Happy with that. Today is about being competitive.

Hoping a fresh(ISH) start will motivate a few of our players. Glad wilder has dropped fleck & Thomas (two worst players last match, alongside mcbrainless). Hopefully a rousing half time team talk by wilder (who was always a good man motivator) can push us into sneaking a goal early 2nd half and give Liverpool a few uncomfortable moments

Feel positive about that, lots of what I wanted to see. 4atb, Hamer+Souza in the middle, getting the best out of Archer.

Like the move of giving Anel the armband. Hopefully gives him some confidence and focus back.

Liverpool have some great players and Van Dijk is so hard to deal with at set pieces. Was always gonna be hard to keep them out but this has been a really good effort so far.

Never saw anel as a captain, but good luck to him. Might be the extra boost he needs to get back the confidence & excellent form he had last season

 

[Half Bond Jls]

Do you know what? I'm alright with that.

Better int it.

 

[Rufus Smalls]

Still think Souza is struggling to be effective in the midfield holding role. It is Liverpool so can’t really judge him on this game. Hopefully he improves through the next few games as it’s a position that’s important in this system.

 

[JJ Sefton]

What we’re missing is a Keith Curle type to kick some of these up the arse.

 

[Thrice]

Brooks looks like a tidy player. One for the future no doubt.

 

[jono_t2000]

Biggest difference is passes back to Foderingham virtually non existent

Just need Trusty not to take 2-3 touches before playing it down the line

 

[Half Bond Jls]

Some save.

 

[SUFCinks]

Don’t want to jinx it but bogle has been brilliant tonight. Can’t believe how much of a difference between the last few games and today.

 

[Big.Dane.w]

Bogle had a great game up to now

 

[biggiesablade]

Ohhh shoooot

No fannying about playing out from the back either,we're just not very good at it .

 

[fifty shades of blade]

Lollapool, team of vaginas. 'Ooh book him he nearly poked me in the eye' fckin ponces

 

[Jan Age]

Fleck …. For the love of god … but what options do we have ?

 

[Jan Age]

Brooks has looked good

 

[CambridgeshireBlade]

Now if we just had a goal scorer we might have been doing alright here

 

[HarryHaslam]

Someone must have shouted scouse bastards or something when Robbo was taking that throw then.. he turned to the crowd and went “I’m a scouser”

 

[Peaktrade]

Fleck …. For the love of god … but what options do we have ?

Slimane?

 

[SLB]

Slimane?

Norwood and Fleck to start next game. You just know it.

 

[fifty shades of blade]

6 mins my arse!

 

[Dave9777]

FFS Archer, 3rd time he’s fluffed it in a dangerous position, is he awe struck or something ?

 

[Antarctic Monkey]

That needs lifting into the Kop 18 yard box from Bogle. He's beat him once.

 

[Headshrinker]

Good effort. On to the next one.

 

[Jan Age]

2-0 is a fair reflection of the game … but at least I was excited for at least 10-15 minutes in the game … play like that every week and we will get more than 11 points which is the aim…

 

[toledo]

Nothing wrong with the performance tonight. A very different game and far more commitment.

Good job and hopefully more to come.

toledo

 

[ThatJa]

Have a feeling Hooper won't be assigned a game at the weekend after that.

 

[CambridgeshireBlade]

Decent performance against a club with almost unlimited funds that clearly had the ref and var team on their payroll tonight, no way that darwin tackle is let go if it was us. With a decent goal scorer we probably get a draw.

My biggest gripe is the shirt swapping at the end, fucking embarrassing and makes it feel even more like I'm watching a non league club on a cup run just happy to be there

 

[Swannyblade]

Much improved in terms of effort and attitude. Looks like we’ll be up for the battle if we continue like that.
Be interesting to see how we play when there’s more of an onus on us to attack and create something.

Thought he was fantastic tonight but definitely a couple of occasions when he should've taken it on with his left. The 1v1 against Van Dijk and the ball through from McAtee
