Need to go 4231 with mo as the 9. Bobby can play behind, harvs right and Diaz left
 
This team is finished. Needs massive overhauling. Thought we'd get top 4 at least but that's not looking likely now. They're a bad mess. Don't worry though, Milner still getting minutes. Don't even look like creating a chance, nevermind scoring 2 to win this.
 
Awful half of football again. Did we even test pope? Did we shite. Bobby is consistently too deep for any counters, and mo is too wide.

A similar tune to 20/21 season where we eventually barely secured qualification - main difference being this time round, the other Big 6s are going to be much stronger.
 
Insane number of mistakes for the goal. Trents pass, Hendo, Gomez shit at defending.
Get Matip in the side again.
 
I just don't get why we're so poor.
It's really shocking how far we've fallen.

And Isak ... a player who can barely score and he does that? It's just fucking ridiculous.
 
Far too slow from the Back/Midfield to the front. It doesn't help that Robbo has been shite and Hendo simply can not play LCM. They are not willing to gamble (esp. Hendo) and constantly play it safe and the slow build up instead of letting the forwards have a go.

Some of Gomez's 'over-confidence' has me worried too.

Don't forget van dijks pure casual defending, as well as fabinho not filling the gap van dijk left.

Tbh, Gomez I didn't think did too much wrong
 
Just a lot of hustle and bustle. Very little quality.

Particularly from Henderson who has slowed down our attacking play with extra touches in possession.

Playing him at LCM doesn't work.

Had a really good break with tons of players breaking forward ... "Let me take 15 touches back and a pass back to Fabinho, that will help us"
 
The midfield are playing like complete non entities. Don’t see any quick fixes, going to be hard to get near the top 4 with current lot.
 
Half the side are out of form or going backwards. Not one of VVD, Trent, Robertson, Henderson, Fabinho or Salah can say they've had a good start to the season.

I've got some confidence that Thiago can come back and get us clicking properly, until the hamstring twangs in January, again.
 
Forget the league and chill.
Injuries have been an issue, sure. But my god how many of the big hitters have been awol. Salah, VVD, Hendo, Robbo, TAA all MIA this season. Thiago and keita never fit.

Not a chance until players get back and our senior and higher paid players actually do what they’re paid to.
 
The BT commentator nailed it when she said they’re doing what Utd did to us.

this is the blueprint of how to beat Liverpool.

What's also a problem is his inability to make a key line breaking pass.

Honestly, it's not as bad as we're all making out.

If Thiago and Jota/Nunez were playing, we'd be fine.
