Post match interview on 5 live did just that 🙂 "Did the exertions of midweek result in the first half performance we saw today?"

Liverpool brought on their subs and tweaked their approach. To our credit, we had tried to get a few things forward before their goals. The second one took the stuffing out of us. We got ahead using Selles' tactic. When we were behind, we had nothing. We've had no real answer to that for years. Some positives in the first half. Mainly Juric picking a formation that actually suits his players. Having a plan and also for giving some of the many weaknesses, some cover. Good to see Will have a good first half. In the second, and all game we could have made more form Sule. We had a few passes we should have had people on the end of. But we lack someone like that, or rather don;t seem to train to really take advantage of it. Repeated self inflicted penalty for the third. We didn't cause them too many problems today, and our goal caused some shock. But we did a lot of the basics decently. We just don;t have the planning or strength to impose ourselves.

TP and Archer on there to put just that pass in the net. Yet...

Not in this squad.

Outside our transfer budget I'm afraid. 🙂

Crumbs! Steamy stuff.

Well, that was daft.

You've not been in his presence. You can;t help but get carried away . 🙂

True. But when you consider that happened when he had to put on his shirt today, he's not done that badly. 🙂

Ah. Surprised he could see the arms past the blinding, annoying smile.

No. It was just a blatant push in the back. Not the major thing like the tiny tap that gave them a penalty.

Is that a reference to someone at Liverpool, or OJ? 🙂

Lallana seemed to forget who was employing him, when his dream team came calling. :-)

I think you'll find that we were otherwise employed convicting the dog in the Hackman deaths. 🙂

I never suspected OttawaSaint for OJ's crimes. But now you've cracked the case... 🙂

Fernandes gets the ball. But nowhere for him to go and no passes open. So, back it goes.

We are trying longer passes looking for Sule to be running in behind, while keeping some compactness at the back. But the passes are mainly miles off. We don;t have that kind of sharpness, or directness as a team, sadly. Still Sule and Fernandes up there trying.

Les missed the pass there. Not great.

Pet commentary team full of Liverpool manager and ref praise, now they are ahead. They are a disgrace.

Well, there's contact and he falls over. So...

Really ref?

'tator was talking about how decisive slot was in taking off players on a yellow. Kept hacker on, and he gets it past Les and in.

Bah!

Ramsdale giving some constructive feedback to ABK there. Good to see. The rollocking, and not the pass.
