Even a Duncan Ferguson or Andy Carroll type would struggle without decent delivery Exactly, same with 90% of our crosses as they sail over everyone's heads and either out for a goal kick or worse, a throw on the other side of the pitch because nee fucker is there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cos he booked a couple of them?, fuck off man he was utterly inconsistent. Look at the ends of the two halves and you need go no further. Unfortunately, we are now at a point where what we got last night is as good as it is going to get for the standard of refereeing. Do I think it is acceptable? No. However, in the scheme of things, it has been the best we have seen in a while. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last night was a bit different though because, as that mong Tyldesley pointed out, a throw in (or freekick) to us is like an assist for Liverpool if we're not careful.

David Kelly 1260 Posted December 5 Share Posted December 5 56 minutes ago, Alex said: It’s the way we’re set up too though. Even though we were well worth the lead at HT (should’ve been more, which ultimately cost us a victory) I think Liverpool had something like 60% possession. Against a side like that sitting in, keeping it tight and looking to hit on the break is very effective. Tonali seemed to be deeper / more central too. He was excellent and gave us a degree of control in there we’ve not had much this season. He’s very clever in tight situations and normally manages to wriggle out of it and retain possession. Instead of just winning a foul. Which Bruno is very clever at doing. And while that takes the pressure out a situation it can kill momentum Having Tonali as the deepest of the three midfielders and Bruno further forward worked well. Tonali had probably his best game imo and Bruno had a hand in all three goals. He's our player who is most likely to find little passes in and around the box to release Isak or Gordon. The slight problem with playing like that is Bruno's lack of pace. When we lose possession and he has to get back he looks like he's running in cement. This should hopefully be less of an issue against weaker teams who don't have Salah to punish our poor passes. But ultimately if we want to create more we probably need to accept that trade off, at least until we have someone who's not dog shit on the right. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Kelly 1260 Posted December 5 Share Posted December 5 Aye his ball for Gordon and I think he set up that useless cunt Murphy when he hit the post. With a proper player on the right we would possibly get more from him dropping a little deeper and playing those balls through. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzler 10365 Posted December 5 Share Posted December 5 Remember when we wanted Nunez and got Isak instead? Good times. We got a worldie and they got a sunbed Andy Carroll for the same money 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should be like Shaq up there, nodding balls back across goal for others to attack. We almost never even find his head, never mind do something inventive with it. a play that pardew used to call, the williamson 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
