We’re missing a proper number 9. We had one in Origi who managed to win us a couple of points in the last couple of season in tight games like tonight. We didnt trouble the goalkeeper enough... Coutinho was too far away from goal. It was one of the worst games I’ve seen from Mane. Firmino and Salah were decent but they weren’t enough.

 

You have not seen Origis miss in his last game?

We miss Moreno bigtime.  No surprise how our form has dropped since he hasnt played.  His runs behind oppisiotn defenders create so much space for our otehr attackers.

 

Robertson is basically the Henderson of leftbacks.  

 

Robertson hasn't shit his pants at the back yet and has had very little game time this season.

He will never be as dangerous going forward . We knew that ,

Midfield is and always is the problem.

 

Henderson, Can and Gini offer fuck all.

 

All too sloooooooooooooow on the ball, can never get the ball out of their feet quick enough to move the ball on and never offer a fast incisive pass forwards. Either sideways or backwards time and time again.

 

All are fucking useless against teams that just sit back as they offer fuck all.

 

Why not try Woodburn or Grujic? Start Chamberlain?

This post is officially the end of Sturridge.

It was obvious from a long way out that we were going to struggle against a Pardew team yet again. Mane is stinking the place out and giving Coutinho the captains armband was a bit of a sick joke as he stunk too. Games like this still need a good old fashioned British number 9 who gives as good as he takes.

We tried that with Crouch and Carroll, and refs just dished out yellows to them. We can’t play the shite at their own game, it’s not a level playing field.

 

We need to dive more in these games. Sad but true. Barca are masters at it, go to ground as soon as the oppo get too close.

Or just tough a tough number 9 who could take it like Torres or Suarez.

The midfield is genuinely more of an impediment than a help in these types of games. They're all so useless that we could be playing with 6 up front and the result would still be the same.

 

Gini and Can didnt do much wrong did they tonight? Our attackers weren’t firing...

They were both absolute fucking shite. All Can could do was give up cheap free kicks and Wijnaldum is so useless it's like playing with 10 men anytime he's on the pitch. Karius probably had more touches of the ball than him.
