He deserves it
At least Nunez has pace and sometimes does something.
Jota is neither use nor fucking ornament. He's done.
They clearly *can* though ...
That half is the best argument I've seen so far for paying Trent whatever it takes for him to re-sign. Absolutely nothing from the midfield in term of control, passing, chance creation.
Speaking of Howe's face, my gf saw him on the telly and said "he looks like Ant and Dec combined" and now I can't unsee it
Jeez, seriously…
You focussef on our horrible front 3 by where is our midfield again? Talk about priorities.
Im not sure i agree about alisson saving that.
But if you want to have the worlds best no 2 you need to at least try to keep him happy.
Agree about Burn. Its like we have to wait til half time to learn anything about a match.
Literally no fucking clue any of them beyond the back 5 from minute one. They need to use initiative and try different stuff. Its like we cant pass or compete physically and we know that's simply not true.
Is Salah still fasting?
He's definitely still slowing
He's definitely slowing.
No like for you, you filthy quiffer!!
1 attempt, none on target. Not hard to figure out our problem
No. I disagree. This (bar Ali and Trent) is our strongest xi. This is the team that would have started 9/10.
This is on the fucking players once again not turning up.
Thks is why I dislike szob at times. He doesn't offer nearly enough on a crucial area of the pitch. Where's the drive? The decisiveness?
Gravy is ghosting
So if we don't play our best, we play our industrious. You start endo, you bring Elliott on. Arguably you play Nunez.
we can still win this - but we'll need to create a chance or two.
let's enjoy this squad ...

This sounds familiar!
Our midfield is exhausted and we need more depth, because they need to be at their best against a good midfield, or they need a different system of play.
It's true that we aren't getting up the pitch enough to get it to where Robbo for instance will make some sort of idea with Diaz, so he's isolated.
But the whole fucking idea of this system would be for jota to make some ideas, release the wings and get the late run from a szobo or someone else.
That doesn't fucking work if jota can't influence the game at all, and the two wingers aren't fast enough. It's everything. You think that they'd be fine commuting to having two running down our flank if we had Salah from 5 years ago? Ha.
They've risked more and dominated the centre. We've played like shit which I can accept, but worse like cowards. They don't feel threatened on the counter. If you can't threaten a team the game gets much harder.
Fix it.
