Vesper

I would have MUCH preferred a complete swap out team draw/loss v PAOK (it was AWAY as well) and this game a pikey face-smash blowout. We could have easily overcome a PAOK draw or loss away and moved on in the EL. 2 points in EPL are PRECIOUS given the state of our competitors.

Full stop disagree mate, he was horrid today, sorry, and I am one of his biggest FANS, in fact, I almost changed out favourite player from AC to Jorgi, as AC is getting the Luiz/Conte treatment (almost)

I picked Kepa as MOTM, as at least we kept a clean sheet and he had a decent game, a few crucial saves. Barkley 2nd (would have easily been MOTM IF his shot had gone in) Someone picked JORGINHO NO CLUE what game they just watched!! LOL Easily his worst showing since joining.

Extraordinarily poor player/bench/sub management by Sarri, and it has set us up for big trouble dead ahead. had nothing to do with Luiz even, lolol. Our MF is burnt out already, Alonso looked gassed. NO CLUE why Cesc wasn't used, same for Barkley (should have started) Hell, I would have not minded giving Moses a go at RW (as Pedro was out) Moses ALWAYS brings energy at least, Willian was shit, is shit, will be shit Jorginho should have been rested, and put Kante back at his normal (old) DMF destroyer role Play wide ball, feeding Giroud with 20 crosses This game is the PERFECT example of all my rantings about transfers, sales, and bench decisions (add in starting issues too, today) I do NOT type for my health, I have clear foresight on this shit

Lipstick on a pig, at least we didn't lose (we should have, Yarmolenko so fucked up a sitter)

Rudiger, until injured, Kepa, and then Barkley cameo were only remotely oki performances, all the rest (Cahill I will admit made no mistakes) were VERY POOR.

blääääääääääääääääääääääää if we play like this versus LPool, we are soo soo soo fucked

Not the point. Options should have been there. I see no point to Cahill even being on the bench, as, like you said, he is gone soon. A minor quibble hopefully though compared to rest.

I gotta say, this has been (all round) Sarri's first poor game so far, he got bench, starters, tactics all wrong, sorry, I call it like I see it

we are sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo lucky with that miss

Why the fuck was AC not on the bench? OR Amps. FFS!!

Dog help us, Cahill and Luiz as our CB's, SMDH

SHIT, Rudi hurt!!!

No service for shit to Giroud, need wide crosses

Rudiger is a beast, but a bad play by Luiz yet again forced that. So tired of saying this.

Willian's passing has been atrocious all game. TBH, whole team has been way off. i HATE sloppy passing along CB's ball watching/bad positioning the most.

This game SO shows why we need to BUY BAILEY in January, sod the cost at this point, we can fund thru sales!!! I would bring Pedro and Barkley in at HT. Also, if we had him, CHO for Eden at 60, 65 minutes (we need a fresh Eden for the scousers), BUT CHO, again, is not even on the bloody bench, grrrr

Wilian, Alonso, and Hazard are slowing play down way too much in final third. So is Kova and Kante.

One of the first times in ages I can say he looks tired.

Great summary. Fully agree. Lack of rotation appears to be catching up fatigue wise. Scouser cunts dead ahead on shit rest. Eeeeeek!

Drinkwater is perfect Noble upgrade for the pikey twats.

Whole squad looks tired. We dodged a bullet with no Arnautovic.

You forgot my post. Telles and Gaya are more than likely off the table. Telles is only 25, so not too old yet, even I am not that harsh (plus vanity, as I am 26 so not doing to call a 25 yo too old!! LOLOL) Bad news now. I just was digging around and José Gayà's new release clause was raised to 100m euro when he signed a new 5 year contract. So there is a huge previous option now we have to take off the table for LB's. Also, get ready to pull the other best actually available option. Alex Telles. He is on verge of signing new 5 year deal with a reported 75m euro release clause. Porto turned down 40m euro from Bayern (they already have Alaba at LB FFS!!! Greedy cunts!) at the end of the window 3 weeks ago. Those were by far my 2 best options (along with the probably too expensive Sessegnon), as even IF Juve finally did agree to sell us Alex Sandro in the summer, he is probably too old now. I don't think we should pay £70m or so for a LB that we on get a season and a half out of before he turns 30. Remember there are only TWO superb LB's on planet over 28. Marcelo who turns 31 in May and is slowing down to point RM want Alonso for replacement, and Jordi Alba, who turns 30 in March. With Gaya and (grrrr) Telles off the table, it's down to a pretty small number of acceptable level replacements. Manure is not going to sell Shaw. TBH, I would take a healthy, pre-injury level Emerson over any of these except Sessegnon. But, is THAT Emerson ever going to emerge again? I am really getting worried. Also we need to try out Baba one final time. In order (and none of these are easy pulls, all factors taken in, Firpo is probably best shot, as the first 3 will be so hard): 1. Ryan Sessegnon (IF we would use him as a left back, he is by far the best option, albeit will be crazy expensive) 2. Alejandro Grimaldo - Benfica (so many big clubs want him, our odds are poor) 3. Wendell - Bayer Leverkusen (was a beast last night in the EL) BTW, it fucking sucks that Bayer has SO many players I drool over! Bailey, Havertz, Henrichs (gone now), Wendell, Tah, Retsos, 18yo Paulinho, (a probable superstar LW), Lucas Alario (striker option not discussed a lot), and Brandt. 4. Júnior Firpo - Real Betis (new addition, been watching him for 2 years, he is ready to play EPL ball, Shitty want him badly) 5. Layvin Kurzawa - PSG 6. Raphaël Guerreiro - Borussia Dortmund 7. Dalbert - Inter Milan 8. Theo Hernández - Real Madrid 9. Ferland Mendy - Lyon 10. Kieran Tierney - Celtic 11. Marcelo Saracchi - RB Leipzig 12. Aarón Martín - Mainz 13. Borna Sosa - Stuttgart 14. Hamza Mendyl - Schalke 15. Jorge - Porto 16. Toni Lato - Valencia
