tbh we were not going to win it this year and i think most of you knew that after the way some results have gone, but we are under threat of not finishing in the top 4 and that's a disaster especially if we hand it over on a plate to the red sox, i'd snatch your hand off to take 4th spot today

Might do us good to have no European football - not doing Chelsea or Scouse any harm is it?

Throwing shit loads of money at it doesn't appear to work does it lets face it.

I've been a member for a while, but I've never posted before. We haven't been nearly as poor as some of you suggest. The way Pep set up the team neutralised Liverpool’s pressing and counterattack - they created literally nothing, apart from the goal. When was the last time Liverpool had 5 shots in total – at home? Or was it Klopp’s master-tactician who was sitting deep and waited for our mistakes? In Lawro’s wet dream,. maybe. As I’ve seen it today, he’s done again his part of the deal – he set us up to be able to efficiently move into the last third of the pitch, as Henry once said – but it was the players who did not do their part and failed individually to do anything from there. Full-stop.


Burnley on Monday, a nice win to start 2017 on a right track, with Pep good times are ahead. Onwards and upwards! Happy New Year to every Blue Brother.

Some good points on the defending. We did neutralise Liverpool. The problem was our attacking - tiki-taka shite - We wouldn't have scored tonight if we'd played for a week.

Beaten by a bang average team who won't win the league. Disappointing .

I don't think Pep deserves a free pass but you make some very good points. He can't legislate for players not turning up and doing their job when he's tactically set us up the right way. Barca away was the classic case in point - who could have envisaged the Fernandinho slip to let Messi in for their opener? And when we were still well in the game and arguably the better team, Bravo cocked up and got himself sent off.

I've seen enough evidence so far this season that when the players do carry out his instructions and don't shoot themselves in the foot we're virtually unstoppable but, the first 6 weeks or so of the season aside, it's not happening on a consistent enough basis so far, and because his tactics are pretty high risk it has a propensity to go spectacularly pear-shaped when it doesn't go according to plan. Personally, I think that consistency will come over time and talk of him "falling on his sword" at this stage is downright ludicrous IMO.

Some good points.

However, allowing them the lead after just 8 minutes gave them the impetus they needed and compounded our misery.

We don't cope well when having to come from behind and we are poor at coping with counter attacks. We didn't do too badly today coping with their attack after going behind, but we were thoroughly miserable going forward.

Anyone want to discuss Kolarov?

The guy is an utter useless twat. I dont think he actually did anything right in the first half - I know for a fact that in the first 10 mins he took a shite free kick that hit middle of the wall, had 2 punts that went straight to a dipper player, shit touch from Yaya pass, and then beat in the air whilst standing like a lemon.

He's a cnut, and as long as Pep picks him I will have no confidence in the manager.

Yes. There's more of a problem than Kolarov. Discussion over.
