I think it was probably because you used players like the 'Rolls Royce' of modern midfield players, Joe Cunting Allen, to fortify your point, thus totally invalidating it.
Brendan, you fucking clown, 4 weeks ago before the opening game you told us an attacking line-up of Mane, Firmino, Coutinho and Lallana "wasn't good enough" because we had "no goal threat or pace".
We scored 4 against Arsenal, and have taken the fucking piss with that line-up ever since.
If you're really gonna go there...
