  1. These games were just a bonus for me. I would have bit your hand off for us to be competitive. However, we've managed to get ourselves in a really good position, then threw it away. I have the sense of deja vu.
  2. Just started to put pressure on them... What is Tavernier doing? What is McGregor doing?
  3. There is some lovely combination play on the right, between Jack, Tavernier, Arfield and Morelos.
  4. I don't think there's too much Gerrard can do about players not being able to pass -- other than replace every one of them!
  5. We're sloppy, but it's also so slow. It takes Goldson half and hour to pass it to McAuley.
  6. From the initial line-up, I thought we were playing a 4-4-2 Diamond, with Middleton beside Morelos, but we're not playing that at all. Arfield is just playing wide in the normal formation. It's working well: there's a solidity to it. We're really sloppy in possession, though.
  7. Yes, with Arfield dropping into Coulibaly's position; Grezda out wide.
  8. His performances may have dipped recently, but I don't think, at least on the pitch, it warrants an early termination of his loan. Maybe he's struggling to cope with the demands? Strange considering he's a Liverpool player.
  9. We might be able to get Davis on the cheap: I doubt he was ever in Hasenhuttl’s plans, going by the high-energy, high-pressing game he employed at Leipsig. Another Centre-half? I don't think it's needed, but then again, we'll need options next season -- McAuley at almost 40, Worral away, and Katic down the pecking order.
  10. I've not seen anything of Dowell. I've been saying as much about Davis since he's been linked. I can still see him playing as a 10 for us, with more defensive players behind as the legs.
  11. How can you be absolutely certain about Eaves, yet think Sadiq deserves a chance? I'm as optimistic as you can get when it comes to players, any player, but Sadiq is brutal; the boy's a donkey. (He played in the Semi because Morelos and Lafferty were unavailable. There was literally no one else.)
  12. I think that's a better way of looking at it than rejecting the guy outright because he hasn't score many and because he's playing in a certain league. He may not be the answer, but I agree that option is certainly needed.
  13. Eaves doesn't inspire much confidence, but looking at him as a replacement for Sadiq -- big, tall target-man, who can actually bloody play -- then it is perhaps not meant to be the title-winning striker we want but merely a different option. Morelos is first-choice, and he [the management] clearly wants a tall target-man to add options. The lad seems to be scoring well just now, and would give us another option. I think Davis would be a good addition. We're short of genuine creativity in midfield.
  14. I thought Halliday played like Guardiola instructs Walker or Delph at Man City to play (I'm not suggesting he's as good as either of those). Halliday played inside, almost midfield, which allowed us to retain possession very easily -- and it also allowed Middleton to isolate his Full-back. When Barasic came on he played like a traditional Full-back, which clogged up that lane.
  15. We deserved nothing, and got nothing. Saying that, we did have a perfectly good goal chopped off. That doesn't excuse the performance, though.
  16. We just wasted the last 30 seconds trying to cross it!? Game over. 1-1. Brutal.
  17. Dundee corner in the last minute. You knows what's happening.
  18. Ejaria has just ran himself into trouble, while Barasic still waits out wide in acres of space... he's still waiting.
  19. We have just ran the ball out of play three times on the bounce. I'm speechless.
