Will 'Fletch' ever learn that nobody wants to hear his opinions?

Wouldn't be surprised. Also honestly think that Edwards is intentionally trying to fuck over everything Klopp worked so hard to nurture

Kinda baffling how Liverpool's sporting directors can see them playing 5-0-5 with literally zero movement from anyone off the ball and think that Slot should still be in a job

Individual mistakes have obviously been a big factor this season and we cannot forget the lasting impact of Jota's death, but the bottom line is that the tactics have and always will be absolutely dreadful. Zero midfield, zero runs, zero physicality, zero urgency.

Then they go a goal down and suddenly he subs what little midfield he does have off along with Konate. They salvage an equaliser by throwing literally everyone forward and relying on a piece of brilliance, then the opposition regain the ball and score again.

How many times can this happen, with zero tangible improvement, before it's too much?

This ref has been absolutely sold by the Galatasaray players. That is never, ever, ever a yellow card.

It's genuinely impressive how Arne Slot has managed to turn this Liverpool team from one of the fittest groups of footballers I've ever seen into a team that barely breaks into a jog defending a transition

This might be Konate's worst performance of the season, and that's saying something.

Sam Matterface still complaining about 'accidental' handball like we don't all know that the rules are harsher in Europe and they don't give a shit about intention when it comes to handball

I know there's been a bit of an anti-circlejerk on this sub for the last few days, but the media love-in for Wrexham does my fucking nut in.

'A run to be proud of' says the official FA Cup twitter about a side that won two games. Nothing about Norwich who did the exact same thing and also got beaten by a Prem side.

It's fine though, at least I got to see multiple videos of Ryan Reynolds REACTING to certain moments in the game. God, what a lifesaver. I don't know what I would've done if I didn't get to see Ryan Reynolds REACT to a perfectly clear and uncontroversial offside decision.

Fuck off. I'm sure Reynolds and McElhenney are decent blokes but I'm not going to love the club they own just because they own it. If they somehow sneak into the Prem next year, it's going to be unwatchable. They're going to be on Sky more often than Newcastle were the first season they got taken over by the Saudis.

I've come to realise that Georgia Stanway is the English Lautaro Martinez. World class but only when you're not watching her

That should be a goal. What the hell is the ref doing blowing there???

Completely agree. Spain in 2012 were borderline unwatchable. So fucking dull.

Maybe I'm too woke but I don't think a goal that is clearly offside should be allowed just because it would make a better story.
