S-Clarke Posted 26 December, 2017 Share Posted 26 December, 2017 He and Stephens were magnificent at Anfield for that 0-1. Under a good manager like Puel he’s not that bad Stephens was great last season, one of the shining lights. But even he is regressing at the moment. I'd say all of our team are playing below themselves, they're all better than this with a decent structure around them. It's really clear to see a well coached team, but it's also really clear to see one which isn't coached - or one which isn't following the orders - and this is one of them.

Whitey Grandad Posted 26 December, 2017 Share Posted 26 December, 2017 To be fair, Puel and MPe have had their leading CB's sold from under them with no replacements inbound (other than dross like Bedranek). I still don't think Yoshida is our biggest issue, I know there are some who seemingly hate the bloke, but there are much bigger issues with our squad than Maya. I don’t hate him at all. It’s just that he’s not very good at defending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitey Grandad Posted 26 December, 2017 Share Posted 26 December, 2017 Ah JWP on - that will make all the difference here. Whatever the problem, JWP is not normally the answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Munster Posted 26 December, 2017 Share Posted 26 December, 2017 He has to go before the Man. U. game - I don't care if Dave Watson is caretaker for that game, but Pellegrino has to go now. Good God no. Then we'll be playing with 11 statues on the pitch. He needs to go along with the clown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Clarke Posted 26 December, 2017 Share Posted 26 December, 2017 I genuinely wonder if Shane Long will score another goal in his professional football career as a striker? He probably will once he's put in a team with the right players around him. He's better when he's alongside a 'big man' and he can run in behind, we've been trying to play him as our lone striker for the last 18 months hence his low goal return. He's always been a support player, same as Gabbiadani really, but we keep playing them as single strikers and seemingly recking their confidence. Puel was as bad with this one up front fixtation. If you had the right player, fair enough, but we don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonnyboy Posted 26 December, 2017 Share Posted 26 December, 2017 I expected 4 or 5 against us but this is painful. It’s like watch a loved one fade away. Unfortunately in my opinion it goes back to the cruel premature death of our owner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stknowle Posted 26 December, 2017 Share Posted 26 December, 2017 **** me how did Long not get that. Jesus. He is just stunningly sh!t at scoring, which just happens to be what he is played to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted 26 December, 2017 Share Posted 26 December, 2017 Nice to see Shane taking the limelight off Redmond by setting them up with a top quality defensive header.

Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk Partly because our home crowd start wailing and booing if we don't "get it fackin forward, shhooooooootttt". I think we're going down unless a new manager comes in and does a great job. Bunch of frustrated players, some of whom are crap, poor manager and toxic atmosphere.

shurlock Posted 26 December, 2017 Share Posted 26 December, 2017 He’s an awful centre half, a sign of our lack of ambition. You've always had an irrational thing against him, so hard to take you and others seriously. He's a no.3 CB who's often played like our no.1 CB in the last 18 months. Whether we should be in that situation is a more valid question. But there are far bigger problems and questions regarding the quality and direction of the squad.

Suhari Posted 26 December, 2017 Share Posted 26 December, 2017 I somehow feel that we have been better from an attacking point of view this half. Seem to be taking more risks. Too little too late of course (despite Tadic scoring as I type). My point is....we ARE better going forward then we have shown under this clown of a manager.

5string Posted 26 December, 2017 Share Posted 26 December, 2017 Good shot from Hoj. Loris made the sort of save we'd like Forster to make. Ooh, and then another goal!
