The point is changing things we know aren't working.

Chong isn't the answer....

“"How many teams break Wolves down? there's not many, We've played them 3 times on the bounce and we've had 3 clean sheets"
“I’m happy with my boys”

this man does not have a winners mentality.

I’ve been thinking about this

The squad is absolute £#%&!. Should be just slag em all every week?

So what would a ‘winner’ be saying?

That today wasn’t good enough
The players need to take a long hard look at themselves this winter break and focus on coming back and putting things right
That we have taken 4 points from a possible 15 which is not up to the required standard of this club
That we owe it to the fans to win games and make them proud.
They can be no excuses as Liverpool have more than double the amount of points as us.

not bullshit about how proud he is and the boys have given their all.

He says those things all the time mate. Unlike Mourinho though, I think he’s realised those can’t be the only things he says. Also, I’m assuming you watched the City game, so if you wanted a glimpse of the types of things being said behind closed doors, there you have it.

I really like Jiminez at Wolves, the type of striker who if he was not 29 in the Summer would be near enough ideal for Rashford and another dynamic attacker to play off.

indeed.

he didn't actually score against us, of course, but nothing highlights what our team is lacking quite like playing against a team with a mobile, skilful, solid centre forward.

Wolves have given Liverpool more of a game recently than most PL sides have, they're no mugs.

the goal that jiminez scored against them.... we haven't seen its like for many a year.

People still making excuses for Martial

Crucial partner to Rashford
Playing with back to goal
No service

Okay, they may all have been clownbones but still. he's shit and should be out in the summer. The experiment, the much touted potential, is over.

I said earlier that even with Bruno signed, I can't see where the goals are coming from. A lot of pressure on Ighalo but hopefully he can put Martial on the bench.

Also, thought Fernandes arriving would see the back of Lingard and Pereira. Instead we get both of them

"needs help".

£#%&!ing hell, if we're really going to put up with a striker who can't run about, won't break a sweat and needs all the help in the world, I'd rather start giving out the position to make-a-wish applicants and start reaping some sweet sweet Karma than having to watch that miserable French @#%&! every week.

Only because Matic was suspended. Neither will play when him & The Scottish Player are available

It's not excusing him. He was poor and he needs to do better.

We also need to play to our better players strengths.

It can be both. And it is.

This.

I don't believe for a moment that Ole believes either are up to standard.

If Ole is still there at the end of the summer window, those two will be gone or reduced to squad players at best.

I think Ole's reaction to Lingard giving the ball away the other night tells us all we need to know about what he thinks of him.

His love of Pereira is a little more concerning. I don't think Matic is a shoo-in for a start because he was fit earlier in the season and didn't play.

If we have a selection of Pogab, Mctom, fred and Fernandes, then I'd like to think that Perreria and Lingard have no business being in any best 11 from there.

And that's before we get into any signings this summer.

I don't think Ole has a blind spot for them anyway.

So, what people have been saying all season then.
