lexicon Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 It's clear as day that our lack of attacking quality is screwing us. I'm not blaming Smith if he doesn't have the personnel to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 Absolutely no criticism from me for today. The tactics were spot on, we defended well and tried to counter as best we could, unfortunately we don't have very good players and we can't take advantage. There's just absolutely nothing up top for us, they only way we're gonna possible score is from a set piece. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got into promising positions and couldn’t create a real chance. Liverpool have the ability to score at any time against any opposition. We look completely toothless and I’m not sure that there’s any way of solving that issue with the players at his disposal. Then why did he buy half the players at his disposal? Who's fault is it that we cant score because every attacking player he has bought has been dire? We had money for a striker in january and we spent it on Samatta who looks as useless as the rest of his signings and cant even get on ahead of a youth product who cant score himself. This an an embarrassing state of affairs, Smith and this Jesus guy are both to blame for the absolute lack of quality we have in this team.

mikeyp102 Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 Had a good game plan. But lack of quality showed in the end. I’m torn whether he stays next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick76 Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 He did well today. We played the best team in the world and we matched them for most of the game. They were too good in the end and we had no firepower. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know how much responsibility any particular person has for the players we’ve signed. I’m not sure anybody really does. I’d assume that given we have a recruitment team in place they’d be the ones recommending a lot of these signings particularly those signed from abroad. I’m relatively happy with the way smith sets the team up on the majority of occasions. I just don’t think this team has any more in it than what we’re seeing.

Who are we meant to bring on that can change a game? Jota? Samatta? Elmo? Hourihane? They're all useless. It isn't just about man for man changes. As an example Potter changed to 5 at the back mid game to counter Farke's changes. It's called being proactive. It's a thing half decent coaches do. All Smith ever do is man for man changes and hopes for the best. Edited July 5, 2020 by villalad21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What score did you expect us to beat the Premier League champions today? 16th-17th. And before you say it: No, we are not on track to achieve that goal. Not before the game but after watching Liverpool do f*** all for 70 minutes it was more than realistic for us to get a point. Btw, I never said we'd beat them but nice try.
