I think he was an upgrade on Mendy but according to one or 2 on here , he should be nowhere near the first team...they have the same opinion on Foden being well behind every other senior player.

Madness at its peak.


He shamed a few Sunday, tough time with no help from anyone, and even then close to getting a goal, Fair play he was brilliant 2nd half. Better than Stones.In Ederson Laporte,De Bruyne we have the best, around them we have some work to-do. Hard to take but the scousers have an edge over us, we need to sort out. A lot of flakey lads.

I can honestly say I don’t know enough about him to judge previously but what I’ve seen so far I’ve liked.
Tracking back is overrated.

I've avoided all media since our loss and will continue to do so as soon the jizzing over the scum comes to a halt. it's been refreshing although still sore from our loss. Once the dust settles, on reflection, the cons and positives are:

- when our injured players are back, we are more than capable putting a long run of wins
- the players should be motivated after this defeat, I hope they feel hurt by it
- the vermin's have been riding their luck, there is a long way to go, wait until they start playing ever 24 hours, injuries and form takes a dip, 2 defeats on the bounce and it's game on as long as we pick up the wins when they falter
- the pressure is in them to hold out, to start celebrating at this stage is premature, football can change instantly, we should not throw the towel, we been there and done it, yes it bloody hurts now, but we have to see the bigger picture
- pep needs to stop over complicating formations and head back to basics, we didn't need the 3 points against the filth, I would have been happy with 1
- time to play youth, some of the senior players need to pull their finger out or fuck off in the summer, if we falter and end up finishing top 4, this a good time to bed in youth ready for next season's assault
- I look forward to penetrating the filth in the return fixture, hopefully we'll have full fit squad and crush them
- it's never a good omen to use all your luck at start of the season, we seem to use ours just at the right time, those fuckers will never learn lol.

Angelino was indeed very good after a somewhat nervy start. Probably the best out of the back 4.

I know the defense was a bit of a mess, but I still think it was our big players that let us down. What's up with KdB, Bernardoz Gundogan and Agüero? That noone of our attacking players could be bothered to track Fabinho for the first goal still makes me livid.

Gundo was the one with the shit clearance right to Fabinho and then Rodri made a half arsed attempt to close the shot down but then turned his back like a 5 year old. Imagine De Jong charging that ball down. It was embarrassing.

And KdB was still in the Liverpool half, despite being stood next to Fabinho when the counter started.

I'm glad someone else noticed that, I couldn't for the life of me understand what Rodri was at there, weird bended run, showed him the goal.

I love Tintin, but he hasn't reached his usual level so far this season. And seeing him not giving a 100% when we play the bindippers really got on my nerves.

De Bruyne has created many gilt edged scoring opportunities that the likes of Aguero, Sterling and Jesus have squandered, especially in the Liverpool game - he can’t do everything

So if someone doesn't play at 100% that's okay? Even when we're losing.

Mase I see where your going with this, I just think elite players see the ref fuck us over, players missing we concede two shite goals in 15 mins,again two full backs doing us with a switch of play again !!!!!!!!!!!!

KDB looking around at our wasteful ability to miss chances and we miss bags full even when we win 4/5/6 he must think FFS what the fuck. I also think we have flakey fuckers who when it is put on them they get found out, we need players who can cope KDB can. it is like Dortmund going to Bayern they get mullered 0-4 pretty much every-time.Even when in great form it is an arse kicking Players have a mental block at the shithole

Agreed mate. But if that was Sanè sulking because he'd put chances on a plate for people, some of our fans would be foaming at the mouth. No one deserves a pass when we lose. Look at Aguero as well. Our best striker ever, but at Anfield every time he goes missing. He doesn't deserve a pass either.

I am starting to think Sane has an edge we need, not the rabbits in the headlights. He went to his old club cool as a cucumber top corner and calmly takes a bow. Walker charges about but could not pass wind and gets done back post, 10 yrs on Angelino who is singled out !

Just seen Aguero's stats for Anfield. 601 minutes 0 goals. Embarrassing.

Didn't look to me like Kev was sulking. He might not have tracked back once but he created chance after chance.
We're not dropping points through not having Sane, we've outscored everyone again. We're dropping points through VAR and shocking defending. Unfortunately Stones/ Otto whilst looking good with Laporte look shocking without him and of all the games we needed Ederson, Sunday was the one.

You don't think Sanè would have made a difference against Wolves and Norwich where we were just trying the same thing over and over? Bringing him off the bench completely changed the game at Old Trafford last season for example.

He's completely different to anyone in our squad. He's direct. He scares the shit out of teams. Imagine him coming off the bench in the 70th minute and attacking a team that's just defended for 70 minutes. Completely changes the game.

Tosh Mase, read what Wooders wrote and digest it.

How many chances must these three up front screw up ?

Having said that Kun was desperately unlucky on Sunday , he came close several times to scoring- which Razza never looked like making .
