Is there some reason we will never play on Saturday ever again it seems? When the heck did we play on Saturday last time..

I don't get how people can complain about soft free kicks when we got Grealish on the team winning a botload of them. Braindead rookie mistakes from Target and Luiz costing us game but Saints have been superior team so far.

But our B team so good. Beat Bristol's b-team so easily. Lansbury bomb squad. El Ghazi and Nakamba sold to Turkey for whatever we can get. Davis converted into DM.

Nyland, Taylor, Hause, Wesley, Hourihane and Davis shouldn't be on this list though.

Dwight Gayle scored 46 goals in the past 2 seasons he played in Championship. How many goals have Keinan Davis scored to date?? What is this forums obsession with mediocre (at best) players just because they are from our academy. Anyway, I'll have to say Gayle would be the perfect companion to a player like Wesley. We need someone agile and pacey. It's what we lack. Whether it's Gayle, or someone in his mold, doesn't really matter. But Gayle has proven to be capable of scoring 20 goals in Championship..

Trezeguet trying to outpace anyone is a hilarious sight every time.

Wesley is always one or two steps behind where he should be.

Nakamba aint no CM. And not every CDM can be a Kante.

Our fanbase. 5 minutes ago: Oh my gawd 2-0 down this game is OVER **** this gonna go back to sleep waste of time Now: OMGDSAHDAHADFAFDDAFDASFDKCKXAP

Worse than us based on what? Anyway I think with the way the league is unfolding so far, this year might be the year where you truly need to reach 40 points for safety making things much harder

Needs to improve his passing, especially just after winning the ball. You can't just be giving away the ball after winning it heroically. If he improves on that we have a world class DM in our side.

Well yes our entire tactics are to defend deep and hit them on the counter. Of course we would have chances when Liverpool is pressing their entire team.. not sure how it's related to my post at all though I'm not criticizing Dean Smith entire plan of this game. In fact he got it spot on mostly. We have played extremely well. You seem to take criticism of Dean lack of strategy in how to keep the ball instead of hoofing it personally for some unknown reason. But if you're entirely happy that for 4th time ( Totenham, Everton, Arsenal and Liverpool) same scenario has played out. Literally EXACTLY same (except we scraped a win vs Everton). Then you'll be happy no matter what I think. Criticizing lack of ability to keep the ball and hoofing should be banned I guess

You can't expect our players to maintain fitness when all they do is defend deep and run around chasing players. This is exactly why all the top sides beat us eventually.

You said soaking up pressure for entirety of 2nd half is fantastic football. So yea, I don't think your opinion has any value for what it's wroth. Sam Allardyce tactics truly the peak of football. Fantastic.

Oof. Yea that's exactly what my post said. Facetious much. I guess if we had Pep over here we would have hoofballed that in same manner yea? And it's not even about Pep but having some kind of strategy to combat what we have seen so far against Totenham..Arsenal..Everton (had great chances to equalize many times) and now Liverpool. Except we don't. We play exactly the same. So you either admit our players suck quite a bit ( which doesn't seem to be the case when we are pretty competent until 2nd halves), or put some blame on the coach and his tactics.

He has zero tactics on how to defend a lead against teams that will press you hard. And obviously we have limited players but you can't tell me Luiz, McCgin or Nakamba are incapable of few passess and keeping the ball. If all you do is hoofball, the end result will always be us loosing.

Love his energy, but the amount of times he got the ball back in our half and just started running forward for no reason without even giving it a thought to lose it few seconds later and bring us under pressure again was just silly. Not sure whether to blame the coaching or him.

They aren't coached in a style of football to know how to keep possession under pressure. Therefore they just panic and boot the ball out. I don't blame them Dean Smith is no Guardiola. It's just a predictable ending that will continue to happen over and over again.

You can't hoof ball for entirety of 2nd half and expect to come with a result. Spurs, Arsenal and now Liverpool. We have some quality in midfield, I don't understand why we go into hoofball mode immediately against the top sides. It's down to the coach and tactics.

I've never seen more dead match than this. It feels like a game with mates coming to end yet we still play even though no one has energy to run anymore.

Our lion is iconic. We should not put the name of our team below the logo. The brand should speak by itself.

How did we bottle it? They are completely outplaying us with 10 men for past 30mins.. And this is not first time this happens. This is all down to Smith.

Grealish is so lackadaisical with so many of his touches its infuriating

Bro, I’m Straight Up Not Having A Good Time
