I think we get a couple of lucky escapes in first 15. Then hold on until half time.

Are city out of the race but Bournemouth and Sunderland in the race? how did PSG end up coming through a knock out qualifier in CL after group stage? from what I can see we still have 29 games in the league to go.

The short termism is nuts. we weren’t as good as first few games showed and not as bad as last few games. yeah he’s not done great and can do better. psg were terrible at start of last season. and the talk of change. Had to invest in left back and right back. Whoever came in, unless it was a clone of what we had, was always going to be a step down for a while, until they settle. New first choice left forward and 2 new strikers - who would’ve guessed that would need an adjustment.

If we started at one corner, we need to turn 3 to get back to where we were… of course we want the win on weekend. big performance priority

That would be right if it was a league game. It’s a nothing game. Treat it like a friendly which is what he did. Clearly we need the time on the training field. Expecting a performance vs Villa.

Am I the only one that is ok with it? Playing more first team players was a hiding to nothing. Plus we had a full week of training for the first time in ages. No pre game or post game rest. Not to mention the next couple of rounds. rio and Gomez got minutes, as did Mac and kerkez. Ramsey wasn’t too bad. Chiesa looked solid too. Anyone calling for slot because of this is an idiot. Im expecting a reaction on weekend. Thats the real barometer.

Write off the palace game. Then a run of clean sheets. Play Wirtz into form. Play grav and Dom in front Of back 4. Ban the pass back. Full backs only overlapping, no more coming inside, stay wide. no more weak falls either. Stay on feet. no more weak tackles. Go hard. just show us desire. Build from That.

Woody, bradley, Gomez, kid with Endo to sub in, kerkez/robbo - 45 each Nyoni and Endo another kid, chiesa, Isak/eti (45 each), rio. grav, Mac, depending on fitness. first team should be working on league games.

Play gakpo eti and salah as a narrow front 3 and press. Wirtz behind. Full backs overlapping. Grav and Dom sitting, with grav dropping into back line.

Lots of mitigation: new keeper, new full backs, strikers and structure with true 10, new coach and of course Jota. add in Ali, grav, Mac, Isak, Frimpong, Leoni, Bradley injuries already. Then Salah off form, konate contract, gakpo adjusting to first choice. new signings haven’t had a grace period to settle in either. doesn’t excuse lack of structure and goals conceded however and coach needs to be able to affect the team. he still has time for me but early December, no signs, I’d be bringing back Klopp for rest of the season and go again next season.

Kelleher spent 10 years with us and trained with Ali everyday. This new lad just played a couple of games. Probably earlier than expected. people seem to forget Robertson and Fabinho had 3 months to adapt before coming in.

I didn’t see any desire in second half at all. Surprised he waited until 56 minutes given how poorly we came out. Would’ve hooked Salah on 50. Fair play to slot. Honest in post match. No hiding which I like. now go fix it. Got a week on the training ground. Don’t want to see any of first team for league cup.

Actually is quite impressive to tbh. Never seen that from a team losing.

He’s not the problem.

Bet my son $50 we don’t have a shot in the added time.

No one talking to ref about the clock.

2 minutes should be added. Watch whistle blow on 97.

7 minutes to hold on. See if we can keep it to 3-2.

Well goal difference will be important for relegation fight.

Well done Dom. Amazing what happens when you press.

40 minutes and not one serious attempt at goal.

We’ve given up. a horrendous indictment on this team. and not even testing the keeper.

Has kelleher touched the ball this half?

Ignores when we had title won and nothing else to play for.

This could get ugly. Like stoke ugly.
