Hmmm…thing is to me two holding midfielders was basically killed off by Busquets and Kante, it’s the best part of 20 years out of date at the top level. I think a fit & firing Phillips is a good signing but if he takes 4-6 weeks to get up to speed then as a loan it’s pretty pointless….

Ok… what does 4231 give us that 433 doesn’t in your opinion and which one would you mostly use away from home? 🤔

A match fit Phillips yeah…

Yeah, not arguing. Just thinking about Jan 22 though when we got precisely what we needed… it may be possible to get others who slot straight in…

Not sure about this. We need players who can hit the ground running… likely to take this lad a while to get up to speed…

All this talk of injuries and changing things is all well and good but some things are just written in the stars

There was some analysis earlier this season that said we’ve been playing precisely the same way as Liverpool did when Klopp first went there

This hits the core problem with our injuries and reintroduction squarely on the head

Brilliant point about Wood, Wilson and Isak and the fuckwits among our suppprt Sammy

Yeah yeah I’ll come as long as we’re torturing Gemmill am there ☺️

Can I come? 😀

@Isegrim

This is it. If this season fades away into mid table nothingness it may well be dagger to heart of some punters’ pride but I don’t have the “THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE” gene. That phrase has been trotted out over the last month by people supremely unqualified to utter it. If what we’re dishing up isn’t acceptable to to you as a fan what’s your next move? I’d suggest it’s out the door with the rest of the fuckin Jonny come latelys. I’ve always thought that there 11 shirts to support every weekend and then it’s a personal choice thing, and for that last couple of months it’s been about every three days which is where the problem mostly lies, not that people want to accept that as the main reason seeing as their association with a winning side is now looking precarious 🙄 The current squad indisputably deserve our unqualified support. The personal criticism of individuals visibly running out of steam and ideas is frankly bollocks. Howe has question to answer though.

@Renton @aimaad22 You’re probably right and am suffering from my usual sore arse by trying to remain on this fence as long as possible 😆 To say a good transfer window might sort this season out and get us 4th/5th isn’t fantasy land though. It’s not the Ashley/Bruce show any more. Am a lot more confident about getting 4/5 than I was about staying up in 21/22 🤷🏻‍♂️ If we don’t we’re in uncharted waters with the owners. There’s a good chance they’ll let Howe go. Out of who is likely to be available I notice Naglesmann is the Germany coach for the Euros only. Unlikely winners iyam and you’d think he’s too young for the job full time. Bubdesliga winner and champions league semi finalist with an up and coming side. Decent CV that

Think he’s been slightly better in the last 3 games but aye after seeing the the difference Pope made then sticking with someone deemed not good enough 18 months ago is nuts tbh

You’re writing this season off before a transfer window for the world’s wealthiest club? I know it’s frustrating, I know in defeat some comments are rash and knee jerky but after reading your constant negativity every time there’s as much as a misplaced pass I’ve got to put you out of your misery mate and tell you to stop talking fuckin bollocks 😀

YES STRAWB

Never mind that who’s doing it for the mackems?

Physical and mental tiredness leads to poor decisions. This side were twatting Chelsea and Man United a month ago. Short memories. Changes need to be made like but the manager doesn’t appear keen….

Anyone have a Wood hatrick on their coupon today?

BREAKING Miguel Almiron heavily linked to a shooting from a grassy knoll in Dallas in November 1963

Gibbs White should’ve been taken out long before he could feed the winger. Miggy shouldbe buried it. Fab should’ve sorted his feet out and blocked. There’s three glaring errors . Only one is being remarked upon. I don’t get it. I can see the blatant limitations in Almiron game. I don’t see logical options from the bench and I see a manager who was accused of being too loyal to players in his previous job to the extent that it caused their relegation and him leaving his boyhood club. But aye, Miggy’s shite man 😑

If it makes you all feel better yes
