Now let’s see if the tactics have been worked on. Drop the slow pass out the back, pass to wingers running into space and stop blasting the ball to Ayew with his back to goal while marked.

But would he actually improve? He would leaen more in a weekend at Man City than this club under managers like Marti and our squad. The same with Fatawu. Our creative wingers are being stalled by this manager. They have too many bad habits that haven’t been corrected and too easily slip into step overs mode instead of running into space to drive and cross. Thats all down to the staff. He will get drilled with discipline, tactics and accountability. Hold the ball up here and pass to the player who you know will be running to here. Now it’s hold the ball up, step over, cut back, nutmeg, pass backwards as you have no support and no manager drilling you to cross the ball or get into shooting positions.

He would have produced a lot more and been even better with a LB behind him who passed the ball higher up and into space and someone other than Ayew to play off of. All he got was scraps at best, the ball to his feet on the halfway line standing still with little to no support. He still managed to embarrass seasoned cloggers. He has shown he can shoot on target from the edge of the box, wish we saw the team play him into those positions more often. I can't wait to see him once he crafted his skills with an attacking manager and players.

I’m sure he became Liverpools top goal scorer in that game as well.

A well placed article in the bbc from a unnamed source who “believes” it “could” be X points. Then the ai and click bait sites will repeat it as fact.

And he makes it look so easy, his first touch sets it up for him to finish. He gets in the right position during an attack. If Bilal had that level of poise he would’ve a great player. The complete opposite of what Daka has done for the last two seasons. At this point can he really classed as a forward. There isn’t even a role he can adapt and pivot to as his touch is terrible no matter where he is on the pitch.

Reid is playing well in that role. He looks keep the ball moving forwards and has a knack of being in the right place to shoot first time. I’m impressed with his application. Wish Page was brought on quicker for him as a tired Ayew isn’t great playing deeper.

He seems calm on the ball and picking up the space that always gets left by the RB. Nothing fancy but nothing overtly risky which is great after Faes. I want him to score from one of Thomas’ long throws. I recall Enzo praising him for his passing and wanting him to be braver on the ball. I’m looking forward to his development.

He’s so much better when we play quicker. Good turn around from him.

No, he’s a crap defender. He can’t shoulder barge a player or tackle so he always grabs them, the cards stack up which might be a good thing. Keep at it Luke. Credit where it’s due like the Derby game.

That would be great from the club, with a donation as well.

I thought we hadn’t seen Thomas attempt the rock bottom on a player this game.

Or just pass to the unmarked winger quickly. Our football looks a lot better when the idiots at the back stop pissing around playing slowly.

That they make too often. They aren’t good enough for this, so you night play out. They could’ve booted the ball out quickly not invite a press.

I can. They don’t need to do that slow routine inviting the press. JV doesn’t need to be standing there.

Invite the press and this happens. They can’t help but repeat these mistakes. This is what the manager should be stopping them from doing.

All because JV can’t help but slow everything down and take control. Take him out of the team and this doesn’t happen.

He seems a lot better and contributes when the defence aren’t pissing around causing their own pressure.

That’s the play that I want to see Mav doing more of so he ends up in shooting position. It relies on him passing ahead quickly and running into space.

Good job Hamza’s social media fans haven’t found this forum.

They sold a lot this summer as well for good money.

Unselfish and smart player. I like that he wants to carry the ball unlike many of the team. I miss having a player like KDH who would move the play quickly, we finally have that, for now.

Skipp was annoyed with that

He’s making up for the poor linesman decisions we’ve had this season. He’ll get in trouble after for not screwing us 😂

That was JV and Thomas levels of defending. This league is nuts how easy it can change. We were due a lucky bounce.
