Going to take some time to de-Slot this team and make them realize they actually have to press and be physical.
Oh God, here comes Mac…as if our midfield wasn’t shit enough.
It has been an ongoing issue with a lot of our defending in midfield we over commit to winning the ball get rolled and they are through and running at our defenders

Note: first substitutions at 60 minutes.
The only thing worse than the defending there was hearing how excited that goal made Gary Neville ![]()
Get Araujo on, a front foot defender is needed
I am disappointed not seeing Trey, best player in preseason and being overlooked
A constant hole in the team has been a true number 6. Steel and bite in midfield and we pass up on it every fucking season.
And to think it was Newcastle and not us who had their midfield decimated by outgoing transfers this summer.
So it is 433 now? How does Gravenberch managed to stay on is a mystery…
So now, we are sacrificing Rio and Munoz both on the right, because we need Barcola in…![]()
Grav Mac and Szobo as a three is the only way our midfield can do anything.
Any 2 of them behind Wirtz aren´t good enough.
If he isnt bringing on Nyoni I think his subs make sense there.
Because he’s been our best MF player
Curtis Jones would say we lost our best midfielder
What?
Sorry Wirtz in the 10 doesn’t work.
Wirtz doesn’t work full stop
Reffie…check the foul on Munoz…is it a pen…oh no ..its an LFC player…
We need to sack Hughes first thing after this game.
Only buying 100 million shiny toys.
