They were all games with the second string out weren't they and it's not like the League Cup is a priority and as much as you'd want to win the Europa League you have to be able to rest and rotate otherwise you're adding 13(or 15?) games to your first team's schedule to get there. Cupsets happen, Bradford beat Chelsea, Boro beat City, MK Dons wiped the floor with United and Sheffield United were beating us on away goals with 5 minutes to go. As much as the Carlisle result was funny(to me, anyway) I don't think it's that big of a deal. A second string drawing away at Bordeaux isn't that bad in my opinion although the Sion one was poor even for a weakened side.

All I'm saying is that it really wasn't as bad as you make out. Some of those draws could have easily been wins on another day and as has been pointed out since the start of the season, you've had some especially tough away games to start in the league.

We had 2 points from 8 games with Ramos. That kind of form is what should lead to an early sacking, not 12 from 8. Even Chelsea aren't panicking with just 8 points.

But some of those wins, could easily have been draws... the win against Stoke was won by a long range strike.. Bournemouth a dodgy goal and Villa well, 3-2 could easily be a draw.

As many have said though, it's not just the results.... no one has enjoyed watching us for a season and 8 games now. Last year, we were dull... this year, we're still dull. There is no excitement to our play.

Now whether the owners care about that is different matter, but to us fans, performance is more important than results a lot of the time. We all watch the game to be entertained, and us fans are bored with the way we've been playing and it's been that way far too long.

Also, 1 trophy in 10 years.... the LC should be a bloody priority because we should be winning things. Rest players for the Europa league... would you rest players for the CL? No... (unless you're Wenger). You play your best team in CL otherwise what's the point and the same should be in the Europa. What's the point of getting in it then not trying to win it... an extra 13/15 games to the season? So....? It's only 2 more games than there would be if you went all the way in the CL.

You win the game, then rest key players... or win the group and rest players. If we'd have won the first 2 games, you could win 1 more than start resting players... people should not be tired and need resting 5 -10 games into the season.

Although I am slightly sad that it didn't work out for Brod and we've had to part ways, I am really excited about what is on the horizon and who will be leading the way. Although we're not in a bad position in the leagues and cup competitions, we desperately needed a change.

this is the thing.. we're not doing awful, but obviously not great.. and performances have been the main issue.. but this is a chance to hire someone that is going to unite the fans and get excitement back into everyone associated with the club.

Ocacssionally we've attained bland mediocrity in the last 18 months.

Well done FSG. Sincerely. That takes bottle to sack your man after giving him millions just a month or two ago. he should have gone after Stoke, but as it is, I'm please Klopp will get some time to work with the players before January. Hopefully he can get the best now out of Firmino and Benteke and Lovren will almost definitely be shown the door

Or perhaps he can get something better out of Lovren as well? Good luck and hope you go far in the Europa and meet Spurs in the semis. Want Athletic to win that but don't think they will.

That's one smug looking tadpole.Hope there's a dragonfly nymph behind it.

Tadpole? Socking...

Axolotls are unusual among amphibians in that they reach adulthood without undergoing metamorphosis. Instead of developing lungs and taking to land, the adults remain aquatic and gilled

They're a not fully developed salamander

I don't think people would be unhappy with either though... maybe a preference but if the other got it, would still unite I imagine.

Now if someone else got it... different story lol.

I'm 'socked' by that news. Smug looking amphibian then. Don't suppose the dragonfly nymph {or great diving beetle - they're ace too} will ask too many questions as it devours the ****er.

Someone like Mourinho or Simeone (not going to happen) wouldn't unite us <laugh>

Totally agree,we will all differ on who we would prefer for various reasons out of the two of them, but, none of us would be gutted if it was the other choice.

Anything but ****ing pullis though <laugh>
