Imagine saying this now, but my mouth was smelling when I said we should be scoring 6 past Sheffield.

This life.

Wishing that under Poch was a crime.

We go score up to six for this game. Soton are the worst in the division after Ipswich.

This Archer boy just sodomized our defender and nobody is talking about it

Palmer my FPL captain, do something na

Make this our boat no sink

Omo who did Madueke phuck without protection?

swiz123:
Chelsea not pressing hard enough.

You can’t achieve that with Felix and Nkunku. Neto and Jackson are big pluses for us upfront.

nateevs:
We spoke too soon.

We didn’t.

That backline lacks genuine organization.

nateevs:
I dey fear the CB partnership.

God knows. Good to thing we've got our noses in front now. That can unsettle them.

Maybe it wasn’t calamity after all

Disasi!!!!

The CB partnership looks like calamity waiting to happen.

Achieved that in less than 135 games. This kid is unbelievable 🔥

Jackson has the best conversion rate in the entire league (25plus shots). You see the reason I don't like going back and forth here. Most times you are arguing with people that are just typing to increase the number of their posts.

Some days I’ll think Seun pays for the mammoth number of posts.

Old thing replies to every damn thing, even an emoji.

People like the guy below?

Of course he needs to have his head examined. I’m glad he isn’t on NL, one would think he’s on that subject because of me.

For the fact he is getting the sticks about his defense from those who aren’t on NL, that says something mate.

We all can’t be mad at same time. Moreover, I’ve seen Wenger hail Senderos and Silverstre as the world best CBs.

Sportsweb:
Nihilistjnr, Airmark and other sensible guys knew attack was our major problem. Not Defence.

But Airmark should calm down with Jackson's hate. We all criticized Jackson last season but he's a brand new man this season. At least respect him, not always busy looking for faults, spying Senegalese pages looking for faults

Saying the attack was the problem is half the truth, these lot - led by the faceless 20-goals a season Canva graphic work of art striker, were directly pointing accusing fingers at Jackson. They had no clue what good attacking setup is all about, they’ve always believed that getting a new No9 is the way to address the attack - a dumb perspective that has been proven useless by Maresca’s style of play.

Even when nateevs and to some extent myself came out to educate some of them about the bad calls Posh made which completely ruined our attacking options, none of them logged on NL with a jotter and a pen. Horrendous decisions like failing to keep creative players like Angelo, Santos etc - kids who we saw in Pre-Season had the abilities to create and score goals, allowing Sterling back in the team as a 90mins starter, the dumb tactical approach to shoehorn Enzo into the No10 role, playing Palmer across the whole attacking line thereby giving him more responsibilities which limited the other attacking players et al.

None of the attacking changes introduced by Maresca seemed new to me or nateevs. Sell Sterling, add two attacking options, assign a more definite playmaking responsibility to Palmer and we’re good. Unlike that Citadel mugu who knows zilch about football, we have never seen Jackson as the problem upfront. It’s the primary reason we never saw the attack in general as the major problem of this team because we knew if we could get a manager who could fix this tactical problem and make the right call with the attacking band and not the young technical Jackson, we would tick, something you dare not say about the backline that looked so irredeemable and out of proportions.

A backline that made two conceded goals in a game their signature. The only reason it seems we’ve managed to keep a paltry amount of three clean sheets in the league this season is largely due to Maresca’s crazy high press. Watch when the opposition manages to play through our press and come facing our defenders, you’re being taken immediately back to last season. The only real heroes so far have been Cucurella and Colwill.

Fofana, Benoit and Disasi are no top level players. They can’t cut it at any of the Europe's top ten teams, . These are drabs we’re being forced to watch every week and expect a clean sheet lol. The last time we kept a clean sheet in the league this season prior to yesterday’s game was in September 2024. If someone comes to run a shadow analysis of how we are doing great with such defensive run, they should have their head examined.

This matter has been over flogged and I feel dwelling on it or replying certain mates here over it is a waste of time.

diggz:
Meanwhile... Watkins missed two solid opportunities to score today, both of which were much better than anything Jackson had, including the one he scored from. Please, let’s give this boy some room to breathe.

If person wan mad, na small small abnormal things dem go begin dey do.

Like arguing with facts.

Jackson is on his way to yet another season of double figures but someone who I’m sure can’t trap the ball dey busy dey cap dust.

nihilistjnr:
It's a simple question

List the teams have conceded fewer goals than us in the league this season.

Brah I’ll never use everyone else’s abysmal performance as a yardstick to measure our own defensive performance. It’s all different teams with different players and playing styles. It’s a silly thing to compare our run with the rest of the pack when we have an opportunity to be better.

Liverpool aren’t looking for this loser’s question, that’s why they’re leading the league summit.

A backline that last kept a clean sheet in the league three months ago prior to yesterday’s game can never be considered solid or even consistent in my books. If that to you is a good defensive run then you and I don’t even need to be having this discourse as we clearly have contrasting views about defensive play.

Mofo two clean sheets prior to the Villa game. Ask questions before rushing to text just to appear smart.

The other mofo with his usual asinine views can’t even see through the windows that Liverpool are leading the league summit largely because they’ve been defensively astute.

I heard goals wins you the league, how come the kops who have the same number of goals with us are running away with the league while we trail them by nine points?

Aturu

nihilistjnr:
Name the teams that have conceded fewer goals than us.

I will wait.

And this says what actually?

You’re making a case for a backline which has kept just two clean sheets in the EPL this season, a backline that managed to keep a clean sheet today since 21st September.

How does those pity numbers look impressive to you? How does the league’s paltry numbers consign the shitty defensive plays we are being served?

Are Liverpool with their good defensive setup asking this crazy question?

First clean sheet at home in the EPL and some folks seem to have found their voices. If you can’t see that the only department that looks worrisome to manage is that defensive line then you have no business talking football.

If not for Watkin’s profligacy in front of goal today, we would have been punished for some horrendous defending but somehow we look solid at the back.

Meanwhile, let Jackson keep supplying the glue for you all naysayers!

Comedians.

nateevs:
Is it true some people did not celebrate that goal.

StarchAndBanga:
How many weeks injury this time?

I watched Maresca’s press. It’s some light hammy, not too serious but can’t have him risked this week.

raumdeuter:
Oga you think say I forget?

Kneel down, raise your hands and face the wall

You pulled off a good one there TBH.

raumdeuter:
Me sef nd I never remove Saka yet Griffon wey suppose be my guy just opened triple captain on my head and capped Haaland

Pray your Hail Mary

kingBolton:
When Nkunku came on , he should be playing the number 10 role and Palmer playing from the right..
Went to anfield without cucu and Fofana, and we were still expecting a result, that shows the progress we have made this season already! Thumbs up Maresca.

Please keep Fofana out of this, not like there was any significant impact he was gonna make anyways.

A member of that useless backline bad boys crew.

Na lie o

We must outscore every opponent

Useless hindsight philosophy.

NinjaMetahuman:
Crazy how Pedro cooked better on the left than his natural right today.

I guess that right is a no go area.

Robbo was on top of his game all day.
