Deserved.

That 1st half is going to take some explaining. Much better this half, but Gillingham are just as likely to hit us on the break and 0-2 will be game over.

Both City vs Liverpool games are going to be absolute stonkers!

Better this half, though not at all difficult, and we've hit the post. It's going to be one of them days but only have our 1st half performance to blame. We're a side that is trying to play Barcelona football but have nothing up front other than Jones, a player ultimately out of position.

Good to see Sterling getting back to what he threatened he could be a couple of years ago. The kid pissed me off obviously with what he did to Liverpool, after what they had done for him, but he's taken a beating left, right and centre ever since, and it can't be easy for a young lad to have to...

It looked a bang average signing at best, sure, but I'm always willing to give a player a clean slate, even a Stoke supporter as he is. But he's quite simply not good enough, not fit enough and has as much goal threat about him as roadkill would have if somebody dragged a dead Donkey on to the...

It's not, and there lies the problem. Too much is expected of Jones and Forrester, two very promising but young strikers that are learning the game. Between them, Patersen and Cicilia are no doubt taking up the wage of a decent and experienced forward. Forrester is badly missed.

If you try to attack Liverpool you're gonna have to score 4 or even 5 goals to win the game, because they'll tear you a hole with the speed and movement they have up front and out wide. Their problem is when teams get their noses in front and then put everyone behind the ball, as Burnley did to...

Terrible half from us. Gillingham have been solid (far from brilliant) and more than deserve their lead. We haven't turned up yet and Bruno needs to shove a rocket up some collective holes. I'd rather Smurf start himself up front than Patersen. He really is awful, little shitbag fucktard.

Same pal. Though anyone who knows anything about football knows that at this level Dack and Emmanuel-Thomas are quality players and would be certainties in any combined side in this league. Wagstaff and our Foley our two 'busy' players, not without some quality, and there's probably little...

Just for a bit of fun - Bond (Just because of his surname) Purkiss Streete Smith Konchesky Thomas Grant Dack Foley Emmanuel-Thomas Jones Would definitely be a top 3 side that. And yes, it's obviously a biased 11, so don't get your knickers in a twist!

Nice weather, good pitch, should suit us today. Not sure how much of a footballing team Gillingham are, but from recent seasons I remember them more for their physical side than anything else. Not saying there's anything at all wrong with that as Bury were more physical and put 4 past us -...

Liverpool were outstanding and were worthy winners, although they did their best to shoot themselves in the foot again in the 2nd half. I wasn't sure why Klopp signed Wijnaldum as I didn't think he was needed, but he definitely had his best game in a Liverpool shirt last night, even if a goal...

We'll smash the cretins. Nah, it will be a difficult game tomorrow as Gills have a pretty good side on paper, especially up top. I was never one of those who rated Billy Knott during his short stay at the club. He's busy, sure. But so is a bumble bee. The obvious threat will come from JET and...

So by your theory you're not allowed to praise a somewhat average player for having a very good game? Strange.

Also worth mentioning how solid James Milner was at left-back. I admit, I used to think he was a pretty crap footballer and felt like leaving my girlfriend and moving to some far away country the day he signed for us. It was even worse for me than when we signed Stewart Downing! But he's proven...

They didn't control the game at all. They had a bit more of the game overall, perhaps 60/40, as to be expected for the home side, even more so a decent one. Overall, for me, we were well worth the point and got our just rewards at the end. We're very much a work in progress but it's clear that...

I'd be tempted to play him up front while Forrester is out and have Shalaj and Thomas playing out wide supporting him, leaving a very strong looking midfield three of Grant, Tavares or Amoros, and Foley. Patersen just isn't up to it to be starting games, the same goes for Cicilia who is very...

I'd complain, because we deserved a point out of the game. Sure, you had a bit more of the game as to be expected at home. I'd expect us to take the game to you at Vale Park. But we dug in when we had to, created some chances and for me every bit deserved the equalizer at the end. Without...

How good has Lallana been lately? I've always defended him despite the fact that he frustrates with his lack of end product, but it's always been clear he has ability. He should be getting into double figures goal wise based on his ability and it's very nice that he's starting to add goals to...
