Depressing performance. I really question the tactics. Against a back 3 the space is in the channels. So why did we try and force the play through the middle for 90 mins. The season is becoming a bit shambolic from all concerned.

1.Go up your opponent's end and score.2.Stop them from scoring by defending properly.3.When they've got the ball get it from them.4. When we've got the ball don't give it away.Simple really isn't it, or am I missing something?Why couldn't we do any of 1,2,3 or 4 today?

Surely Gerrard and staff have been here long enough to improve this

Our transfer activity over the last 3 windows have been poor - and I wouldnt be suprised at all to see lange go. Both managers have been badly let down for us failing to get in a better midfielder - and there is a real possibility that will end up costing both managers there jobGerrard is out of his depth, needs to show a lot of learning between now and the end of the season, otherwise if I was the owners I would laugh him off, and go all out to bring a truely great manager in.Sounds harsh, but otherwise well just have another clear out and the teams above will continue to improve, and well be overtaken by others and he'll still be gone by this time next year. With our run in, theres a very real chance well finish 12 or below - which is really disapointing. If you think Gerrard will be binned you're deluded

And an exaggeration about the last 3 windows, despite the past 3 games, Coutinhio and Digne not good signings? I dont particularly like mid table seasons and its a bit meh, can we draw a line under it and start again, but if you hate this season how did you cope two seasons ago when were utter dirge and just about escaped from relegation. Its all disappointing but a bit of perspective is needed i think.

Now there's a feeling that the new owner bounce is over and everything seems flat.
