Mad old game, just pleased with the effort, fight and times some of our one touch football was amazing. Even if we’d lost 2-1 with late goals I wouldn’t give a monkeys after that effort. Well done boys.

Glasner’s influence is starting to show, saw the green shoots against Citeh. The future might not be as dark as I thought COYP.

“Where’s the title gone, where’s the title gone…far far away!”

Why on earth bring Hodgson into it ?

It was good to see Glasner's tactics pay off but you are going overboard on the strength of one game.

Old, Ungifted and White

Lerma was my man of the match, but I would also highlight the contribution from Wharton.
The Guardian today write of his 88% pass completion which dwarves others on the field.
The thing is that it’s not just safe passes - he plays with his head up and looks to play forward passes to get us on the front foot.
He plays with a maturity that belies his age and it was also noteworthy yesterday how many interceptions and tackles he made without conceding fouls.
He looks to be a gem and sadly it won’t be long before the top clubs will be linked with him through their agents in the press.

His performances since joining should be a bigger talking point outside our club than they are. I expect that because our form has been average it's all gone under the radar a bit.

For a 20 year old CM he is exceptional. Calm, composed and classy on the ball. Never seems to panic. Plays clever passes but, when he moves, he has that long, languid stride that reminds me of Gerrard getting up the pitch in his heyday.

I'm not sure Eze will ever truly establish himself in the England squad but I'd be amazed if Wharton doesn't become a regular within the next couple of years.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold...

Reading that Klopp called us lucky. Luck had nothing to do with it. There were no ref decisions favouring us (the opposite if anything), no unintended blocks by our defenders, no dogs running onto the pitch, no acts of God. Does that also mean JPM's two great chances didn't go in because of luck? I guess he would call that great defending/goalkeeping! Ultimately, our bravery, composure, organisation, tactics, and force of personality were too much for them.

Glasner said before the game that he used to study Klopp's tactics and now it seems the apprentice has become the master

Without question!
