Exactly, Liverpool seemingly pick the same team each week. Only change the midfield or for injuries.

Difficult to say. I would need to be closer to the fire.
But let's assume it's one of Eriksen, Vertonghen, or Rose.
I would give Rose a pass given his mental fragility, and make a statement by sacking the biggest problem. Treat them like any other employee. Otherwise, we're just like any other weak club.
We talk about the potential of Mourinho taking over. I like him. I think he is a top manager. A proven winner. But he has fallen foul of player power in his last two jobs. If it can happen to him then it can definitely happen to Poch.
Poch has his flaws but today was proof that the root of all evil is with poisonous player attitudes in our first team. Why was today proof? Like Brighton or Colchester, any Spurs 11 should perform better regardless of the manager or the chairman.
He does however interfere with managment, and as we all know by know the board lent ears to the rebels who got Ramos and AVB alike sacked.
We lack a boss man in midfield. Have done for years.
Not sure who would want to work where you could be sacked for speaking your mind, though...takes a while to rebuild morale once a friend has been sacked (I had a friend made redundant and the place never recovered - I’ve left since and it still hasn’t!)
you could argue the last one was Carrick...
Stephen Clemance. #winner.
Might be making it clear in the media that they are all welcome to leave...might even be the way Janssen was banished, returned, and then sold on the cheap, or Llorente, or Trippier, or the treatment of Moura from semi to final.
seemed happy enough at the pre-seasons, mind. Could just be sad ‘cos they’re playing terribly...
Dembele
It's as hard as it's been for a long long time.
But it will make us stronger if we get through it.
Don't know what that means right now but I will do when it happens.

there hard to find, and players nowadays would cry if a player shouted at them,
when i played i had CM lad who would shout at you if you misplaced a pass, muck up again and he would punch you, i tried to stay as sub when i was in that team
Well that was painful.. What the hell was that? I really don’t know where we go from here.
If the players can’t react against Watford, after a 7-2 Hammering and then a 3-0 drubbing to Brighton, then we have bigger issues than first thought.
It’s gone horribly wrong and I can’t see it getting any better soon.

It's not caveman stuff, it's a method of maximising your chances of scoring a goal if you can employ it properly. I don't want us to play route 1 all the time. Just when the situation requires it. Today we pumped crosses in and had nobody to head it.
So that's all bases covered then!
Well done Lawro!
That's a fair point you make there.
Although because the chairman showed he couldn't give a shit about the team, it's clearly rubbed of on the manager.
And if the manager's lost his confidence in the chairman, he probably don't give a shit either.
And as the players can clearly see what's happening with the two above, then it goes a long way to explaining why they look lack lustre and disinterested too.
The rot runs from the top of the club to the bottom. That's the reality.
We have fuck off massive issues mate.
Far far bigger than most on here would like to admit.
Let's start with Watford - how can you give Welbeck a six when he was on the field for five minutes?
On to us. Harsh on Aurier and Dele. The first had a decent game, offered width, put in decent crosses. Gets a 6.5-7 in my book. The latter was our most lively player over the 90 minutes, the one most likely to. Not close to his best but a good performance. 7 from me.
Hard on Lamela too, he made us look a lot more threatening, for his half hour on the pitch, he gets a 7 too.
Weird how Sony gets MotM, we improved with him, clearly, but he's in the same area as Lamela for me.
Generous on Toby and Rose Id'd say
nail. Head.
Pumping crosses in is caveman stuff. It is a complete failure of coaching.
