Sarr 2 - Liverpool 0

Just look at what other clubs are able to do man

We are the worst.

Watford have been great.

I can't even fathom this team going down while we stay up stinking out the league.

I see the media are trying to dress up today’s performance as improvement.

 

Yes, a third consecutive goalless draw at home is a vast improvement.

Urgh. Really wished we had just lost man

That banner.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Ah man, looked like knee ligament injury for Deulofeu.

Why give ASM only 12 mins? Game was crying out for a sub 10 mins into 2nd half

 

needs to keep him fresh to win the cup tie on his own #tactics

Ah! That's exactly what it was

Saving him for the cup game in the week. What a muppet

The whole team selection was about keeping Joelinton in the side. Needed to play him out on the left so that he is not expected to score goals. To accommodate that we drop ASM and play Almiron through the middle despite wide left being his best position.  Because we've moved him from his regular wide right square peg in round hole position  we need to play Ritchie wide right.

 

It is an absolute joke, I just wish it was funny

Could have easily played Joelinton behind Gayle, Almiron on the left and ASM on the right.

Almiron and ASM do not consistently produce anything cutting inside. Just switch the sides they have played all season and have them whip balls into the box.

Bruce is thick and has no idea to try different things even during the game.

Just picks one formation and no matter how badly it might be going he just leaves it as it is.

Dinosaurs bang on about "Freeing Ritchie up" and goes and plays like that.

 

Gayle's so much better than Joelinton its not funny though.

 

Would have been interesting to see Joe up front in this formation, with Almiron doing all that running in close proximity.

 

Put Gayle up top in the even more negative 5 at the back we've been playing and let's see how that works out then.

 

It really wouldn't have been interesting at all. He's shit and has no striking instincts at all about him.

Yeah, we just need that missing link to finish off the plethora of opportunities this wonderful attacking team creates. Sure

Funnily enough, if we start ASM we likely win this, as Burnley were revoltingly bad.

Of course Bruce inexplicably goes and drops him

Why is Southgate at this game?

 

England are fucked.

FA should fine him tbh

Waste of resources

If we use this setup against any other side with a modicum of passing ability they will annihilate us. Midfield was so open for both sides.

Revolutionary football.

Ritchie has been pants.

That break man ... incompetent.

Burnley actually happy holding for the draw. Unbelievable

Why is Southgate at this game?

Burnley are terrible man, and so open in midfield, yet we still can't really do anything.

Lost Joelinton on defending corners. Expect them to do us on one of their corners now.

Why on Earth did he blast that?

Weirdo

Chris Wood coming on.

He'll make them better as Vydra has been pushed around.

We're in trouble with that change.

Gayle is horrible

Kinda hoped it might be more:

 

Dubravka

 

Manquillo Lascelles Fernandez Rose

 

Hayden Shelvey Ritchie

 

Gayle Joelinton Almiron

 

But if it's

 

Dubravka

 

Manquillo Lascelles Fernandez Rose

 

Ritchie Hayden Shelvey Almiron

 

Gayle Joelinton

 

then it's fucking pap.

 

Yours might be worse

 

Gayle on the right man?! Woah

 

More movement than Ritchie.

Maybe Joelinton on the right instead then?

Gayle can only really be used upfront IMO.

Kinda hoped it might be more:

 

Dubravka

 

Manquillo Lascelles Fernandez Rose

 

Hayden Shelvey Ritchie

 

Gayle Joelinton Almiron

Dubravka

Ritchie Hayden Shelvey Almiron

 

Gayle Joelinton

 

then it's fucking pap.

Yours might be worse

Gayle on the right man?! Woah

All he had to do if he wanted to play Gayle was have Joelinton play in behind him, Almiron on the left and ASM on the right.

Why is that so difficult for goodness sake?!
