Been watching football for decades and never liked swapping ayers from one side to the other. Its shit and doesn't work.

Yet again, we set off looking like we were about to perpetrate a massacre and then we … didn’t.

Sanchez does that sometimes, but we can deal with it by scoring 2 goals. But then we did the same thing we do in every match, which is to start passing directly to the opposition under no pressure, not one but 20-30 times.

Maddison’s goal was a wonderful finish, but it happened because we had been inviting pressure by losing the ball in midfield - and everywhere else - for at least 15 minutes, resulting in unending pressure on our defence.

It’s plainly a systematic issue with our play, whether it is due to poor concentration, overambitious flicks (Richarlison) or the undermanned midfield. It needs addressing right away. Not just in half time talks. Generally.
I'll add that, in my uneducated view, these flicks we keep seeing betray the fundamental issues with our build-up play. We don't move the ball with urgency or purpose. There's no fluidity or movement. I don't understand what the attacking plan is.
