I watched them against Everton yesterday. Everton played with a solid defensive structure which totally nullified Vardy and Maddison, with Barnes the only player who looked like making something happen.We were battered in the first half by a very, very good team, but managed to cling on by our fingertips. In the second half we were excellent and might have won it. I don't think people on here are fully cognisant of how good a team Liverpool are. They would have seen off any team in world football last night and we stood toe to toe with them largely. Tactics were spot on.
The issue for us are the games ahead, after two disappointing results. Beat Leicester, and we're fully on track to regain momentum and have a fantastic season. Anything else could take the stuffing out of us, and you could see the project easily falling apart if this style of football doesn't continue to be backed up with results. I have to say I'm a little worried about Saturday and Leicester aren't the sort of team you want to give too much of the ball to up front- their attackers are ruthless.
Basically they were toothless.
Leicester look good against teams that push up and leave space for them to exploit. Take that away and they really have not a lot. They have a plan A and that's it.
