Along with Gomez
Probably up there with the worst of Harry Maguire performances
He was shocking and will be nowhere near any England team.

Proof that playing the game doesnt make you more knowledgable???

Maybe this is the plan all along, play rubbish for us so they dont get picked for the WC ??

It is fun laughing at Liverpool. God knows, other fans have been laughing at United for long enough (and rightly so). However, genuinely, what is going wrong?

Liverpool still have a decent forward line, despite losing Mane (granted, Nunez has yet to prove himself). But Salah seems a shadow of his normal self, since well before Mane left (probably since the African Cup of Nations). From a form perspective, and from someone who simply watched as a non-Liverpool fan and thus not analysing him in any depth, he almost seems to have turned into Daniel James (I know, that is harsh, sorry.....Daniel). The midfield have never looked that spectacular on paper, despite fans singing the praises of some of those midfielders. They have always worked hard, and were a good link between a solid defence and potent attack, I just didn't see them as having outstanding technical quality. Are they past their sell by date? And, the defence look to have been atrocious. TAA seems to now have been exposed as a terrible defender, despite those arguing otherwise not so long ago. Gomez might not be as good as some people told us he was, or at least gone backwards in his development due to injuries and lack of football. And VVD doesn't seem to have the ability to tackle, or close people down. Is he now being exposed because he is not getting the protection in front and to the side of him anymore (in the same way Harry Maguire has been exposed)?

To be fair, it is still early season. They've won one game 9-0, and maybe they'll scrape a few wins, get some confidence, and then go on to win about 10-15 games in a row. However, as we stand now, the signs must be worrying for Liverpool fans. Although I'm happy enough to see them struggle, from a draft fantasy football point of view it is killing me, with Robertson and Allison in my team. A couple of weeks ago I tried to do a cheeky swap with another manager, he gives me Salah and I give him Lingard. He refused, I wonder if he is regretting that decision? :)

sounds like Potter to Chelsea is a done deal

wonder who Brighton will replace him with?
It's one of those rare occasions where a manager is going into a club that is in a great position. Everything is in place, there is no despair, no morale to boost, egos to fluff. It is a great job for someone.

A quick check online suggests the Celtic manager is on the radar for Brighton.

Hope so as i think it will be detrimental to both clubs!:sneaky:

Chelsea's players will think that Potter is not good enough to tell them what to do and Brighton are in the position they are now simply because of what Potter has created.

All being well Potter will be our Manager by the end of the season.... Happy days! :D
