Can we buy him back?Might be time to look back on the Trippier thread see who wanted him gone?
We could easily have won 3-0.
Yep-they could have scored but we could have scored. It's not like Newcastle when we created no chances.The fact that our goalkeeper had such a great game strongly suggests that we couldn't. Teams that are capable of winning 3-0 don't fall asleep and rely on the goalkeeper to keep them in the game.
I'm sorry but if you are going to use terms like 'should have' and 'deserved better' to somehow cushion the blow of a result then you are simply fooling yourself that fate has lent a hand and you have been 'unlucky'.Did you just watch the Arse game on MOTD? They should have won. They didn't.
At the end of the season the table does not lie. But today we deserved better.
Not surprisingly Dele and Eriksen the worst players on the pitch followed by Aurier and then Rose.Liverpool win but Spurs player rated man of the match
How you rated the players in the Premier League match between Liverpool and Tottenham.www.bbc.com
Or, he was always overrated due to his goal tally and was actually never that good to begin with. I know which one I believe it to be. And the beauty of my take is you can actually mitigate the problem. He's not good, never was good, never was a MF from day 1 even though he gets put there, and isn't going to get better/come good/get back to the old Dele. He is the old Dele, just without the goals. So you recognize that as an organization and recruit a player on top of him. He moves to the bench and actually learns his craft or fades away.Sadly I think Dele is finished
Injuries and being rushed back too soon by our incompetent medical team have ruined him
We will be mid table this season. We have to face it. But come on let’s give it all at he cup and in Europe. Try to take something out of this season
And Colchester !The FA Cup is luck of the draw and us avoiding the big guns.

TBH it's sad to see Dele in this position but I think his bank balance is the main problem, he's made it. The improved contract last October doubled his income to £4.5m a year plus his modelling career. He used to be aggressive and nasty on the pitch, nutmegs which we all loved, where is all that gone! He no longer takes football seriously.
Well I’m glad they didn’t win.As for the Woolwich who gives a fuck anyway.
I disagree. Aurier clearly tried to stop making contact, while Mané felt the lightest of touches and dived.1000% pen.
Every ref and every VAR gives it.
Aurier is a fecking liability.
His trucker hat line is his priorityNot surprisingly Dele and Eriksen the worst players on the pitch followed by Aurier and then Rose.

I always remember the golfer Gary Player saying "It's funny but the more I practice the luckier I get" and those are wise words.
The team currently has big problems and to allocate a percentage of that to 'could' and 'should' is only masking the truth. We currently have 12 points, how many do you think we actually could, should or deserve to have ?.
As you quite rightly say the end of the season table does not lie but if we don't identify our shortcomings full in the face instead of feeling sorry for ourselves then it may well make for very sad reading.
As for the Woolwich who gives a fuck anyway.
