Fine to criticise his form, which is undeniably poor, but it’s a cheap shot to call someone who have given us so much a thief. Show a bit more respect, mate, and choose your words more carefully.

Because the alternative at present is cardboard cutouts. Cue some bright spark to say they would be an improvement.

Yes, we’re grasping at straws but any port in a storm. After a long period in the wilderness, he has looked quite sharp and motivated these last few weeks. That can’t be said of everybody,

What an inviting opportunity for berks and horseshitters to identify themselves….

Based on nothing? Maybe on the fact that Txiki and Pep saw fit to recall him and give him a slot in the first team squad. Why would they want to waste a squad place on someone with allegedly no talent? And also based on the fact that there’s a rash of injuries and loss of form throughout the...

Pep certainly has things to answer for but he’d have been crucified if we get hammered by the dippers using players even more shagged out than they are now. If you can’t rest anyone when you’re 3-0 up against the Dog & Duck, 20 minutes to play and have a dressing room full of sick notes, when...

I don’t believe he’d leave on a low.

No use saying drop X, drop Y. We are already down to the bare bones, which is the only reason one of two of them are playing. And if we’re looking for salvation in the transfer window, there’s quite a bit of water to go under the bridge before then. We’re gonna have to work through this...

Whoosh! I knew it was too subtle for some on here.

Then why was he recalled to the first team squad? Looks like a wasted place.

Oh dear.

But if you’re repeatedly out with injuries, you’re not always going to get straight back into the side. You’re being kind, mate. We all know he’s not Mr Reliable.

And, added to that, a new DoF who will want to make his mark.

There’s a lot of 20/20 hindsight on here. As I recall, the predominant feeling was positive when we heard he was coming back. He was brought in to supplement - not replace - the midfield and be played relatively sparingly. Circumstances haven’t allowed that. To be fair, he was hardly on fire...

Yes, they don’t look outlandish.

Ah right. I don’t know how it works. Just thought I’d amuse myself looking up some of the players who are in the firing line.

Pardon?

Who’s blaming any one player? Get yer specs on and look at these threads: Walker Gundogan Foden Stones Grealish Savinho Ake Doku Silva Pep Txiki Uncle Tom Cobley. Only the tea lady is still in credit with brownie points. Unfortunately she’s not available for Anfield on Sunday.

Interestingly, transfermarkt value Stones at €38m (£31.4m). And Rico at €40m (£33m). Grealish €55m (£46m). Nunes €40m (£33m). McAtee €12m (£10m).
