He whipped in a few in his first home games, trouble was he didn’t bother to look up beforehand to realise there was nobody in the box or even close to cross to. edit: b******s I’ve replied to the wrong comment , in the wrong thread. Well that’s obviously enough ale and red wine for one Sunday night.

The selfish slabhead c*** took the glory despite De Ligt calling for it, was another lad behind him too who could have scored.

Felt like there was time in the previous seasons where could afford to let the front three cheat a bit defensively because when we went forward, especially on the break you just felt the outcome was a goal regardless. Now it’s not the case, the pressing isn’t there and we’re all out of sorts shape-wise and being exposed.

Doesn’t help that we seem to leave Grav on his own and both other CMs play more or less as front men when our CBs have the ball. Based on our signings and lack of form, defensive frailties etc I’m wondering if 4-3-3 is going to be the way forward right now,

Konate hit the pass of the game ironically, Salah to Gakpo being a close second but we missed both chances.

Mac doesn’t even look half fit right now.

Reminded me of some of the 90s games at Anfield where we’d suddenly start being arsed when we went behind with ten to go.

Was a marked difference the amount of time and respect Cunha and Mbuemo seemed to have, we looked soft as s***e.

Absolute lack of any aggression all over the pitch save for maybe Szoboslai. Not starting Ekitike was a f***ing joke.

Three pretty much unmarked.

Yep, when our centre backs have it we almost look like a flat front five.
