For those confident or dismissive of poch or on cloud nine with enzo, we have a fully fit squad, and we have BIG games coming up, one game won't define our position or improvement, but the next month will in my opinion. I think we come out of this showing we're not close to the top 3 yet but are best of the rest.

Poch got schooled in this fixture last season. A 4-1 thrashing. let's hope for an improved performance and tactical masterclass from Enzo. Unfortunate to be missing both Fofana and Marc C to suspensions.

We should of had 2 penalties, Gallagher and nkunku both very clear penalties, but it’s about coming through this period of games where we can judge where we are, going game by game without context Is nt comparable, we have a fully fit squad which we didn’t last season for a start, 4th / 5th place finish and a trophy and that’s a step ahead of poch,
19 Oct 2024 13:39:10
We are already well ahead of where we were under Poch. Should of won a cup last season only to be beaten by a scouse youth side in extra time due to his incompetence.
19 Oct 2024 19:39:29
I will agree with you, we should have won the trophy but looked as if we wre scared to lose.
20 Oct 2024 05:23:20
It was luck bill we were the better team but liverpoo are a lucky team and just snuck by which is unfortunate but who cares about that smaller trophy we've won more than liverpoo anyway.
20 Oct 2024 07:23:01
We haven’t won more than Liverpool. Football didn’t start with the Premiership or when RA became our owner.
20 Oct 2024 17:39:57
Agreed first half Liverpool game we are nowhere near top 3 we still require someone up top who’s going to scare people VD thinks it’s a training session.
20 Oct 2024 18:38:07
I would love to hear what the two scouser centre halves think of Jackson? I think he worked them very hard and always looked a threat when played down the channels.
20 Oct 2024 18:50:04
We hit the channels once he scored other than that his hold up play was awful he lost it almost every time he had it think about you didn’t hear his name now drogba Costa they were forwards.
20 Oct 2024 19:21:02
Nibb, it wouldn’t matter what he did, you will never see him in an impartial way. We all have biased opinions and we all have players we don’t rate and that’s fine but my advice would be judge players from game to game. He was on today and took his goal well.
Comparisons between players seems futile to me and I’m not a stat person but I would love to know the goal to game comparison to Drogba who the major fans didn’t rate when he first joined our club.
20 Oct 2024 20:56:04
No I thought he did well last game and took his goals well I just look at his movement hold up and finishing he took his goal well rest of game he was rubbish was a training session for there defenders.
20 Oct 2024 22:01:03
Nibb, he didn’t score in the last game. Noni scored. If you thought that Jackson was poor in that game I would love to know your opinion of that Palmer performance?
21 Oct 2024 14:56:11
Right what you said he should of also been pulled palmer was awful to, but he’s the best player we have to scoring you hear Chelsea are 1-0 up you think palmer that tells another story city go 1-0 you think Haaland, sorry as well I didn’t mean the forest game it was westham where he took his goals well I have nothing against him I just think he’s ok and that’s not good enough for me to be ok as a Chelsea forward my opinion. We need these players to play well in the big games and your right palmer was bad yesterday Noni and Sancho also the back line Tosin and cowell looked lost with simple balls over the top it’s ok saying we stopped them shooting how many did we have apart from the goal? Enzo Viega Neto did nothing when coming on, was it better than last season? We lost so no not really it’s ok playing better but we still got 0 points, and let’s be right there not great are they and still where behind them.
21 Oct 2024 16:06:09
Nib, they apparently had eight shots on target and we had twelve.
Lavia and Caicedo looked very good and Neto was slightly better than Sancho. Noni was good in the first 45mins but was less effective in the second half.
The tactic of having a right footed LB on Salah made sense until Gusto allowed him to cut inside for there second.
As for Tosin and Colwill “looking lost” they must have played there part in restricting them to so few chances.
21 Oct 2024 17:37:54
Ok they were solid wow……. One should have been sent off one gave a penalty away one didn’t follow jones in one defended badly for second penalty we was fortunate to get away with they were great. I didn’t even no VD was playing Noni went past Robertson two times in 48minutes don’t think Sancho did at all Lavia was good caicedo was himself. To me Felix or Nkunku would have been the better option up top they have that skill to go past people in tight areas do they solve the problem, no we still require a forward and we don’t have to break the bank we just require a box man who’s good round that area.
21 Oct 2024 18:28:40
Tosin was never a sending off and Colwill looks a class act. Sancho wasn’t at his best but in my opinion deserved a pen.
According to you they were using the game like a training exercise but we gave them less chances and created more chances.
It’s the result that counts and we all see games differently but sometimes our inbuilt biased opinions take over from being impartial. I know I’m certainly guilty of blue coloured glasses but I deal try to be objective and fair.
I think a draw would have been a true reflection of the game.
