Soft as shite. Only Thiago willing to put a foot in. Is Henderson under strict instruction not to tackle anyone?

 

He must be - two of their best changes came from Henderson's passive approach.  One of which he gets nutmegged from a non-tackling position rather than crowding the player out.

We seemed to put everything into that first 20. We let them back into it then. They're getting in behind our midfield and up to lukaku to easily. They've also sat back and are trying to hit us on the break since that 20.

Need to do much better at that.

A decent half of football. 

 

We needed to score in the first 20 mintues when they were more open. Now they have gone to a more coherent block its going to be hard. 

 

Thiago made a few mistakes that were disappointing from such an experienced pro. 

 

Alisson magnificient as usual.

He never commits to a challenge, he always tries to get as tight as he can and nick it. Don't know if that's a coaching thing with him but it's certainly very different to how Fabinho plays the holding role.

Thiago has won more ball than Keita and Henderson - and has been our most creative player.  Salah going off would normally be a huge blow, but there was no sign he was going to do anything in this game.  Still woefully short of his best form.  

 

Jota and Mane will score in this game.

That's why we bought him.

He never nicks it, the opposition player just does exactly what he wants to do.  It's so fucking depressing to watch.

Jota on the right isn’t working, but Mané through the middle has been too good of late.

 

We largely controlled that half, Mo going off is shit but more so based on how they have to play him than his current form. We need to be more decisive in the final 3rd for me and clean it up at the back as when they’ve gotten at us they’ve had great chances.

 

I think Trent’s getting pulled too central, not sure if it’s by design but it’s not going to work with Jota out wide, we need him crossing now and obviously defensively it puts him in a bad spot when we lose possession.
