Well at least this match missive will be easy and quick.

Title Defence Countdown:
5 wins down/ 22 to go.
15 points down/ 74 to go.
Seems trite keeping that up right now as the only thing on the agenda is L’pool sorting their own S out and winning a game of football. But until the maths say otherwise …..
The ONLY good thing from a bitterly cold evening yesterday was getting home for 20 past 3. Which was actually 2:20 AM. YAY daylight saving time!
Hopefully, LFC’s clocks have turned back to last season overnight. 
Even Brentford’s infamous, boss sausage rolls, about the only time I ever buy food in a ground, weren’t up to their normal standard. Which didn’t help my mood haha.
Very muted response to Henderson from our end. But we handled that respectfully with some clapping that wanted to acknowledge him. And an impervious, no interest silence from those didn’t. Much better that than any boos or shout-outs. Kelleher was boss with a thumbs-up and smile to his rapturous applause.
On the support, as lost as everyone is as to what’s happening currently on the pitch, there is NO disgruntled shout-outs toward the manager. Or worse, madly calling for his head like I’ve just been reading scanning through SM/ on-line platforms.
He could lose 10-in-a-row and that wouldn’t happen after bringing home number 20. That isn’t who we are or how we conduct ourselves. But man alive he needs to start earning his corn and sort this S out. And quick! And any and all criticism of him is MORE than warranted at present. The anger at the final whistle was toward the players and their gutless lack of effort and fight. No issue getting beat by the better team. That’s football on the day. But a lack of fight and giving everything is TOTALLYunacceptable!
Nothing to say about the absolute dog
on the pitch in what was our single worst display of football since pre-Jurgen. Probably since the Hodge was in charge. Or maybe Bendon’s end? Only Jones, yet again this season, and big Dom come away absolved of any criticism. And Chiesa his short spell as he was the only attacker to have the nous to drop in. Madly playing CH/ LB and left-half among other roles as he worked his behind off for the team to try make something happen.
Although Dominic can PROPER get to F coming over and raising his arms for support the end!
I mean I get what he was trying to do. For everyone to stick together to get through this in the L’pool way. But NOT after such an abject display as that mate when you collectively showed next to no fight and graft for us. Many of the faces in our end yesterday were regular faces that were in Germany through the week. With some not getting home until midnight Friday after a proper mess in Copenhagen with delayed/ cancelled flights. To then turn around and go straight down Brentford to support you lads. So, politely Dom, and ALL of you, GET TO F! with that S! We’ll support you unconditionally to the end. But don’t F tell us how to do that!
Futile pointing fingers at any individual players or the manager. We win and go through the good times as a team. The same in bad periods like this. But they ALL, players and coaching staff alike, need to take a long, hard look at themselves in the mirror and sort this S out. And quick! Time to batten down the hatches, give the media as little as possible, and work this out between themselves. You just feel lost at the minute as there’s so many issues going on, you can’t see a single solution in just changing personnel or tactics.
This will turn eventually. We are far too good a group of players and coaching staff for it not to. And when it does, we’ll be flying again. Just a question of when? And currently, you can’t see that happening for a ways longer yet.
Palace has now suddenly become the most important game of the season bar none.
Up the Reds.
