It's likely because Bruce doesn't favour physically lightweight players like Almiron, despite the praise he sometimes gives him. It's the type of mentality that stopped us from signing Modric.

Lewis seems to be getting a bit better in every game. Hopefully he continues on this trajectory.

In fairness he did receive the ball out the right and then played it off a Manure player for a throw for us Problem is that that seems to be the limit of his ability and usefulness at the moment.

Wilson's hold up play has been decent.

It could be argued we've been somewhat lucky so far

Fraser and Almiron on the bench. I know Manure are one of the much hyped "big six", but surely given their current circumstances, and with us being at home, now was the time to really get at them instead of parking the bus, which is what that line up looks like to me. Of course as much as I complain I'm in no way surprised that this is what Cabbage heed has decided to go with. Hopefully he and Joelinton prove me wrong.

Yes, indeed, I will find things amusing at my leisure, thank you.

Again where did I say that their fanbase had to collectively criticise the Liverpool owners/decision makers? I think I was pretty clear that it's the ones that refer to each other as comrades that I was talking about. If you are that committed to an ideology, but there isn't a peep out of you about what the owners of your club are currently trying to do, then that's quite a blind spot. And there probably has been criticism from Liverpool fans who call themselves socialists, but once again I find the potential hypocrisy of not even mentioning it or indeed being in favour of it were you of that persuasion funny.

Because a club having a socialist tradition, that a number of their fans love to bang on about despite how ridiculous that is if you're a Premier League club, juxtaposed with the club trying create a permanent monopoly is amusing, as I said in the original post.

Where did I say Project ballbag was their responsibility? I said that IF the Liverpool fans with the red roses in their twitter bio's aren't totally against it then they're hypocrites.

The thing I find most amusing about this is that a lot of Liverpool fans like to see the club as having a socialist tradition, that still lives on albeit compromised by the realities of having to compete in the Premier League. If those same fans aren't fuming about what their owners are attempting to do by affectively pulling up the ladder behind them, then their principles weren't worth very much were they.

I haven't seen enough of him dropping deep for Villa to make a proper assessment, so I'll take your word for it. As for the game England were pretty fortunate with the deflection and Belgium seemingly taking the foot of the gas a bit in the second half. Although I might be being a bit unfair in terms of putting Belgium's relatively poor second half mostly down to them instead of England fighting their way back into it. Not sure how those two opposing things balanced out exactly.

Grealish is nowhere near a centre mid though. Number ten or out wide are his positions. He doesn't have the discipline or physical presence to play in centre mid. Again that's the main problem with the squad, too many attacking mids and wingers, not enough Henderson's, or playmakers, and defensive mids of the same level of quality as Henderson.

You could definitely play a much less cautious team, but again I'm unconvinced you have enough in centre mid to stitch it all together even if you did. As the old cliche states it's all won in midfield.

Who else do you have in centre mid who's at the same level of quality of Henderson? And again even with five at the back and two defensive centre mids it was backs to the wall at times. Maybe attack would be a better form a defence, but I don't think you have a strong enough team from back to front to play like that, at least with who's currently on the pitch.

No need for Rice and Henderson? Belgium have overrun England for large parts of the first half. Without that extra cover you would have been completely steam-rolled. I do agree that Grealish should be starting over Mount though. The biggest weakness in this England team is it's lack of top class options in centre midfield, closely followed by the situation at centre back. It's completely lop sided with the options you have on the wing, attacking midfield, and to a certain extent up front.

Out of 4,200 fans 97% said they won't be paying the 15 quid for the Manure match from a poll on twitter by NUFC Blog. Those 3% clearly have more money than sense.

It's ridiculous that anyone in a position of power for a club is then allowed to take a position such as Parry did with the EFL. The problem is that there's no end to the corruption in football. The more you dig the more you find.

England have decent players, but an absolute muppet in Southgate as coach. I'd be very surprised if any of the young players in the squad respect his authority. All that stuff with Foden and Greenwood seems to support that notion. They likely think who's this big nosed twat to be telling me anything. Although I suppose young rich players not taking authority seriously is a big problem for the vast majority of managers.

I agree with Mark Douglas in that Parry's position should hopefully be untenable now. If indeed Liverpool and Manure had a big hand in his appointment, it seems he's tried to pay back their help in all too obvious ways. Parry clearly hasn't got too much going on between the ears, and he clearly hasn't read Machiavelli, the Art of War etc. The most annoying thing about this is that Parry will likely be the fall guy without Manure and Liverpool getting much blow back. Actually to be more accurate the most annoying outcome would be for them to be able shove everything through, and just wear all the bad PR like the shameless cunts that they are. With what the Premier League have said about it that seems very unlikely thankfully. The funny thing is that this plan sounds exactly like something Masters would be for, but he's obviously at least slightly more intelligent than Parry in that he knows the plan was too transparent, and that the PL can't afford much more negative publicity.

Am I missing something, or is it actually popular opinion that Joelinton has looked like a good player in the last few games. I keep seeing articles saying he's much improved and currently one of our best performing players. As far as I'm concerned the only reason he looks marginally better in his withdrawn number 10, or out wide role, is because he's no longer in a position to balls up as many clear chances. Maybe my bias has prevented me from seeing the improvement.

Not sure I'm all that pleased that the barrister that's supposed to be working on the clubs behalf is playing silly beggar's on social media. That is unless this all really adds up to a concrete break through. Even then it seems like a less than serious thing to do for a reportedly elite barrister. Edit. Not that I'm trying to piss in anybodies cornflakes, it just seems like a weird thing to do regardless of the circumstances. I'm as desperate for the club to be sold as anyone.
