At least then it would have forced the board to question what they're doing. As it is, we have no more points and it just prolongs the agony of having RM as manager.
Today showed again that 1 rapid counter attack will create a better chance than 90 mins of turgid possession. Expect that lesson to be ignored by RM, just like he ignores the countless lessons that it's too risky for us to play out from the back against a PL side.
The glimpses of what we could do under a decent manager (and with a centre forward in the team) are actually torture. It just shows the opportunity that's being wasted by RM. It would be better to just play pure RM style and suffer a few heavy defeats, but then quickly get shot of him. |  | | |  |

I was thinking along those lines in as much as no one expected a win but the scoreline will be looked upon as a decent result against the champions elect, and could well save RM's job for another few weeks.
Well ok, he'll still probably be here when we are down by the end of March, but to have the audacity to take a 2-1 lead will be looked on as a positive (although a bit lucky with the pen)! And then back to norm with stupid mistakes to bu66er up any slight ray of hope we may have had |  | | |

Liverpool 1st summed it up for me. 25 minutes where we looked fairly comfy. Then our keeper gets it. He can wait til everyone clears the box, maybe slow the game down and give us a breather.
Oh no...
He quickly rolls it out to a player facing him, in a crowded box. Liverpool were waiting and pounced on fernandes immediately. 5 seconds later it's in our net. From absolutely nothing.
Can anyone, anyone at all, tell me what the benefit is in giving it to a player who has no idea what's behind him, in a crowded penalty area surrounded by top players who are currently the best in the league.
What were we thinking would happen?
The reason is they are told to do that by Martin. Every week we give away cheap goals. It's utterly incomprehensible.
You wouldn't do that at under 12's level. |  | | |

I was saying the same: "Schoolboy teams are coached better than that." |  |

Absolutely right. The thing that really annoys me is that RM isn't even coaching the tippy tappy game well. We shouldn't be playing tippy tappy but if we're going to then at least coach it properly.
In this case, as you rightly say, Fernandes was not in space and was facing our goal. The ONLY options he had was to pass it back towards our goal. To have done anything else would be suicidal. From there, all that Downes or AM would be able to do is clear it, which Downes tried to do and failed. So why didn't AM just clear it in the first place? Why bother with the totally unnecessary bit of tippy tappy inbetween?
For a well coached, highly skilled team, tippy tappy can work. But ours don't have the skill and don't even seem to be coached in how to do it properly. | | | |
