lovren is playing for them. Milner has also been injured and he's been one of their better players this season.

I don't think they are as bad as your blue tinted spectacles hope they are. We do still have a better squad, but unfortunately, the area that we are let down was perfectly visible today. We have no central mid without Fern. They have several players, while not as good, that can still do a job if they get injuries there.

I fail to see on the evidence of today and on Wednesday any concrete evidence that we have a better squad than Liverpool.

I think today’s game is a good assessment of our season so far.
Times brilliant & at times very poor.

Issues in order for the season & game today.

1. Biggest problem not taking our chances
2. We have had major players injured
3. Absolutely no luck all season with the bounce of the ball.
4. Need a dm and striker ASAP. Can’t live without fern & cant live with Jesus
5. Pep set us up wrong today & on occasions. We are the chasing club we don’t rest our best players. We win today with Kev & Aguero.
6. A bit of arrogance with some players.
7. Consistency with all players needs to improve. Sterling, fern, Laporte & Edison the only consistent players.

No way we should of lost to Chelsea or Palace today we should of been out of sight at half time in both games.

If we want to keep the title we need to be more ruthless! Simple

Stones not a DM. Not now. Not ever. Pep too slow to bring stars back after injury. Has been doing it for a long time and it is slightly arrogant. kev should have started with Augero up front.
A fit Salah would not be left to stew on the bench.

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

No WE got our tactics wrong!

They played 5 in midfield and doubled up on our wingers. Zaha didn't get beyond the edge of the centre circle in our half until we scored. They had 4 giants in defence against our forward players. They mopped up pretty much everything. Their tactics were spot on, and we weren't quick enough getting at them. Too many side ways and backwards passes, but then their tactics forced us to play that way.

Why? Because you think we're not going to win the title with only 20 games still to play?
