So why do you keep posting it then? 

Personally I don't even remember who said 9/10. Do you keep a list? 

no. but the forum does.

3 at back just dont work to be honest ...keeper ,few good saves but a bit lost at times ...midfield lightweight as fuck and Armstrong up front pretty woeful! 

Aside from that we’ve been fine!

It really was a good first 15 minutes followed by an absolute lesson for the next 30. As someone else said, I hope this is Selles’ choice of lineup because it’s just not going to work. If we come out for the second half with that line up this could get ugly quite quickly. Hopefully the World Cup players will go easy on us….

Mara or Edozie on for Adam.   I can only imagine how intense this must be for NJ...

I'd go 4-2-3-1. Due to his booking take DCC off, stick AMN at right back. And replace A Armstrong with Edozi.

[Mallagroth]

Our players are lacking in any belief. Look at the wild passing and shots. Our only real hope is that Jones is as good a man manager as claimed because he needs to instil some classic relegation fighting spirit into them.

Think we can all for finally agree Adam Armstrong is not a premier League striker 

He is a willing tryer as far out of his depth as a Prem striker as Truss was as a PM, possibly more so.

[Saint NL]

Didn't expect much from this game, so not exactly disappointed.

But there's a huge change needed, our midfield has been awful all season. We all complain about strikers, but I think the lack of midfield has really been the main issue. We are chasing every game, when was the last time we were dominant? 

Liverpool make two passes and they are running at the CBs. 

 

Let's just keep it tight second half and not get a walloping 

[Hatch]

Hopefully kicking downhill in the second half towards a goal the size of Tower Bridge and we may scrape a draw. 

[Convict Colony]

Hopefully Nathan has done some world class praying at HT and  god will bring on jesus to get on the end of some crosses

doesn't strike me as NJ formation.

Is this necessary in every thread?

Yes, the people who said 9/10 got it wrong. Get over it.

Alex is tedious. Just ignore him. He probably exploded with excitement at the end of the summer window. I just can’t be bothered to go back and fact check the prat, (giving him the chance to edit his posts). 🤣

[Sheaf Saint]

Disappointing to see A Armstrong come out for the second half. He has been absolutely hopeless.

[OttawaSaint]

Ugh. AA soft shot. He's just not any good is he?

[Convict Colony]

Armstrong has imposter syndrome

[Mr X]

Another tame shot straight to the keeper from Armstrong

That whole move summed him up. Off side anyway, tried to control it with his right but missed it, made the ball but a powder puff of a shot.

[FarehamSaintJames]

Jo Tessem: If he had more goals he’d have more confidence.

No shit.

CC not doing a great job of marking Firmino at corners

[Sheaf Saint]

We're just chasing shadows.

Tbf it was a 9/10 window.

we just didn’t sign (the) number 10 that we needed.

[OttawaSaint]

If NJ can work with this lot and get them drilled like Frank has at Brentford then we might have a chance. Crucial 6 weeks for him with most of the squad.

[BotleySaint]

So many sloppy passes putting us back under pressure.

Fuck. Forest are winning.

We need to get rid of caleta-carr as i keep thinking people are talking about me, was quite upset as I wasnt even marking firmino

[OttawaSaint]

Ref just gives folks every time a red shirt falls over.

Great ball Perraud and then awful from AA, get him off now!

[HKsaint]

AA can’t shoot

[AlexLaw76]

Good play, AA has to hit the target

[Sheaf Saint]

Oh Adam. A really good move there and the defender slipped to give him a clear shot, but he just fluffed it completely - again.

[Chez]

very tough chance for AA, but fluffed nevertheless.

He did well to hit the ball, let alone the target.

He will struggle in the championship 

[obelisk]

Complete lack of composure by AA.

[Convict Colony]

Come on guys let nick a goal back and get them a bit more worried

[Disco Stu]

Mara or Aribo on for Adam Armstrong.

To be fair, we've got into this mess, no point trying to look at other clubs. Either sort out, and get points, or go down.  Right now we need some character, but that's looking very unlikely from this group. 

[Saint NL]

Edozie coming on it looks like

[Sheaf Saint]

Walcott and Edozie coming on.

[skintsaint]

Least we are creating decent chances, take the positives.

How about if I am referring to you, I use coco?

[The Kraken]

Theo supposedly coming on, and we know what that means.

[LGTL]

Not a chance in hell that Villa, West Ham or Everton will go down. We need teams like Leeds, B’mouth and Forest to be dropping points. Awful awful day at the moment 

[BotleySaint]

Our league position is not as a result of today. But we may well be bottom by the WC. Depressing time.

[trousers]

I don't have access to a stream - how animated has Jones been on the touchline so far?

Possibly could be bottom going into the break

[Saint NL]

Triple change 

 

AMN, Walcott and Edozie.

What is 'Operatiomn Anfield Exercise"?

Where us the fucking support Perraud? Armstrong against four there.
