We have shown fight, put in the tackles and chased the second ball, all i have been banging on about Carry this through to other games and I will be happy The determination we have lacked. Jack is really not got his game back since the break. Wouldn’t mind seeing Samatta on for Davis BEFORE The 70 min ‘Smith Substitution’ mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flashingqwerty Posted July 5, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted July 5, 2020 Defensively sound but the attacking players have been exceptionally poor. Trez isnt good enough, Grealish still hasn't turned up post lockdown, McGinn is off the pace. Things are serious when Luiz is the best attacking player, and he is our DM. Davis and El Ghazi have been ok, but we are asking a huge amount of average players. I'd give Vassiliev a go for trez. I'd actually take Taylor off, move konsa to CD, Hause to LB and put elmo at RB. Maybe bring Guilbert in for ElGhazi a bit later. I'd be tempted to take Grealish off, hes done so little, but who do you bring in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBlack Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 McGinn having a great game. El Ghazi been pretty good too. Davis has done some decent supporting work as a defensive minded striker, that has eased some pressure on us, but he's definitely not looking like scoring. All in all, a much better first half than I was fearing. Worryingly Liverpool have Firmino and others on the bench that could expose us this half (as well as Salah and Mané on the pitch who don’t even look like they've started playing yet). Let's hope we can hang on, Liverpool stay demotivated, and we keep getting chances on the break Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sulberto21 Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 Oh and f*** me sideways I saw us pressing as a unit causing them to rush the pass ,go long or kick it out. Klopp looks angry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The question is how we cover the flanks when the gas goes on Trez. Maybe leave Davis up there and put Samatta down the wing. I'm not sure on hourihane, from what I've seen since lockdown he has been extremely guilty of hoofing the ball in to space when we are under pressure although I think he's been solid elsewhere. We actually have a foothold in the game so I'd be reticent to change anything tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If jack is struggling, I'd put him out wide and hourihane through the middle. Half fit jack is better than trez. Or vassilev out wide perhaps? Lots of energy and work out there. Might not be natural but a decent option surely. Mcginn is definitely closer to his old self, not quite there yet though. I like the suggestion of bringing Elmo on at RB, Konsa has done nothing wrong but the experience Elmo has might help us defensively in this second half.

I'd like Samatta on with Davis but not sure we can afford to lose a man in midfield to play 2 up front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nepal_villan Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 Useless stat but we have not conceded a goal in 6/9 halves since the restart. Maybe too late, but our defending has improved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 So far so good. A long 45 minutes to go. Don't let it go horribly wrong. I would be over the moon with a point and so far, we're worth one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flashingqwerty Posted July 5, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted July 5, 2020 I think if you bring on Samatta it needs to be instead of one of the wide men. This game 0lan needs the big lad up top. As soon as Davis goes off, Liverpool will start to dismantle us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
