Another example of how important the right manager is. Under Gerrard he looked like he was a championship level player. Under Unai he’s the best player on a pitch with so called £100m plus players. Along with Mings and Dougie, we have been saved the loss of £150m worth of players by finally sacking Gerrard before he got rid to bring in some cloggers. Thank McGrath for intervening.

Absolutely right. And he’s been superb since the scouse fraud left. We’d probably have lost him for peanuts if Gerrard wasn’t sacked.

Exactly! no red/blue line i could’ve sworn he was offside

It was 2-2?

McGinn brilliant again

Why the **** they celebrating like they won the champions league?

Exactly the vibes I’m getting

Shit team.

The mind boggles

Exactly this we’re top 3 since Emery took over and our players have been used properly. But no, it’s not good enough. We should have bought that Bruno before Newcastle got him.. now THATs a world class player!

Absolutely correct. £13m for an international footballer is a very modest fee. I wasn’t suggesting that we should be spending £30m on back ups. I was merely stating a fact. A bit like the fact that 8,9,10 positions have never spent £30m on a player. You can make things sound better or worse with the words you use. ’3 out of the top 10 have never spent £30m on a player’. True. Every single team that is in the top 7 has spent at least £30m on a player. Also True. All 7 teams have £25m+ pound players on their bench. 5 of the 7 have £50m plus players on their bench. (I haven’t fact checked this, but I think it’s true)

I thought he was referring to the Dendoncker fee. I see he meant the £30m but 6 out of the top 7 do have £30m+ back ups

Err… which three teams would that be?

But the point is that you take the good with the bad. On balance, he has a huge hand in our upturn in form. For every misplaced pass, there is also him leading the charge to win the ball back. Every single player should be applauded for their contribution to this unbelievable run, but there’s constant criticism of him. ’oh we need to upgrade him’ every game. There is not one player in our team that couldn’t be upgraded ‘for where we want to be’. Except Martinez.

Yh. but Buendia and Dendoncker are shit you know.

2 more goals and I win my 3-0 win bet

Naaaah. They need to come get it. we’re winning

My biggest gripe about the ‘big 6’ has always been their inclusion. Nothing big about them. Mediocre club that somehow managed to get a purple patch during the most lucrative period in history. The luck of timing.

Go on Deano!

Yh I know what’s been reported, but I’m calling bullshit

I don’t care what anyone says, there is 0 chance he’s on 100k a week.

No I do get that, we have our own ‘characters’ on here. But the voices of reason when it came to Deano were few and far between. I’m not saying he was great for you, he clearly wasn’t. But I think your fans have too high an expectation of what is achievable with your resources. Farke did an absolutely incredible job getting you up, playing superb football. You were never going to get a better manager than him. Sacking him shouldn’t even have been a consideration.

Don’t go on Twitter. I went on pink un forums.

To be fair, the decision at that point would have been to play for about £35k per week, or not to play but get £100k per week. im obviously guessing at those figures. but to be honest, I think we’ve done pretty well out of that deal. I can’t imagine him getting in ahead of any of our midfielders at the moment.
