He played well otherwise I thought Now misses by our 2 best scorers, yes, but shit happens. Truly shit performances were Azpi and Willian. Willian is horrific, so is Pedro. They are both simply too old now, and Wilian, other than one oki year, has been shit for ages. Marina doesnt scout, BUT she sure as fuck owns that £65m turn-down on the Barca offer, she sure as fuck owns the refusal to toss in ten or so million more to make the Martial Willian swap happen, she sure as fuck owns the Alonso renewal, etc etc etc. If Alonso, Azpi, Wilian, Zouma, and Pedro are still on the team come August 2020, she should be strung up like the old Tyburn Tree was still around. I cannot mentally take 21 more months of seeing them trot around the pitch wearing our kit. Post of the month this.

I don't know about deserved or undeserved, but we were desperately unlucky. Near misses, VAR, fantastic setpieces from Liverpool, and two injuries to defenders within the first half. We also held control for good portions of the game, and kept the deadly Salah and Mane relatively quiet. Don't want to sound like Ty from Arsenal fan TV, but we were unlucky in this match.

Not one of the boys on for us have been bad. Mason really had to score that chance and Batsuhayi could also have done better with his header. Honestly and this may sound daft but would say that we dont really deserve to win games if we keep conceding ridiculous set piece goals. You can say okay we lost to a world class goal or an unlucky decision at times but again we concede an absolute shocking goal. A fucking free header. If you cant do the basics such as defending corners/freekicks.... your always gonna be up against it. Liverpool arent a big side either in terms of being 11 giants. No Pulisic again at any point, which I think was a mistake. You hit the nail right there: football is not about performance or volume of play, or who looks good on the ball. It’s about scoring and not conceding, so when we say we played better in the second half, that is true, but deserved to win? Nope 2 clear cut chances is the second bats was a free header and they both went wide. Tammy misses 1x1 in the first - at least on goal, but still poor finishing. and no it’s not being unlucky. It’s lack of quality and inexperience. Suspect we have few shots on target today actually. Muzchap 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starman60 1,343 Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 I was really annoyed at our first half. Basic mistakes cost us again and again this season. Frank needs to sort out set piece defending and zonal marking. We're horrendous at both. But the second half was so much better. Granted, Pool took their foot off the gas, but we were superb and Kante, Jorginho and Kovacic bossed the midfield. Although we lost, lets remember we are a work in progress, a team in transition, and instant success will not happen. Frank is a rookie and we all said we'd give him time, so let's do that. We can hold our heads high as we gave them a very good game today. Also thought Tomori was very good today and is growing in confidence. Kante.....You're a beast.......give the guy a 20 year contract Johnnyeye 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stats 7,151 Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 We lost, but the way the boys stood up second half and mounted that comeback was really impressive. I am just really pissed off with Arsenal getting that winner, especially considering they were 2-1 down and had 10 men. Gutting. On the positive not, Tomori was absolutely brilliant. He did not put a foot wrong. Jorginho impressed me also. Controlled a lot of the game but Tomori was the standout. His reading of the game and pace is so impressive. Just a shame we could not capitalize after we got the first goal. We lost but certainly was not embarrassed and Liverpool know they were in a game.

Popular Post! Pizy 18,977 Posted September 22, 2019 Popular Post! Share Posted September 22, 2019 Getting Kante back is huge. Discovering that Tomori is more than ready to start every week is huge. Getting Rüdiger and CHO back will be huge. We should really not even worry about our boys going forward. Just need to iron out the defending on set prices and we're a top 4 team. We create chances for fun. We'll score loads of goals. kellzfresh, Atomiswave, Alabama and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supermonkey92 1,428 Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Kovacic for a special shout out. Kante rightly gets the praise he deserves but kova was a boss today.

Popular Post! Jase 43,479 Posted September 22, 2019 Author Popular Post! Share Posted September 22, 2019 I know we are a team in transition and there's gonna be ups and downs this season but this novelty of playing the youth, praising a fighting performance from losing position etc is gonna lose its value if we continue to defend like clowns in set piece and open play situations. 16 goals conceded in 8 games is abysmal. Continue at that rate and we'll get nowhere. Laylabelle, Supermonkey92, Bosnian Blue and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vesper 30,250 Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Why the fuck did we drop £58m on Pulisic if we are not even going to use him when Willian is clearly a disasterclass almost every time he steps foot on the pitch? IF he cannot beat out that walking turd with an afro then why the fuck did we drop almost 60 million quid on him, ESPECIALLY with the bans coming? Marketing??? That is what I said when we signed him, but ffs, it was half said in jest. Thank fuck CHO is soon back.

Styl1994 188 Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Next summer their has to be quality signings we need real competition for Abraham up front, Batshuayi and Grouid aren’t real competition. New Full backs quality winger as Willian and Pedro should be last choice options at this stage in their careers maybe a center back if we keep leaking goals.

MoroccanBlue 5,385 Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Keep hearing this 'wait till our injured players are back' as if this is going to fix our defensive issues at set pieces.
