Watching this, it is on the whole, pretty pathetic again.

The mad thing is, though, that although this side is fucking awful, it wouldn't really require huge investment to improve the side considerably.

Centre back, left back, midfielder - they don't need to cost 10m each, in fact, you could probably get all three for a total of 10m, but they absolutely must be experienced heads, more kids is going to achieve nothing.

If Lerner can't sanction that kind of expenditure or strain on the wage bill, then he doesn't deserve to own a top flight club, frankly, and pretty soon, he won't.

You just know what would happen if it were us holding onto this lead.

Yeah, but when was the last time we won the game or equalised in the last minute?

Think it's time to agree and start getting out heads around that we will go down. Nothing to even give a glimpse
Of hope

I did trust in Lambo. He was my first choice - but it hasn't worked. Whether it's all his fault or not, the club's short term future of staying up is the main priority. If he can't do it, find someone that will.

Any suggestions?

Can't think of many who would do a worse job..

I am asking for someone who will do a better job.

For a big bloke, Benteke sure does go down easily.

Agree but can we get hold of them in the next couple of weeks and can they hit the ground running

Instead of aiming for Benteke to knock the ball across goal at set pieces, why don't we aim for him more in the centre so he can head at goal???? He's won more headers than any player in the league.

I actually think Delph has been one of the less shit for us today.
