Chaser

I've been suitably distracted and cheered up. Time we gave this thread up and got back to hoping for one last signing or a loan within the last 11 hrs.

We spent a lot of time defending in the 2nd half which undoubtedly takes a lot out of players and most of the game they were up and down the pitch as a unit. We won't play like that every game and we won't have the threat of some of the quality we faced tonight. Regardless of that we took the game to them, looked better for 45 minutes and defended superbly second half. The team did all they could to get a point where the ref did everything he could to get them 3 points.

He has turned into a red Scouser. Behaves like one.

Game was over by 96th, even calling it when they got a corner was late. It's too late to get points back but that needs too be looked at by the PL. It's a fucking disgrace.

Anderson on for Miggy

Joe is man of the match for me at the moment. Murphy must have a bit of string tied to him from our goal. The further up the pitch the slower he goes..

Wood watch.

So close that offside. Brilliant finish

Love to see Klopp getting wound up.

Nice assist by Longy

Fucking get in ISAK!

Close....

Going to need some energy to sustain this level of pressing and getting everyone back behind the ball.

We look as likely to score as they do

Dumb bell

It would suggest we will play deeper with Lascelles and Burn as they're not going to chase back with their lack of pace. Tactical masterstroke by Eddie (hoping) Can't wait to see Isak and Fraser will no doubt run himself ragged. Not expecting much though.

Chelsea are trying to buy their way out of a shaky back line left since Rudiger fucked off but do the media question them spending so much? Absolutely not.

We've got to push for a European place this season, not next as it'll kick on the level of players we can continue to attract. If say we've managed to attract 50% of the players we were seriously interested in, and we increase that to 80% through getting Euro competition, then it can only be of benefit. We're not Champions League level of course, but by getting a few more top drawer bodies in over the next 2 windows, with the attraction of Euro football from 2023, we probably could be.

If Dubravka improves Man U then it's bad business for us as they are the team we should be looking to displace given their ability to implode. If there's one club I hate in the prem it's Man U, I delight at their demise. I hope Ten Hag is another failure on their list of burned managers and that their latest signings flop under the pressure.

Fraser Wood Miggy. Pointless playing Murphy as he loses his head once he's in the final 3rd.

No Maxi, Bruno, Shelvey, Wilson and potentially no Isak tomorrow means we could be starting with Fraser Miggy and Wood leading the line and Joe, Willock and Longstaff in midfield. I'm not filled with confidence.

Just bring Jude Bellingham in. Would complete the window

It would be an outstanding buy! I'd have Tielemens here but I'm not sure if we would get him.

Lots of early injuries. Overtraining or just getting kicked about?
