He doesn't get into the box even nearly enough. Last night proved that he can be effective when he does. Brendan should just be telling him to get in the box at every opportunity, we'll improve straight away from an attacking sense.

Managers are judged on results. In fairness neither results or performances have been up to scratch so far this season. If the results and performances continue, he'll start feeling the pressure. It's the same for every manager at every club. I actually thought second half we played quite well, and it was probably our best half of football since the Tottenham game.

It's not really "easier said than done" in any way, shape or form. It's fucking simple to set a team up to be more defensive. The trouble comes from the manager's stubbornness to change. Right now plan a isn't working. We are piss easy to score against. Last night should have been two banks of four, to frustrate the fuck out of Madrid, and use Sterling and Coutinho to try and nick a goal on the break. Rodger's naivety exposed by a top coach.

Isn't that what our fucking "scouting dept" are supposed to be doing? You know, finding the likes of Berahino et al before we have to pay someone 4 times his value.....We are shite in the transfer market.

His cameo was one of the few bright spots yesterday. Hopefully he gets back to what he was showing when he first came to the club. If he can, he's potentially world class.

Enrique has some decent attributes. He's quick, strong and has a good touch. He let's himself down by being thick as fuck. Shame.

True. He's the polar opposite of the type of player/personality I thought Brendan wanted at the club. I'll probably get slated for saying it, but I can't stand him. By January I'll hate his fucking guts.

Borini is far more suited to our system. Saying that, a fucking mannequin would be more suited to our system.

He's absolutely shite. A good defender doesn't keep getting caught the wrong side of an attacker time and time again. He's woeful, and we've been bent over paying anywhere near £20 million for him.

From the little I've seen of him, the only way you could realistically use him or his limited attributes would be as a target man. Trouble is he seems averse to getting in the box. Stupid fucking signing.

We'll probably twat them.

His worst performance today. He wasn't on his own.

Sterling

I'd play Borini ahead of him every week. Balotelli offers fuck all. Borini has decent movement, and will run all day.

Hiding would work. Until January when we can fuck him off.

Stupid,stupid signing. Deflecting from some other stupid,stupid signings. Yes Dejan, I am referring to you.

It stank of desperation in August, even more so now. He's not only shite,but brainless as well.

Fucking hell

Couldn't agree more.

Someone should be hung for sanctioning a 20 million pound deal for Lovren.

That's wonderful.

Flanno

I think playing Sterling further forward would be an option if Balotelli and Sturridge didn't work. He's got the pace, energy and movement we've been missing. It's definitely an option, would it work? Who knows?

Coutinho was bought to compliment how we play offensively. If the attack isn't functioning how it should, or at least how the manager would want it to, someone like Coutinho is going to struggle. Most of Coutinho's game is about quick incisive passing. He can hardly do that if there is nobody offering themselves or no movement ahead of him can he?
