What Liverpool is doing is beyond crazy and fair.

It's discouraging and annoying.

Fighting them is like fighting ghosts and shadows.

Disheartening. Everyone is fairly giving up.

But in all these, there needs to arise one maniac.

A maniac that would dare stand in front of a rolling train. A train that cant brake or break

Us maniac.

We are naturally rebellious to putting our asses out for everyone to fuck when everyone does.

It's us who stopped Arsenal and Man U stranglehold of EPL.

Once, A tika taka unstoppable Barcelona machine got stuck in our doors.

Recently, the unstoppable PSG.

If we can't do it, who should?

People need a rebellious leader

And "THE PEOPLE SHALL" get one in us.

Maresca is the hope that we can do this.

We'd rather die standing than live on our knees.

#AfterThought

If you can defend a free kick and corners from any angle in the field, you can definitely defend any throw in from anywhere.

It's just a psychological and lack of awareness problem.

Nothing like tactical geniuses

#AfterThought

This game will serve as a reminder to the boys that they are back dining with the big boys.

It should hurt them, then motivate them to improve.

We start from low to high.

#AfterThought

I saw the rains and had a bad feeling before even the kick off. In the end it mattered.

Soggy pitches and general wetness 💯% do disorient games and tactical plans.

A bad day in office

#AfterThought

And why did Gusto brake when it was a clean 1v1 🤔

FireSide

#AfterThought

All we can pray for, is for God to keep the Almighty Caicedo safe. Because without him and Essugo, we will be eating minimum 7 every match

FireSide

#AfterThought

How exactly is Maresca supposed to navigate this congested period if not by giving the weakest of our players game time against the weakest of the opponents in the league?

Wouldn't we be the first to throw stones at Maresca if he fields the key players consecutively and they get injured?

It's these players who should take the chances availed to them and fight for the clubs badges, for their fans but above all THEY MUST FIGHT FOR THEIR NAMES.

Or BE SHIPPED OUT

Once, I wrote here and it's coming to pass.

Jackson's biggest enemy was his ability to find spaces through smart positioning and movement that created most of his chances out nothing.

People were looking at the chances he wasted but not how he created them or the fluidity he brought in attack.

FireSide

#AfterThought

The fan base toxic levels are already high. Combined with the weak sporting directors looking for scapegoats, Maresca must do everything possible to prevent a total tilt.

Our fan base lives a very thin line between "Out" and "In". It shifts faster than getting a woman's pants off.

And possible trigger? Estevao.

The majority of the base is already frustrated with the constant line up chops, weak fielding and misprofilings.

It would be inexplicable to some of them why he should be dropped for constantly underperforming Garnacho and Gittens yet he is majorly a constant spark when fielded.

He should be aware of the complexity of the toxicity with this emotional base.

#AfterThought

To be frank, some of us were delusional of the world cup/ Barca performances and hoped things would get better even way before that.

But secretly frustrated with the mechanical, robot like style of play.

We can just hope Rosenior would offer better style.

FireSide

#AfterThought

One of Rosenior’s greatest achievements in player development would be helping Estevao evolve into a stronger team player, complementing his individual brilliance.

Sharpening his decision-making—when to pass and when to take the game by the scruff of the neck—would be the final step toward becoming truly indispensable.

#AfterThought

I do not think you can find better, shitty and hard to crack deep blocks like ones deployed by Nuno Santo teams.

To be two goals down having initially deployed a weaker team, then adapt, unlock and then win.....🤔

Maybe Our man Rosenior could be having the magical wand to our most stubborn problem after all.

#AfterThought

To give the devil it's dues...

We were honestly well in the first half against PSG.

Until madness creeped in, The set up and application was great.

There was even a time I wanted to post and appreciate Jorgensen's calmness and distribution.

Then it all crumbled.

A combination of inexperience, fear, quality, recruitment poor decision etc.

But the first half had given me some glimmer of hope that maybe we can compete.

The coach's tactical ability is there. The " balls"in the first half was there. Now we must fix the quality.  And he must completely fix his guts.

We started losing when we started sitting back too much in the second half. And also lost control. That's when the rain started beating us.

He looks tactically astute to me. But Rosenior must also know when to compromise the tactics and sometimes go long when pressing pressure is too much. Inflexibility is what killed Maresca's chelsea career.

For fans, that's what you get with inexperienced managers.

They learn on the job at the cost of results.

We are  95% out.

We must now fully address the quality issue. And he must learn in haste.

And it starts today.

#AfterThought

The positive thing from the UCL elimination is that Liverpool and Aston Villa will have European-night distractions that may adversely impact their league performances.

Now we just need Rosenior to zip his tantalizing beak and work.

FireSide

#AfterThought

You all better hope he succeeds. Because if he doesn't, Sir Gary O'Neil is the next one in the "inheritance" list

FireSide

#AfterThought

The shitty SDs and Puppeteers need to clearly know and understand the true shape of the team and their equally shitty decisions so that there can never be any doubt on the serious decisions that need to be taken in the coming season. Especially the managerial appointment which will then translate to recruitments.


Now that it's almost guaranteed we are out of UCL, we need to eat a minimum of 7 against Liverpool next. So that it's clear enough where we stand.

FireSide

#AfterThought

Now that we have perfected the art of " The Bomb Squad" Florentino Perez is about to find out why we gave the players 17years Contracts.

You can't wait for their contracts to end and the player can't bully the club into submission.

FireSide

#AfterThought

Reece says we matched them and went toe to toe,

This is not the " Players gave their all" Potter kind of shit talk. It's true we did. Just that some men are on menstruation here and therefore nothing makes sense to them.

Yes. A loss is painful to all of us. But give the devil its due.

It's the limitations we had in attacking areas personnel that didn't give us a proper chance to attack properly and win.

We can only hope it gets addressed.

Good news!!!

Alonso is here

It's a new chapter.

We restart.

FireSide

#AfterThought

The Alonso excitement may have overshadowed both the negative loss and positive display from some of the players and the whole team.

Three positives specifically.

1. Palmer's defensive contribution was probably the best I have ever seen from him.

2. Fofana made a single error. Otherwise the man was carrying the ball from defense to attack like he was on drugs and still fell back to cover like a maniac.

3. The midfield ditched the shitty passing. For once I saw people with confidence to dribble.

4. The defensive awareness and concentration from everyone was top notch.

5. To Rosenior, McFarlane may be a snitch. But he is shrewd and smart with acres of potential.

It may have been the new manager's fever in play, or truly proving the Rosenior sabotage narrative, but whatever it was, if it can be maintained & Improved, the sky should never be the limit.

#AfterThought

World Cup snubbing is surely painful to Palmer. But Tuchel's words should hurt and push him even more next season. " He has not been decisive enough".

Compound it with Alonso appointment, enough rest, recovered injuries and One match per week Next Season, We may see a different beast.
