Don't want to pile on him, but had a real sinking feeling when he messed that up. Need to see it again, but not sure what happened to him - to me it looked like his legs were giving out underneath him as he ran.

He looks really insecure when he's through the defence. Did have a very instinctive goal against Villa when we were 3 or 4 up, but other times he looks too hesitant. Need a bit more determination in those moments. Will probably be better with time.

Think Maxi would’ve constantly slowed the attack down the way he often did thereby allowing the opposition to get 2 men to him. 
 

If HB had squared that ball all would’ve been well. Very fine margins. He’s got some improving to do but I think we all knew that.

He’s used to playing first team football, now finds himself on the bench and feels like he has to make a major contribution every time he comes on. Totally understandable but it doesn’t have to be a goal, an assist can be just as important. That shit decision of his not to pass the ball to Wilson felt like him trying to be the match winner and it cost us big time. Just a shit decision that he hopefully doesn’t repeat

We needed a RW as a huge priority, we all know that. Time will tell how that pans out but if Barnes isn’t starting regularly for us something has gone dreadfully wrong somewhere, especially given the fact we sold ASM to finance the deal.

Gordon can 100% play RW.

Maxi would have had TAA sent off within minutes.

 

 

tbf Gordon did get him send off - technically.  As for Barnes he barely got the ball - was crying out for it and was free much of the time. But we kept trying to pass through the lines, which was easily dealt with by Liverpool.  Bizarrely we didn't do what worked so well against Villa.

Liverpool didn’t play a high line, how could’ve we done what worked against Villa?

We’ve never beaten Liverpool with maxi in our squad either so let’s not go rewriting history here. They used to beat us then and still are.

Last home game he assisted Wilson, also took one for himself in similar positions to yesterday. I thought he was caught in 2 minds and then the moment had gone. 

He needs to get a grip of that. Do either, but do it with conviction.

Kind of his whole shtick is to do that, which is what makes it a little frustrating. He'll get it right next time.

Thought 'yes, here we go!' when he got the ball and then... what the hell?
