The only crumb of comfort of this season would be Everton snatching 4th from Arsenal.
Couldn't give a flying f*** anymore
The only crumb of comfort of this season would be Everton snatching 4th from Arsenal.
Our only chance of getting anything from this game was to stifle midfield, two banks, Sandro & Dembele in midfield, strong backs to the wall energy. I would have had hope but as soon as i saw the line up i knew Tim had ****ed it up again. How can he blame anyone else but himself? Just as our injury list is clearing up and we can put out a half decent side, Timmeh picks a makeshift team as though picking Sig and Bentaleb in midfield was our only option. Absolutely unbelievable line up from Sherwood totally clueless. Its not Sig and Bentaleb's fault they're not goin to stem the constant tide of Liverpool attacks and offer our defence any protection and our defence are clueless. Are there two more woeful defenders than Kaboul and Vertonghen? Dont get me started on the fullbacks
is it over yet ?
:ross:
Please people remember what GB is saying now. I guarantee, if LVG comes in and doesn't produce, he'll be saying something completely different.
:ross: Considering the way we're playing, we'll struggle to beat anyone in PL.
Personally i feel Sherwood and AVB are as bad as each other (In different ways).
Our squad is a joke tbf. The bottle job ****s literally give goals away every week....disgusting bunch of cretins.
i thought anyone would be better than avb, we were that bad. but when i thought 'anyone' i was still equating that to a professional football manager. it seems levy really did just appoint anyone. sherwoods credentials make him just a random bloke really. and whats worse, is he's a random bloke hell bent, not on spurs winning, but waging one of the most singular publicity campaigns since pele started advertising viagra and turning up to the isle of wight u-12's players player of the year awards.
wtf does the cuunt sit in the stands? we all know why - so the camera will focus more on him.
Disgusting lack of fight from our nowhere men today. You could see it in the tunnel before the game, though. The Liverpool players all looked up for it, focused, raring to get out on the field of play; our sorry lot looked like they were waiting for fuсking kebabs. Vertonghen especially guilty; wanted a good fuсking kick in the аrsе.
Rogers has done well so far but this is ridiculous, they are genuinely discussing whether Rogers is a new Bill shankley on 5live.
Please don't let them win the league, PLEASE!!
I just watched the goals again (didn't watch the second half as I went out for a delicious omelette with the family), and each and every one involved us being ****e and them taking full advantage.
Goal one: Ball given away. Eriksen doesn't stop Jonson, Verts doesn't knock it for a corner, Kaboul OG.
Goal two: Sloppy pass from Naughton, terrible "touch" from Dawson, Kaboul out-muscled by Suarez, great finish.
Goal three: Flanangan not under pressure, Coutinho not under pressure, great finish.
Goal four: Scored from a cross from a free kick.
Disgraceful.
I know nobody is interested in a defence of Sherwood, but none of those are down to tactics, selection or formation.
Also, we had more shots then them 15 to 11.
They had 5 shots on target, and scored 4 goals.
It's just this hideous season - everything imaginable just goes wrong over and over and over again.
I think goal number one was down to tactics/formation as Eriksen is not the player you want on the left side of midfield when you are facing Johnson and Sterling (especially with Rose as the full back)
But even if that's true there were still THREE other defensive errors with goal 1:
- Rose stood off Sterling before he passed it
- Verts didn't clear at the near post
- Kaboul put it in
The formation should have had enough to it that Eriksen not perfectly tracking back shouldn't have mattered.
