Darwin raw on the left. Caused them problems in the first half. Good progress from him. Full of effort in tracking back as well. Lovely first time shot, and an assist for Mo.
Though Luis Diaz today would’ve skinned E Royale over and over. Darwin is more Jota like with his control of the ball.
We can’t not make hard work of it when you’re a side who’s out of sorts as we have been this season…we’ll have plenty more games like this, especially away from home.
Great that we won , happiness beyond belief . Konate was a rock and bailed trent multiple times . Nunez was very good and as always worked his soacks off.salah great finishing.
Now the 2nd half poor , and clearly this midfield has no legs . The most worrying thing is the attitude and body language when receiving the ball or passing especially firmino and thiago was poor lastely TAA wow this boy is the new dele he is on a sillipery sloap and actually regressing .
I am hoping for a better restart after the world cup but we need investment especially in the midfield.
We held on with a two goal lead (first PL away win?) Against a team with a recent reputation of coming back. Sure I spent a lot of time screaming in rage when players like Robbo and Hendo late in the game think it’s smart to dribble forward then lose the ball when there’s a single player more advanced than them and there’s a super easy pass back. Klopp was raging on the sidelines as well so it’s not just me.
Good result, second half shows we definitely still don’t have our confidence back, but there was enough in that first half to work with, even if we were lucky on occasion.
There was a 5 minute spell where we just kept giving the ball away for Spurs to come onto us.
ALl it would’ve taken is for one player to decide to pass simple, rather than quickly looking direct for an out ball. Take the sting out of the game for a bit.
Well done Ali for sitting down after getting bumped to kill the momentum in those final few minutes. Usually we’d just carry on at full speed into a car crash.
I’ve seen the two phrases quoted all over the interweb today. Could you elaborate on what he did today for those of us that live in exotic far off places and do not have to tolerate the insufferable shit.
