That’s the problem…I predicted that the ball would hit his arse or something and go in. He should never actually try and shoot. They need to just blindfold him, spin him around a few times and push him onto the pitch. He’d score more than he does currently.

Thought Long did ok today. Obviously he’s highly unlikely to score but he had a pretty good game. Ings, Romeu, Stephens and Bednarek (despite struggling to contain Antonio) also played ok and MC Car thief made two excellent saves in the second half. Otherwise we were garbage.

I thought it was poor today but Cedric had one of his better games, positive and tons of energy. Djenepo was not involved 1st half but much better 2nd. Redmond was again not great but it says a lot about our team, with Djenepo worse and no Boufal, that I was surprised he went off at HT 
Ings was very unlucky. PEH was trash

West Ham deserved it, we had more of the ball but less telling quality, we’re going down.
I see our problem very simply… but then again I know fuck all about football… but seems to me we have a lot of the squad who are cyclically inconsistent… eg they all seem to cycle through good and bad games. Like biorhythms, when they all get synched up, we have a couple of good games… when they re all down we get gubbed 7-0, but mostly we have a few play well, few play average, and some bad… we lose…
The more consistently good payers are more spondoolies than we tend to pay… unless you get lucky with a Mane or van Dijk or two…
Rightly booed off at half time, no imagination, flair, urgency or fight, long balls up to Ings and Long with no running support from midfield, too many stupid mistakes. For ages we’ve been crying out for a 4-4-2 formation when playing at home but we still insist on knocking it around the back 4 for a couple of minutes before either giving it away or making an impotent foray down one of the flanks - so utterly predictable.
I’d rather not see Redmond play in the next game, he was less than useless today providing zero attacking threat and rightly subbed off at the break. Hojbjerg had a nightmare today, very sloppy in midfield and too negative.
West Ham’s goal getting ruled out was the highlight for me but we were very lucky, Antonio is a fucking beast and thought it was a very good goal. I’m not sure if the players realised that Haller’s goal wasn’t ruled out by VAR, as for 80 minutes of the game they seemed to be so casual in their approach when we actually needed to be throwing the kitchen sink at them.
McCarthy, Romeu, Ings and Long are the only ones to save some face as far as I’m concerned, McCarthy for a few moments of quality and the other three for putting in a fucking shift. Fuck me I need some beers.

Sums it up very well, in few words.
Maybe, maybe not.
Being shit doesn’t really decide it. Norwich and Watford look down(read their more thoughtful fans comments), so it’s between us and quite a few others for the final spot.
Maybe Ings will be our new MLT and we’ll go back to glorified days of just hoping it’s in our own hands on the last day.
This is the reality of returning to the Dell days/spirit.
No problem, it’s what the majority of us remember.

Just looked at the watford forum, this op had me howling 
Ah, Liverpool. The gift that keeps on giving.
Or are they?
Sure, their city is an embarrassment. Putting up an art establishment or two around the council estates, bogs and tips which make up the majority of the city; luring unsuspecting tourists in so the locals can loot and plunder from their cars like hyenas on a buffalo corpse.
And sure, the city will continue to be the laughing stock of the UK for quite some time. With their infamous overbites and comedians nobody else can understand, let alone find funny, the place the UK left behind seems as far away from leafy Hertfordshire as its possible to be.
However, after years of spraying ‘this’ll be our year’ along with their usual moans and spittle, football is finally bringing a ray of sunshine to their dark, cold days and nights since the mines/ factories and unions shut their doors.
After years of sitting along in foreign hotel bars, stinking of BO and shouting at anyone who will listen how Liverpool are the best team in the ’hcchol worlghhh’ (sic) and are simply unlucky, they may finally win a deserved trophy for the first time in a generation.
The mastermind of their recent success is Jurgen Klopp, aka George Clogg, a Kermit the Frog-looking clownlike figure, who plays up to the camera like a petulant teenager in a classroom desperate for attention.
That’s not to take anything away from his effectiveness. His route one, Boothroyd-esque hoofball is remarkably effective.
Go long - chase, go long - chase.
Other teams simply cannot keep up with the 90 (+6) minute goals they consistently sneak in off the backside of a league one cloggers like Milner, Henderson or the Ox; the latter named for his massive turning circle and inability to say his own name.
Given Liverpool’s vast lead in the Premier League this season however, it looks like George will finally stop being the bridesmaid, and finally get to be the bride.
Danger men: Liverpool’s front three is dangerous at converting the loose hoofs, whilst Van “Sean” Dyche is an incredible defender, who would have won the ballon d’or if he played for a big club like Real Madrid, Barcelona or Man Utd.

Watford? Leafy Hertfordshire? People like to casually knock Liverpool but this City has had more tory hatred and ideology thrown at it than most Cities, and still they won’t bow to the tory cunts, to be applauded, the teams aren’t for me but the City is, pisses all over most in the UK.
The person who wrote that sounds like a typical southern tory cunt to be honest, I bet he washes his car on a Sunday, fucks once a month and wanks over Baywatch on the sly when its on.

In retrospect, I find it appalling.
Not one single, solitary use of the phrase “bin-dippers”, ffs. Lazy, uninformed parody which has no place on a sophisticated board like this one. I’m sorry I posted it.

But I have watched all of our wins as well on dodgy streams, so don’t blame or burn me just yet.
However if my attendance at Villa Park produces the expected draw then the decision may have to be reconsidered 
I shall be accompanied by Chris Rann and my son Ian, so hopefully they can deflect some of the losing vibes away!!
