I think Winks has been poor, hes been bullied again amd given the ball away plenty

Winks making a big difference. Just keeps the ball moving. Intelligent player.

This. If some of our players in the final third had his quality we’d be passing through these.

We should have signed Gakpo when we had the chance. 

I don't think we ever really had a chance did we?  We were linked but no more.

[AKCJ]

Liverpool and Amazon fuming that we've not played as quickly as THEY want us to.

 

Bet they'll all be laughing when Alisson takes 20 years to take a goalkick when they're winning.

[StanSP]

Subs will be the difference too. We've only got Facundo to make a difference. 

 

They've got Jota, Diaz, Szoboszlai... 

[Gamble92]

Proud of the display so far but feel like that goal is a killer blow for us. 

 

Does feel like if we can nick a 2nd we could actually do enough to frustrate them all game but that's a big ask. 

 

Also must be the worst bench we have had in Premier League history

Best first half of this season?

[The Quick Brown Fox]

I've been his biggest critic, but Soumare has been playing well recently and is actually trying, fighting for the ball, sprinting and tackling. 

 

 

[Corky]

Will be a long second half but at least we are in the game. 

[FoxFossil]

Usually concede immediately in 2nd half, chase game, and then lose by 5. Need to teach them game management Ruud

 

[ozleicester]

jusy got up... 1-1 looks good.... how we actually doing

?

 

[ealingfox]

This coverage has been absolutely disgraceful

joke’s on them, we’ve got Eduoard. 

[winteriscoming]

Bounatte for Ayew second half. 
Still think we’ll lose but would like to see that early. 

[Bert]

I think it’s been everything we’ve expected apart from we’ve scored. Fully expecting a 3/4-1 defeat but feel like we defended really well in the first half. JJ has to be showing Gakpo down the line though.

Him and Soumare are our best midfield pairing atm. Not perfect or ideal but just seems to work and they know their roles

What ever happened second half, it been spirited so far

Not as well as the score suggests

Andy Townsend is an absolute helmet.

Gwon Bilal, score at the Kop end on 88 minutes and give them the ears...

I think he is teaching them game management already....they have been slowing the game down well. Anfield was quiet a lot of that half

I take it as far back as Winks losing the ball then hitting the bar from Salah, and yes we then break after and could of done better, the initial momentum tho swings from Winks losing it when it was easier to keep it.

That was more Ayew's fault anyway. Held onto the ball and took away any momentum, before a bit of a hospital pass to Winks

He was good again first half, looks like what we thought we were getting when he signed.

Looks like the player we thought we'd signed. Has the ability to just have people bounce off him too.
