HALF-TIME

Hull 1-0 Liverpool

Klopp out...

 

Are they seriously saying that ?!?!?

 

What has happened to Sunderland? 4 up at half time. I know Palace have been s*** but 0-4 !

Some crazy results today!

 

Too right. What about Brentford v Brighton today. Looked like Brentford were going to win it 2-0, then Brighton came back to equalise. Brentford (90+4) then went ahead in injury time to be followed by a last gasp (90+7) Brighton equaliser!!!!! 3-3

 

Must have been a cracker of a game.

I knew Brighton brought it all square late at 2-2 but until about an hour ago I assumed it had finished that way!

Well! Last night we started off like world beaters, scored and promptly took our foot off the gas allowing Brum to see how many times they could hit the woodwork before scoring.

 

I think the final scoreline flattered us a little, although despite their possession I never felt under too much threat from Brum. The ref was poor IMO, giving far too many soft decision away.

 

Delighted that Rhodes scored on his home debut ( thanks Garage Joe ). So that is 1 assist and 1 goal in two games.

 

Both Rhodes and Winall look good additions to the squad.

 

3-0. Just under 25,000 fans, only 120 Brum fans on a cold but entertaining evening. Now I have a full Saturday to drink coffee in coffee shops, buy music and blu-rays and relax as the rest of the football leagues battle it out.

Tonight we were quite poor. In my opinion Blackburn deserved something out of the game.

 

Our passing ability has deserted us and when we do pass the ball we give it away, usually through a player trying something fancy instead of keeping it simple.

 

Carlos needs to get them on the training ground tomorrow and practice the basics.

 

Have to say though that Vincent Sasso's two goals were pretty good, especially the first and he plugged away at every set piece trying to get his hat-trick.

 

5.5 out of 10.

"Premier League champions Leicester City can use their FA Cup win over Derby to kick-start their season, says midfielder Andy King".

 

I have heard this many times over the years and in this case I don't believe it. I suspect they will end up in a relegation battle to the end of the season.

 

^ this. 

Then we had the same type of comment prior to their Champions League game, but they lost.

 

Now they have lost their manager.

Sheffield Wednesday v Norwich City

 

Well, I did not expect that one bit. Gone the slow and ponderous start and in comes a team very much on the front foot. The best I have seen at home in a while now. The mistake by Ruddy giving Wallace his opener seemed to be the catalyst to kick on. Forestieri's free kick was a cracker (I called it as everyone thought Wallace was going to take it). I was a bit surprised by Norwich as I see them as a strong side in the league. Good support from Norwich bumping the attendance to just over 28,000.

Aitor Karanka: Middlesbrough sack manager after three and a half years

 

Now I don't doubt there will be plenty of fans disgruntled at the league position and form, but I have to say that if relegation happens Aitor looked well qualified to do a Newcastle and get a straight promotion. I don't see what the big issue is to spend a season in the Championship. Surely working towards being a Stoke, Southampton or Swansea is a good direction to be going in.

 

I'm sure we will get a view from the terraces when Garage Joe returns from his hols.

That was another lacklustre performance by the Owls last night. Reading were very negative and as soon as they got their goal there was only going to be one pattern of play.

 

I know we are missing four key players, players that have been very influential, but surely the players coming in should see it as their opportunity. But alas no.

 

Our defence is also looking shakey, Loovens' form is not good and Jack Hunt is less than popular. We sorely miss Hutchinson.

 

I think that we are now looking at next season and should be thinking of a complete overhaul of the defence and inject more steel and impetus into midfield. 

Looking like a limp end to the season.
