You sound like my ex with these convenient lines you draw on the plays where Gomez fucks up. All arguments started right at the moment where her cuntyness pushed me into being angry and ignore everything that came before. Joe may have made the best of a difficult situation, but we were in that position because he did something dumb right before.

VVD also turned to look away just as Gomez was about to play that ball blind.
Blind pass with a lot on it, Ali trying to get in a position to receive the ball in an easier positon for Gomez but then slipping as he sees the pass is away from him, and then Rodrygo running off VVD who had turned away.
3 in one. Each with different varying of blame.

On a positive note, if we had finished some of the chances we created, there would have been some really brilliant assists today! If only…
BS his passing is a liability he is your boy like Elliott is and you will defend him beyond any reason.
Except for the City match he is poor at best.
I could say exactly the same about you, in reverse. It feels like confirmation bias. You find fault in everything, and you totally ignore what he brings to the team.
Alisson seems to think it was his fault. I’ll agree with the big man.
And in that situation, I am totally fine with Joe taking the free kick. It’s the right thing to do.
Jordan for Fab should be the first move.
Fab has either rapidly regressed or his head has been in Qatar since game 1.
HT 1-1:
Good game for a neutral, not so much for us. Leeds took the lead on a ridiculous mistake, but then, they had all kinds of chances, going through our defence like through warm butter. A long pass in the space, bodies running forward, and danger was there. We really need to close them down more effectively.
Fortunately, they make errors too and we could equalize from one of them. Then, we were in control of possession, but without being too dangerous and it’s Leeds who had the best chances.
For the second half, we need to become more clinical with our chances, and really shut up shop at the back. Fingers crossed that Leeds will tire down as the game goes on and that our forwards will convert their chances into goals!

Van Dijk is not at fault for that.
We have possession. It’s a simple pass back to the goalkeeper.
It’s not Van Dijk’s job to stick to Rodrigo when we have the ball. He should be trying to find space, not man mark somebody.

Right, who can we bring on that’s going to get us excited 
If we are honest a poor 45 minutes with Fab and Joe struggling badly.

His passing is bloody good, and if you can’t see that you need to go and watch another sport.
Less of the ‘your boy’ shit. I’ll support these lads all day. All of them. While some of you find more enjoyment in setting them up as whipping boys. I’m

Milner?

On a general note I’m not enjoying the way we play at the moment. There’s flashes, but otherwise, lots of huffing and puffing without actually achieving anything. And then we give the opposition chances.

I don’t find fault in everything, I find fault in his faults. You try to find them in others to defend him.
Alisson taking the blame isn’t quite the argument you think it is. He’s being a good teammate. He is not the one with brittle confidence.
How did we get so bad so quickly?
That’s why I said varying degrees of error in the goal. VVD is least liable.
I’m mentioning that what also contributed was him turning away at the very moment Joe lost his head and played blind. Had he been watching then he could have tried to put Rodygo off by a slight push.
Hoping theres been some subs.
I’m not enjoying the fans.

Would I blame VVD, probably not, but he should still be switched on and be in a covering position, because you should be expecting a mistake, because that what as a defender you do.
But basically a poor pass but without the slip it wouldn’t have been a goal.
