Did he just ask if that was an iconic cheer, rather than ironic? I have the volume low.

HT 2-0. We look like we have a lot of goals in us. We also still look vulnerable at the back.

Was living in Dublin last year, kicking myself I couldn't  make it back for this game.

Living in Dublin today and couldn't make it either.

It's in danger of becoming a bit... well, Liverpool. Anyway, I've said my piece. Folk can do what they like.

Yep, that's exactly how I fear that this is going.

Agreed.

Remember the days when we looked like we'd never score. We're losing our boing tag!

The problem with crosses doesn't look any closer to being sorted. I'll still like to see a last minute bid for an experienced centre half to play instead of Vlaar.

They've changed the battery on the camera. By the sounds of it they should have changed the battery on his mic - can't hear him now. What a relief!

Maybe Okore is the answer. I've only seen him play 1 game (against Chavski) and he looked decent. But it definitely needs sorting. Oh for another Martin Laursen

Is this 19th minute debate going to come up every week. Those that want to do it (me for instance) will do it. Those that don't, won't.

Anyway, we look very good in attack, but still dodgy at the back. Better than last season though, where we were good in attack but very dodgy at the back.

Tonev looks like he could be quality, a bit too eager and a tad rusty at the moment though.

We look good going forward, good shape and movement and crisp passing. Still look a bit frail at the back though.

He's an absolute Tonka. Why do they persist with him?
It's like he's taking the piss and they haven't noticed yet.

Quite possibly, it is a forum for expressing views after all.

Tonev had one or two nice touches but looks way off the pace to me. Will need a few weeks training before he is anywhere near match fit.
