I really don't know what you're trying to argue? That Balogun and Lundstram would've made a difference today? If you want to cling to that position, I'll leave you too it. I don't get it. We've been poor all season with every conceivable combination. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the one consolation: we're still getting decent results, despite playing poorly. We need an injection of something (legal). 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, they've been poor. Bottom of the league? But, our performances don't give me much confidence at the moment... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to imagine they wouldn't have made a difference frankly. i don't think i am being particularly controversial saying our 2 best players from Thursday should have played here. especially given how poor the players who played instead of them were today or on Thursday.

We did swat them aside recently. TBH i would make a lot of changes and take our chances. play what would conventionally considered a second string. Though a few would be the same players from today in that. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point is that the whole team -- and every conceivable combination of players -- have been poor. Lundstram had a 20 minute cameo on Thursday, but otherwise has been disappointing. I'm not sure he should be replacing Davis, Kamara or Aribo at this stage. Balogun has to play every game now with Helander out, which is unreasonable at his age. Claiming that it's "wrong" that these guys were rested is silly, to me. That's the last I'll say on the matter. The whole team is not clicking yet. I now need to collect my nerves for Wednesday... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole team is not clicking yet. I now need to collect my nerves for Wednesday... let's not downplay Lundstrom because it doesn't suit. He was our best midfielder start to finish. Might have got the MOTM on here in our hardest game of the season so far. Dropping him after that especially with the fuss Gerrard has made about him in the press was a shock to me. Balogun was the best player in either team on Thursday and is 33, are we saying he can't manage two games running here. I said it was a mistake for me. I remain of that opinion. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
