Eventually. And look what has happened.

 

The point was crudly put but simply, he has favourites he struggles to let go of when we have more quality that needs introducing at a faster pace.

 

Hall, Tonali, Barnes... All 3 should have got minutes earlier than they have - or in Barnes's case, still not getting.

Oh but you see Joey, that's the neat part.

 

Howe does something you've been calling for? Whinge it didn't happen sooner.

 

Howe DOESN'T do something you've been calling for? You'd better believe it's whinging time baby. All. Night. Long.

Really like that he just left Gordon on the left today. Some frustrating moments still, but it ultimately got him a great goal that should hopefully get him up and running now.

 

It's taken a while but good to also see Tonali deeper and Bruno further forward. Really looking forward to that combo against teams that sit in deep against us. Think we'll find solutions to open them up more easily now.

 

Eddie keeps plugging away. Think he should just stick with the current midfield and Gordon on the left now and let that all bed in.

 

We'll see what happens with recruitment as the coming windows come around. If he and Mitchell are on the same page, I could really see things progressing well.

I'm not convinced Barnes playing tonight would have made any difference instead of Murphy

Pretty good odds he buries that one on one (actually either one) if he’s in that position

Dont think we should underestimate Murphys abilities to get in those positions though.

His problem is not against the big sides. We're usually good against them.

 

Good point in the end :thup:

 

Agreed, our problem is against teams with the low block. We still need more invention from the wide forwards or better use of overlapping full backs. But we are still in there, just need to string some wins together.

Pretty good odds Barnes wouldn't have been able to get into those positions in the first place.

if we go on how we all judge other players surely that’s irrelevant if the final output is wide for a goal kick.

 

I quite like Murphy btw, no problem with him in the squad still but he has the same failing as Miggy in doing lots of good work but being let down at the end

Yes, but does he have the pace to even be in that position?

Subs came to late, but other than that it was spot on. Have to stick with Tonali as mainly the 6, and Bruno as an 8, with them switching briefly at times. Bruno passing in the final 3rd will create us more chances. I think Willock in for Joelinton could be out best 3, would like to see how it works.

I don't think Willock is tidy enough TBH. Neither is Joelinton really but at least he has the physical domination. 

 

Maybe it'll depend on the game. 

 

Yeah I'm a fan of Willock generally, but we are getting to the stage where every player has to be great in possession, and Willock for all his pace and trickery can be loose with the ball retention.

Maybe I don't want Murphy giving Liverpool gifts 24/7? 

 

Maybe I want Tonali starting ahead of Longstaff.

 

Yeah.


Many of us (me and you included) were very annoyed with Gordon in the match thread. 
 

The difference is when he scored we all celebrated and you said their keeper should have saved it, which is just a way to continue to be negative.
 

You either want us to fail or want to be right more than seeing us win.

His set up for these types of games at home is often very good. I thought he could've made subs earlier tonight, we were losing legs on the left at 70 minutes and Hall was being exposed too much. 

 

But love that we kept going, and we deserved something from the game.

It is becoming a bit of a gripe when we’re winning or drawing a game. We often just seem to leave the same players out there no matter how it is going or how jaded certain players look. Yet when we’re chasing. We will suddenly make wholesale changes all at once and they often don’t come off or we don’t leave enough time for them to make an impact.  I Thought the game was crying out for Willock and/or Longstaff a bit earlier. 


Don’t want to piss and moan too much, mind. Fully deserved point against the best club side in the world at the minute.

tbf before tonight we’ve gone in front first in 7 games this season and only conceded 3 goals in those games (and not more than 1 in any of them), so his management when we’ve been leading has been very effective.

Have to admit I'm surprised by tonight's performance. I was bracing for something grim, and was pessimistic until Schar's goal, which is unlike me. Hope this is Bruno and Tonali bedding into their new roles.

 

Let's see if we can do something against Brentford...
