Tomo 21,751 Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 One thing i noticed a few times last night was Liverpool player's gearing up to hit one from range but decided against it. Salah at one point was in an identical position to where he scored THAT goal. That is one of the under the radar differences having Mendy in makes, Kepa in goal they hit them and atleast one probably goes in.

MoroccanBlue 5,385 Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Biggest difference for me was both Jorginho and Kante making space for themselves to receive a pass from the back line. Small but very crucial patterns of play implemented since Tuchel arrived. we were all worried that this wouldn't work under Liverpool's press, but we managed to get by even without Kovacic. This was virtually non existent under Lampard. Fernando 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion, that probably means he'll be back Monday. I think the team balance and attacks down the left side are much better with Chilwell in the side. Alonso can be used for specific games - horses for courses and all that. But Chilwell needs to be the regular left back - He is our long-term option on the left side too ZAPHOD2319, Mufassir08 and Fernando 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are a better team if we can be selective about rotating the two, but I agree that Chilly is the future. Strike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was just one pass and then it was ruined by a stupid offside call! 😭🤬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lampard as a coach was not good, but I would take him back at the club in dealing with transfer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
