Its happening again - people saying ‘keep Nunez’. No NO NO.

Yeah, felt great after I’d written it.

My dad used to be thrilled by what he called Dalglish’s ‘football intelligence’, by which he didn’t mean IQ, more that ability to read the instant - knowing exactly what was the best option, in a millisecond. I have never seen (since my first match in April 1972) a regular Liverpool first-teamer who has less of this than Nuñez. Over the last three years I have read on this forum about his presence, his physicality, and no end of excuses. There have even been some whispers about keeping him since he recently scored a goal in a pre-season friendly against a second-tier team. One thing Jürgen had plenty of was a belief in his own ability to turn raw material into something great. Please can we just agree that on this occasion he was absolutely mistaken. Nuñez is not and never was good enough. His attitude eventually matched his football ability. The price paid for him makes it worse. I just hope the club can fool some club into taking him off our hands. I never ever want to see him play for us again.

I’d swap him for Olise. Couldn’t believe Bayern had an open run at him last summer.

I feel the same about Jones. Never been convinced. He has had brief periods where he’s looked like he could make it but I would take the money if it were a good offer. It would do his career good.

Oh yes. Come on here to get excited about the new signings and now I’m worried about Ibou.

Except when he has. Quansah.

Wonder whether Robertson would want to stay as second-choice? I think it would be nice for him to bow out at the top. And I’m already imagining the smirk on his face after he cleans out A-A in the Madrid derby. Yes, works for me.

Never going to be a regular starter though.

Tranmere? There’s someone for everyone, even Darwin.

This has trolled me into a foul temper.

Was amused yesterday to see that it was the anniversary of Ray Clemence signing from Sc***horpe United. Stop. Just stop.

Especially a ‘striker’ who doesn’t score goals.

The stuff of nightmares.

That’s made my day.

I wouldn’t mind seeing Chiesa on the pitch.

Yes. First time for a long time it was really apparent. I was trying to work out what was wrong during both matches and this was it. They had some fantastic young talent but also everything happened so quickly.

Good call.

Then he’s an idiot.

I didn’t even know you were Irish Kept it quiet.

I used to hear (fairly frequently) ‘You useless Irish b*****d’ on the Kop.

This kind of crap always seems to break just before a big match. I hate it.

Are they though? They’re walking away - as usual - with a weak league. We play good, hard opponents week in, week out. I’m not normally confident (still worrying about the league) but I just can’t believe we will lose to them over two legs with the second at home.

Manager obviously agrees with me.

It’s a fair point.
