Oh Buoy

Time to get back to basics and focus on the league. Could potentially be a blessing in disguise.

Ah well.

Game fucking on.

45 minutes to enjoy this Champions League feeling. Soak it up lads, winters coming.

Jesus.

Looking at our back four, I just can't believe its not butter.

Oops.

Heart in mouth whenever we need to defend.

Fucking hell Raheem.

Gashi is gash.

Not to jinx him, but no major errors from Lovern just yet.

What kind of a name is Gashi.

Boss that, Skrtel.

Horrific starting XI.

Paco isn't bringing in the wins. Leicester doesn't count.

The sheer thought of AVB, his persistent use of a high-line is enough to give anyone nightmares.

Nice being the key word there, Russ.

I say keep him. Get a better replacement, use him as a back up. Put Jones out of his misery.

Bingo.

Some good points here. I think he'll show a lot more pragmatism going forward and repeat the hard corner we faced last season. With those deserving to keep/establish their place in the team could really give us the confidence we need in both attacking, and defending play. For me, the introduction of Lovern (although largely disliked) later in the game takes him out of the firing line but still keeps his game awareness up (well.... as up as it can be). Once his confidence resumes, I think we'll start seeing more solidity with Toure and Skrtel with Lovern interchanging when necessary and probably starting against Bournemouth. And hey, on another note, who'd have thought a team with both Gerrard and Lucas in could work?

Bumnugget.

Quilt.

His mistakes make our back line a nervous wreck. You could see Leicesters goal coming before they somehow missed an open goal.
