I think we appear average against Liverpool because we can't beat them. Thursday's game was truly woeful but the previous one was a decent game. Win today and we're back in the mix and looking ok. There will be a lot of teams below us wishing they were in our spot.
If we were in 10th with no cup finals to look forward to then I'd be pissing on Jose. As it is we're just having as weird a season as everbody else. Frustrating, yes, but I'd argue not dull, in part because the team are like James McAvoy in Split and we haven't got a clue which identity will turn up to each game.
Loads of matches to go. Let's see what today brings. Might just be The Beast.
This is sarcasm right? Yeah we're suddenly gonna start winning every game we play. It's not as though we've been on a downward spiral. Any second now we'll become unbeatable world beaters....any second now...Checking in this thread to laugh at the spastics in advance.
In before we win the league cup, get top4 and get into the EL final.
Consider me a convert, Matt.We look at least as bad here as we did Thursday
Believe me yet?
I'm not sure what you're going on about. We easily could've played with Aurier-Sanchez-Toby-Dier-Davies. I'm quite sure Sanchez/Toby/Dier have played together several times. Playing Doherty at LWB was lunacy, he is garbage even at his preferred RWB position.Without any training session, you would make a change(s) to the back 3 by adding a non-natural LCB (might even have to reshuffle to accomodate toby) and then also move Davies from the LCB position he had been training to LWB just for his limited offensive contributions. That would propagte the problem from just one position (LWB) to 2 or more positions. Dont think it was worth it.
If there was time, we could hae explored andtrained for it or even go to a different formation, but I dont see the musical chairs being better than putting a RWB at LWB.
