And stupid.

Replacing Gollini with a keeper with even less experience? ****ing ridiculous. Is it just because he's English? Biggest mistake Bruce has made.

I just can't fathom how Bruce has decided to switch to a system that removes the need for one of our most effective players in Adomah, and absolutely necessitates the inclusion of one of the worst, most rash centre backs I've ever seen in Tommy Elphick.

We have 3 CBs in our squad, one of them is absolutely muck, and we're now moving to a system with 3 CBs (he has said in an interview after the game that he's going to persevere with the system). Anyone have any idea what Bruce is even considering? His record per game is almost as bad as Di Matteo's now.

I thought there were a lot of positives about last night. We looked much better. Grealish and Johnstone made individual errors that cost the game. Their keeper was top notch yesterday. If we had 8 shots on target exactly like tonight we'd hit 3 or 4. First time I've seen Hogan and he is decent on the ball and has pace.

I think the new system will work. The big loser will be Adomoh who has played well, but Grealish needs to be dropped. Hope the Gil deal doesn't go through. His lack of pace and strength was always going to hinder him but he always worked and watching him in Spain a few times, he's a far better player than Grealish ever will be.

We're 2 draws and 5 defeats from the last 7 games. Finding it extremely difficult to be positive about anything right now.

Yeah I feel the same now, so so depressing.

A positive considering a lot of Irish people are Liverpool fans and a lot of them were on their high horse this year about them gonna win the Premiership, clutching at straws but you have to find amusement somewhere plus Palace & Benteke got a good hammering aswell

Reading a stat that we haven't won a single game without Jedinak in the lineup.

Granted I haven't fact checked this.

We've won very few WITH Jedinak in the lineup.

I live in hope that we'll win a game in 2017.
