The College Dropout

Tonali is so ineffective today.

Chukwueze was 20m euros. I thought he looked a danger.

I think a more compact team shape solves that problem too.

Newcastle half space weakness again and again. One pass splits us agajn and agajn.

Don’t want to pick on Burn. But he keeps losing possession.

Feel like Howe needs to do something to free him up.

Our attackers get the ball in poor areas with few options to keep progressing.

Imagine Isak defending Chukwueze

We played better then. We had a functional press at least.

Would love for us to play 4231. We need to drop into 2 solid banks of 4.

It’s also the setup. Flat midfield. Wingers wide aa hell. Striker by himself.

Burn susceptible defensively. Poor distribution.

Whenever we play a decent team we look like conceding. Unless we press we look like we don’t know how to defend.

He’ll go with the hardest working wingers we have Miggy and Gordon. Almost certainly won’t start Anderson. Probably starts Isak.

Shocking that. Hope he makes a full recovery.

On one angle it doesn’t look that bad imo. But there’s another angle that looks like actual violent conduct

Aye. The other angle it’s an easy red. It’s a massive swing. In the first VAR angle it looks more like a ‘get off me’ with a bit of swing. But the other angle - yeh - easy red.

Is a red harsh? Yellow for me.

The winner of the NO league will likely finish in the top 10k. My best year I finished 65k and came like 5th in the NO league.

They have the best individual player.

Poor lad. Good player.

Only want to see Isak ST or behind Wilson.

Apart from childhood or location reasons... it's Barca / Real then everybody else. Liverpool only lose players to those clubs in their prime. Players not wanting to renew contracts will force more transfers.

I wonder if Miggy wasn't playing in South America mid-week - if he still would've went with those 2.

Potentially a stretch aye. But how often has Wilson played 90 minutes under Howe? Even Wood would get 10 minutes at the end. Could just be a CL thing. I don't think he was "rested" in the purest form. Almiron played 85 minutes in South America on Tues but got a run out. Bruno played 85 minutes in Peru on Weds and played 90 mins. Wilson himself missed some England training as part of "load management". To me Wilson looked gassed for the last 10-20. Unless Isak had a little knock, he should've played the last 10-15. Him staying on the bench - I think - could've been a little signal to Isak to hustle a little sharper. Almiron got on because he's the hardest worker in the squad - despite genuinely needing a rest. Might be nothing. Just speculating.
