[Double R]

The amount of penalties that has been scored against us over the last few seasons surely defies mathematical logic by now?

 

[jazzy]

Rico is not a full back , kova is not a rhodri replacement & Harland is playing like Steve Kinsey

 

[ShaunMCFC]

He's not exactly a Vinny or a Fernandinho is he. Players who earned respect from everyone.

Absolutely not, Rodri or Dias obvious candidates, injured or not

 

[Worzel Gummidge#9]

We were worse at the weekend.

Injuries. Everybody grow a pair.

Spot on. Usual lightweights panicking.

 

[Blue Bogey]

Peps biggest challenge this week may not be injuries but to lift the players heads to perform against Brighton. The players who are fit and need to go again after playing the recent games are probably shell shocked they are not used to losing like this in this team.

According to the rag cunts at the bbc City were thrashed

We were well beaten.

 

[Bluesince1979]

There’s moaning and criticism, then the absolute clear rag comments that I was fucking referring to. That’s what.

Behave yourself

Some of the biggest overreactions I’ve heard for a long time on here this evening. Get through the international break with minutes into Kev and no more injuries and we will be fine. These players are the same ones that won 4 in a row and I’m still backing them to make it five in five…..as long as we can stop these injuries piling up.

They aren't though are they.

Nunes, Savinho and maybe even Doku were not integral in winning 4 in a row

For me Doku is the best of the 3 but not consistent enough yet.

At present they are having to play far too much and we are weaker for it.

Proper shitshow tonight, and armed the red media with all sorts of ammo to use against us to boot.

Every single aspect of coverage from the commentators through pundits through media all the way down to red twats in the match thread, all wallowing in our present fortunes, with knives out, the negativity is heavy.

We are in a bad place and the players are spread too thin with injuries and relentless games, and it is showing.

Without all our first team choices available our tactics of the high line is exploited every time we lose the ball.

Teams just have to defend in numbers and break with pace against us, and we are making it easy for them atm.

Pep needs to prove he is the best again, to find a way to turn it around, and soon or we are winning nowt.

Lowest point since that 4-0 v everton in Peps first season imo.

We must look forward and not dwell in the now, its tempting to just go for the five timer and fck everything else off.

On the bright side, these three losses have been spread over three comps inc one we dont want anyway, and have not damaged the others beyond recall.

Time to dig deep, and keep our players away from the internationals for once like other clubs do.

I agree with some of this but "Relentless games" is not true. Liverpool have played exactly the same amount of games. They are not in the same position as us. They do not have the same injuries as us. Nor the same ability to commit defensive suicide every game at least 3 times.
