Or he’s not that great!

Forest have been on top.  Davis isn’t doing enough, moving around to call for the ball.  He’s had a couple of nice touches, a couple of poor touches but generally just plodded around upfront.  Now if he’s unfit, fair enough, get him off and bring the other striker on.  If he’s ok and that’s how he’s playing then he needs to move more and help because they are on top.  How anybody thinks he’s a PL striker I’ll never know.

Hasn't he not long come back from an injury? They obviously rate him to be playing him when he's not fully fit.

I'm sure I read that Gerrard said he was carrying a knee injury. Maybe relating to the nerve by his knee that nearly kept him out of the Burnley match?

I only watched the 2nd half but I didn't know he was on the pitch til he tried to win the ball back by the corner flag in injury time. 

He's only 6ft tall though so is he really the sort of player we need?

Ending 14th will cost us in the transfer market. We'll never know exactly how but the millions in lost revenue and visually for potential signings. 

I don't think the difference of a few places and 6/7 million quid is going to make a huge amount of difference in the grand scheme of things.

Why?

We said the same about ollie ans look whats happened this year. We need two quality players in each position.  Cash has been generally good this year but defensively wan bassaka is a lot better

We aren't going to go out and spend the amount of money Wan Bissaka would cost on a player to rotate with Cash. We're not Man City.

We still need two quality specialist players for each position

We're not in a position to go and blow £30-£40mil on someone like Wan Bissaka though as a rotation player. You're our resident scout apparently so I'm sure you have plenty of players you could recommend to the club.

If wan bassaka is available id love him here. He is a absolutely brilliantly defender. He might not be the best at  going forward. But defensively he is outstanding 

Sure RB is one of the positions we don't need to upgrade on this summer?

He’s costing us the game!

He made a mistake. He's human.

Diaby is an excellent player, previously tipped by me so he is obviously good  

having so many in the position he plays in now is a problem for us as we play a different formation now unfortunately and we would have to sell at least trez/aeg and Traore to go and buy him

You really should try and get into football scouting cause you clearly think you're amazing at spotting players.

This would need us to lose to Burnley, and Southampton to beat Liverpool.

Southampton would have to beat Liverpool AND Leicester. 

Started today and subbed off after 63 minutes.

Possibly one to move on this summer?

Someone said on here Archer is back from his loan. If true he should be given decent minutes by Gerrard in the remaining games to see what he can do.

Watkins works hard on the press as does Ings but both are simply not clinical enough in front of goal to get Villa where they should be next season so no surprise on the links to Suarez if Gerrard is truly interested.

Archer isn't allowed to play for us even though he's back from his loan.

They have parachute payments - amd you would imagine some players will be sold. If they want to come back up they nedd to invest in their defence as its been absolutely shocking, as shown today

Norwich don't spend huge sums on players when they're in the Premier League let alone in the Championship. There's not a chance they pay upwards of £20 million on Konsa, no way whatsoever.

I don't think he will be here next season.  I wouldnt be suprised if norwich come in for him in the summer 

You really think Norwich will pay the amount we would want for him when they have been relegated to the Championship? Not a chance.

Looking at the table since Gerrard arrived we're 9th I think which isn't too bad. I think he's earned the right to start assembling his own squad now.

Just now, Demitri_C said:

Stop waffling - note the other comments about that defending from konsa it was awful and we were lucky

Just an observation. Yes you weren't the only one commenting on Konsa but not everyone else has been moaning about practically everything in the first half. Anyway, apologies for the comment, just found it amusing.

Just now, Demitri_C said:

Drwadful defending. How they didnt score there

2-0 up and you are still hilariously negative.

What a miss thats gotta be 1-1

You're that far behind you may as well be watching the last match

Shit. Gerrard is clueless.

Not gonna lie i meant more what formation are we playing tbh 

So what's the general consensus on today's formation?
