The lack of high press is to protect that back line. With Schar now back we should start to see it more as well as being able to play out better.

Fingers crossed. I’m just concerned that there’s something more to it than that, a lack of confidence or unrest behind the scenes that’s affecting the cohesion. A few more decent results will no doubt settle the nerves.

This game is pretty mad tbh.

 

[Mark1989]

This game is pretty mad tbh.

Utd doing better than us atm, its abit chaotic but your looking more dangerous

 

[Purdy]

This game is pretty mad tbh.

Think this says more about how bad the stuff is you generally have to watch

 

[Robbo]

Happy with the first 20 minutes really, good energy, have to maintain it though.

 

[Mark1989]

Salah could and should have laid that off he had a chance to.

 

[adam cool dude]

You can see how much we missing Hojlund. Zirkzee needs to bulk up as he is just getting pushed around.

 

[Calpol]

High tempo start. Decent from both teams. Zirkzee off the pace which is understandable. Martinez very sloppy in possession.

 

[AStaley]

Frustrating seeing Liverpool give the ball away in some good positions.

 

[Mark1989]

We need to keep ball abit more to quote Slot take some "control" slow it down and recycle it if need be as its all over place without much threat from us

 

[C Kent]

Decent 25, need to get Gravenberch on the ball more to exploit the massive holes in that casemiro/mainoo midfield- diaz has had a poor opening

 

[adam cool dude]

Liverpool looking the more dangerous despite our possession.

Rashford is like playing with ten men.

 

[uscool]

Saved there big time looking a shambles defensively as always

That was because Rashford wasn't tracking Trent

 

[Mark1989]

Mainoo is too good for utd >.<

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

De Ligt and Mainoo having great games so far.

 

[Calpol]

Casemiro might look slimmer but he's still like a double decker on the turn and blowing after 30 mins. He will cost us.

 

[AStaley]

What is it with taking people on and losing the ball, both Jota and Diaz at it.

 

[adam cool dude]

De Ligt will be a beast if he can stay fit.

 

[Robbo]

Casemiro is the obvious issue really, good job we managed to get Ugarte.

Other issue is attack - a bit toothless...

 

[adam cool dude]

Casemiro might look slimmer but he's still like a double decker on the turn and blowing after 30 mins. He will cost us.

Last game Ugarte will be starting after the break.
