Thanks. Well yes definitely and incidentally I didn't think Zouma and especially Christensen had bad games today. Patience, patience. It's quite a relief not to be expecting too much this season.

It was his body language I think. Just didn't look as if he could be bothered. He has so much talent but has never really fulfilled it with us and I can't stand that. I'd be amazed if he comes anywhere near Hazard's role. I'd rather have the potential of 11 Mason Mounts than some of our more experienced players who are getting stale. I want to see hunger and desire even if we lose.

Well we didn't lose but such a disappointment after a promising start. Willian was a disgrace, I don't think he cares so he can eff off. Pedro was hopeless, all those back flicks thinking he's Zola. I thought Emerson was good but sadly Dave wasn't. We so miss a leader on the pitch too. Kante was his usual bustling self thank god and I thought Giroud was unlucky to come off. Still, it's a point and a start. Right behind you Frank 💙

Very happy to be at SB for the first home game of the season 😀 Come on You Blues 💙

Because they're twins? Or is that your joke? (woops, sorry Michael)

I agree. Just watched it again.

I won't delve any more 😉

Of course not! And I'm still confused 🤔

Am I missing something here? Did Droy mean James Prescott? 🤔

Welcome back indeed! This is fantastic! We've been trying to encourage some members who haven't posted for a while to come back on the forum, especially with the registration problems for newbies. Your name was mentioned as one of those who were missed so I pm'd you in the hope you'd come back. And now you have anyway, albeit under a different persona. Result 😀

They write their own scripts 🙄

Good to see you on here :)

I don't doubt it which is why when I read about Liverpool's EMPHATIC win I just smiled ruefully to myself. What else can you do.

Of course I wanted to win but let's take the positives, of which there were many, and move on as they say. I've just read that Liverpool won emphatically last night. Excuse me? 🤔 And then of course there's all the 'another great night of European glory in Istanbul' but so be it. That's a battle we are never going to win.

Precisely. I've never felt so upbeat after losing a match, and to Liverpool at that! Indeed. I hope Frank feels heartened and strengthened too. You know how to live 😉
