There it is right there. Agree with all points, mate. Sometime age brings wisdom and experience. But eventually it brings rigidity and sort of a tiredness to try new things. Managers that are too young take lots of risks that backfire. Older ones...
I really think he’s our best player still. The production is there. The all around game is there. He’s a constant threat. And he’s basically doing it without support. O’Brien tries and is a great player to have in the team, maybe even a great CB...
I rate him. He has a lot of skills that make us instantly better. I’m happy he’s starting for us. He has chemistry with Jack that will only improve. He’s the best that we could afford in that position of need. But there’s a reason the top 6 clubs...
Just don’t think that 10 is his best spot. Time will show we have better players there in the squad right now, let alone getting someone from outside the club.
Erratic header for the second goal gifted them possession but he's not to blame, it was on halfway.
Though he was better 2nd half dropping deeper to get the ball, tidy in possession. Links well with grealish too
David Moyes should design some patterns to let Grealish roam more freely. Currently he is still playing as a left winger. As the game moves on the opposite side put 2 or 3 people on him. Slot basically put Szoboszlai and Brandley both on him in...
Ref was, and is, an appalling knobhead.
Started too feebly. Punting hoof balls to an awful striker.
Better second half. But I've seen this exact Anfield derby about a million times. The spirited defeat. Sick of it.
I really like that idea of Ndiaye on left and Dibling on right. Let Jack move from side to side but have shots on goal instead of always being the assist guy.
I would too. But I think replacing O'Brien and Mykolenko at FB and getting some drive from CM (maybe the German is the answer) is more a priority.
We could possibly go with Ndiaye out left, Dibling out right and Grealish playing a number 10...
This fixture and Leeds opening game were tough games to have in the first five on paper. Probably more disappointed with the missed opportunity against Villa last week than today in a weird sense.
Anyway it’s out the way. Nice run of fixtures...
