McGinn not very clever nor good, is he?

He’s playing out of position as is Ramsey. It’s the system that is shit.

To think we played really well here last season under Gerrard. We have gone proper backwards.

Bailey.Just can't see it.

 :o

Had a beautiful assist to get our goal, hit the crossbar out of nothing and is the only player we have that can take on a defender whether from a still or at pace.

He’s a winger in a narrow system. We can’t even figure out how to get him the ball.

We have way bigger problems than a winger that can actually play football and knows what direction the goal is.

Gerrard's tactics are fucking shite. Sorry, but they really are. We have no midfield.

He's utterly clueless
A true donkey.

We won't win many matches this season will we

We'll win enough to finish 14th again.

If only there was something we could do to try to improve this situation.....
Purslow won't be sacking his mate any time soon, though!

I know this is the height of fickle and fuck me I love being wrong so let's hope so, but this isn't just poor - as far as Gerrard's concerned, it looks terminally poor. There's no way that with a pre-season under his belt they should look this bad, this disjointed, this uncoached, this incoherent. It's the worst of the back end of Dean's run, but without any of the love.
