    We carry all kinds of passengers at the club. Thiago hardly played for two seasons and was one of the top earners. We carry more than most do.


    Thiago was a vital player in our push for the quadruple. He was in the PFA Team Of The Year. 
     

    He was injured last season and was let go. 
     

    Matip & Ox were injured a lot and got let go. 

    Unfortunately players will always get injured, we need to be better with managing them. 
     

    Being injured is a completely different injured to Nunez who isn’t producing enough.

    Not going to happen, maybe just some kind of protest in or outside the grounds but the only real hope is them losing the court case 


    A protest would just be reported as sour grapes. “Nobody protested when Liverpool won the league and bought all the best players every season”.

     

    As you’ve said, the only hope is them losing a significant amount of the 115 charges and being hit incredibly hard. 
     

     

    Funny with this loan thing they might have pissed off some of the clubs who were witnesses in their defence. Hopefully everyone rounds on them, no doubt they’ll call the league racist and that they are the real victims in all this again, Martin Samual will write an article saying as much.

    This is separate from the 115 charges. So what does it mean in relation to them? anything?


    Separate. 
     

    They were partially hoping to use this to prove “the rules weren’t fit for purpose hence why we broke them”… I’m not sure what any of this means.

    A promising start, definitely some things to work on. IMO…

     

    1) The way we become sloppy when the intensity drops. I’m sure there is a better phrase to describe it, unfortunately I can only think of Rodgers comment of “resting with the he ball”. I get this isn’t a new problem, we had similar issues with Klopp when we weren’t playing at full throttle, we’d drop the pace and become overly casual with the ball and give it away. 

     

    I assume this is more a mentality thing than the quality of the players. 
     

    2) We don’t seem to have many attacking patterns of play, feels like we’re relying on the quality of the players more than having specific drills we’re following. I was expecting a bit like Man City, loads of passes, work it into a low cross / cut back position, back post tap in. 
     

    3) I think this is linked to point 1 & 2, we aren’t keeping the ball for long periods in the final third. City partially do that because it’s a defensive action as well, we’re still feel a bit basketbally, however the set up of the 2 holding players stops us being countered on as much. 

    Maybe 2 & 3 are my expectations being wrong. Either way, I think they are things to improve on the training ground. 


     

    Overall, it couldn’t have gone much better and if lessons have been learnt for the rest of the season, I’d rather get a bad result out the way early. Feels we’re in a good place for more challenging tests before Xmas.

    Subservience 3/10.

     

    A particularly bad actor brings in Megan Fox as a robot house maid when his wife gets ill. The robot Fox develops feelings and then tries to kill the family.

     

    Absolutely rubbish. The points are for how smoking hot Fox looks and a reasonably graphic sex scene.
