I'd be very disappointed if we set up tonight similar to the way we did at anfield.

We obviously won't be as deep, but I fear he's going to set up defensively in this type of game and the fans will soon lose patience with that.

If he’s being really defensive towards the end of the season when we’re comfortable then I could see more of a complaint.

Got to be at least another half a dozen games / results before making sure we’ve got confidence back in the defence isn’t the priority.

If we’re solid but score decent goals like vs Huddersfield then I won’t have a problem at all at this stage.

Since Silva used the word "harsh" 3 times in one sentence, the word appears to have crept in here a few times.  Politicians all use "we are very clear" every time they open their mouths.  Any others? "high press"  describing football tactics.

Bit harsh. A win tonight and we're as far off top 4 as we are from the drop.

.........I don't think it's harsh at all. We've 6 games between tonight and New Years Day including Chelsea and Man U. We're not out of the woods yet but I believe by the end of that run we could be as high as 8th. Then they can go to Five Guys or somewhere then meet Barkley in Santa Chupito's.

Well maybe after the cup game in the 5th!

What's harsh about it ? What's the big deal about a Xmas party, it's the busiest week of the year, we have won two home games against drop zone teams, they can have their party once we've consolidated a top 10 position, it's just a works do, they can do without that surely.

Is it fuck. Hope he has them all wearing hair shirts for the trip home if they lose tonight. Whip-crackaway!

Very odd.

[brittcop1]

none of them realise that they failed to beat us do they?

calling us the worst team they've faced yet they couldn't win....story of their lives isn't it really

Yeah im not really interested in the " objective" opinions of fucking Liverpool fans. Lets be honest, weve being totally getting embarrassed...by everybody. We were supposed to lose this by 5...easy. we got a point at Anfield...with a weak team..fucking enjoy it:))

Special might be stretching it a bit. But you can't argue with the results so far.

Oh don't you worry - someone will!

Amazing what a little bit of organisation does to this team.

Is right allardyce
