The damage was done in the first leg. But, tonight was worse, for me. To score so early, then have a huff and very little puff for the rest of the first half was shite. But, that second half was absolutely insipid shite. Absolutely no width in the team again. Atalanta tightened up in the second half, but we still insisted on trying to play through the middle of them. That’s when we bothered trying. That period of play around the 80th minute when we seemed to spend ages just passing the ball around between Alisson, the two CBs and Mac Allister was mind boggling. We were playing like a team who were involved in a fixed World Cup qualifier. Not looking to score, not looking to concede. It’s almost as if they forgot that we needed to score 2 more to stay in. That showed a lack of ideas too. Why when we’ve got two big lads up top in Nunez and Danns didn’t we go a bit more direct and try and pick up second balls or win free kicks higher up the pitch? It was awful. The tempo. The attitude. The ownership. The lack of risk. Going through the motions stuff. The tactics. The lot of it. Utter pish. Klopp has given us some of our greatest nights in Europe. So, it’s sad to see his final European campaign ending in such an un-Klopp like performance. To be blunt, he was tactically outclassed by Gasperini over the two legs.

This witch has surely got to be taking the piss?

You’ve got to laugh at the City fans keeping the ball from a missed penalty and then ending up putting off their own player so he missed. Hilarious. Let’s hope City get another half hour of extra time at the weekend too.

So, as it stands, we appear to be at this position? People actively defending a racist tweet = not racist. People not noticing or not condemning a distasteful post = racists. It’s good to know that they’re the rules going forward.

Was just going to post about the girl shot in the head. They're just some of the most depraved scum to have ever graced the earth.

Just watched the highlights of tonight’s game. Pickford is absolutely woeful. The kicking error aside, he should probably do better for every goal apart from the penalty. Looks a bit out of position for the first. Palms the ball right out into the danger area for the second. He should make sure that his dive for the Jackson goal (4th?) covers the post. It doesn’t and the ball creeps in. He probably deserves the least criticism for the Gilchrist goal as he was just left unchallenged to bring the ball under control and shoot but the ball does seem to just go through Pickford a bit too easily. He’s massively overrated, for me.

Are we being talked about?

Let’s be honest, Carlton Palmer could probably get a hat trick against this Everton side.

Somebody got “cleansed” on Countdown today. I'm disappointed that we’re yet to see a Photoshop of Countdown Katie Hopkins standing next to this spelt out but with the word “ethnically” added to it .

The victims of this tragic disaster are often just listed as names. But, the link below hammers home how many lives were devastatingly changed by what happened. They weren’t just 97 people. They were other people’s brothers, sisters, fathers, mothers, sons, daughters, partners, spouses, friends, colleagues or the lad who’d carry the local old lady’s shopping home for her. And, it was 97 lost opportunities. 97 people who all had hopes, dreams, desires, ambitions and aspirations. The link hammers that home too. Particularly with the younger victims. They were just starting out on the journey of life - starting apprenticeships, college courses or going to university. They all seemed like decent, honest, hardworking, educated and ambitious people. Good eggs. Which make the calculated efforts to smear them as violent, drunken hooligans all the more galling and anger inducing. Something which sadly persists in the here and now. All victims of one of the biggest miscarriages of justice that that this country has ever seen. May they all never be forgotten and may they all rest in peace. https://www.theguardian.com/football/ng-interactive/2024/apr/15/hillsborough-disaster-the-97-people-whose-lives-were-cut-short

Israel. If they don’t blow your limbs off with sophisticated weapons, they’ll let them rot off through torture and neglect instead.

There is a Hamas tunnel under the Mersey, to be fair.
