OTF

I'm down under mate, watching on didgeridoo sports.

Gale should be on a hat trick, the second a bit harder than the first, but to have none doesn't bode well. Not making this dominance count.

Gale, geez.

Think you're still underrating him a little because he's come through the academy.

How many of those from Dummett?

Big weekend coming up for him.

Left temple, right temple, face. Remember where you saw it first.

That Dummett slide.

Keep at it. A comprehensive victory would be fantastic.

Beautiful counter there. Lovely.

Not a great touch from Gayle there, he was scoring those in the championship....

I thought Shelvey was out still. Hopefully he's keen to prove his defensive commitment.

Wonderful backheeled volley to bring Liverpool back into it, shame it was a manure defender into his own net. Trying to get off the pitch with a shame injury.

Yes, we need to get a much slower quick goal.

Mourinho's route one football. Glad we loaned out Mitro, he'll get at least 10 weeks for Lovren's elbow.

I assume this thread has been bumped because we've heard nought about him since he was loaned out. Anyone have any inside goss as to how he is going?

Some nice play there, only took 45 minutes!

Extremely so far.

If he had an injury that impacted his ability to contribute defensively (he still appeared to be well enough to travel forwards) he should have called it out and he could have been subbed instead of Ritchie. Either way he's to blame for his shit defensive contribution.

I think this is the most likely outcome. We need our wide men to really shine in the meantime and put it on a platter for our forwards who don't create anything of their own accord. That and a few Lascelles set piece goals.

We saw the best of Shelvey and the worst (setting aside his indiscretions) in the one game. It was almost as though the first half inflated his ego to the point where he didn't feel the need to put in the effort in the second half.

This is why he's in the side.

If we showed the mentality and resolve we did against Man Utd against Bournemouth in both matches we'd be in 9th place currently.

We'll give away a penalty, 2 or 3-0 in the end with sweet FA posession.

Quite the reception you have there, most turn the stream on to see what's coming. Now where's my coat?
