I generally like your posts and forthright opinions, but I have to say you're being very petty and negative of late. We won with a clean sheet today and you're still moaning about the manager and players. I don't mind people being negative, but at least be balanced with your views.

If we were sticking with three at the back, I think Wisdom, whom is stuck between being a CB & a RB would be ideal. Whilst the same applies to Illori I feel, who is rapid and good on the ball. For sure they'll be here in the summer and we can judge them then.

My thoughts exactly for Wisdom, but like I say I haven't really seen enough of Illori to know whether he is a better option.

Haven't seen enough of Illori myself either tbh, just go off what I've heard. His description fits, but in this league you have to be a very strong player to be at the back otherwise you get found out and bullied by the countless lumps in this league. We need a blend between strength and artistry because without either we struggle.

Entitled to your opinion, as ever I don't agree with much you say

That's my worry with Illori, as he has no experience of this league, is he physical enough not to be bullied by attackers.

We can all say what we want, but don't you think it looks daft when you're moaning about our defence after we've kept a clean sheet and limited them to one chance all game? People are quick to moan about Rodgers when he gives a positive interview after a ****e display (fair) but they are quick themselves to moan about the team after a good result and performance (unfair).

I guess as he matures he's more likely to fill out and be capable. But you only find out after they've been tested. Sometimes it's not just a players strength, it's their character. Aggressive players handle themselves much better even if they're sleight in size.

Our pressing, Lucas and Hendo in the middle, Markovic and Moreno on acid, and their lack of any attacking presence, created the perfect storm needed for Mignolet to keep a clean sheet

True

I would just like to have seen him be loaned out to a PL club where we could have kept an eye on him and see how he got on, and if he struggled or made mistakes they were at someone elses expense

I'm very happy with the performance today and the clean sheet, It's only one though in a season of countless calamities following on from last seasons countless calamities. When he's shown he's finally sorted out the defense for good I'll praise him for it. Bit early now though isn't it, it's just a start.

If we can keep more of them that'll be great. I'm also a bit pissed off that Lucas might be off as I think he's a big part of any hope we have of defensive tightness being maintained along with keeping Sakho in the team and Lovren out of it.

To be fair I wouldn't mind the countless calamities continuing as long as we were scoring goals for fun and hopefully that'll happen soon. Not sure that approach would ever win anything though but its great fun to watch and be a part of.

Defend & attack as a team

I though Migs kicks today would negate us creating attacks from the back, but thankfully it didn't.

Fair enough

We could have quite easily conceded at the end of the game. It was panic stations at the back again when simple balls were lumped into the box. No ****er can head the ball.
