2nd worse goal difference now !

[DDB220]

Aye but he let Salah turn him and steal a yard in the blink of an eye

[HarryofOz]

Well the effort is there and we've done some good things, but they are a class apart.

Two somewhat unlucky rather than deliberate or reckless penalties but the scoreline does reflect Liverpool's dominance.

[Bongo1874]

Love your optimism Bongo but I feel scared stiff about what may happen tonight....anyway I hope that in the end ourselves and The Toon stay up, wish we had brought 2 or 3 in....its done the Toon a power of good !

1st penalty given is very harsh, 2nd goal is very similar to United 2nd goal.

Why isn't James following the run too easy for matip?

3rd if that's a penalty then i give up with football Ayling has tapped his shoulder and he's went down due to a heavy touch, and var and ref still give it .

[Chilli D]

I really hate this season....

[SG90]

Come on Spurs. We'll let you score 5 if you beat Burnley today.

[Cjay]

3-0 and could be 5 or 6.

Its absolutely awful.
Sorry but the defensive structure of the team is non existent, it isnt brave or admirable now, its stubborn, its clearly not working and w edo nothing.

53 goals conceded.

Everyone highlights the man for man system as a major issue, and we keep using it, time and time again.

At what point does maverick and belief in a system become stubbornness and negligence because this isnt ok.

I know Liverpool are good but they dont have to be, the man to man system actively favours the team with better players.

We are using a system that favours our opposition

And in know it worked last season to a degree, but last season we had momentum, last season we had the surprise factor, last season we had no fans, it was totally different.

I am so sick of conceding 3,4,5 goals and then some fans praising Bielsa for belief in a system.

If i played poker with other peoples money and kept my eyes shut the whole game would people praise me for belief in my system if after winning a few hands i lost everyting?

End of rant

Bring on Joffy and Bate because why not

[SG90]

2nd worse goal difference now !

And still got to face Citeh, Arsenal, Chelsea and Spurs

[Ellandbach]

It pains me to say this but surely he has to go. No other club would put up with the repeated demoralising hammerings. We're a laughing stock. Predictably predicable. We're not even losing well. I could take it if we were offering some competition but I've never been so embarrassed by the team I love. It's genuinely shocking just how clueless we are. I feel so sorry for the players. They look lost. It's not their fault that some aren't up to the job and that some aren't getting the service they deserve. That's for the manager to fix by bringing in new players when he has the chance and by getting rid of the players who OBVIOUSLY aren't up to the job. If he honestly thought that there wasn't better out there than what we have then that's proof alone that he's out of time.

[SG90]

Why is Radz hiding on Twitter?

[Scoobychief]

Spurs struggling for goals but will find it easy against us. Makes me mad.

[velo]

James should have got a pen and Allison off

dubious 2nd pen

Top 6 get away with murder again

Why am I surprised

[DDB220]

I think the Roberts shout is a possibility for Klich who is miles off the pace. His second touch is generally a tackle.
