And we’re not inventing something new here; it’s four at the back - how hard can it be for professional footballers and highly experienced coaches?

What does this even mean? Don’t you know we’re also playing against professional footballers and highly experienced coaches?

Yet we had the same old problems; starting players who weren’t good enough last season, pisspoor set pieces, throw-ins that would shame a Sunday league side, lack of urgency,

Which set pieces are you talking about? We had two corners: the first found Hughes with a well-worked free header in the first half, and the second was a good delivery from Devine. The free-kick deliveries were largely fine too, they were simply well defended.

As always, you’re making things up to sensationalise the situation rather than actually reflecting what happened.

Neantherdal hoofball patterns of play, changes made too late.

19% of our passes yesterday were long balls, compared to 20% for Bolton. For sure, we struggled to progress the ball yesterday with quality because we had Storey, Lindsay, and McCann. But ‘Neanderthal hoofball patterns of play’ is obviously silly - especially as I’d put good money on you being one of the actual Neanderthals in the crowd who shouts ‘FORWARD!’ all game.

You'd be surprised if The Family leave.

I know a family member of his and I was told he wouldn't return here under the current set up / owners (IoM). He will, I was told, be happy to manage again in this region at some stage given the location of his family but he is currently happy (as of last March) at Millwall.

This was about March time the chat I had.

I'd have him back in a heartbeat

Thanks for that, didn’t realise how well we had played.Happy clapper award coming your way 😳
 
I have just read the full thread of the first Liverpool v Como game , all 70 minutes of it…..

McConnell didn’t get one mention , which might be a good thing…..

Koumas got lots of positive comments as did Ramsay..

One poster suggesting that they should keep Luke Chambers as cover ….

McConnell was subbed off after 67…

McConnell got into the game a bit more after the first lot of subs.

Would like for us to get Koumas on loan. He's done well this preseason. Can play on either wing or as the false 9. Especially if we can't get Mills this window and can't get two wingers in, as that versatility would really help. Could be ready for a breakout season.

I’ve just been on a Liverpool forum and somebody has stated that the first game is only 35 minutes each way……

It was. McConnell seemed to get through unscathed. I assume he won't be involved in the game later having played the full game just now.

Didn't do much of note but was playing in the 10 which is probably slightly out of position to accommodate Mac Allister and Nyoni playing in the middle.

Looked tidy enough, worked hard and seemed to be a team player. Might have been unlucky to not receive the ball on the edge of the box a couple of times.

Didn't watch much of the second half cus I got bored 😅

If we can get a CB we need we will be fine. We cannot afford Lindsay, Storey, and Hughes to start again…
Thompson neither honking

But hecky said yesterday with addition of Clarke as R.B he his happy with his back line he suggested more additions further forward. ...he knows best I suppose ..
 
If Hecky doesn’t think we need defensive signings then I’d sack him tomorrow. It’s to everyone that Lindsay and Storey is a shambolic pairing, even by league one standards. Pol had one of the worst individual performances ive seen for us. Weak as piss, completely unable to defend 1v1, and zero composure to run into space. He’s got a ridiculously athletic player in Offiah who’s crying out for a long run in one position. Beggars belief as to what he was thinking. Hopefully that’s the last we ever see of Thompson too, I’ve never seen such a one footed player in my life. Plus Heckys comments about not considering any changes at half and how we need more attackers to be able to play the way we want. In my opinion he’s wildly incorrect, without a good base we will get nowhere this year.
