That’s why you need taking back to basics

But it’s now absolutely clear that he’s an appalling PM; that he lacks basic political judgment; and that he’s actively harming the party and the country. He has to go and it needs to be now, before it’s too late.
I was a longtime admirer of Starmer the lawyer. I rejoined Labour to support his leadership bid. He was masterful at taking down Johnson. I cheered when he won the election. 1/2
Becoming PM has revealed many things about Starmer including that he’s a poor politician. I don’t think he’s a liar though. I don’t think that’s in his bones in the way it was for Johnson.
They expect so little and deserve so much
Only a heartless best could possibly be pleased that Ekitike is out for the season and the World Cup and Isak is a shadow of his former self and Slot will be fired and Liverpool will win nothing.
Slot to cop it before the Kop cops Slot?
I expected more of Slot when Slot copped Klopp’s Kop slot.
Been a bit busy today. Has Isak won any trophies with Liverpool yet?
I’m backing Eddie
Orban is toast, isn’t he?
It’s the same game every week #nufc
Kanye? No, ye can’t
It’s nuts that there’s no Premier League at Easter.
Also, the league cup is a joke
I’m so upset I have spent the last three hours rage power-washing the patio. #nufc
This is painful now. Totally predictable that we’d run out of gas. #nufc
Typical! It’s very high speed atm - hope we don’t crash in the second half.
Somehow thought it was a 2pm kick-off, switched on for build-up and saw the replay of the goal. 😃#nufc
There are five NUFC players selected in today’s England squad. I believe that this might be the largest number ever (I think the previous record was three). #nufc
Was Ramsdale actually any good?
Definitely not. It would be an act of rank stupidity to sack the best and most successful English manager for twenty years.
Seven though. SEVEN
Broadly agree. There’s definitely a fatigue issue but nothing to explain that collapse.
He was otherwise useless though. 🤷♂️
We also need a proper scouting network. We have been extremely lucky with our transfers until this summer, when we massively overpaid for at least three of our acquisitions. We can’t afford to do that and it may take a few seasons to recover.
We’ve been defying footballing gravity for a while really - a state of the art training ground and a deeper squad are fundamental.
The road to redemption starts with a goalkeeper…
Realistically, we are not going to see Champions League football again for a little while (and maybe a long time). I enjoyed and will cherish all but the last 40 minutes of that campaign. But: we need to get real about what this team is capable of. We’ve been completely humbled here. #nufc
