Fair enough if you didn’t see last night’s game but if you watch the extended highlights I recommend you pour yourself a stiff drink before you sit down to watch.

Last night was Paul Heckingbottom bad - no direction, no fight, no hope - you don’t need to be a genius to gather from that performance that there is bigger trouble at mill then under Bielsa.

The players don’t get the tactics or what they are supposed to do. Villa quickly knew how to play us (no doubt Gerrard relying on his USA experience of playing Red Bull teams.

We were one dimensional in every facet of the game.

At least under Bielsa if we played well it might be 6-4 either way.
If that is the standard of fare on offer then they may have to shove the proposed ST price hike where the Sun don’t shine.

I say that wanting Jesse to be good but there is an eerie Heckingbottomesue deja vu to it.

I can imagine with his CV Rapha, Rodrigo, Llorente, Klich and Phillips thinking who the deck is this joker.

There was a camera shot of Phillips and Cooper at the end of the game and Phillips looked stunned and sad - his eyes seemed a little watery.

Looks like he will be Liverpool bound for £70m.

The surgery that should have been done last summer from a relative position of strength last summer will be an awful lot harder this summer if we go down.

Of the older players, not sure how much we will now get for Klich, Dallas, Cooper, Ayling all of whom are struggling this season in the prem (but might be okay in the EFL)

Also don’t think we will get full recovery for Llorente, Rodrigo or Firpo or possibly many offers at all.

The loanees will be back in the mix - Davis, Drameh, Bogusz, Casilla and Costa.

There is a lot to sort out if we go down and Jesse I don’t think has any of that experience.

He won a double at Salzburg but they do that regularly over that last 10 years. He was crap in Germany.

After the Lord Mayor’s show we wanted to be inspired and impressed but do you honestly see Marsch taking us to the champions league - the only way that is likely to happen is if he plays Leeds on FIFA 22.
