Trying to recall how many of our home games vs Liverpool have been Saturday 3 O'Clock's in last 25 years or so. This one won't be a game it will be a procession, maybe a little too early for Liverpool to clinch title mathematically but let's not kid ourselves, it's only being shown from that perspective, as part of the title run in.

I just think last night was a result of Potter doing his due diligence and watching us and identifying that he is the sole spark and threat and spent the week drilling his team to counter that threat, like any proper manager would do.

Dju know if he's any good?

If he was in the last chance saloon and under scrutiny and review by his bosses, which he should be by now, they see last night, what do they see that says to them there's anything inspirational, innovating or encouraging there. A performance like that with no change of shape, a token 5 minute try of Daka and just containment again to keep the score down, when you should be under review, surely would be the end. It's like the man had money on 0-2 (I'm joking lawyers), he couldn't have done any less to change the outcome. It cried out for 5 subs at half time, a system change and a roasting, what does he do - give then another 15 minutes. They've had 15 matches and not offered anything, what was another 15 minutes going to do?

He's so gangly and there's so much of him that bits of him play people 3 yards onside even if their feet are ahead of his. Just about every freeze frame of a conceded goal has one of his limbs as out deepest point. Absolute liability, be better off with ten men.

Mads Justin Coady Okoli Coulibaly Kristiansen Ricardo (ASAP) Ndidi Bilal Daka Vardy (60 mins) / Evans (30 Mins) Survival guaranteed!

My initial thoughts were that Wolves have the easier run in, on the final day all of us could be playing teams already on the beach (no Bournemouth pun intended) also Southampton’s 2nd last game v Everton will be apart from perhaps Everton having their last game at Goodson makes it a bit special for them and lastly it’s just not fair - Ipswich & Southampton get to play Leicester whereas we don’t. We might get 2 points (Ipswich & Southampton) and possibly a point at Bournemouth if they’re not needing a result to confirm Champions League or Europa League place. I can see them cementing 5th with Newcastle 4th and Forest 6th by then. if we switched to 3 CB’s with wing backs I could see a point vs Man Utd & Wolves too but we won’t.

Just waiting for the jolly reminder that we get more games at Championship level, lucky us.

“The Club have announced that a slice of Pineapple cake and a bottle of Water will be available for the next home game” ”Which one plays at Right back and which at Centre Back has yet to be decided”

Europe starting to look unlikely now

His “chasing” back vs his opponent reminds me of someone on a Sunday morning having a weekly token light jog to the newsagent to pick up the newspapers waving at neighbours and patting a cat on the head as he passes by all niiiice and relaaaaaxed. Doesn’t remind me of a very well paid professional athlete. Ditto Harry Winks.

Oh must we? Are we obliged to fulfil the fixture list. Oh come on, it’s not funny anymore, we’re not setting up properly, no one wants the ball, defensively we’re clowns, nothing changes, we don’t turn up.

After long deliberation I’ve selected De-Cordova Reid’s goal at Old Trafford as City’s goal of the month for February, a tough choice, congrats Bobby

Oh don’t happy clap that you bunch of seals

Ruud, we could have a decade of added time and still not trouble their keeper, maybe concern yourself more with the first 90 minutes?

Oooooh a gamble at 87 minutes how brave

I know it’s etiquette, I know our GOAT deserves a clap but please please please pick up your flask and get on the coach before the final whistle and let them see an empty away end. Or are you happy with this?

Sav shocked at seeing what we’ve seen for months from our midfield “effort” levels

It’s just that containment thing again, keep the score down, heaven forbid we introduce a second striker

Ruuds edition of the Karma Sutra, it has the same few positions on every page and won’t consider alternative ones.

You might as well bring your mascot on too and let him have a game West Ham, he’d cope fine

A corner! A corner !

What Savage is talking about re confidence is why we had to bring 3 or 4 new faces in, even if they’re not “significant improvements” they haven’t lost 7 in 8, 8 in 9 recently, they’re not mentally shot.

Give them 15 minutes to prove their selection right? They’ve had 15 games to do that !!!
