**** it. Kick Martial out and play McTominay as the backup striker to Rasmus, we cant do much worse, Scott is absolutely ****ing useless in midfield but put him in the box and he turns into Wayne ****ing Rooney in a kilt.

Another loss for Ange! He desperately needs Maddison and VDV back

Title is gone for Spurs now sadly but they can still push for top 4. Won't be easy with the injuries. Maddison & VDV were both key Ange signings and he desperately needs them on the park, they are a different proposition with the quality of those 2.

They are on the same points as Man U now ffs

End of the day Ange is building for a big 2nd season, the lack of depth at present is on the club and previous managers

Title was never happening.

Top 4 would be a huge success

Endo probably worst player I seen at Liverpool in a while.

On another note, for all the criticism Utd and ten hag have received this season they are only 3 points off city. Possibly level after today

🤷‍♂️ Nothing changes until the Florida goblins are out. Although possibly if they let Ratcliffe run football operations, we might get an actual over-arching vision/plan and the football dept. and recruitment, wage structure etc. will improve. Until then, new manager, bit of an upswing, then regression. Rinse, repeat as it's been for the past decade. :mad:

I’m not overly optimistic about Ratcliffe, his track record running football clubs is sketchy to say the least and this looks more like a vanity project for him. Also the very fact that he did a deal to keep the Glazers around leaves a disgusting taste in my mouth.

Although.

I’ll be more optimistic if the rumours about him bringing in Blanc as CEO and Mitchell as DoF are true.

I think they docked Everton points because they didn't want them finishing top 4.
They could have just done nothing then!

Although doing well to look like surviving... wonder how those City and Chelsea deductions are coming along

I think the past ten years has pretty much beaten any optimism out of me, but there are some small signs that Ratcliffe may be intent on instilling some well overdue professionalism into the football side of things. Have heard the odd rumour they want to prise Ashworth away from Newcastle as a sporting director but yeh, Blanc and Mitchell are two I would not be unhappy to see. Fingers crossed it actually works as hope is about all we've got right now and even that is in short supply.

Like you, the very thought of those parasitic cnuts being allowed to stay on in any capacity is nauseating but this may be the only way we can eventually get rid of them, as it became quite clear a full sale was only going to happen if someone payed some stupidly over the value amount at this stage. As it is now, it may take longer but we can only hope it's a partial with a view to a full takeover in the next few years.

Luton vs Bournemouth was abandoned today after Luton captain Tom Lockyer went into cardiac arrest on the field. Luton has confirmed that he was responsive by the time he was taken off the field, he’s currently stable and under going further tests at hospital.
