Bailey Posted October 1, 2020 Report Share Posted October 1, 2020 14 hours ago, StevO said: Will we end up with a statue of Carlo outside BMD? I saw a tweet from Michael Ball earlier saying he felt calm watching us, I can’t remember ever being this calm watching us. It just seems like we are in control all of the time. But the players seem calm too, just like they know there will be more goals. It’s so much more enjoyable. If we beat Brighton at the weekend I’m not sure I’ll be able to wait two weeks to see us play again. This 100%. it was frustrating when they equalised or when WBA scored a couple of weeks ago but it always felt as though we would create more chances in the game. Whilst I thought some of the defensive effort from James was a bit too lacking at times, the way he practically demanded the ball every time we got possession and always made himself available for the pass was a little mind blowing. It was a bit like he was saying, "calm down guys, I've got this!". Matt and StevO 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also remember the MERSEYSIDE, MERSEYSIDE, MERSEYSIDE chanting Final and it would amazing to get anywhere remotely close to those times again, as long as Liverpoo always finish second.

Did you see James throw his arms in the air and stomp his feet when he pinged a great pass from the centre circle into the left channel and Iwobi didn’t see it coming? Was a bit petulant but great to see him expecting more from the players around him. It felt like he didn’t look to the left for a few minutes after that. Like get on my level or I won’t give you my ball. Romey 1878, Bailey and Matt 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is an important point here, of course: arrogance breeds complacency. We must be sure never to underestimate opponents this season and fight in every game to secure the points, otherwise we could find ourselves at the wrong end of an upset.

DavisJD Posted October 6, 2020 Report Share Posted October 6, 2020 The squad would be benefiting hearing Carlo barking instructions at the playing XI. A silver lining of no crowd to fast track the squad cohesion. We've seen plenty of shape/formation changes through games, and what looked to me like a defensive shape trial purposely to prepare for Liverpool for periods of the second half against Brighton to manage the game.

Aidan Posted November 1, 2020 Report Share Posted November 1, 2020 12 minutes ago, Sibdane said: He’s a world class manager but no doubt he didn’t get it right today. We have no DNA. As soon as one key player is injured the style of play completely changes and players don't know what to do. Gomes and Siggy can't play a short pass comfortably which is so strange for a footballer at this level. Mina and Keane can not play together with the former probably not good enough at this level. The return of Holgate can't come soon enough. Kenny cant defend well, hasn't got pace, cant cross a ball or play a pass. Im not sure what type of full back he wants to be, but he needs to find out and quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted November 1, 2020 Report Share Posted November 1, 2020 And to play Delph at full back and a fullback on the wing makes no fookin sense at all.

Made sense to allow a pacey player like nkoukou get at their full back and cover him with a player who can do the left back role.
