Pessimism is fine but constantly berating the team without giving any credit when it's due is something else. 2 seasons before Rafa left I wrote a long piece which was posted on another website, citing it was time for us to part ways. Drew a lot of flack it did but I didn't mind given it was to me a well thought out piece. BR has made mistakes but at the same time he deserves credit for the things he has done right. He's done enough for the club to see out the term of his contract at least.
No one calls for his head. Just not yet. He just won manager of the month 1-2 weeks ago.
Our midfield is not functioning at all today, and no wing, every chance have to go through center, until Southampton saw our weaknesses, who to blame? Right now blaming is useless, we must stay focus in the next match rather than blaming today game because we can't change it now, learn from lesson and please BR don't ever make such a mistake again!
I don't understand why Gerrard sat deep in the midfield. I noticed he's been playing deep this season.
I said Stevie is playing deep now to compensate for a Lucas' lack of passing range and consistent form but with Xabi, he'll be freed up. Read it again la
2 players do 1 player job. Neither effective nor efficient. It's like 10 players VS 11 players on the field.
Might as well sell off 1 of them and replace them with 1 capable player that can do the job.
Absolutely breath-taking all action stuff. Man City really put in everything to this game and MU struggle to cope with their quick movement.
Well, we used to have our moments like this last season.
And we will again. King Luis is back! The Brazilian whiz kid will come back sooner. I am counting on it. The medics have been brilliant in bringing people back earlier than schedule, so I am counting on this.
Speaking of last season, Everton finished 6th and our team 7th. Everton spent 26M on transfer and our team spent 55m.
Obviously BR has no plan B. Google "Gerrard said BR has no plan B" He just want them to improve on plan A , A , A.... God bless how we gonna win anything if a stubborn shit keep praying plan A is works miracle.
One bad game and people are calling for Gerrard's head. That is the reason why loyalty in football is overrated. People forget what he has done for the club and want to replace him at the first obstacle.
IMO today Gerrard performance wasn't up to his standards. He made mistakes and lost possession but was far from our worse player on the field. I think he is playing out of position and this type of play doesn't suit him. I don't understand why Rodgers is playing him so deep. He is more effective in attack.
Only one bad game?
Seriously, Gerrard has been playing poor since 2010-11. To be specific, he's not been lethal since 2010-11. (Remember the year when Torres ran like headless chicken as lone striker under Sir Roy Hodgson™? Stevie G played like headless chicken too.)
He's sitting deep this season. Sitting deep is not an issue. Sitting deep and not performing is a huge issue.

Full strength team or not i honestly don't see a win for us. It's old trafford ffs.They will be looking to bounce back after the humiliation yesterday and also they have rvp back.
We might as well cut our losses by resting gerrard,sturridge.Maybe on the bench.returning players like kelly and xavi should start.
We must WIN!!! I really hope we win the next match. We can't have continuous slump.
We need consistency. Winning the top 4 teams and losing/drawing the mid/low table teams is really not the way.
