That's it Cussie lad :ok:

Such yellow cards should be rescinded - when the ref clearly made a mistake

Only in hindsight.

Yes he has, we all have, who would've changed that winning team.

Arsenal are a well oiled machine, 100% fast, 2nd 3 years running in the Prem.

LUFC are a team building and in transition as we go along now, and in the toughest league in the world.

Reality.

He gave no yellow card to the Arsenal player who clattered Bogle in the first-half.

Research set pieces, not try to play out from the back, not have Piroe as a target man, change it up earlier, play big money signings over favourites

Still very poor goals to concede

Set pieces and ridiculous passing out from the back, that is something he could or should have worked on.

I think its now not a case of being effective. Its a case of getting top quality minutes in for as many as possible.

I know the likes of Arsenal are going to be a completely different test to Everton. Setting up the same is not going to work, that’s not hindsight.

We played some football in that game, we've played none today... still 4 goal defeat. I'd rather watch the attacking version plus Bielsa did it with up to 13 players out

I'm not making excuses, just making an observation.
