I really enjoyed this game. Excellent win against a team on form and one of very few teams to get something against liverpool this season.
7 points out of 12 which is a really good restart. It could have been a lot better had the officiating was better in key moments during the games we dropped points.
Its always going to be difficult to create a lot of chances with the current full backs and central midfielders on show who always give 10/10 but lack consistent quality on the ball. Until this is rectified in the tranfer window, we will continue to see matches with few chances. For now, winning football is all that matters. Bored of spurs playing nice and have jackshit to show for it at the end of every season.
1) We have far too little useful squad players. This is our major problem. We are not Liverpool and Man city, and Liverpool would take Moura and Sissoko as part of their squads, and that is not a lie, and if either wanted to leave I guarantee they will be taken by a Champions League regular club. Guaranteed. Meanwhile, other players like Winks, have literally been strongly linked to Man city in January. We do need more squad like players, because we are really imbalanced.
2) Winks was very good today. What do you want instead?
3) Begwijn won't have the impact B Fernandes has had. But there are only a few players in world football who would. Like, seriously.
It's like people who hounded trippier and wanted him out. Now he is a core part of an Atletico team which are much better than us. Sissoko and Winks is a completely imbalanced combination, this is a real problem. But when you have Winks, playing out of position as a n.6, who is learning that position, next to Sissoko who probably needs someone more creative to interact with. Both players would benefit greatly from a n.6 and a n.10. Creating a balanced squad. They both have a future here. Would complete madness for us to sell them and is more likely to do damage than support the team.
The whole liverpool midfield is a bunch of not particularly spectacular squad players, who work hard (with the exception of Fabinho which is a really underrated player). Again, players are tools, if they are useful tools keep them, but you need to balance it. Create the right platform you can make Charlie Adam look world class.
I haven't stopped laughing at the part where you assert that Liverpool would take Sissoko and Moura mate.
