I think in the desperation to turn our wretched top flight form around, this gets forgotten. I'd give a lot for a point tonight! OTBC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BaltimoreBird 127 Posted August 14, 2021 7 minutes ago, Upo said: Team is looking sharp! Teemu, Todd, Max, Pierre, Milos, Gibson looking good. Gilmour too. Defence a bit shaky, but not terrible. Bad luck goal, preceded by bad call from ref. Todd, Teemu, Max and Pierre, and Krul stand out. Rashica missed one run by Teemu badly. Needs to sharpen there. I've been very pleased with Rashica. Involved quite a bit. Excited for him for sure. Hosts keep mentioning Sargeant as a potential second half sub (US broadcast) but if we're hanging around late in the match I'd like to see Idah make his presence felt.

TheGunnShow 5,937 Posted August 14, 2021 1 minute ago, Creedence Clearwater Couto said: I think this is as much down to his mental strength and ability to get into the oppositions head. Similarly he's good on one on ones, where he seems to attract the shot straight @ him... smash one low and hard from 25 yards he's in trouble. Smash anything low, hard, and near the corners when you're a keeper behind a deep-lying defence and nearly all goalies are in trouble simply as it's often difficult to get a perfectly clear view of the shot coming in, not to mention there's always the chance of a slight deflection, late swerve, or skiddy bounce off the surface making it harder.

king canary 7,599 Posted August 14, 2021 I'd get Pukki off and Sargent on. The lack of physical presence up top is hurting is as we can't hold the ball up and the fullbacks/Rashica have nobody to aim for if they want to play an early cross. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Christoph Stiepermann 1,135 Posted August 14, 2021 We look a really good side, this isn't like 2 years ago. We might stay up, we might not, but were clearly not out if our depth this time. I'm so proud of the boys and our crowd tonight Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tetteys Jig 830 Posted August 14, 2021 we are better than 2 years ago but I'm yet to be convinced. We look off the pace. Both goals have come from one of the many moments Liverpool have forced so it's no surprise that occasionally it drops for them. Would like to see the new lads come on and show what they can do, we've barely tested their defence bar that 1 pukki chance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Christoph Stiepermann 1,135 Posted August 14, 2021 This is awful and you're not alone in feeling distraught tonight. Just remember you support a club that you can be proud of, with players who care and an excellent crowd. We just got done on the counter by some scummy esl club with 100's of millions to spend and plastic fairweather fans. We'll be fine on this evidence.
