I thought we would be angry and show a proper reaction after 3 defeats and the manner of them. If we aren’t angry and don’t show a proper reaction after losing at home to those b*****ds (and they weren’t exactly all that either) as well then we really do have a problem.

One of our all time greats and I love him dearly but he absolutely needs dropping.

Yeah there’s lots wrong, but we miss an open goal for the draw and we hit the woodwork 3 times. I’m down but I’m not completely despondent, there’s bags of quality in the squad but it’s not gelling at all. But I completely agree we are way too passive.

Painful. I don’t think we were as bad as is being made out, on another day with a bit more luck we win that game. But, 4 defeats on the bounce. You can’t ignore that. Big questions for the manager now.

We’ve not been good but we’ve not had any luck either.

If MacAllister scores and takes that hat off in celebration is it a booking?

Wirtz & Ekitike on for MacAllister & Gakpo. Or even Salah.

Well that was horrible. And stop with those awful floated balls across the box.

Under a bit of pressure now. Let’s see what he’s made of. Everything we’ve seen from him thus far suggests he will figure it out, but I am worried. It’s a talented squad but there are weaknesses that need to be addressed or at least compensated for. Going to be edgy as f*** in 2 weeks.

Where do I sign?

On the train home now, 2 weeks in a row I’ve stood in the away end & had 35000 people go mad at my expense. Occupational hazard, but it doesn’t get any easier. And just like last week we can’t really complain can we. Not good enough this Arne, and you need to sort it quickly, it’s an unforgiving League.

Dreamt that Wirtz scored an absolute screamer in this last night. Bent it into the top corner like a motherf***er. Think Kenny at Highbury in the yellow away kit, only with more pace. No idea of the match context, whether it was a late winner or a consolation in an 8-1 defeat. Our end went mad so I think more the former than the latter, but that’s all I’ve got. And no, I don’t know who got the assist.

One of the oldest truths in football for me is that you are never more than 2 games from a crisis.

Yeah this is the concern. You can say different league, got to adjust to the physicality & pace blah blah blah, but many of his errors are technical. And on top of that he’s lightweight and ineffective. Not liking what I’m seeing at all.

Clement Turpin. Couldn’t have named him better myself. Thinks he can referee the game with those exaggerated French facial expressions. I hate him.
