Is it normal to be disappointed if you win 9-0?! :)

Catching up on some msgs, hard not to comment on such a result.

A stunning nine goals for nine-year-old Olivia Pratt-Korbel, you just had a feeling after 6 or 7, it's a bit poetic, in a special football way.

Yeah very poignant tribute as well by the fans and the captain.

Only downside was John Henry was in attendance. He was probably thinking what crisis in midfield?!

A Minnesota player was so far offside when he scored that even the suspend monkey didn't bother suspending. :lol:

Full credit to Sky News for showing all 9 goals in their sports review. I didn't think they'd have time with the hours of news and programmes they need to repeat. :)

Its probably more to do what he said in the post match press conference rather than the result itself. Saying more results like that are on the horizon if we don't strengthen isn't what the owners want to hear.

Parker was niave to say undiplomatic things about his squad and virtually criticise the boss for not strengthening the team.
Or perhaps he's brighter than I think and had concluded - either get me more players or sack me and I'll have a holiday.
I'm not his stock is high enough to carry a reputation for slagging off players and bosses.

Even Conte is being more circumspect when pleading for reinforcements recently. And his stock is high.

Dundee manager sacked as well after 0-9 defeat.

Didn't Hasenhüttl survive two of those results?

Maybe Scotty Parker dealt with it poorly afterwards but still a bit harsh, unless he wanted out, Liverpool xG was only like 3.80 in that match. Extremely clinical performances can produce freak results, the Villa 7-2 Liverpool result only had 3 xG as well.

The Dundee performance had "lost dressing room" all over it. So Ross going was far less of a surprise.
But Parker had said similar things (even before the opening win over Villa). These owners are powerful people and probably not disposed to being publicly undermined.
Anyhow, will interesting to see who rocks up at Bournemouth next and where Parker goes next (apart from the garden).
