Seriously hope this is sarcasm. The defense keeps getting breaching multiple times in very promising positions isn’t what the goalkeeper can solve. It hit the post and went in. We on one instance think Gomez isn’t guilty because it came fast to him, but Alisson is supposed to foresee that and position himself exactly where the shot would go?
And to be honest Alisson did predict and was very close to saving that. It was incredibly perfect shot that hit the post and went in.
They try to bully Phillips but Nat brought a battle axe with him tonight , it really hurt to watch this. He is certainly not afraid of physical contact - good showing so far.
Over all exactly the type of shit sandwich to munch on I expected it to be … well , it’s a Moyes Westham. Comentary mentioning Moyes’s game plan working to a T … öhm … as if parking the bus was some kind of new developed witchcraft to set up against better teams
We really need to grind this out - it sucks - but if it has to be this - bring it on.
Finally yes the header could be better but he headed it at waist height anfpd when doingbthat hard to keep your eyes on the ball to make it a perfect clearance
Gomez is poor on that goal. Souness thinks he should get his boot on it. I thought it was a poor header in real time. Interesting that Souness also pointed to Jones and TAA not getting it right allowing space for the cross in the first place.
A little thought would it be an option to switch Mo & Sadio as they always come inside and that is where there players are if we start to take them on out wide with pace we will create more space?
Phillips way down the pecking order, but doing well so far. Seems a bit more no nonsense, and he’s not afraid to stick his head in there. If he adds bravery, a bit of physicality as needed, and gives it simple, then job done.
We need someone from midfield to try and run at their Midfield line. All we do in Mid is just recycling the ball from left to right. They’re going to park the bus for the second half. We can’t just try to cross the ball in and expect to get lucky. We have to move the ball quicker and run at their D line.
