Decent call. I stream games and Mc-bore is the pundit - just turned off the sound. Will change at half time.

Had high hopes for Andreas when he was in the lower squads but in the first team his performances have looked poor or mediocre at best. He seems to have failed to get a grip of his game and he drifts in and out of matches. Jesse had a moment when he looked like a half decent player but he never...

Some of our players looked unable play even against such poor opponents. Bruno is very adaptable, he has already descended to our level of pathetic free kicks. Their goal was a joke, another moment of bizarre defending. Our goal was even funnier. The rest was a classic of Europa mediocrity. So...

Big Ron had run out of ideas. He had a lot of good players but many had become regulars without much competition for places. We had seen some great performances. SAF arrived as Ron’s squad began to fail and age. Old favourites were in decline and others were in the serious drinking club. The...

Needs a re-profile. Came with speed and shooting - defences know how to block and channel him. Needs to find a different style and variety to create opportunities again. Biggest problem is burn out - he looks shattered and plays like someone whose legs have given out - may well profit most from...

This morning the happy clappy bollox crowd tried to stifle criticism of our transfer policy by suggesting this was a great window when clearly even an idiot could see its way inadequate. And so it proved today. At best it was an anti-climax match. Bruno had a decent debut and showed his...

Bit of an anti-climax in the end.

Bruno isn’t enough, we need at least 3 more players especially when Martial disappears. Defence is also very iffy and James needs re-profiling.

We are poor from front to back. If Wolves were more daring they would be in the lead. We have low confidence and some players are base line at best.

Interesting squad - Mata and Bruno could pose a decent threat. Looking forward to this game.

Waste of time. The club only listens to the fans when the fans are on the same page as the club. Always was and has never changed. In the past we were even told our opinions were irrelevant. All a walk out means to the club is: they get the money and the Fans left early.

It’s always been like this. For example I remember when Jordan and McQueen arrived and everyone immediately thought we would win the league. We signed Robbo on the pitch and fans took bets to win the league! I‘ve paid my dues with two STs in the Stretty for 40 years and being a supporter since...

Because the eternal campaign against the Scousers has always been fundamentally about psychology. Whether it was Shanks trying to wind up Bobby or Eric playing them off the pitch everyone knew we must be above, better and challenging them at every level. Even when we were crap in the 70s/80s we...

If I recall they were stop gaps in already reasonably large Fergie squads. Ole released forwards in the summer and bought more defenders. We heaped pressure on the existing forwards and bought James. The outcome by January was a side that struggled at home against Burnley and floundered...

I would have preferred an immediate replacement strategy for the players we released in the summer. Wasn’t it after the defeat at Everton that Ole told us better players were lining up to join us?
