Sky and their presenters can fuck off!
They like nothing more than putting in the boot on us.

Sky and their presenters can fuck off!
They like nothing more than putting in the boot on us.
He's right though. There's no courage in our play, some of them hiding from the ball

JPB basically saying what we all know that the squad quality is where the work is required.
Adam Crafton appears to be the long lost love child of Iraola!
I’ll give you that. Brighton was decent at times. West Ham away was one of those games we should have went and put a statement out and got the confidence up and go get 5 or 6 but we settled for 3 and never tried to score after Micky scored.
I can see a few issues with this, firstly as you say, no top level coach is going to be up for this, so you're already choosing from a lower standard, secondly, if they're there as some sort of apprenticeship to level up, then they've been learning from the guy you've chosen to sack should it come to the situation that they may step up. That point then leads on to reception from the fans, this person would be viewed as part of the problem in the first place, so why would fans be any happier with this hypothetical person taking over?
It seems as though this was kind of attempted with Mason on numerous coaching staffs, and he got a ton of flack, online at least, for being a Levy plant.
I don’t care! He can still fuck off!
I call that the Poch special, so many times whilst we were genuinely outstanding I was hoping for a rout and we just stepped off the gas and settled.
In the present it would have been a really good opportunity to build some more confidence and develop a rhythm, I can see the logic in preserving ourselves for a busy fixture list, but it's frustrating as a fan who wants to enjoy the now.
Way too much sh!t being spouted about Frank at the present time.
Fair, I don't disagree that we for some reason seem to be their whipping boys but we can't actually argue with his assessment though can we?!? It was a terrible terrible performance and one that will live long in memory of fans.
Who’s going to play those passes though?
We don’t have footballers, we have runners and athletes.
These were all things me and my mate were talking about during the game. The players are fucking cowards, I’m sorry but throughout that no matter the tactics they are hiding from the ball. If a couple of idiots in the stands can see it, carragher can see it, then you know Frank can. It’s why I’ve been slagging them off since the match. They don’t have the bottle for it for whatever reason. Fucking soft cunts. I was hoping it will be different tonight when I’ve got to trek to the stadium but I’m thinking it will be more of the same. We’ve got a real problem lads.
I know people don’t like Carragher but him and his analysts are the best on tv at this.
He is absolutely correct in everything hes saying here.
Just bring poch back next summer and put up with Frank this season. That's the solution imo.
I'm not an idiot in the stands (respect to you), I'm an idiot who sits on the sofa watching all our games live and I agree with you.
The only answer I can think of is because our back line and mid-field are all to aware that we don't have a decent target man/men making the right movement for them to hit/find and our wide men rarely beats their man.
This makes the mid-field ponderous on the ball, this then sees them getting closed down to easily, which more often than not sees us losing possession or them passing backwards, which make them look like bottlers.
And the long ball is hit in hope we win it or the second ball from it and someone? gets on the end of it!
Just my theory!
He's right about Palhinha, who should be used more wisely because he's not a good footballer in possession. It's all very well trying to make the team difficult to score against but we need to be able to progress the ball forward.
Maybe when Bissouma is back fit we can see if he's going to be better at that, maybe he and Gray.
Carragher is another one who likes sticking the boot in on us along with his pal redknapp. Would sky allow someone like dawson on MNF disect liverpools pisspoor play recently losing 4 in a row. Reality is sky allow the pundits to diss us on tv along with that low IQ prick merson.
