Because they don't play to serve a useless player tap ins to try to justify a 50 m purchase price. Just look at the tap ins that he scored and say one premier league forward who would miss them. Even Werner scores ta ins when given the chance. Problem is BJ is so poor that he can rarely ever create a tap win for the guy on the opposite side. All tap ins come from the left and ends up for BJ because of his position. No magic about it.

This is ridiculous analysis, I asked you if tap ins were so easy why isn't everyone else doing it and all you've done is offered a critique of Brennan Johnson's game.

Being a tap in merchant and having a poor all round game isn't mutually exclusive, anticipation and ghosting into the box is a skill as well, if it was so easy then you'd see literally every footballer do the same thing...you don't.

And no Werner does not score tap ins, have you actually watched him play? Lmao

Yeah, he actually scored a tap in. 100% conversion rate from 2 yards. Have you missed that?
And he has served tap ins for BJ. But without critical thinking, you may come to the conclusion that when werner bursts forward to create a tap in for BJ from a yard out, it's actually BJ who deserves credit for being on the scoresheet. That's actually ridiculous. As if tapping in from one yard in an open goal is as hard as beating your man and then placing it perfectly for tapping in, a chance even a player as poor as BJ can complete.

I doesn't don't even know what you're talking about now.

You said that anyone can score tap ins and now you're rambling some incoherent crap, sorry.

Well, it's not excused. We have a poor quality squad.

Bergvall, Spence, Grey, Udogie, Tel are young and inexperienced and not at the level required. 1 or 2 of them playing with an experienced group is fine, but half your starting 11 as kids is suicide.

Johnson, Solanke, Davies, Vicario are below average players.

The only decent players in our squad Romero, Son, VDV, Porro, Kulu didn't start.

Years of failed transfer business has led to this.
 
15 goals - the most Liverpool has scored against any side in a season

I see the fat self-aggrandising clown has set yet another record

I hope the club make a trophy with all these records engraved on it and present it to him on the day of his sacking

Mason's mates. You can do a lot of things as a coach but you can't just play your mates and pretend its a meritocracy.

The fact you are including Kulu in the quality section is laughable, medicore at best for the past 6 months or longer.
 
Without doubt the worst manager in the Premiership this year and possibly ever. Even limited managers would know to set up more defensively against teams like Liverpool, but this buffoon only knows one way of playing and needs everyone to know it. We must be the easiest team to prepare for every week, as everyone knows how we will play and how to expose the limitations of our setup. Sick of him and though I thought I could not detest Levy any more, his failure to sack this mule has proved that wrong also.
 
I honestly think if we won the Europa Ange would happily walk away and stick his fingers up to us and say "I told you so" , without a backward glance or a thought of how bad our league form was .

Then he would mention it in every interview for the rest of his life .
 
I was a fan when Ange came on board , like I am with any manager . But the last few months I have become very frustrated with his stubbornness , especially the defensive side of our game which IMO is quite an easy fix .

Anyway half way through last year my wife found and bought my Xmas present thinking that it would be a great prezzie . So I got the prezzie at Xmas and I thought OK that's alright , but as the season has gone on since Xmas and things have regressed and my ire at Ange has increased I have looked at my prezzie with , more and more resentment .

It was a copy of a book called "Angeball".

Simply can't bring myself to read it , and my wife has asked a couple of times when I was going to read it as I always have a book on the go .

I have finally told her I don't think I'll be able to read it , she understood .

I told her though I thought the present she got me for our first Xmas together was a better present , that was a hammer .

Oh there is definitely some weird game of brinksmanship going on right now between Levy and Ange where one wants to have their hands washed totally of him, discredited by their own hands, and the other is desperate to retain their ego-image of themselves as a revolutionary manager on a legendary success arc. If Ange is sacked before being properly eliminated from EL, or if he actually wins the EL, we'd never, ever hear the end of it.

"I never got a chance to properly show my winning talents- the club is toxic and never backed me properly." // "I won them their only recent trophy- the club is dysfunctional and cursed."

Well the one thing he might be right with is the club is toxic , or beginning to get that way . The level of Anti levy sentiment is as high as I can remember and that cannot be good for a club , we seen what happened with Newcastle and Ashley , great to watch from the outside but very different when it is your club .
Personally I despise Levy , simply for having the ability and means too really make this club great again and choosing not to , because there is no way not investing isn't a choice .
The choice of next manager to how he backs him to prove to supporters that he truly wants to win is going to be interesting , because if those things becomes negatives then toxic it will become .
