Flano and Davis were the two that stood out to me. Thought Goldson was having an immense game before that pass. Also think Gerrard's right too, as bad as that pass was. We should have dealt with it so much better

Was about to comment on that. He should get fined for that incident alone. Dreadful. If that was Jon Flanagan, he'd have taken the ball, brown and anyone else in the way

We weren't

Did he? I saw he said the club and manager were proud of the fans? Must have missed the uefa delegate tweet?

Marred??? They are ecstatic and rightly so. Love hearing that. If they were monotone and calm then I'd be asking where the passion is. Andy Little sounds like he's a out ready to run down and join in the celebrations... Love it.

Little known fact, but former Rangers brothers Kevin Prince Boateng and Jerome Boateng appeared on the same pitch at 2 world cups... Representing different nations.

He was tremendous. Couple of challenges. One where he stood back on the left kind of retreated and went in with a full hearted, throwing everything at it the way that Flanagan does. He then played it forward and started a potential counter attack. The challenge in the box was immense and for that challenge alone he deserves praise. His place to lose imo.

That was my take too, then I thought maybe he'd made 2 or 3 fouls? The booking for that incident seemed harsh imo.

Anybody good with Photoshop? 😂

What a guy. That was up there with his best performances imo. He was everywhere. Challenging, scored a goal, was aggressive, set up 2 I believe too? He looks like he's improving under Gerrard. His link up play looks better and he's still scoring goals. If he's still here and keeps his cool, too goalscorer again imo and what will his value be then? Defoe is an asset to have too and will have some game time, but Morelos is the no 1 striker at this club and will take some replacing imo.

Hope it continues... We've been absolutely brutal at corners for years.

Not sure how Grezda and Katic compare to Barisic? Grezda didn't play against us for Osijek and Katic was signed before this and played for a different team? Like the look of the RB and CB as folk have said... But then I thought Borna looked like a top drawer lb against us....

I'm no going to rant.... Proceeds to rant about the ref, fans and security.

Think that's very harsh. Start of last season in Europe we had a few nervy wins where we were keeping clean sheets because of McGregor. Last night we were berating the fact that we didn't get more goals because barring a couple of incidents we were all over progres. We should have had 4 or 5 last night imo

My thoughts exactly

Looks very good. I had some fear that he was a pointless signing... Looked more than comfortable in tavs absence.

He looked a class above as good a player as I'd seen against us in a long time. He caused us more problems than any Spartak, Villarreal or Rapid Vienna player.. and that's from left back.

Actually have so many mixed thoughts on Borna. Thought he looked world class against us. That left peg was unbelievable. Has vastly underachieved since he's been here. I'd say Halliday was our best lb last year, Flanagan next and then Borna. Despite this I believe Borna is the most talented lb at the club. I think he would be 3rd choice lb for Croatia if everyone is fit, despite that, shouldn't be lost that he's playing regularly for them. They are s good side and that shouldn't be understated. I've read some Croatian fans mention they believe this is their weakest position. All of that being said. Borna for me needs a full season under him, it would be silly to invest and give up now.

I get the gamble with most of the signings our managers have made. I even understand Pena and Herrera. If they don't work out the manager carries the can. Warburton signed some players who did well for us, I'd add Holt, windass and waghorn to the list too. He also signed some duds in Barton, kranjcar etc where he's admitted himself he felt the pressure to sign those names. The likes of o'halloran, dodoo and kiernan didn't work out too well, but Warburton in the championship did ok signing wise, unfortunately he didn't improve us in the premier League and the rest is history.

Don't think anyone is saying that he's done anything other than a nice bit of skill? It's clear he's a kid with potential and that's about it. Also with regards to Coulibaly, yes his initial performances probably caused a bit of over excitement, however those early performances for us were outstanding, do it's easy to see why. Lastly pretty sure judging someone on 10 games isn't enough and that's exactly what we did with Coulibaly.

I liked this and get what you're saying, but excitement or not, he like many other Warburton signings didn't work out. Managers are judged on the players they bring in, he like many others Warburton signed flopped. Most were excited by cardoso, alves, herrera and pena... If they don't do it on the pitch then the manager will be judged, i get the reasons differ, but Warburton picked a player with now injury problems who couldn't stay fit, so in my eyes he is accountable for the signing.

I was confused but just seeing this coming through now. Unless Liverpool or a club who want to spend serious cash come in, I can't see him going this year or next. That is of course barring any fallout with the board here.

1. Did you say the same thing about Kent on arrival as you did Ojo? Why can't Ojo be as good? I'm not saying he is btw, but also dont think you can rule anything out at this stage. 2. Jones couldn't get a game? Or Stewart? Both played regularly so not really following the logic there. 3. Don't know which arfield you were watching but I thought he was excellent all season. His role changed the latter part to get him further forward, but he was a great addition last season. The midfielder who struggled up to the last 6 games of last season was Davis, who wasn't match sharp, at the end of last season he was immense.

Must have missed that 👍

Take it you're starting Morelos 😂
