Wasteful up front. Several good chances spurned. Should have been at least 2-0 up before they scored.
We were served notice it was coming, as he had a header and also stretched us over the top. Ball in to Watkins, controls it, gets half a yard, gets the shot off, beats Kabak and goes under Alisson. Not a goalkeeper error, as such, but neither was it great.
Finally we scored. Good composure Bobby to chip it into the net over three sprawling bodies.
Hang on. VAR. Get the etch-a-sketch out, keep drawing until we find a reason to chalk it off. Aaah, there is is. No goal! Quelle surprise. The pattern of getting screwed over by VAR continues. As does the pattern of watching our rivals VAR checks last a few seconds, but ours a few minutes. Forensic against Liverpool. Keep looking. We will find a reason to screw them over. Keep looking.
Timekeeping. The four minute concussion thing alone takes it to 49 mins, plus the usual additions here and there, and we should have had 6mins added. We had three added.
Final half time thought.
I wonât be bothered, in the slightest, by any move that strengthens the European elite and weakens the Prem. Ideally we leave the Prem altogther, with a few other giants, and render their corrupt $5Billion âproductâ now worth $1Billion, and everyone can have an 80% pay cut, the corrupt wankers.
With all that said, WE have to do better with what WE can do, and we should be ahead.
On a positive note⌠I thought this front 3 shows a little more movement and actually created goal opportunities⌠There wasnât too much running into defenders all the time. And looking lostâŚ
Still no goals though. But at least it wasnât like other games where we had 1 shot on target for the whole match.
It also shows we need quality depth up front to rotate.
Actually, they must do. Unless they have another camera that they can triangulate from there is no way that you can accurately place these lines other than the players feet.
