The Rock for TC. Gissa job (see above)!

Need to get Jack on to run the corners.

5 at the back now by the look of it.

[Mister E]

What a fucking defence we have.

(Hopes I don't speak too soon)

This is the single biggest difference compared to the last couple of seasons ... and it should develop a more positive approach to holding and using the ball if we can continue to keep clean sheets / minimise golas-conceded.
Over time, this will enable Benteke and Grealish to flourish.

I'm going to be controversial here.

Even if we do win this 1-0, it won't have been worth it. Is it any wonder we're not selling season tickets when we play like this. It's the ultimate in anti-football.

Your joking aren't you? We're 1 up at a team which nearly won the league last season. They are a better team than us in all departments.
If we win 1-0 I'm going to enjoy every bit of it.

I'm not against a battling away performance but sitting back for 70 minutes is ridiculous. I am sorry, we will never improve unless we start trying to play football.

Aaaaarrrgh !

Darren Bent coming on

[CorkVilla]

Only just logged in...can't believe what I'm reading. Are we really winning one nil? :)

[Tuscans]

Ha look at Herd with his goggles on.

[citizenDJ]

It's been, like, two minute I know, but Sanchez doesn't half close down space quickly.

Hear bloody hear.  If were playing like this against Sunderland at home I may express concern.

Agreed. Will only be sorry I live too far away to do that among those sour faced Scousers in the crowd shots at Whingers Arms.

4 minutes added time. Don't think my bowels can cope

[andyh]

4 fuckin mins!

[garyshawsknee]

4 fucking mins
