Just a reminder; a draw isn't disastrous. All it does is remove the safety net of a point at Anfield being sufficient to win the title.

He and Palmer were being booed from the first minute, I don't blame him.

I am in the stadium they were clapped onto the pitch, boos were minimal

Good on him. I absolutely fucking despise that shite when players don't celebrate. Fake bollocks.

Depends.

Lampard never celebrated when he scored for us v them.

It’s one thing not celebrating against a club you played for 15 years ago etc but when you play for a club for several years very recently, celebrating against them is tacky.

We need bernardo or foden in the middle. Players who can turn in one touch. Alvarezs second touch is chasing the first one

Noticed that, thought he had a better touch but few times he had a good angle to shoot only to be let down by first touch or too many touches.

Foden at Brentford in the middle. A hatrick.

 

[wolviedinho]

Tight margins and all that. Due to the numerous fuck ups in games in 23 we have left ourselves with little room to manoeuvre especially with March fixtures.

Starting to rely on the same handful of people. Could be doing with the squad to step up. Nunes/kova/Akanji/alvarez/doku.

If not put Foden in the middle and drop them.

Need to come out second half with a bit of purpose instead of the slow slow build up as that sets the tone for the game and teams defend against it with ease ..

 

[IcriedwhenTueartleft]

Not good so far..Alvarez needs hooking for another midfielder. Pep back to shoehorning the least skillful player on the ball in our team as a creative midfielder….

 

[69FACUPfinal]

We have been average all season for me. I don’t see it this season. We play too slowly and defend like idiots. Been winning games but against anyone half decent we have come up short.

This 100%.

Dipper mentality

You should know by now when I’m taking the piss, fuck me.
