Very impressed with how Stockport managed to sell tickets for seats that did not exist... had tickets in Row J, the seats in front were Row H, stewards repeatedly said there was no Row I, yet my seat was occupied by someone who had been sold a ticket for Row I.

 

Bemused stewards told us to sit "between Rows J and K" and wandered off... farcical.

"Please take your seats" was a joke

Did you climb over me and my mate into the row behind? Totally agree but ours definitely said I on the ticket

So we are setting the bar at Fofana now are we?  At least he's turning up. Listen to yourself. 

 

I'm really tired of the defence of Tielemans and have been for a year now. I keep hearing Rodgers say he's been a model professional. His effort has been disgraceful at times. To the point where I can't believe I want someone gone who's given me the best moment supporting us. 

 

I'm sick of letting players get away with it just because the likes of Paul Pogba have set this modern day precedent of being able to treat the club that pays you with utter contempt. 

...he isn't treating the club with contempt, we are enabling him!!!

  He doesn't get this ride unless we indulge him.

  Once again our eye is off the ball and his sale should have happened a year ago,  as we were fully aware he was not looking to sign a new contract. 

 If Fofana has anything about him, he would knock on Rodgers door asking to play, we should not be looking to drop our price because a player is attempting to behave in a matter that will drive his price down. 

  Tielemans was previously alienated at Monaco by their supporters, a manager refused to take up the role if he (Tielemans) was still at the club, he has history in getting supporters going against him.

  A bit of self examination would have helped.

If there was a problem with Tielemans then the players wouldn't accept him wearing the armband.

 

Clearly he's respected within the group. Clearly he's too talented to not be playing in Europe. Clearly he's put his head down and tried to ignore the noise.

 

His only crime is to want to better his career.

 

If only the likes of Mahrez and Fofana had the same level of respect for the club that gave them the platform.

You shouldnt be anyway near a captains armband if you want to leave the club. Being captain is setting the example to the rest of the team, what kind of example is that? This sort of thing of not having any leaders in our squad to the point where they give the armband to someone who doesnt want to be here is one of the reasons why we’re in the mess we’re in. Club is an absolute mess and full of spineless, soft footballers with no fight.
 

Pearson only used to sign players who had something about them, Rodgers just signs technical footballers with no regard to what else they can bring the team personality wise. Has done throughout his whole career

Don't stand behind the goal when Perez is taking a penalty

Having decided to grab a beer in the ground pre-game, all the Rows further back were already full.

I clapped. I don't think booing players is a great motivator. I'd rather they felt a sense of responsibility to a loyal fan base than a sense of antipathy to a bunch of mouth-frothing booers. 

 

I did boo Rodgers though. He's old enough to get it. 

Fair enough, like I say, people are clearly free to react however they want.

 

I just think we have become too soft. These are top class footballers being paid ridiculous sums of money, the supporters (in most cases) aren’t. They spend a lot of money to go and support them, the players need to know that it isn’t good enough.

 

I think most players have been appalling so far. Most went straight down the tunnel on Saturday, they deserve absolutely nothing from the fans if that’s what they think is acceptable after a clueless display - never mind being clapped off.

Watching the highlights of the penalties and there's a guy that looks absolutely devastated and crestfallen that Iversen saved a penalty and also that we've won. 

 

This is after the 2nd save he made:

 

Look at the daggers to Iversen

 

 

And then sheer disappointment we've actually won the shootout:

 

Most others still celebrated to win the game, and I have no idea who he is but he clearly travelled up wanting us to lose and was gutted we didn't

 

Much like my reaction

 

Probably how Iversen feels after Rodgers post match interview as well haha

[Fox92]

Frustrating as last 15 especially we were all over them. I thought Maddison and KDH were our best players. Still not impressed with Daka, completely forgot he was on the pitch at one point. 

 

I understand people expecting us to go there and win, with them being in League 2, but it's not how cup games work. Ask Pep about Wigan the other year.

Clutching at straws but one of the positives last night was Cags - first class IMO

 

Hope Rodgers saw what I saw...

He didn't as suggested by his post match interview - said he wasn't in the 1st due to consistency in concentration levels (Maybe Amartey is consistently bad?!) - he also mentioned that Cags had a few lapses in concentration (albeit he said that might be due to him not playing too regularly) - I can't see him starting Cags anytime soon

What a tit this guy is!?

Gotta get them social media likes.

"Maddinson" looks incredibly calm for someone who is rattled.

I earn pretty well, but if I'm feeling shit at work, being criticised wouldn't spur me on. Everyone's different I guess.

Last night has probably ruined Daka. Thought he would have a good season this year after he looked sharp in pre season but he has been non existent.

That's really interesting actually. When people have a go at me at work, which is pretty frequent, I double down and work harder / longer / faster etc to prove them all wrong.

If people say I'm doing a good job I think they are brown nosing and steer clear!

This is what you get with Mancs. An absolutely disgusting self-centred arrogance and child-like attitude. Look at Neville for a prime example. 
 

 

 

 

 

 

I don’t like Manchester or the people if you couldn’t tell

Yeah, that's what I mean. I work harder when I get recognised. I know in myself when I'm ****ing up - someone else highlighting it just makes me down tools. 

 

Rodgers sells himself as a man-manager who specialises in knowing all the right buttons, so maybe Fofana needs tough love but Youri needs adulation

Not that I’m arsed about my own seat I’ll sit anywhere but stewards told me to return to my seat when stood at the back, when I replied that someone was in mine (they were), she said well go stand in theirs then

He's another one that needs a new manager
