Thomas Müller, Koke? Xhaka?

Salah is affected by Trent leaving. No one playing the long ball to him to start a counter anymore.

His value is also when opponent tries to press. He can shield the ball and win freekicks and go past his man etc.

He was a lot better second half. One of our best performers

Our problems are fullbacks. Trippier is not at his best, but at least doesn't make a lot of errors, but Burn is absolutely useless at LB.

We should be winning this guys..

Yea, subs needed sooner. Kevin stretching the play and Trippier is left 1v1 with him.

This was totally coming. We are losing the midfield totally. Joelinton and Miley need to come off.

Should be 2-0 up, and that would be game over. I think we will win this, but as long as it stays like this, they might get a draw out of somewhere.

Created quite a lot with those little flicks

uuuuh, Miley has to score there.

That Lukebakio is a real handful

Burn is so shit at left back. Every team is targeting him

Yea, I am happy, but they will score those chances some time. Hopefully not of course.

Good entertainment, it looked like a lack of quality in some phases. Neither team could do anything with slower attacks, but on transitions both looked dangerous.

Tbh Liverpool could have scored a few.

Same, as a Finn, no idea who that is. edit. But looks canny like Slot.

Bruno was one of our best players today. Everything creative came from him.

Fullbacks really are a problem. Trippier is not going to play 3 games a week bombing down the wing, and Livramento and Hall being injured takes so much away from out attacking play. We had chances to win today, after the equalizer it was next goal wins. We had enough chances there to win it.

yea, no chance for top5 with this attack.

What a goal, man what a player.

Gordon has to do better.

That might be a part of the problem, but when we drop to 4-5-1 and the opponent plays a slower attack, one of our Cbs has to step up when there is a player between the lines, of then one of three has to drop there. We played this same system 22-23, and the midfield 3 ran back hard to press when the opponent found space there, now they (especially Joe) is not doing that well enough

And again the same problem. One pass bypasses our whole midfield and the opponent gets to our box.

This is on Howe now. It is exactly the same problem that we have had against Villa for example. Flat 3 in the middle, player moves behind that trio, centre back plays through the lines and then we go. It has been a problem for us for at least 2 years. Ffs how it hasn't been fixed!
