Just have a go you mugs

[G Richards]

Missed the first half lads, how have we played so far?

 

Not bad, not great. Pressing was there. Final pass in the last third usually lacking. Mignolet made a couple of good saves. One with a strong left hand, another commanding claim for a cross. Defensively decent. 

 

We got the all important goal from a nice header by Lallana coming in for a Clyne cross. Mane unlucky not to score our second as he hit the post. 

 

We've started the second half brightly...

[Joe Strummer]

We are playing well but the final ball is awful.

[Jairzinho]

The British Markovic coming on.

[Arl arse]

We are playing well but the final ball is awful.

'Twas always this.

[Guest]

Much higher pace to the performance now. Hopefully goal two coming soon...

[G Richards]

Stanley Devastating about to enter the fray. 

[Jennings]

Mane working hard but its not coming off for him.

Much better bobby

[Arl arse]

Bobby's much, much better playing centrally.

[stringvest]

Wijnaldum needs a longer stud.

[Boss]

Linesman is a cunt, that was onside.

[stringvest]

Bobby's much, much better playing centrally.

 

he is, but we knew that already.

[G Richards]

No problem mate. 

 

As for the colour of the jerseys, I'm convinced we'd get a few more marginal offside decisions in our favour if they weren't so gaudy. 

 

Close one not give just then. I'm convinced the eye is so drawn to the luminous stabilo marker that the linesman can't help but put his flag up. 

[Anubis]

Great goal!!!!

[The Golden Eel]

Fucking yes

[Chairman Meow]

Lovely stuff. 

[moof]

[Anubis]

Superb pass and move. Should at least get us the draw.

[Jairzinho]

Cut them to ribbons.

[El Rojo]

That's lovely stuff. Well in Big Div and Big Adam.

[Arl arse]

Get in Origi lad. 5 in 5. Not bad at all.

[PestiRed]

Lovely move
