Both Carragher and Souness are as much a pair of tossers though. They all deserve each other. But how Gary didn't at least try and nut one of them I'll never know. Nothing worse than people laughing at you, but to do it on TV to such a massive audience...

How's that work then?
Just flood the midfield and leave it to the CMs and wingers to cover that space when in peril?
They were ganging up and sniggering. Like you say a studio full of tossers. I detest everything about Jamie Carragher. Despise the guy with a passion. Wasn't even that good of a player truth be told.
He's an absolute pussy; that's why..... Even as a younger man in his playing days he had the likes of Keane to doing the tough stuff on his behalf.
My money would be on Souness fucking him up even at his ripe age.
Fuck him! ...Neville is a complete weasel!
He had a good couple of years for Liverpool as a centre-back, but before that, as a right-back, he was pretty shit. Not to mention him gobbing over someone etc.
Kind of was, you said:
Depending on our subjective interpretations of "relative success" - mine doesn't have to involve trophies - there are a few coaches I'd happily see here, even if they ultimately fail, because at least I could at least buy into the "ethos" or the intention of ethos and the thought process behind the appointment.
There's actually quite a few I'd take a punt on ahead of Nuno, headed by people like Ten Hag, Arne Slot, Graham Potter, Roberto De Zerbi (and his replacement at Sassuolo Alessio Dionisi is looking interesting), Ralf Rangnick. Even though I know they are flawed I'd rather have people like Sarri, Peter Bosz, Lucien Favre, maybe even Hassenhuttl here than Nuno, at least they have a clear idea of what they want and it's closer to what I personally like than the vagaries of Nuno's mehness.
For me right now, even if we aren't hitting targets, I'd just rather have a coach who I believe might get us there, or at least enjoy the failure more than I am or will under Nuno.
Again, I accept you can't please all the people (as that beautiful man Bill Hicks said), I'm talking personal view here.
Talk of Howe or Benitez is just silly bollocks.
kinda.
He plays a kind of 3331 with the ball, then someone shuffles into the FB zone without the ball - high risk and requires the tactical discipline and energy - which it doesn't always get. Against a forward line of Mabppe, Neymar and Messi it's a ballsy.
....Oh what the fuck was Fuente doing there
Marseille have brought on the Dieng-anator
Saliba's looked well iffy at times lately, but that was a great tackle on Mbappe
What happened exactly?
Probably why Keane wasn’t there today, although that would have been entertaining…
He was going on a rant about where he thought United's issues were and Souness was basically completely disagreeing, and Carragher was backing him up. But after a while they both burst out laughing, which also made the presenter along with Defoe start laughing too. Neville must have felt about in inch tall. He tried to keep it together but you could easily tell that he was close to bursting a few blood vessels. He also called them a pair of jokers or something.
Not a lot of goal mouth action but Marseille/PSG was very watchable. Making PSG play with at least one player less should be mandatory - like when we were in school and you always evened out the sides if there were odd numbers by making the better team have one less.
I know.... You just mis-interpretted the question.... No harm done.
Exploring the concept of what would constitute our 'Tuchel' scenario.
Lampard was sacked and Tuchel won the CL; what would be our comparative success if extrapolating that scenario?
...Tuchel plays pretty miserable football and most discontents don't want that. When you say "Ethos"... Are we talking about something that amounts to something other than prettier football?
It's seemingly the case that Potter & Ten Haag aren't on the menu and that Rangnick has twitter-fails on his record (like Gatuso) which allegedly ruled him out in the summer, but ta for throwing some more names out.... Believe it or not; it wasn't a loaded question....
Genuine curiosity what people seek to tangibly achieve by sacking Nuno.....
I guess this explains a little further as per "ethos" (see my comments above). Ta.
Sure..... I can believe the above take of you and a few others, but I don't buy the majority being pacified by 8th-10th place, no cups and slightly prettier football.
Certainly is.
"It's just a ride..." ;o]
He's a big problem! But also whoever has most of the say in regards to their transfers is too. Doesn't matter who you sign and how good they are when you have Matic, McTominay and Fred as your defensive midfielders, and Wan-Bissaka at right-back.
They’re a bit of a mess from top to bottom
The new Wan-Bissake take is funny....
Their lot were bitching about him not making the Euros squad back in May cos he was 'the best defensive FB in Europe' (tm)...... Now he's one of their villains D'jour.
Shaw was absolute gash today (not for the first time this season)...... Wonder if that's the end of his purple patch........? I wonder if they'll be calling him Shaw-berto Carlos much longer....?
"Best Defense in Europe" was the hot take in the summer from their fans and a few of their media plants.
...Now it's anyone but Ole's fault that they're shipping 5 goals at home.
[insert circus music]
