Yeah, I'm beyond sick of hearing "they've had injuries but..." It's all a bit "but how was the rest of the play Mrs Lincoln?" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HawK Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 2 hours ago, Joelinton7 said: Injury is our identity Came here to say pretty much exactly the same thing. Training with 100% intensity is fine if you're just playing 38 PL games and a domestic cup game here and there, and able to take a rest when other teams are playing in Europe. But with our CL commitments this season, I think many of us were quite rightly asking the question before the season started as to how Howe was going to approach this season as anyone could see training with and playing with 100% intensity every single time, with our full court press style, wasn't going to last. I'm not surprised at all with how bad it's been. Correlation does not mean causation, there's other factors as well of course, but playing nearly the same unchanged XI every game and not protecting players when given the opportunity is something I'm disappointed with Howe about. Using your full squad of players is basics at the high levels we're aiming for. There's definitely some aspects to squad management that Howe needs to go away and take stock of for next season. There's a reason that the best teams in the country just don't simply out-run their opponents like we often did last season, because they can't do it every game with the schedules they have to keep. If we're going to mix it up with the big boys, we need a quality-focused approach rather than simply running teams off the park. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klopp did the same thing at Dortmund and Liverpool... with his ultra press, lung bursting playing style. Both went off the rails when players were burnt out but he has managed to build a stronger squad that he can rotate or bring in quality youngsters. We are not there yet with either the squad or the academy graduates Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically 1 domino fell in Barnes vs Sheff United, and then everything started collapsing coupled with Tonali's ban. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are not there yet with either the squad or the academy graduates But going hand in hand with the high intensity press is an ability to keep the ball when it's won, we don't do that, we just don't have the quality. So the amount of out-of-possession running is multiplied by our lack of technical ability on the ball. Liverpool and Dortmund have and had much greater quality across their squad to retain the ball.

We are not there yet with either the squad or the academy graduates Key with Klopp, they played in bursts. Like they would have a relentless press for 15-20 mins in a game, then change it and either sit off the ball or control possession. We can’t drop off (just concede) and can’t control possession well. Two areas need improving that can go alongside a press. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
