Upon waking her up for school: "Dad, maybe it's not just the manager, it's all the other people. And because we keep losing, we just think deep down before anything happens that we are going to lose again and again."

Heitinga couldn't have been worse than this. Thanks for the parting gift Don Fabio.

Joe Hart seems a great guy.

All the more reason to not let Tudor take it.

Someone that plays a back 4 would be a start. Someone who has some ability to rally the players. Who knows.

Needs to go tonight to give new guy time for Forest. Anfield isn't likely in best of situation so it's time to get rid of this nonsense.

10.03.2026 22:06 πŸ‘ 2 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

Yes. Leave them off until Forest.

Have to be off immediately. For once TNT announcers saying something sane about how poor the protocols are in football around head injuries.

He made the decision. Stand by it and support your player. Embarrassing. He should be left in Spain.

Managers have huge egos and someone will think they can save it.

It seems Spence is standing up for Kinsky etc

I'm confident that @dannybkelly.bsky.social would have fired Tudor at the same moment that the 3rd goal went.

Instead of watching a meaningless match, I get to offer 5 postgraduate students full scholarships to study at Edinburgh Uni.

Maybe these players all loved Daniel Levy? Has anyone thought about that?

I'd like to thank whoever organised the scholarship committee panel for Wednesday afternoon next week, which stopped me from foolishly buying a ticket to the second leg of this atrocity.

Another goal for Bayern means we aren't the worst tonight...but there's plenty of time!

Steve McManaman & Joe Hart talking about Tudors SHIT man management with Kinsky

They mustn't be allowed to talk themselves out of this mess with the Nepo owners.

Since Tudor was brought in we have conceded 13 goals in three and a half games

It’s been an absolute disaster and another terrible decision by Venkatesham and Lange

The promise of human freedom is not watching the match. The reality of human frailty is watching it anyway.

Great man management. Now we have a first-choice keeper whose confidence has been knocked and a backup who can never play for us again.

Dad, we suck so bad. We actually just suck.

Hey @jackpittbrooke.bsky.social what is deeper than a nadir?

Van de Ven now too.

Griezmann slipped on the goal as well. Lookman has slipped. Richy slipped.

They haven't noted about three other people have also slipped and pitch is clearly slick.

Get someone to love you like Igor loves RKM.
