Trent with two tremendous defensive interventions. We aren't pressing well enough even though they don't look confident passing from the back, and if that continues any longer we should stop.

Not sure what the point of randomly pressing with 4 vs 5, the midfield are so far back and uninvolved.
 
When our forwards return we should just play all 6 of them and have the back 5 smashing it long all the time. This midfield is non-existent anyway
 
Trent has been doing that all season. He just tries to impede the man instead of the ball. What did he expect the ref to do?
 
2 years ago Hendo would have come out of that press with the ball. Now, they just spin around him with pace.
 
Gakpo didn't look very rapid there, did he? I guess he knew he wasn't getting it. We are most lethal from a throw.
 
I just don’t understand the idea of playing Thiago so far forward - without him our midfielders cannot keep hold of the ball. Henderson hoofs forward any chance he gets and Ox always looks likely to run into a blind alley (although he’s not playing badly it has to be said). And it’s not like there is an upside defensively to this either.
