Really like Jurgen and believe he is the best manager for us but it really is not good enough. I am sick of excuses over and over again. Once again we are teetering on the brink of having a really good team. But equally we could go the other way and just have a team that gets good results against the shite teams like Maribor and collapses against teams like Sevilla. People say it is the defence or no leaders on the pitch but you simply should not be losing a 3 goal lead. Sevilla should have been crapping themselves that we would put another 3 pass them in the second half and give them no chances in the game, Instead we still invited them on to us. Nearly every one of their offsides the ref and lino gave where were our defenders with their arms in the air shouting for offside? Game management Jurgen look it up.

We were playing brilliant counter attacking football in that first half. The second half we should have closed that game out. At times we had 2 or 3 players around a Sevilla player on the floor but somehow the Sevilla player managed to play the ball to a white shirt. How does that happen? There is no way we should have conceeded 3 goals in 45 minutes. We conceeded two goals in 9 minutes again. You just cannot do that in top football as all the impetus is then with your opponents but how many times have we seen Liverpool do exactly that? I have seen some comments from people saying they would have took a 3-3 before kick off. Really? After our last 3 results of scoring 10 and conceeding 1? Jurgen and his coaches need to look at their lack of game management.

Yeah but in the wrong game.

You did not expect the ref tonight to spot that did you?

I do not agree the defence reverted to type only Moreno turned shit at the start of the second half. The problem was none of the midfield or front players held the ball up and it went straight to a Sevilla player. Lets not forget they were chucking themselves to the floor and the ref gave them loads of fouls all game. Look at Morenos challenge for the pen the Sevilla player takes 2 steps before going down. It does not help when Firmino and Mane do little flicks and backheels to no one when they should be holding on to the ball.

Not sure about that. Bobby didnt hold the ball up, Mane blaze badly over late on, Can took too long to cross that ball Wijnaldum faded badly Oxlaide Chamberlain should have been on earlier. Apart from Moreno and his poor decisioning, Lovren Klaven Gomez and Karius all had good games. The timing of Jurgens changes was piss poor if I am honest.

Well I am sorry but Jurgen has thrown that away by not subbing moreno off earlier. The same as in Basle, Moreno let his spanish chums in, first with a stupid foul when the player is running away from goal then giving the penalty away. Absolutely shocking.

None of them would want to play us I bet.

We look quite awesome. Thought this ref was supposed to be quite good but he has let them get away with wearing our shirts at corners. He has given them some soft fouls as well. Be nice to keep a clean sheet tonight. Very good touch by Karius as well to get that ball on to the post. Think that ballboy wanted to take the throw for Gomez as well.

Still not keen on this playing Karius in these games. Fingers and toes crossed he has a good game.

I am sure Palace fans will be overjoyed at this news. So the FA can acknowledge this simulation and ban a player but not order the game replayed? What is the point if Palace get relegated by 1 point or Everton avoid relegation by 1 point?

Not seeing any news of this but it will be more than disappointing if right. Did we have any trouble in Moscow and Maribor?

Having a ball that changes direction several times in flight makes it harder.

Seeing as Mo tends to miss with his right I do not think it is something we should hold against Moreno. He had a very solid game today.

Listening to his radio interview on 5 Live or whatever it is called now, said the same thing, hes gone and hes been told hes gone, at about 5,30 today.

Good result, 3 goals, 2 beauties for Salah and 1 for Coutinho. Eejit next to me keeps calling him cortinoh like he is a Ford or something. Nice to keep a clean sheet with TAA, Moreno, Klavan and Lovren all having good games. Lovren seems to concentrate more against Southampton, is it because of the boos they give him? Nice to see Jurgen take players off once we went 3 up. Mignolet looked like he should be working on a motorway or the bins with that outfit.

Oh dear, that sounds a recipe for disaster.

When did they move the technical area to the other side of the ground?

Hopefully nothing really serious but you would imagine it was not a simple cold or muscle pull and the club doctor probably referred him. Was he a heavy smoker at one time?

One of my old haunts, the Dockers Club on Townsend Lane. It fills quite quick as they can get about 50, 60 cars on tenner a time. Unless you want to park miles from the ground you are not going to avoid getting stuck in traffic.

Seeing lots of comments from people that this is a done deal between club and country but I do not think so. If it was part of the agreement there would be none of this stuff about feeling an old injury, they would just say he was not required like Egypt did with Mo. Very concerned he is injured again.

He said that on the plane to Barcelona which had been arranged before the Bournemouth game, I read.

Thought that was a given?

Just read a piece by Lallana from the book about Klopp. Says when Klopp is angry he says I wish I could speak in fucking German to you. Still do not think the point is lost though.

Smells of one last big pay cheque. No thanks.
