Depends how many goals they would've scored had we stuck to faffing around at the back.... Which we'll never know, of course, so impossible to say either way...

Simple..... Because the players aren't "premier league fit"... (Amongst other things, obviously)

What were they doing yesterday, up to the end of the press conference, which finished at 3:30pm?

I think they trained yesterday, but only after the 3pm press conference, which is getting on for 48 hours since the Spurs game nonetheless.

Looks like a hybrid approach to me... Less faffing around but still too soon to shake off the Russball 'automatisms'

Commentator: "Southampton will be disappointed as they'll have been working on this more compact shape in training the last couple of days" 😂😂😂

We did a long goal kick! (Lost possession though...) And promptly conceded.... Now THAT's why we should play out from the back!

Except for the 2 goals we scored against the same team a couple of weeks ago...?

Yep... Two borderline offside decisions so far, both going to the scousers...

FFS

The Liverpool player ran into Dibling there, didn't he?

A rubbish pass backwards would've been worse... #progress

Great move.... Started by a Bednarek long ball out of defence... But Dibling should do better with that

Can't expect players that take 2 days off a week and don't do 'bust a gut' training to do stuff like run around FFS....

And it didn't lead to a Liverpool goal... Strange that...

100 times better than Russball (i.e. passing it to a Liverpool player) 😉

Rusk out!

"Bree preferred to Walker-Peters" accordingly to the Sky 'tator

Ah...The trusty "took a knock" line just as we approach a transfer window... Good job I'm not an old cynic otherwise I'd be reading things into that that aren't there...
