Gomez and Clyne did good job covering both flank. Still Gomez did too many silly mistake, luckily it doesn't cost us anything.

Ibe couldn't do much when pressed by 3 Stoke players, still a very long way to become a great players.

I have no idea how many chance we should be giving Lallana, no improvement at all. Yesterday he simply went invisible, I literally searching for him! A total flop based on his overpriced price tag.

the problem is not lallana.
its too many over-laps.
got milner, couts pushing up the middle...interchanging to the wings.
so couts, gomez also can go on other side.
ibe, hendo on opposite side.
then lala can just sit back and shake leg.

good thing that we have firmino standing by this time

u dont cb.
firmino costs 29m.
if he stand by all the time on bench...u gonna kena

Ya. Though firmino only appear for 15mins but I thk he is a good signing.

yup, That's why Can came in and he actually sit in the DM spot and things changed from there onward.

9th April 2015. 6-1 at Brittania. Gerrard's final game.

Never forget. Never forgive.

well. either he is maki or marquee player, it will very soon decided in the first 6 games.

Think you missed Sturridge

Don't hold yer breath.

If he doesn't do a Cout soon, many here will be crucifying him!

couth was not that good at shooting the ball until last season. I still remember 2 seasons ago he will firing up to the moon until some point BR told everyone on the pitch "Do not let him shoot the ball" and you know what happen next? he scored a screamer in that game. LEL deja vu ain't it.

observations from last night's game.

Coutinho is easily our best footballer. Looking back, what a bargain price we got him from Inter.

To me, Ibe is not ready to be first 11 every week. Hope to see Markovic getting a chance on the wing.

Our system needs to have 1 sitting DM in either Can or Lucas.

Finally, Clyne impressed me most on his debut. What a solid defender, with pace to go up front. such an upgrade from Glen.

2nd page. leave my mark here

Agree that Clyne played well, though I think Glen was good the first 2-3 seasons with us and was a goner after that. Probably age/confidence did not do him good.

Anyway, we have always struggled in Brittania Stadium and 1-0 on the opening day in a tough stadium is good.

agree on ibe, markovic was getting chances on wing last season though he play more as wing back. if markovic still didnt improve this season, we gonna have another flop. i'm partially giving up on lallana, i thought he was suppose to have no problem integrate into the team but it seem his contribution is really insignificant. firminho 15 mins appearance make more impact than lallana.

Ibe was too eager wanting to prove himself to BR as you get to read a lot of his comments prior the season started. That's show his good ambition but at the same time he need to slow down a little bit to look for his teammates at times.

Yeah

but Cout cost 9mil? Whereas Firminho costs 21mil rising to 27mil..thereby requiring less grace period!

my wtf moment on ibe, 4 stoke players surrounding him and he still didn't pass the ball out.

couth's price was 3 or 4 years ago when he was mostly unused sub while firmino makes his mark in his professional and national club. But ayam cukur we got 2 of them on our team. I was hoping for a german

cos he was completely blocked so cannot pass?
