Too late in responding like Cooper.

That is incorrect bollocks.

There's no learning by RvN.

Oh for a Huth like signing....

Never in doubt. Mavs. 😂😂😂😂

He's no Huth despite his passing.

We haven't lost yet. Still time. But RvN needs to be much better and earlier with subs. And yes, we do need some good signings.

There was always a player in there. Rodgers never had any interest in developing and nurturing a guy who was a young player in a different country. Maresca for some reason didn't want to know. Sadly, I think we'll possibly make a mistake in discarding Okoli too quickly.

Don't disagree. But they had that tackling ability. Coady and Faes are clumsy at the very best. Vestergaard runs away.

Van Dijk, Moore, Beckenbauer, Baresi, etc. All great tackling CBs. I want my defenders to tackle where needed. Don't think they have/had much else going wrong...

Funny how many people don't rate CBs who can actually tackle. 🤔

If we can get our act together, we could get all 3 points against Brentford.

Okoli is far better than you think in my opinion.

Here we go...

Believe. Remember 2014-15. We are not that adrift at all. Good night all.

We knew the squad we had wasn't good enough for the PL even with Maresca.

Okoli is a good player. Needs time.

Need more than 5 wins. Without any draws on top, 29 points will never keep us up. Blackpool had 28 points at Christmas when they got relegated.

Maresca loves pure football. Sides that rough his teams up can do well.

Their??

Chelsea under Maresca have been sussed??

I agree with you on this. Will he get that coaching in the new set up? Could just be a confidence issue though?

Aside from Liverpool, there isn't an outstanding team in this year's PL. Every other team is beatable. So there are plenty of opportunities to pick up say 8 wins out of 19 remaining games. We did appear to have more shape at the back in last two games and there was more fluidity to our play going forward yesterday, albeit Man City played at almost unrecognisable lower pace for them. We still need to shore up our defence and cut stupid mistakes. I think Okoli offers more than Coady but a hard headed solid CB would be a welcome January addition as would a RB and/or LB too. A good striker would help and another CM. But we are unlikely to get everything. Still plenty to play for and I am a little more optimistic than before yesterday that we could go on a reasonable run with continued improvement and some judicious additions in the right positions.

Spot on for me too.
