Vinagre just over-complicates everything. Why pass after 4 step overs when you could take 6 and mess it up? Why cross when you could attempt to pull it back, right in to that defender whose been chasing you? Frustrating he hasn't progressed past that yet.
We were poor in the first half but to...
Donk still shouldn't be in defense. He's better with the ball than Bennett but he's clumsy and he loses his man on a regular basis. As much as I love Nuno I'm struggling to understand his persistence with it.
Tiredness without the players to rotate effectively. We're trying but our season's going to be a downhill slope if we keep flogging this group of players.
Almost relieved that we've one less set of games to play tbh.
So much to be proud of in this performance, especially from players who are usually on the bench. Viangre, Neto and Kilman all had cracking games and absolutely gave their best. They really showed what great prospects they are for the future. We restricted Liverpool to almost nothing, especially...
Well that was the best half of football I've seen us play all season. Defensively tight, winning balls in midfield, quick transitions. All we need now is the finishing and we'd be up by a couple by now.
Looking forward to the second half.
Against palace he pulled up at the edge of the box and dinked it in for Jota's equaliser, so he's capable of it. A bit more of that thinking on his feet would be appreciated.
Traore is much improved this season, but sometimes he has space and time to cross and puts himself under more pressure by running for the line anyway. Needs to vary it a bit to stop it getting too predictable.
We've offered nothing going forward. Apparently Besiktas are averaging two goals conceded a game so our lack of ambition is fairly damning so far.
At first I thought there must be something tactical at play with how backwards our passing has been, but I'm starting to think we're just short of...
Nice to see a full half of defensive stability after the last few weeks, we've dealt with Zaha very well. You can smell the penalty every time he gets in to the box though so hoping we can make something of the pressure pretty quickly in the second half.
Best performance in a couple of weeks so...
