The most excitement for a game since the CL final. I hope to to god we show up.
Bit of both I guess, he was nowhere near getting enough on it to put it out for a corner at the near post, but got too much on it to put it past the far post. It was a perfect finish. He couldn't just let it run across the box though. If he had left it and someone had a tap in then he would still look a mug.
I agree. There is a big part of the second half that was given to West Ham, however we still created two chances that could have meant 4-0 or 4-2. Either way, lessons are better learned early than during a EL final!You’re probably right. I think one of the effects of this game will be that Dier has been cemented as Joses no 1 CB. From now on it will be Dier plus another.
The broader context of what happened is getting lost. After the first 20 minutes, I don’t think we played great football. We looked sharp in moments but this wasn’t like the Utd performance where the clinical finishing was matched by positive possession. We thought we had won within 20 minutes. The arrogance of it is shocking. Jose needs to rip a few heads off.
Which is why is so sad that we're throwing points away like this instead of capitalizing.But every team in the league can do that right now. Everyone's conceding...everyone's dropping points...it's just a ridiculously crazy season.
I said this in my post-match thoughts... he and Lucas were awful trying to defend the West Ham players on our left in the buildup to the ball coming in. Made it far too easy for them.Brilliant going forward, shit defensively.
For the og he just stood and watched the west ham player who put the cross in
Yep. A proper DM & a CB upgrade would be lovely.Winks needs to be replaced with a proper DM.
When Aston Villa have the best defensive record in the league and Liverpool have the worst defensive record in the league, you know it's silly season.
We've actually defended relatively well, set pieces aside.
Whoa Toby had one of his best games, WTF did he do to upset you?Even think Toby is in that list. Throughout didn't really give me any confidence
Interesting point you raise there about the Bale chance - as soon as it went wide I was looking at the ref thinking he was going to give a pen.Lucas didnt follow the runner ( something he is guilty of quite often) I was asking for changes at 65 mins but I think thats what fucked us up, Winks is guilty of not putting his foot through the ball.lucas not following the runner and Bale for being rusty ( not totally his fault as I am adamant it was a penalty when he got pushed shooting the ball)
West Ham fans are getting the dvd's printed as we speak ...for a draw ...It shows how far we have come.
That’s not a new thing under Poch we had the same issue and I posted at the time and it was after a game v West Ham as well when Carrol played high balls into the box and time and time again we looked weakOur weakness is definitely defending set pieces
We do this every single time against these clowns, should be 8 goals up but we let them off the hook and they pull some mad luck out of their arseholes. And now we have a point at home to relegation candidates
Mourinho needs to stop with this tactic of letting teams off. Even against United at 4-0 up and a man up we stood off them second half.
When a team are there to be taken we need to fucking take them or this shot will happen all season.
Should have been 7 or 8 today if we had the bollocks
sickening
No Lo Celso today and Bale started on the bench.
It'll get better guys.
You sick fuckerIn case anyone wants to watch again.
