He read that we were a long ball team.
Nicely done.
Maybe the thought he was still managing Stoke.
Virgil is bombing forward
Lovren is keeping an eye on dzeko.
I don't think his positioning is as bad as being made out. It's the misjudgement of the header that's the most galling.
This isn't me advocating him staying btw. He's just getting a lot of flack which is a little much imo
Trent's dropping back too
Robertson is not more than 2m deeper than VvD, TAA is obviously tracking Dzeko at that point, Lovren is looking out into space and doesn't look like he even knows where Dzeko is (how can he when he's watching the ball and not the player) and he is far deeper than he needs to be. There's only one player that is showing 'poor positioning'. If he hadn't then Dzeko wouldn't have had an opportunity because Niangolang wouldn't have played that pass. It all stems from Lovren being alienated from his defensive line.
And that's not going looking for a stick to beat him with. It's an obvious and accurate observation. And God knows I've defended Lovren when being undeservedly attacked on here but in this case he deserves the stick.
Exactly.
Lovren is shite. He can have good games, obviously, but he's too much of a liability. He's ALWAYS got a fuck up in him. We need better in the summer.
He's clearly tracking Dzeko at that point (and he's still only 2-3m deeper than Robertson, so moments earlier was in line). Lovren is trying to pick out Proxima Centauri.
I was kinda disappointed and worried that we conceded two goals yesterday as I am a negative person by nature. Today morning I woke up and convinced myself that Roma had scored 2 goals first and then we responded by scoring 5. Feeling a lot better. Ignorance is definitely bliss!!!!
I would console yourself with the idea that we're going to muller them at the Stadio Olympico next week too. They're no Man City, and essentially we're going there with the lead we had over them. It's an amazing advantage, and one I expect us to build upon over there.
Heard that earlier. I wonder who is inviting him?

Fair play Linaker there too
Call me cynical, but Linekar knows it's a much bigger final for BT sport if we're in it.
He's clearly desperate to watch some good football & we're the closest club to Salford that play it.
Ahem,
Supachok IS Sarachat, you total Raheem.
their names are Jaja; Diogo; and Supachok Sarachat
I just think it's fantastic that Pokémon are being allowed to play professional football in Thailand.
Even though they were cleared after the quarter finals?
Hopefully
Have you noticed his hands? I'm surprised they've not attracted more coverage. I guess a producer a few years ago said, 'Gary, love, darling, wonderful stuff, but you're very STILL, we need more ANIMATION - can you move your hands a little...?' And he's done so, but it's incredibly mannered, in that he doesn't 'express' with his hands, he just keeps thinking, 'Move your hands, move your hands' and it looks like he's got wooden puppet hands up his sleeves. The fingers don't move, the wrists don't move, he just keeps waving his hands around like they've been sculpted out of wood. Has no one else noticed this??? I find it hypnotic, and it keeps reminding me of Kenny Everett*:
