[Anubis]

In all fairness, that was a good save from Milner to turn it around the post.

Complete liability strikes again.  This is what happens when you hand out contracts on nostalgia.

Commented on this when we extended Lallanas contract cause he was good for the dressing room . Certainly wasn’t for his performances on the pitch. Pretty sure it was Klopps call that time as well .

[Anubis]

Playing a bit better now.

[John102]

I'll take 2-0 if it means we win the league again. No sniggering at the back.

Fucking take him off now for fuck sake

 

He's just warming up!

 

Leave the young lad alone.

Yellow card for Milner!

 

Said it at the weekend, this is a season too far for him. Its mind blowing that we are starting him in a game like this!

Last season was too far.  We’d have won the league without all the horrendous performances that he was front and centre of but sure who wants to improve when you can have a circle jerk over 2nd.

Who's the one that handballed it Milner

He makes an effort. Unlike the brainless "chess player". 

[ManéMan]

Diaz's crossing/passing is shite

[Red Shift]

Got Neil Mellor on commentary

He'd be better on the pitch.

The ways he's playing I'd rather he didn't.

It’s the same call he’s always had to make.  Not getting money to replace them, better retain them.

 

Who the fuck would even be playing if Milner wasn’t destroying his legacy the last few years.

We're an old side now with too many of the players in the same ageing age range. These drop off's often happen suddenly.

Trents doing my fucking head in already 11 mins in, Get Glen Johnson back.

[Strontium]

Milner has been awful but I don't blame him. He shouldn't be starting matches, let alone one of this importance. I blame the people who have left us half a dozen players short of a competitive squad. 

[Leyton388]

Why the fuck is Salah playing so wide and deep this season? Absolutely mind blowing. 

[Lee909]

Here comes another pen

[Strontium]

They're gonna get another pen here.

[Anubis]

Fuck Ozzy Man, it’s not a head injury.

[ManéMan]

Passing to each other is a proper challenge these days

[Daisy]

Osimhen, why the fuck didn't we buy him instead of the useless sack of shit we ended up with

The answer like it is to most of our problems is..

...the midfield....

[J-V]

Osimhen is a bit good

[DJLJ]

Another pen there. 

[chrisbonnie]

Fucking hell. We're getting battered
