All on him.

I knew we weren't winning when I saw the line up. ****e.

See previous post.

The ref was an absolute disgrace.

The key is to not make the ref a factor.

Better side won.

He was dire from both side's perspectives.

These five points dropped are all on him. He's ****.

Our first loss since March. You're ****.

That was a poor performance, and to be honest I think it had been coming, I don’t think we’ve been as good as we’ve made out previously we’ve just got the results, today we didn’t.

For me the blame has to lie with Rodgers I’m not sure what he was thinking starting 4 CBs. Our system relies on the full backs to bring the ball out from the back and get involved in build up play, neither Toure nor Sakho looked comfortable doing that and our game suffered as a result. I know Johnson is out and Wisdom hasn’t looked great but those decisions were puzzling. Also I thought the midfield looked slow and lethargic, a bad day at the office all around.

Soton don't care.....they done their job, so the fault must be at our doorstep.

Brendan's had a ****ing mare over the past week.

Your usual Manager of the Month brain fart. Hopefully that's the end of that hoodoo. And Brendans mental episode.

Other than the usual six of MUFC, MCFC, AFC, CFC, THFC & EFC, I thought the teams we would most likely drop points to are Swansea & Soton.

Put simply they press high and they keep the ball very well. No other teams in the league adopt their style. We will I have no doubts now go on a winning run and people will wonder why we were so poor in the past two games.

Crap.

We always play well in the 2nd half of the season because we have nothing to play for and the pressure is off. It's the same every year.

I think some of the 1-0's have been a tad fortunate, we played half the games and relied on the defence.

For me two worries

1) the midfield of Lucas and Gerrard - it's not working and this may seem controversial but we need to start looking to replace both.

2) Theres no goals in the team - whats the average 1 goal a game? we don't really look like scoring many goals, we're not making many chances also. the lack of attacking signings is going to cost us.
