I would like to congratulate Curtis Jones for finally showing he is worthy of a place on the Liverpool team.
Curtis has taken to right back like he has played there all his career. Also, he has been doing things we fans have been screaming about since he broke into the team, that is go forward attacking and passing the ball forward.

He has defended well. He could be the answer to Trent. He has the passing range. I really think Curtis has found his position, plus it would save the club millions to invest in other positions.
Having not been a fan of Curtis, I have to take my hat off to him. He does have the ability and I was wrong.
My apologies Curtis Jones

26 Apr 2026 12:06:57
He has done well at RB the last few games, that's for sure.

Agree13

26 Apr 2026 12:10:43
He's not great positionally, defensively at RB, but to be fair that comes with experience. He's definitely done a job, and it means Szob is in midfield, so it works for the team as a whole.

Agree8

26 Apr 2026 12:33:47
He's done well. But he plays the position like he's playing centre midfield, which is understandable of course.

Eg. Cruyff turns and one twos on the edge of his own box, making square passes across the box.

Things that you get away with in midfield and help open up half spaces, but are very risky at right back.

Agree11

26 Apr 2026 12:34:29
Am not sold on that one, his refusal to give the ball early, I think, against top teams will be a problem.

Agree5

26 Apr 2026 12:42:05
Jones certainly grew into the game, but there were still lapses of concentration and dallying on the ball that have been apparent since his emergence as a first teamer. A talented player, though. However, for him to develop, he does need to be a regular starter, rather than a rotational option. The lad clearly has ambitions, and he is not the standard required at Liverpool to be a starter, so it makes sense for him to leave.



My only concern is that we will now have zero scousers in the Liverpool team. I know that isn't a massive issue to some people, but throughout my entire life I have seen a scouser represent Liverpool's first team, either as a strong starter or at least an option. With Trent gone and Jones looking to leave, there will be no one. Never seen a scouser-less Liverpool side, and honestly don't think I want to.

Agree7

26 Apr 2026 12:58:38
He's our new Milner (utility player). Was he not left of a front 3 before being played in mf? Hard for him to get a game when Mane, Diaz and Gakpo are in there. Good squad member, I wouldn't sell him.

Agree5

26 Apr 2026 13:40:33
Amazing what a couple of half decent performances by Curtis at RB show us:

1. That Frimpong was a strange profile of signing to replace Trent.
2. That we could have been playing Curtis there all along instead of pulling Szobo out of midfield to the detriment of the midfield and Salah.



Btw, many fans have been asking for Curtis at RB all season over taking Dom out of midfield. This is not a surprise finding.

Agree6

26 Apr 2026 13:59:48
I don't think Frimpong was to replace Trent. I think he's a utility player to fill in on right wing and RB. I think Bradley was our starting RB, but got crocked. I think Gomez was first choice RB backup, but has been in and out with injuries.

Frimpong just isn't an EPL RB, just not sound enough defensively, but handy squad member.



It shouldn't be overlooked that the "Szob or Jones" argument only came up because we were 3 RB's short for large parts of the season. It's not been an easy season as far as squad availability goes (but poor fitness coaching and lack of rotation when possible have definitely contributed to this).

Agree4

26 Apr 2026 14:18:05
Frimpong is a rb signed to replace an outgoing rb in Trent. Sounds like a replacement to me, regardless of their differing abilities or roles in the system.

Bradley and Gomez being unavailable for a large part of the season should not really be a surprise to anyone.



If we go into next season with the same three, we will be having the same mind numbing conversation again and some people will be acting surprised again.

Agree3

26 Apr 2026 15:50:23
Jones is a good player with a high football IQ. His ability to learn new positions that go against his natural attacking instinct shows that. Is he perfect in those positions? No, but he has shown he can play them to a decent level. People forget when he broke into the team he was LW/AM, a similar style of player to Coutinho if you will.

Klopp turned him into a multifunctional midfielder and Slot has now turned him into a RB. You need players like that in the squad.

From talking to him recently, I wouldn't be surprised if he signed a new contract regardless of guaranteed game time. Although I've told him to go to Italy and try something different. 😂

Agree11

26 Apr 2026 15:57:24
Cheers, Thefields.

I would like to keep Curtis around if a deal can be done. Important to have a Scouser around. He's been unlucky to not get more game time while watching Macca and Gravy stink the place out every week.

But, wouldn't begrudge him first team football elsewhere either.

Agree4

26 Apr 2026 16:22:25
FPF, that is one of the reasons people have been calling him a trouble causer this season. He wasn't happy with not starting in midfield when they have been poor and he let people know that. Meaning his attitude was called into question.

Agree7

26 Apr 2026 16:55:40
Makes sense, Thefields. Thanks!

Agree1

26 Apr 2026 17:21:06
Whilst I like Jones at rb, as he others transition from defence to midfield, to judge after only two games is way too premature. He is not naturally defensive minded, and has a lot of work to do on his game, as someone else said, he does have a tendency to take unnecessary risks.

I certainly think he can do a job there and offers us something different.

Agree2

26 Apr 2026 19:53:15
He lost the ball and nearly gave a goal doing a Cruyff turn when hemmed in yesterday.
He does this every game. He thinks he's better than he is. He'll only ever be a squad player for me.

Agree4

26 Apr 2026 22:45:42
It's like when Klopp struggled all season and fluffed around with the defence until he figured it out late to help us earn top 4.

Looks like Slot will do the same.

Agree0

27 Apr 2026 01:08:56
The big difference was JK's whole defence was decimated by injuries. AS has had an abundance of talent given to him and doesn't know what to do with it.

Agree0

27 Apr 2026 02:00:20
Alison has been out injured for two or three extended periods this season, Marma is out injured, Bradley is out injured for the season, Leoni is out injured for the season, Gomez has been out injured for three or four extended periods, as has Frimpong.

The only three who haven't been out for an extended period are VVD, Kerkez and Konate (although he has missed some games).

We also have Robbo but he hasn't been called on often because he sadly hasn't got the legs anymore.

I have to say @Grinch, we've had our fair share of injuries in defence this season.

Agree0

27 Apr 2026 06:38:37
You need guys like Jones in a squad. Ultimately he may want a move for more playing time and that is up to him. But, like Elliot, who should have stayed, players like them are like gold for a club trying to challenge on all fronts.



You can't have a team of prime aged players in their prime and ready to hit their prime from the bench.

You need a variety of players and experiences. I'd definitely keep him.

Agree0

27 Apr 2026 09:51:07
GrinchRed, I agree it's not exactly the same but it's not the polar opposite.

Fitness at RB, including Gomez, has been inconsistent all season.

We've pretty much only been able to play Konate and VVD as a CB the entire season. That hasn't been great, especially when Konate was playing like Konami for the first two thirds of the season.

Agree0

27 Apr 2026 10:33:22
For the Reds that are not in agreement over Curtis, I respect your opinions. But I would like to point out that Curtis has done really well in the RB position. It is not like he is playing in Sunday league, he is playing in the Premier League, and to be put into a position which is not his preferred position and play as well as Curtis has, shows his adaptability and skill to perform at that level. Yes, may do these turns, but that is part of his skill factor as a midfield player and will no doubt be told by the coach not to try that in dangerous positions.

He will learn as he goes along. But come on Reds, the lad has done well, give him some backing. We are all in a situation where we are complaining about all the players, even lads who have been at the club five minutes, our frustration is there for all to see. YNWA

26 Apr 2026 11:13:09
Question for the Eds (and obviously welcome everyone's thoughts)

Do you think potential new managers/head coaches could be put off joining as a result of the set up behind the scenes?

If Edwards and Hughes are "interviewing" new managers and it is clear through these conversations that the two are remaining in post- I think that could put off potential first team head coaches

I know that the set up is not unfamiliar in modern day football but any manager and their agent will surely want assurances that they way they want to set up, and play, aligns with Edwards and Hughes.

Wasn't Edwards over-extending himself when Klopp was here one of the reasons he left the club before returning?

I worry that having those two in position will put off the type of manager we want, and is that now manifesting itself in more "noise" around Slot staying on next season.

{Ed001's Note - yes, simply because Edwards role is not clearly delineated. The job he was meant to be doing does not exist, so he is interfering within the club without any remit or limits on what he is involved with. That is a big red flag to anyone. It is like having one of those mad old chairmen that used to pick the teams etc. Nobody wants to work under those structures, they want to know that they can do their job without interference.}

26 Apr 2026 11:52:37
I cannot see them two letting a new manager have the run of the playing side edd1 they have to protect their positions after the fiasco of this season anywhere else they would have been sacked but there is still time for that to happen. YNWA

Agree3

26 Apr 2026 11:59:19
I've given up the idea of Alonso because of Edwards and Hughes potentially staying.

I think the two muppets only leave if FSG sack them, but I don't think FSG have the balls, or maybe the understanding, to do so.

The likes of Alonso and Enrique (if he ever became available) wouldn't work under Edwards and Hughes in their current capacity, in my opinion.



My guess is we stick with Slot next season or get someone like Hoeness in. I'd take the latter as I think Slot has done all he can already and we need a change now.

Agree3

26 Apr 2026 12:36:16
"I don't think FSG have the balls, or maybe the understanding, to do so."

I agree with this. I think they trust Edwards highly, hence why they bought him back in a more senior capacity.

I can't see them being close enough to the football side to over rule him on football aspects. In that regard, I think they are quite hands off.

Agree5

26 Apr 2026 13:50:25
I don't know how true it is but I did read that Edwards is on 10 million a year. So, I would think one of the 2 will be leaving at least. Can't be paying out that much to someone who no longer has a job with a purpose anymore.

Agree5

26 Apr 2026 13:50:27
I think the amount of business that is still required this summer is definitely one half of why they are still pumping out the "we are one" propaganda. (The other half being keeping the current squad focused on the minimum objective of CL qualification).

Not an ITK, but my money is on Slot announcing his departure by mutual consent at the end of the season, Hughes completing the summer's recruitment business before announcing his departure in September.



With Edwards, much depends on FSG's decision on multi-club. It seems they still want to do it but are not pursuing it at the moment due to economic uncertainty. However, if one of the 10s of clubs they have performed due diligence on become more financially distressed and offer an opportunity, don't rule out an acquisition.

But who knows. Maybe they all stay. Maybe they all leave. It's all just speculation at this point.

Agree1

26 Apr 2026 18:10:43
100% - months ago I said Edwards/Hughes would likely have to go in order to bring Xabi in. They have all the control, and anybody with half a brain can see there's a complete disconnect between the execs and the coaching when it comes to a vision for the direction this team needs to go in terms of an effective system when you look at the summer signings. Potential managers will be very aware of this, and it will massively affect their decision to come on board. Edwards is ideally looking for a yes man, which I believe could be detrimental to the club's progress for obvious reasons.

I am, however, hopeful that FSG is wary of this situation, as nobody has been offered a new contract yet. Fingers crossed it stays that way. Many people really will not want to hear this, but if Edwards/Hughes jobs are currently safe, in the long run, it may actually be beneficial for Slot to stay on, continue to struggle, and for all 3 muppets to get the sack next season.

If a new manager comes in now and we get that bounce, we're only deluding ourselves, we'll still have the disconnect between the overly controlling Edwards, his hand puppet and the head coach, and I can't ever see that not being an issue.

Hopefully it doesn't come to that and FSG are already looking to replace Slot this summer and the other 2 during the course of the next year. Unfortunately the optics of replacing all 3 in one fell swoop are not good; it makes the club look unstable, so as much as I want it, I don't see it happening.

Agree0

26 Apr 2026 21:22:43
"The job he was meant to be doing does not exist, so he is interfering within the club without any remit or limits on what he is involved with."


This is gonna be a real problem. I promise you that.

Agree0

27 Apr 2026 02:02:29
It already is @Oli, it's a big contributing factor in our epic decline this season.

Agree0

26 Apr 2026 09:59:47
Internet stories about Slot getting another season.

I am annoyed. What are the thoughts of others...?

Another season of backwards passing snooze fest.
FSG... Up to you. If that is what you want.

26 Apr 2026 10:34:47
If Slot stays, there ain't a lot I can do about it and I certainly won't be happy. I'll just have to get on with it and back the squad.

Agree13

26 Apr 2026 10:39:42
If Slot stays, the ticket price increases are the least of the owners' worries.

Agree10

26 Apr 2026 11:59:41
There was a passage of play yesterday that sums up Slot's coaching. Vvd passed the ball to Robbo, he ran ten yards, passed it to Gapko, who cut inside, passed it back to Slobz, who passed to Salah, who passed it to Jones. We are now on the edge of their penalty area.

Jones turns back, passes to Konate, he passes it to Vvd, who passes it to Woody in goal, attack finished. So we went from our penalty area to their penalty area, back to our own penalty area. This happened in the first half. This is Slot football.

Agree12

26 Apr 2026 23:10:42
I wouldn't mind.
I'd watch for the journey and progression of the team post-Mo.

Agree0

27 Apr 2026 07:23:42
Behave Faith, Mo has missed a tonne of games due to injuries, AFCON and simply being benched and we've been woeful.

Agree0

27 Apr 2026 09:54:03
Interesting stat of the day - without Mo this PL season we're undefeated.

Agree0

26 Apr 2026 09:30:01
Ed001 your thoughts on Woodman in goal.
I would rather him be our number 2 that Mamma.
Thought the ref was wrong not to stop the game yesterday considering he stopped it in the first half when Johnson had a shot fell over and stayed down holding his shoulder stop us breaking.

{Ed001's Note - firstly the game should not have been stopped either time and the team was guilty of amateur hour defending. Every kid is taught to play to the whistle, there is no excuse for them to just stand and watch trying to hold an offside line when there is no keeper.

Woodman seemed ok, better suited to our game than Mamardashvili but it is just one game.}

26 Apr 2026 09:55:32
Woodman had a good game and he'll remember the reception he got for the rest of his career. However, I wouldn't be making him our number 2 on the back of 1 performance.

Also, on yesterday's showing, his kicking is no better than Mama's.

Agree5

26 Apr 2026 10:02:20
Crowd were great with him yesterday. Made him feel 10 feet tall, I'm sure.

I tend to agree, the rest of the Liverpool players should have played to the whistle.

But, it was frustrating in the stadium because of how willing the ref was to stop the game several times before that point for almost no reason (i.e. not a foul or a head injury).

Agree4

26 Apr 2026 10:11:52
Woodman is a very good number 3. Ticks all the boxes, experienced, competent, and, importantly, home grown. Didn't feel the same panic as when Adrian used to step in. Can say that. Made some very good saves, and overall was a calm presence. I'm sure he'd rather have occasional days like that than be kicking around in League One or League Two.

Agree9

26 Apr 2026 10:05:30
Yeah I am with you on the game should not be stopped Ed but when the ref has already done in twice Ed for outfield players can't just change the way your reffing the game.
As for the keeper it is only one game but every time Mamma has played I feel like am back in time and Mignolet is in goal again. Am not sold of Freddie as I've not seen enough of him Ed but I would definitely have him in as backup with the choice of them 2.


Just a relief Ed that we are nearly there for champions league football for next season can't wait till this season is over and hope next season brings better football to watch more than anything been so hard to watch this season struggle to get to good games you can count on one hand this season.

Agree0

{Ed001's Note - the ref is in charge, you play to the whistle, that is on the players allowing the goal to go in. No one tried to close him down even. It is embarrassing, like a bunch of schoolboys who don't know the rules. Your whining about the ref, but he blew the whistle those times, he didn't this time, sorry but players trying to referee the game is a far bigger problem than the ref himself.


I have made it plain what I think of Mamardashvili, should never have been bought, but that does not mean Woodman is the answer. I would defo keep him as 3rd choice though at least and replace Mama.}

26 Apr 2026 11:32:32
I'd love us to bring Khelleher back, we didn't miss Alison as much when we had Khelleher. Maybe we will move for him when Alison eventually leaves.

Agree3

26 Apr 2026 11:42:44
Kelleher isn't good enough to become our new No1. He deputised admirably when he stepped up, but, in my opinion, we should be looking elsewhere when Alisson looks to leave. Also, I'm not anti Mama, like a lot of folk. There are certainly a lot worse back up keepers out there.

Agree6

26 Apr 2026 11:48:42
Ref was correct to play on. We didn't play to the whistle. Stood about watching, our defence knew the keeper was down, whatever is happening, the first thought is to cover the goalkeeper, stop a shot being taken, then see how the keeper is.
We did none of the above.

Agree2

26 Apr 2026 12:02:34
Rome Woody's kick was far better than Mama's, mate. Never seen a problem all match with his kicking. I think you're being a bit harsh on the lad, really. YNWA

Agree3

26 Apr 2026 13:53:13
I'm a harsh git, Albey. A lot of Woodman's kicks out went to a Palace player. As I say, no better than Mama's.

I was chuffed for him, and I would have confidence in him stepping up again, but there is room for improvement in his kicking.



I speak as someone who's played a round of golf with his dad, which is hardly a claim to fame, I know!

Agree1

{Ed025's Note - but did you beat him Rome?..

26 Apr 2026 13:54:01
Keep Alisson for one more season, flip Marmardashvilli, and sign Robin Risser from Lens. Keep Woodman as a 3rd choice, if he is up for it. If Jaros recovers strongly, make him our no2 after Alisson leaves next summer.

Agree1

26 Apr 2026 14:53:42
It's so long ago, Ed025, I can't remember. Given how crap I am, probably not!

Forgive me for sharing a boring story. I played Andy Woodman, Alan Smith, the ex Palace manager, and a mate of mine, making up a foursome. It was a golfing event in Tiverton, as Palace were playing a non league side, who my mate played for. Before we started Alan Smith turned to me and said "do you want that bloke there to carry your clubs? " I said "no, you're alright." That bloke was Stan Collymore. This was way before he went on to beat up Ukrika Jonson.

Agree3

{Ed025's Note - great story Rome..

26 Apr 2026 23:12:20
Can Woodman just be a very good #3 and be recognized for that?

Barely plays, be a great team mate, help Stas do extras, play absolutely when needed.

What's this talk of "oh he did well but he's not a number 2"?

He's a good #3 and is perfect for that role.

Agree0

26 Apr 2026 01:32:13
Ed001, you probably know this stat because I don't, but I don't think I've seen Gakpo win more headers in a single game than today. Just something I noticed and thought I'd share.

{Ed001's Note - this is the problem with stats, most of them are just made up and false. Did he win more headers? I have no idea. Even so, is there context to it? Was he up against players that are particularly weak in the air? Did he have more balls at head height to try and win than normal? And so on and so on. It is just as pointless as xG, which doesn't take into account the position of opponents or what player has the ball at his feet, the two most important things involved in whether it will be scored. Utter trash stat.}

26 Apr 2026 10:04:10
I have to say he played on our side in the second half and he won everything that was kicked up to him, which, when you're trying to play with Wirtz up top, was desperately needed.

Can't remember which Palace player he was up against, though.

He actually had a decent game yesterday, I thought.

Agree3

26 Apr 2026 10:40:22
Navy, he was up against Munoz, who was being rated as one of the best RBs in the league last year. If it wasn't Munoz, then Richards was coming across. A beast of a bloke.

Agree1

26 Apr 2026 11:59:08
Ed, xG has got to be the most overrated stat ever. Nowadays, everybody who's supposed to be an expert in football keeps talking about xG this, xG that like it's some kind of holy grail. Even some managers bring up xG just to justify that they were unlucky to lose or draw. When that happens, you know your team is cooked.

Agree1

{Ed001's Note - I detest it as it is utter nonsense. The position on the pitch a shot is taken from is literally the only thing taken into account, when it is such a small part of it most of the time. There are so many other things, not just the positioning of all other players and who is taking the shot, but also which body part is being used, the speed of the ball etc etc.}

26 Apr 2026 16:24:05
I don't actually understand xG, I must admit.

Agree0

26 Apr 2026 17:27:23
XG is basically a ratio or percentage of high quality chances, so if you have an xG of 1, that should be an indicator that the team should score/scored one goal... Say we lost a game 1-0, but we had a higher xG, the statistician would say, but we had higher xG, so typically we would have won. I hope that makes sense.

Agree1

26 Apr 2026 18:02:32
Thanks MoT! Maybe it's me, but how do you have an xG going into a game? Isn't that a thing too?

Agree0

26 Apr 2026 02:06:47
What a finish by Wirtz.

{Ed078's Note - he was the only one who looked like scoring late on

26 Apr 2026 07:42:13
We'll see a lot more of that if Wirtz is managed like the elite talent he is. The ability is there, and so is the attitude. We'll be a great team if we get our defence/spine sorted and allow Wirtz to wreck the opposition.

Agree6

26 Apr 2026 07:57:46
Morning, all Reds, just watched MOTD there and have to say a couple of things, and that is, if there was ever a case that proves VAR is run by crooks, it was yesterday. In that, the blue half of the city should have had a penalty against West Ham Utd, and 2ndly, just before the West Ham goal from the corner, Pickford again committed a horrendous challenge against Tatt, I believe it was.

Why did VAR not have a look at it? Surely it warranted a check, but nothing. So does that not prove a point. 👍

Agree9

26 Apr 2026 08:11:18
Hunter, so Everton should have had a penalty and also conceded a penalty. Not sure how that proves it's run by crooks, mate.

On a separate note, fair play to Freddie Woodman and his performance yesterday.

Agree5

26 Apr 2026 08:40:07
Yep, an error for both sides warrants corruption accusations for sure. Suggest you look up confirmation bias. 😆

Agree2

26 Apr 2026 08:33:14
True Ed78, then again, its not like the subs were made with the idea of getting another goal.

Agree2

26 Apr 2026 09:29:35
I thought Pickford's challenge looked pretty horrific. Only seen it on MOTD for a brief moment, but it certainly didn't look too good.

Agree3

26 Apr 2026 10:44:44
Pickford is an absolute dipstick. He is reckless and gets away with it. Never forgive him for the brain fart challenge on VVD, and, yes, the West Ham one should have been looked at. He also screamed at the player after it. Total plum of a man.

Agree5

{Ed001's Note - he is a vile player who should have served lengthy bans for deliberately hurting other players. You can't deny it is deliberate when he has done it more than once. Once you do something and it hurts someone, you do it again then it is clearly deliberate as you know what will happen.}

26 Apr 2026 12:11:56
There is no defence for VAR, it has become so bad that people are going to accuse it of cheating. I don't agree with the video picture they put up for off sides, that proves nothing.

From the video picture, you cannot see when the ball was played, and it is easy to put the lines where you want. No one can see what they're doing, so it is open to accusations.
YNWA

Agree1

26 Apr 2026 12:29:03
To be fair ed001 I wouldn't rule out he is just stupid either.

Agree2

{Ed001's Note - stupidity is not an excuse for deliberately injuring player after player.}

26 Apr 2026 12:44:54
I fully agree, Lowe1FC, re/ Wirtz. Anyone thinking he is not good enuff while playing in this shambles of a system is just being lazy or taking pot shots at him for no reason. The technique on that strike alone is all you need to see/know about how great of a talent he is, in spite of the tactical debacle under this manager. I rate him very highly and wouldn't switch him for Cherki.

Live ever.


As for Pickford, I thought he should have been penalised for that reckless challenge on the WH player even tho, he saved the shot. Not only did he do that, he went shouting at the player while he was down and then walking about like he's the man. A truly vile player, indeed.

Agree3

26 Apr 2026 01:43:51
Well deserved after a well fought battle. We haven’t beaten Crystal Palace for 4 games and we haven’t beaten them at Anfield since 2021.

Lads are playing well (yes - they’re not the title winning form before you jerk your knee and rush back to tell me it was just ok and we’re still average).



Link-up play and pressing was good in patches all game. So happy to see that and continuation of fullbacks and wingers linking up more effectively.

8 points clear, one more win and a couple results go our way will tie up CL for next year.

Go you reds, end the season strong.

26 Apr 2026 09:43:08
I appreciate your thoughts, but I thought we were terrible again yesterday. Far too easy to play through, press was crap and created hardly nothing. We had three moments of absolute quality and that was about the sum of it.

Woodman, for a third string and on game one start of the season, did a great job.

And I'm not one to down a decent performance. I was one of the few encouraged by our PSG performance, as I thought the aggression was far better, and although final third was lacking, I thought the rest looked a whole lot better until we tired in the end and they picked us off.

I wasn't singing and dancing, but I saw green shoots for the next Prem games.

Thankfully we got the results against Everton and Crystal Palace, but the performances have been nowhere near an acceptable performance level for me. Nothing is improving so far except the finishing. If they start missing those few chances again, we'll be back losing games in no time. I have to say, I'm Slot out more than ever. There's just no aggression in his style of play, save for a couple of one-offs.

I am with you, Davey. I thought we were awful to watch. The players are having two or three touches of the ball before passing it. Look at Robbo's goal, one-touch passing cut them to pieces and resulted in a great goal.

Another problem for me is, when we go ahead, we try to drop and defend a lot more, and I don't know how many times we have come unstuck and conceded a goal.

The system is not balanced, it is just not right. You cannot play a match at this level where, if you have a chance to score and then they have a chance to score, it is like watching junior football teams. You do not win trophies playing like that, as we have found out this season. YNWA.

Yeah, Davey. Winning while being awful is and has been the stock and trade of this team under this manager this season. Yours and @Albeydered's comments can be copy/pasted to the Everton game and many other games before that.

It is what it is.

Glad we are in the CL for next season, which should have been the barest of bare minimums based on the outlay last summer and that should not protect the manager from the sack his report card richly deserves.

As I said, played well in patches. I guess I'm choosing to recognize that than point out all the bad that goes on.
P.S. It wasn't that bad.

Good win, not a great watch but nice to see the old and new guard all get on the score sheet.
I gave him pelters at Everton so it's only fair that I say I thought Jones was excellent today.

Indeed, Westwood. Our "unc's" VVD, Salah and Robbo have shown they still got it and they can still hurt teams if underestimated in the last 2 games. Hats off to them.

Personally I would sign Munoz from Palace.

He's 29. No thanks.

Sure - if you want to see a tortoise with a man's severed head on its back, walking through the Cavern Quarter.
