    The takeover was a few years ago. You have to keep spending these days. Stand still and you drop behind.

    Barnes tbh was the most puzzling signing

    Barnes yes. He’s not a very good all rounder.

    But Tonali and Tino will be good players for us.

    Livramento isn't an awful player, but 45 million was too much. Hes an athlete that can carry the ball and offer nothing else, Tonali doesn't want to be here ! seems overrated at this point and Barnes can't seem to play.

    Probably doesn't, when he keeps seeing Longstaff being picked ahead of him.

    Joelinton and Bruno can't play with longstaff either.. longstaff just runs around getting in areas... he has no ability on or off the ball and it's becoming tiresome that every other player is having to do his job at the expense of their own. He doesn't even put himself about in case he gets a knock and he avoids trying anything risky.

    He wasn't good enough before the takeover and he's going to be here for years more.

    Just tired of seeing the same crap week in week out.

    The club needs an overhaul.

    People are losing interest.

    They need to sell the club to the Americans and the Chinese, but they're trying to sell a boring side and a manager they've never heard of to them.

    Simply replacing Howe with a more marketable manager will gain interest overnight.

    They can't keep messing around with league two coaching teams that had a few good seasons at Bournemouth.

    Feels like since Mandy left things have gone to ****.

    Howe is safe as houses. They can’t afford to get rid anyways.

    Things will improve but we don't have to make excuses. One thing I've always done which you can confirm is that a credit when due and vice versa.

    Liverpool good well done
    Palace and Brentford ****e sort it out
