This narrative against Morelos from the commentators and now fucking five minutes spent about it at half time is an absolute fucking joke.

Boyd's fucking ridiculous here.

This is part of the issue that there’s certain players that you can’t critique against. Morelos hasn’t looked arsed since we came back, he absolutely deserves every bit of criticism coming his way at the moment.

Kamberi up top with morelos, change the shape and hit the front 2 with runners going beyond..... I can see it, everybody who watches us can see it..... How the manager doesn't see it is beyond me. 

This 100%.

Take Davis off when aribo, Kent and hagi who are there to create are doing the square root of fuck all? Get a grip mate. 

Anyone of them can come off and I wasn't just picking on Davis however I'd say it's more likely that Hagi, Kent or Aribo will create something if there was more happening up front. 

[Jb85 1,783]

Can we stop crossing the ball into the box please. No one wins anything.

First time in my life I’ve turned our game off at half time 

At least after this, super Sunday gets a bit better with Chelsea v Everton and the Manchester derby mate.  Hard watch so far.

I decided to go out with the family rather than watch this. Was my 2-1 to Ross County prediction ambitious in so far as we dont look like we can score a goal?

We've had a few chances. Kamara and Davis have had a couple of decently struck shots from the edge of the box but were right down the keeper's throat so didn't really threaten. Alfie has had a couple of half chances with a few goal-mouth scrambles.

We were denied a stonewall penalty for handball. The ref didn't have a good view but the nearside linesman should have given it but he's given us fuck all all game.

Had to turn off as everything is so predictable- ruins my sodding day.

Leverkusen must be delighted to see this pish 

Leverkusen wont be watching this. Theres no need to. Watch one of our games from the past 2 months and you'll see the same shite.

What midfield, we have 3 sitting mids against ross fucking county lol

Exactly, we need Aribo and Kamara driving intothe box.

Personally I don't have too much of a problem with that. It's ou lack of goals throughout the team that's worrying. The scum have managed for years playing one main striker. The difference is that their midfielders and and even defenders are contributing. Our players outwith the strikers don't score nearly enough goals which means that when our main man up front is mis-firing, as he is just now, then we're going to go through periods where we struggle to score.

However the bigot isn't afraid to change things,Gerrard seems incapable of change. He's watching the same turgid pish as we are but can't seem to see the obvious i.e. it's not working.

Normally back Morelos to the hilt but he is lucky not to be booked in the first half.

We need a goal.

Not sure where all these "this is truly awful", "we are absolutely shite" comments etc. are coming from.

Completely in control.

Denied certain penalty.

They haven't had a chance.

We've had two or three good opportunities.

If this was a game completely in isolation and no cunt had any clue what had come before it you don't look at that first half with the despair all of you miserly cunts are doing.

But its not in isolation, its the same crap everyone has watched since winter break, have all the ball and no penetration, their keeper has had one proper save to make, we're throwing pointless balls into the box with no strikers to even go for them 

[ritchieshearercaldow 22,158]

Sad day when we live in hope of a win

Management and team hoping for the best.

If that's the theory better taking goldson or Edmundson off then

People on here moaning about the doom and gloom posters like were the problem haha.

Gerrard will keep playing the same formation with the same tactics of hit the wings then punt it in and the wee fanboys will still stand up for him.

Well what’s the solution? 

It’s all well slating the choice of tactics, but what’s the alternative. You don’t game plan assuming your tactics won’t work. 

[corkinator 611]

They’ve gave up!

It's looking shite tbh , but I think weve a couple of goals in us . 

Lose the first one though and we could struggle .

Rubbish. Not one decent ball into the box again. Multiple miss placed passes. No penetration with the midfield playing safe side to side passes meaning players can't be arsed to make a run in behind becuase their never getting the ball. 

I've genuinely stopped reading your post after the bit in bold.

So just to nip your bullshit post in the bud straight away - Barisic put a "decent" ball right onto Morelos' head and he headed wide. Such a "decent" ball that Boyd at half time is saying Morelos must score.

A get what ye mean mate although I’m not interested in what the scum do, I take yer point. Mine was more, our one and only tactic seems to be, whip a hopeful ball into the lone striker in the box. We have struggled this year, a change In tactics has been needed for far too long

We are exemplary at getting players in who are good at delivering a ball and then turning them to shite. Been that way nearly my entire life.

Yeah, but it's the fact that we so it so often. You watch good outfits and there's rarely the kind of crosses we repetitively put in, whether it's England, Germany or wherever. Even sellic rarely do it. It's like we don't know how to, or don't trust our ability to, work through them on the deck. 

[gmcf 34,265]

Kamberi for Kent for me .

They ain't hoping for anything. They don't look like they even care enough to hope.

[j1mgg 3,766]

A lot of people would just be better checking the score later on

[Creampuff 22,628]

If this is how Gerrard wants to play then why on Earth didn’t we just go out and spend on a striker who is dominant in the air?
