Thanks for your input Russ.

Doesn't count for much but our move for the goal scored by Fernandes was the pick of the game. We completely gift wrapped Liverpool's first two goals and conceded a stupid penalty although Sugawara could be considered a little unlucky. This habit of conceding ridiculous goals must stop but clearly Russell has no idea how.

When does the much-needed new manager start?

If it was just cramp why wasn't he treated and allowed to carry on?

He's likely seen through Russell's 'I'm your best mate' bullshit and read him his fortune about his stupid tactics. Good on him if he did. About time some of the other senior players started having a say.

I imagine he felt great out there today showing what he can do and sticking two fingers up to Russball - bet he felt six feet tall......oh, hold on.

Well you have to be brave to sit through a week of him talking tactics and then having to embarrass yourself on the pitch every week playing a system that even someone who never played football or saw a match could work out is insane.

His arrogance will cost us more games until SR decide to bite the bullet.

Unfortunately, yes although he is also a snake oil salesman.

Rinse and repeat but no lessons ever learned.

He doesn't and won't.

Because he hasn't got a clue.

Speaks absolute volumes. He's not in Russell's in-crowd and never will be along with Taylor and ABK.

We'd have to pay them and it wouldn't be cheap.

Not really, Russell Martin is our manager.

Scored two against the best defence in the league and might have had another penalty.

Who knew - clearly not Russell the Bouffant.

Nail smashed on the head - pity SR can't see it.

We've had one but unfortunately he never got picked until today then played brilliantly but got injured. Maybe Blackmore can ask Russell about that but we know no difficult questions are allowed or toys get ejected from the pram.

This needs a bump. Shame on Martin for ignoring this guy and giving him no chance until today. RM is probably relieved TP got injured but he's left himself with egg all over his manicured beard.

His treatment of Tall Paul has shown he has zero knowledge about football and that was shown up today as TP showed what he can do if given the opportunity but Russ knows best of course.

Is he still here?

I enjoyed much of our performance and it makes me want Martin gone even more because we are a far better side than his tactics and decisions are making us look. We have completely wasted a reasonably easy start to the season while this charlatan continues his vanity project which continues to show no sign of working and largely contributed to another defeat today.

Russell will take 2 things from that - he'll view it as a moral victory but he'll be furious at our lack of possession.

A good manager would have us out of the bottom 3.
