Maybe we'll make and error, maybe we won't. I wish we'd stop pissing around with it at the back because I'm really fed up that playing like that has contributed to our longest unbeaten run in a 100 years or something. I know, right? We need to just lump it forward and play on the front foot - look for knock-downs from Adams and get it in the mixer. What good did playing short passes and keeping possession ever do? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our unbeaten run would have been longer if we hadn’t concentrated so much on pissing around at the back and actually tried to score a few more goals. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one knows for certain. We could have let goals in other ways or scored fewer. One thing I do know is that we have created enough chances to win every game during that run. Is there a game since the start of it where we have had less shots than the opposition? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We drew Preston, Huddersfield, Watford, Norwich, Coventry, Rotherham. It’s only really the Preston game you could say we were fortunate as it was an injury time equaliser but we were the better team for 80 minutes in that one too. We should have won all the others. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry_SFC Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 The problem has never been passing it around at the back. It's about drawing the opposition out of shape by moving it around quickly and with a bit of purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAlehouseBrawlers Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Arsenal v Liverpool great start. Good atmosphere too, "The Library" can produce when it wants, they do the "Arsenal, Arsenal., Arsenal.." reining down from the terraces well (as do Everton and Liverpool) our lot should do it (Southampton actually fits for once - we used to do it with the clapping in the 70s)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FarehamSaintJames Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Thing is the way we play isn’t much different. There is quite a few occasions where we have an opportunity to shoot and we chose to make an extra pass, it wouldn’t hurt to have someone smash it from the edge of the area once in a while.

Our average shot distance is 16.9 yards which suggests we take plenty of shots from outside the box. Also we have more shots on target per game than any other team in the Championship.

Yes, but on the same sort of spectrum you get this fawning, arselicking type of shit starting up already: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/teams/liverpool Talk of "quadruples' . Easy to forget how dislikeable the EPL is when you're not part of it week by week. Yet Klopp is bemoaning fixture congestion according to the press.

There was a lot of talk between the commentators about ‘contact’. There is nothing in the Laws of the Game about contact, only “trip or attempt to trip”. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to seeth at the antics of " Latin " national sides when playing against England years ago, now it's well ingrained in the domestic leagues. That said there was one or two home grown "actors" back then also. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cat Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Another benefit of no VAR in our league is that people don't spend ages rolling around on the floor in "agony" while trying to alert everyone in the ground to the fact an opposition player brushed past them.
