That was Steffen’s fault, not Mendy’s.

On his iphone

We’ve changed the side a lot today but this is something which has become more apparent in the past 6-7 weeks.

Teams increasingly are working us out and we don’t know how to score.

In the past couple of months we rarely score in the first half. A lack of a good striker is a big part of this.

Agreed but come on he's got to at least be goal side and challenging for that

Huge save from Steffen, you have to give him that.

Pal, he's been 6 years here, he never scored against the rags. Last year he managed to score one past Scouse.
Give it a rest. 18 out of those goals are when we were 25 up

No-ones disagreeing he's been shite this season. It's your claim that he's always been shite that's total nonsense.

Shite and mediocre are two different things.
I am not saying he was shite, I am saying he was mediocre with very, very small moments of brilliance.

No they're not, they both mean very poor.
Don't try splitting hairs.

Get Gundo and the Algerian Prince and let's save something out of this.

Total shambles embarrassing

by **dave watson's perm** » Sat Apr 17, 2021 5:51 pm

When will he make subs? When we're 3 down?

by **blues2win** » Sat Apr 17, 2021 5:51 pm

Steffens makes up for it. Great save.

by **Dubciteh** » Sat Apr 17, 2021 5:51 pm

So so so bad. Every one of them. We havent laid a glove on them

Sterling just can’t be arsed

by **ruralblue** » Sat Apr 17, 2021 5:51 pm

Get him off the fucking pitch now Pep.

Not even close. Bernardo even shit was a class above Sterling.

Sterling is just mediocre. Always was.

That is unfair. 79 goals in the three previous seasons to this one suggest otherwise. He is a long way off his best this season, that’s a given, but he was never mediocre prior to that

No, pal, the stats don't work with him. Split those in the middle and you would rarely find 15 as winners or in a moment things actually mattered.
He was mediocre and he is mediocre, not even in a million years a world-beater. Raheem is actually a really lucky fella to have the chance to be surrounded by so many valuable players and play at this level.

I am sorry, I want him to be otherwise, I would love any of our players to be that, but let's face the facts and see he will never have moment that will remain up there, forever. His career will always be "an open goal when we are 3-0".
It's time to move on, it will be better for the both sides, imho.

And the other scapegoat Jesus has played his bollox off yet again, quite effectively.
