Kid Icarus Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 8 minutes ago, Froggy said: We caused Brighton all sorts of bother with a high press. They lost the ball multiple times in their own third but we were disgustingly wasteful and never made anything of it. I couldn't believe the chances they gave us. Given the form your strikers are in I think you'll be much more clinical and I think you will win quite comfortably tonight. Genuine observation. I'm sorry, I have a girlfriend. They did similar against Arsenal and were incredibly risky, I just wonder whether it's a case of them playing with fire or all part of their plan. It'll be interesting to see whether like you say we can take our chances (something despite having a brilliant season we've been very guilty of) or whether Howe will go more for something nearer to what Everton did and hit them fast and hard on the break, which is what we did to Man City when they came up here.

We've underperfromed Xg but I think a large part of that is from set-piece headers which is a personnel thing. I expected Schar to score more from a set-piece by now. Hit the post at least twice.

Especially mid season the biggest gripe was both Joe's and Longstaff not taking sitters, sometimes multiple times in a game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK-421 Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 (edited) Seeing on Twitter that Klopp has been given a two-match touchline ban and fined £75,000 for his comments about ref Paul Tierney.

Then for this incident is a the fine and 1 match ban (1 suspended). Marco Silva got a 2 match ban and £20,000 fine after being sent off in the cup match against Man U.

Almost all of our underperformance is from corners and set pieces. This is why all of the complaints about Trippier have driven me a bit nuts. The chances have been there - Schaar v. Arsenal one of the more recent glaring ones. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty66 Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Touchline ban makes no difference what so ever, some mangers sit in the stands themselves ffs. Fergie built the dugouts at OT practically in the stands as you get a better view. May as well just give him a touchline gurning ban as it would cause him more distress.
