Greenlizard0 PL & Championship Football Thread ** spoilers ** [19th - 22nd August 2022]

Trent booting ball away at half time in frustration, all of them been poor.

Too many issues here that started end of last season and getting worse, depth of squad seems worse to top it off, injuries don't help granted but ox, keita and thiago always been injury prone
 
Still a long way to go but that's a brilliant performance compared to our first 2 games. Pretty much everyone has been good.

No reason we shouldn't be able to keep the ball more though, it's important we don't sit back too much.
 
Horrific performance and one that suggests Fulham and Palace weren't freak performances.

We can't play a high line with a midfield that have no legs, we can't press with a midfield that have no legs and we can't get numbers forward with a midfield that have no legs, but lets try, even if it fails spectacularly.

Liverpool seem to have lost the ability since last season to run in behind. They don't seem to do it much anymore at all.

We haven't got anyone to run behind. Salah and Diaz both could but are better at coming short, and the rest of our team are mega slow.
 
Great to see the team actually putting in a shift, especially the first 15 to 20 minutes, should have been 2-0 as Elanga should be doing better in that position. Post 20 minutes we've sat off, allowed ourselves to be pressed (e.g Elliot running down Verane) and we don't really have any control.

If we continue like that in the second half, I can see Liverpool easily scoring. However a remarkable turnaround in effort. Malacia has looked good on the left getting forward quite a bit.

Rashford is at least making an effort!

Its what people underestimate. When you are putting the opposition under pressure you are defending higher up the pitch. Mistakes matter less, transitions to pressuring their goal takes less time and everything seems easier.
