This is absolutely a season to just observe and not react to every poor result (feels like there will be a few of them).
I’d back the manager, recruiters and majority of players to come good eventually but meanwhile it’s no bad thing to mentally retreat slightly from it.
I was so invested last yr!

there's a moment in PARADISE LOST where Satan arrives in Eden and realizes Hell isn't a place; it's a thing he carries within him and it'll follow him wherever he goes. and i think about that when i see these awful rich men whose monstrous wealth has enriched them not at all

Looks a decent run on paper but they will all do the long ball thing which we’ve struggled to handle.
Forest is huge really. If we fail to win that then morale gets even lower.

Hope not - and he has a couple weeks to come up with *something*.

Guessing the folks who soiled their nappies over the Palace selection are quiet on the other app tonight eh.

Slot’s very good at shutting out the noise I reckon. He’ll know the issues and sort them over the season. Might not be enough to retain league but we will come good.

The William Webb-Ellis PL Season.

2020 Hindsight Defending champ suffers 8 defeats in 14 Premier League games isn't as far fetched as you might think

New post from me looking at the previous time #LFC went on a terrible #PremierLeague run when they were defending champions open.substack.com/pub/dankenne...

Probably of benefit to have 3 home games in a row even if they’re tough. No travel, just get down to brass tacks on your home turf, get some fight back in you, and give the crowd something to get behind (like don’t concede in first 15!!).
Little bit of luck would be welcome too.

Get to the next intl break and after that our fixtures become much kinder.

Can play ourselves into some form and hopefully then build towards April/May with a possible interest in winning 2 cup comps (league’s done for us imo but still think we got a shot at CL. Maybe I’m deluded!)

Buying great players and building a great team aren’t the same thing. We should have known this from countless cautionary tales across the league.

Should be serious questions asked of those allocating resources last summer because even the players missing today don’t really solve our problems.

Feels like during the summer he seemed very influenced by the PSG games if/when he discussed business and the future direction of the team.
I might be mis-remembering, and there’s nothing wrong with that in and of itself but… maybe he has mis-guided himself here. Not much wrong with us last season!

He and all others in charge should be seriously questioned for the allocation of resources in summer.

Whether that amounts to being sacked or even people considering it, I’m not sure.

Checking out of the league season 9 games in 😂😂😂

Liberating

Don’t know where we go from here. Complete dross

We learn today and next Saturday if any kind of league defence is viable :)

A mess of a lineup for the reds.

I think a lot (including myself) just blindly assumed the big outlay on quality players would result in something better than this. Frankly, performance wise, it should have.

Manager going through a rough patch along with some players but my goodness he’s earned the right to figure it out.

He certainly should’ve done *something* cos it felt like a powder keg when he accepted that invite based on revenge, but it ended up a very feeble exit.
He seemed like a rabbit in headlights at the end and couldn’t fight back - I was gutted as well 😂

How do you mean? Just that he should have turned down the invite, or been more aggressive in contradicting Harry’s shield theory

Gary Neville sack decision made by Sky Sports after 'deluded' rant Gary Neville has angered some middle-aged white men...but what do Sky Sports think of it all?

Gary Neville has picked the wrong kind of free speech. His ‘deluded’ rant and ‘most dangerous lapse into self-parody’ has prompted a Sky Sports sack call.

The MailOnline really does need to be careful about calling this a ”racist’ outburst, by the way...

What should happen: National revulsion, hounded out of public life

What will happen: New set design for Sky News as three very, very right wing parties fight out The Deportation Election

This scenario would also mean that Arsenal are 2 clear of us rather than 1 of course.

If the like for like DJ replacement isn’t Isak and he starts for them against us, I’m saying we draw that one.
Also I’ll say we draw Arsenal and get four points from Palace/Chelsea.

So it’s still 15 total but in a different order.

We also get a better result vs Galatasaray though IMO.

Whenever I see conditionality attached to two winning options , i become convinced we will lose or draw.

Any win is precious and shouldn’t ever be taken for granted. It’s a decent team we’re playing.

Belong doesn’t get the love it deserves

This. BBC bias isn't (just) about how it covers stories, but about the choice of what it covers: what if it gave blanket coverage to (eg) polluted rivers, CEO pay, underfunded public services instead of to migrants?

God dammit.

Dunno how I feel about that. Quality player but never been sure of how he’d do at a bigger club with heavier expectation. Could go either way on the Mane-Grealish spectrum.

I’ve mulled over posting this for months now. But yesterday it came to a head. And I’m aware that the people who need to see it will either not be here, or will suggest that I’m lying.

I live near an asylum hotel. The reason I didn’t post earlier is that I didn’t want to raise undue attention

Manager said at least two attackers, plus I think Guehi gets done; so I’ll say 3.

We will also sell Doak, Kostas, Bajcetic, and one of Harvey & Chiesa.

A brutal overpayment IMO.

I can’t see them letting 🇸🇪 leave now, he might just have to knuckle down until Jan. There’s always a way back.
