Rarely if ever got played in his best position behind a main striker. An asset not used correctly by Rodgers.

Your graphic is absolutely damning to your own point mate. As clear a decision that you’ll ever see for a professional assistant ref. This was no amateur dad on a parks pitch. He could only see Man U players because there weren’t any Lcfc players as they were holding the traditional line that is always held in dead ball situations like this.

You’re on the wind up mate, the Man U players were 2-3 steps at least ahead of our last line of defence and the linesman would’ve had the best view of that in the whole stadium. There was no one blocking his view of Maguire and it was from a dead ball situation - that’s a simple decision in Sunday league football, a well paid assistant referee earning £60k plus expenses a year minimum should not be missing decisions like that.

The linesman had an unobstructed line of sight. It was an excellent offside line by the defence, Maguire and 3 teammates were offside before the freekick and didn’t move from that offside position. The decision was so poor it looked corrupt.

You clearly didn’t watch the last game against Everton. Tonight we were ok, certainly our best performance against Man U this season! Plenty of performances this season and in Rodgers’ last season that have been way worse than this and that’s only going back 3 years, not even considered the Levein and Holloway stints that both fall into your 20 year window!

Don’t agree with that. Gives it away at times but he had another solid game for me.

Was ok 1st half but ran out of batteries by 60 minutes. He should’ve been subbed. Despite this he still had more impact after that time than McAteer over on the right. That’s not a compliment.

Massively improved? Not seen much to back that statement up tonight.

Tbf We don’t play a single CDM so winks was never put in the position as our ball winner. We play two number 6’s. He was poor tonight though I’m not disputing that. Skipp has shown he isn’t the answer in that role to win the ball too. Hamza would’ve been perfect tonight to swap with Ndidi from a ball winning perspective.

He had to rest Ndidi though & no one else can do it. Skipp isn’t anymore capable than Winks as an enforcer in midfield. We did have someone that perhaps could’ve done a shithouse role but unfortunately we’ve loaned Hamza out to Sheff U!

Never a handball, arm was close to his body and hit from point blank range, then a miles offside goal. Disgraceful end

Taking Mainoo off has meant Man U are finally playing with 11 men. That’s a key change as well as Garnacho. Mainoo is unbelievably overrated.

They’ll take off the Man U Skipp (Mainoo) and replace him with Garnacho. That’s the easiest half JJ has had all season.

Mads should give the ball to BDCR and go let the lad work his magic

The best modern scouts base their assessments 50% eye test and 50% stats. Heard it on a football podcast last year (not involving Coady fyi.)

I think our best defender is Big Harry Souttar from an old school defender perspective.

That is true - in that sense our canteen staff are a true representative of our wonderful team of nopace merchants - Vesty, Faes, Podcast Coady, BDCR and Ayew.

They obviously aren’t Everton fans if they are throwing concourse shade

You could easily do it with a shared extra phone handset. Use an old smart phone just to have the season ticket with a pay as you go sim and pass code access to wallet.

We should never have sold Jeffrey Schlupp. A utility player that could play defence, midfield and attack.

Coulibaly looks perfect for a wing back role, move Justin to the left wing back and play Coady, Okoli and one other CB in a back 3. Ndidi, Soumare, Bilal central mid and a combo of Vardy with Mavididi or Buonanotte up front. Ayew and Winks logical sub options if the game needs closing out.

This should be our tactic. Mads gives the ball to Od Ed on the edge of our own area and let him work his ‘Edouard magic™️’

I think I can comment for all of us in stating total and utter relief that we’ve somehow in this transfer window kept hold of our Lord and Saviour, ladies and gentlemen I give you ‘King’ Odsonne Edouard.

Tbf to the club, they’ve switched the tunnel sign back to the 22/23 one.

3.5 years seems reasonable for a 64 year old, only 31 years without a club too AND he’s one of our own. No brainer.
