THIS is what the world looks like when everyone fucking gives up and late stage Capitalism rules supreme.
Shite.
The Keepeher: 8
Was really good with his feet. Like Michael Flatley. My mate got tickets for him and his wife to see Flatley on the Riverdance Tour. Restricted view. On the Friday before he told me about the tickets being a restricted view. Row two, What can be restricted there, fucking bellends.
On the Monday, what was it like Tony? Fucking hell mate, row two, could only see his head. Two fucking hours of some bellend fucking smiling and wobbling his head about. Hahaha.
Made some great saves second half.
Hoever: 7
Struggled first half. In that he looked like a 17-year-old playing his second game as opposed to the second greatest centre half in Europe. Scored a good goal second half and played much better.
Joey Gomez: 7
Head and shoulders above everyone else on the pitch. Funny these games. Some players need to be surrounded by good players, others just stand out because they are well better than everyone else.
Degsi: 5
Jesus Christ. I mean, these are shite. The ground is flat, Degsi covers and it is 80/20 in his favour to a ball over the top, he somehow falls over, cry’s for a foul, doesn’t get it, ends up looking on as they nearly score. Shite. I mean, he is shite, isn’t he? Like really shite.
He continued his shiteness throughout the second half and really didn’t relent from it. Cleared one off the line.
Milner: 8
Scored, didn’t he? Was downstairs having a bevy. Had to play next to Lovren so probably deserves another point.
Oxlad: 6
Looks like he doesn’t know what to do anymore. With his body and his legs and the ball. Which is a shame. Hopefully just working through some rust. Like a big bowl of WD-40. Unlucky with the one against the post.
Lallana: 7
Weak as a kitten whenever he was challenged. Tried to roll their man as the deepest midfielder a few times but lost the ball. Don’t see how he plays that position in a proper game against proper people. Kept it well, mind you.
Much better when he was not playing as the deepest midfielder. Finished.
Naby: 7
You want more, don’t you? But then it’s his first game back in a few months max. He was neat and tidy for 60. That will do, won’t it?
Harvey Elliot: 8
Lovely touch, hasn’t he? Glides across the pitch. Should score with the one against the bar. Won’t be long till he’s starting for The Reds.
Curtis Jones: 7
Seen Jones on the teamsheet and didn’t have a clue who he was. Which is a shame. Soz abar me. Was good, though. Looked bright. Would like to see him and Brewster get a go in the proper side. See how good they are.
Brewster: 7
Fed on scraps. Worked hard, but nothing much to go on. See above.
Subs:
Some lads I’ve never heard of or didn’t know were still at the club.

This is what the world looks like when democratic decisions are ignored and hypocrites who usually use inflammatory language get upset when they are on the receiving end of that same thing. And capitalism has raised 2 billion people out of poverty since 1970.
Not a great performance but overall not too much to be upset about, though disappointed with the senior players. Lallana is a goner and I’m starting to worry about Ox. I don’t actually think he was great before his injury, he just got injured in a great run of form, meaning perceptions are somewhat altered. It was Naby’s first game back so can’t be too harsh, but he looked like just another player. He’s going to have to start producing week in week out now, or he’s going to be a major disappointment.
It tells you how well Matip is playing to keep Gomez out of the first 11, yet at the same time we are much more shaky defensively in the first 2 months of this season than we were for the first 2 months of last seen, with Joe at CB. Don’t know what to make of it.
The kids were the real positives. Elliot could save us £50mil next year. Brewster and Jones didn’t have much service in dangerous areas but look sharp and tidy. Hoever had difficult moments but got a goal.
Could have done with a handier draw to give all the kids another go…
‘THIS is what the world looks like when everyone fucking gives up and late stage Capitalism rules supreme.’ This sentence is obviously related to the above picture of Harvey’s top knot and not a general statement about our joke of a government.
Also, who says the kids won’t get another go in the next round?
“Head and shoulders above everyone else on the pitch.” But also only getting a rating that’s joint-second-highest with 5 other players? Mad rating, that. Still, 7 seems about right and he was nowhere near the best player on the pitch.
Degsi: 5? Confirmation bias. He was excellent second half. It must be cool
to hate poor Dejan.
Jones/Brewster: 7? Neither will play more than 15 games for the club
and probably considerably lesss than that. Nowhere near.
Hoever, Elliot look like they have a chance.
Other than that most ratings spot on.
Always a good read mate.
