Problem is it’s not yielding the results we need
They have (though not enough). We now regularly have longer injury times.
But teams like $hitty get helped by the ref proactively giving the other team a card in the first half, whereas for us it’s just a “stern look”.

Problem isn’t with Diaz. It’s with the midfield and their decreasing mobility

The irony is they did that last year, remember the player who had a concussion but for some reason didn’t go off?
No gamesmanship according to Eddie. Everyone of their 27 cases of cramp were genuine.

Corners - we never tried the near post flick on even once in 12 corners. A lot went straight to Pope.
But we won’t forget the 13th corner.

To quote Eddie Howe “There was no gamesmanship from us tonight “ And he said it with a straight face as well.

That’s what I’ve been banging on about. And also why is Salah out so wide? I’d understand if making space for Darwin but we’re playing with Bobby today
No idea. But pressing is only partly about work rate. It’s just as much about positioning and spacing and one player not in the right place makes the whole thing fall apart.

Sadly we’ve mostly played shit in 4 out of 5 games thus far. Not great is it? Another Klopp bollicking is needed I think.

Hahaha so glad they confronted Howe on that shit.
“There was no gamesmanship from our perspective.”
Sounds like “Trump believed he won the election.”
Oh Eddie that’s politic as politic guess, but we can see through it. I like him as a guy but that’s absolute s**t.

Yeah. But a win is better than how we played against Fulham or man Utd.
