Is anybody able to clarify why VdV's goal was called offside? Yes I agree he was offside but the ball ricochets off an arsenal player I believe so wouldn't there be two phases of that review? Phase 1 being when initial shot being taken and phase 2 being when ball ricochets?
Think we played well in general.
We have to stop putting low crosses into the 6 yard box if it's not quite working though. I feel we need to cut the ball back more and have someone arriving late in the box to shoot centrally. Only maddison made a cut back late in the game but unfortunately...
Anges style will create a lot of injury problems with the high intensity. We are obviously in dire need of squad depth but we need to get used to having many players out. We also need to anticipate ange eventually not getting anything out of his players for a whole season because they'd be so...
Too many mince pies over Christmas. Aside from the obvious defending being all over the shop, every players except vicario and Pierre have been off the pace
Interesting statistics there. Actually goes to show how reliant Liverpool are on their forwards whereas there's goals right across the team for the North London clubs
We haven't really created much due to the box being so crowded.
Due to the lack of width we have to move the ball quicker - Quick one twos, pass and move, disorientate their low block. We've made it far too easy for West ham tbh with our slow progression
Say a fb post pre game about the team being 95% strength first team (bentancur as the last 5%) - oh how that aged. We've just lost 60% of our back line - 80% if vicario suffers from concussion and maddison too - all in one game lol.
Came at the worst time as well with the upcoming fixtures but...
Bringing on johnson and Porro over lapping in the second half opened up the spaces really. A subtle change but a significant one. Handball goal wasn't exactly clear and obvious. I can reluctantly agree with the decision
Our crossing was ineffective all game. As soon as they went down to 9 men I would have moved kulu inside and had Porro providing the width and better crossing to really stretch their defence and open up channels - with sarr/skipp playing more cautiously to prevent the counter.
Actually it wasn't a first time cross. He dribbled down the byline.
I too had a light bulb moment based on the reason we scored... our wingers were providing more width in the 2nd half. Kulu was in absolute acres of space
Bissouma's nickname should be ball dancer. Literally dances with the ball. What a player!! Clear to see why ange doesn't fancy hojbjerg - not only giving the ball away under no pressure but there was one moment where we won possession mid way in man u's half. Maddison had the ball on the left...
Basically what I was saying. He didn't really want to go abroad. Was prepared to see out his contract and open to a short extension so that spurs would get some money for him to keep his legacy with us intact
Slow start expected.
Our pre-season wasn't ideal. Most of the squad only got 2 games max in pre season.
That saying that's a positive point to take.
Don't expect the team to fully click until October at least
I believe the reluctance was more having to go abroad rather than stay in the PL whilst also not turning the situation into a Campbell.
It's been widely known he wanted spurs to get a fee for him. The idea of being open to a short extension allows the fee to come into play and negate him...
