On the topic of Kelechi, why did we let him go if the best replacements we could get were Jordan Ayew and Odsonne Edouard on loan who are both worse than him?

Depressing when you see Tyler Dibling breaking through for Saints the way he has.

Yeah but Pearson's system in 2014-15 wasn't any good until we went to a 3-4-1-2 that was clearly defined at the end of the season.

John Terry and Ashley Cole weren't bad

Or he can invert like last season which means he has a better rest defence position than when JJ (or any full-back) is caught further up the flank - look at the transition Everton had for the DCL chance second half.

We should have got the next Maresca in. Someone like Carlos Cuesta. Keep the style of play going, rather than going from Man City lite to Scunthorpe United.

Carragher's analysis is actually good, though. Agree about Neville, though.

Before the season started I was hoping/expecting: Spurs L Fulham D Villa L Palace D Everton W So a win and two points down. It's not lots but it adds up at the end of the campaign.

Hermansen Faes Okoli JJ Ricardo Winks Fatawu Ndidi El Khannous/Skipp Mavididi Vardy

It’s alright bench our star boy in favour for someone who we knew was crap all along

Or we drop him and play both our good wingers.

That has proven to be correct. I don't get what the outrage is. He was onside.

I wish Cooper would stop talking about that Mateta goal and just focus on this weekend. One of the biggest games of our season coming up.

Plus Leif Davis is one of their best players.

I find this tough to believe when we have given all our last 3 managers (including Cooper) more control than 90% of other clubs in the Championship/PL allow their managers. Plus, he worked at Chelsea and Brighton - two clubs where managers have little control over anything off of the pitch.

Hermansen JJ Faes Okoli Kristiansen Winks Skipp Fatawu Ndidi Mavididi Vardy Not keen on midfield 3 of Winks, Skipp and Ndidi but we need Ndidi's height and combative nature against a physical Everton side. Can't drop him after how he played on Saturday either.

I'd rather have Mavididi and Fatawu

What's likeable about someone who drops his best players, takes us away from a good style of play and then blames refereeing decisions for his own short comings?

Mavidid and Fatawu most both start. Please.

All of our defenders apart from Thomas have been apart of their countries national team set-up at senior level. It’s decent for a side in our position.

No one, that didn't happen. It was a joke.

Surely there must be some sort of insurance against injuries in Chelsea's favour with these contracts? Hypothetically, if Jackson has a career ending injury next season, surely he's not on their pay roll until 2033 still?

I don't understand how signing a striker wasn't a priority this window. I thought it would be number 2 on the list of priorities after replacing KDH.

Why pity? It's clear from Rodgers, Maresca and Cooper (his comments in the press about signing premier league experienced players) that our board are giving too much control to managers. It's his own doing.

I don't think I've disliked anyone associated with LCFC so quickly.
