What are you comparing them to in order to say they are consistently inept? Clearly you need a point of reference otherwise the statement is utterly meaningless

Obviously because it depends on your baseline. You said Pingel was shit but he’s won more international medals than any England player you can name who didn’t play in the 1966 World Cup. How exactly is he shit?

I never said they were shit, someone else did. No professional football has ever been truly shit by your logic simply by the fact a bloke off the street is far worse. They should be judged and critiqued by the standards they have set for themselves by previous performances

It’s all relative I suppose and it depends on how far back your memory goes. We are in an era where we’ve spend hundreds of millions do expectations are rightly adjusted. I’ve seen the likes of askew in the flesh but I don’t judge Gordon by his standards nor should I

It’s social media and it’s normal. Best to give it a miss if offended by meltdowns otherwise just take it all with a pinch of salt. My opinion doesn’t change because of what I see on here

These things aren’t mutually exclusive. It is possible to enjoy the journey while at points being critical when justified. I enjoyed the goal but that doesn’t wipe away a very disappointing performance

He’s just lost a bit of form, it happens to the best of them but the manager needs to make a call. Not sure if he will play himself back into form or needs a spell on the bench

We’ve played 2 extra games in the CL minus 1 less round in the carabao cup s basically 1 game where we heavily rotated anyway. The playing through the lines issue is longstanding and shows little sign of improvement

Can’t use that excuse for the midfield which is where the problems really were today again in the first half particularly. We look so one dimensional and easy to play through

Pains me to say it but not much difference in the end product so far

Reminds me of gabby obertan at times. Loads of pace but no football brain

Just proves that when you concede is as important as how many. We top that stat because the goals we’ve conceded come so late in games

Madness from pope to keep trying quick kicks when we needed to kill the game. The saves are irrelevant if he lacks the composure and concentration to do the professional thing and keep the ball away from them

He didn’t turn up for the first 6 or last 6 league games last season due to his sulking. Craig isn’t happy unless he can stir the pot

Straight out of the Charles Hughes coaching manual. POMO and all that

Winning a cup and runner up in another cup final while qualifying for the champions league 2 out of 3 years is underperforming? What do you think we should have achieved? If you are going to make such ridiculous statements then back it up with facts

Touché

I think we did well to get 3 good years out of him before his true personality was revealed. This feels like it was inevitable because the instinct to act like a spoilt brat was always there.

The only bad taste is due to him refusing to play. We’ve lost far better players in the past but YouTube and social media wasn’t a thing when we sold Beardsley, Gazza etc. part of it is kept going by plastics looking for bites and our fans obliging. Should die down soon hopefully

It was generated on chat GPT so hardly surprising

They are a special bunch. They can’t stop going on about us even though there is nothing to talk about now. They are trying to make it look like Isak is the victim as some sort of weird initiation into their cult. Can’t just accept that we hate the rat

The club hung Trent out to dry. To be brutally honest you might as well be arguing to me about who had the hardest dad. It’s irrelevant. It doesn’t affect my love for nufc whatever fans of other clubs think and not this is over with I won’t give Liverpool a second thought until we play you again

Better ran 😂😂 they let their best 3 player run their contract down then vilified one of their own for fulfilling his contract and winning the lot resulting in fans burning the shirt. As for Isak, not our problem now. I don’t care what he does

He had a contract and broke it by not playing. Nothing more to it than that. Like I say he’s gone now and I’ve no interest in his side to the story such as it is. The club is more important than any employee

Unless Isak or whoever a produce evidence of any broken promises there is nothing the club can be blamed for here. He wanted out at all costs and took the scorched earth policy to leave. That’s up to him.

Im saying that the broken promises is a cover story to justify his actions because if it really happened it would be a deal breaker in his next contract. No coincidence that Martinez is his agents other client and he also acted like a twat in this window

Karma will bite him on the arse one day like it will with Wissa. Absolutely nothing the club did or didn’t do justifies going on strike. Semantics and dancing on the head of a pin doesn’t change that. He’s got zero credibility or legacy here now.

His gripe is alleged broken promises. Anyone with a brain cell would say once bitten twice shy. Anyway he’s gone now and thankfully not our problem.

The issue isn’t him wanting to leave, that is his right. The issue is going on strike and refusing to play or train. The only facts we have are he did that and breached his contract. All the rest is just hot air. I don’t need any other proof of anything else as I paid his wages

If it’s not written down it’s never been said. It really is that simple. Also if he really wanted out then why not submit a written transfer request? He can’t be that scarred because he’s signed a 6 year contract with his new club with no release clause. He’s just a spoilt brat
