Fernandes again. 3 goals. 3 players. They have so many who are likely. Quite incredible. Quite sickening.

There are people who hype him above Neuer and they need shooting.
I'm sure when we finished up with Gedson Fernandes instead a few on here were claiming we got the better deal
They've spent like a billion pounds, it'd be more incredible if they didn't have a couple good players
Never forget what they spent on Maguire. Never. They can literally throw money at the wall until they see what sticks.
Salah (P) (93') incoming.
This is the one time I'd actually be okay with that.
I think he has been very good the past two seasons and rightfully in that conversation, maybe not better but at least have a discussion about it. He certainly saved Liverpool many times over that time.
But this season he has clearly dropped off. Not sure if it is him coming back down to reality, him being tired from so many games, just a bad run but he is not near the level he was as evidenced as how awful he was on that goal and should have saved at least one, if not both of the others.
The drop off is a lack of defence.
You have a good defense, the amount of shots is limited, and the amount of top quality chances is even more limited.
Same happened with de Gea.
They've had a few injuries meaning back 5 not as stable. That would play some part. They are also playing deeper this year.
he never was.
when Lloris threw one in against Southampton last season, the radio commentary team said it was the 11th time a goal could be directly contributed to him
later the same night Sky did a "goalkeeping howlers in the premier league" table.
Allison was top. 12 goals against directly attributable to him by the bods at sky. he had been there for a seaon and a bit at the time.
It seems that everytime I see the dippers play, he present the opposition with a chance. not always taken, but always gives them a chance, he did against burnley midweek, he did today. Im sure he wont on thursday, of course, butthat would seem more of the exception, not the rule
I think that obviously plays a role in it as well.
I just remember Alisson bailing out the defense a lot more in the past.
The Greenwood goal is an example of a save I would see him make in the past after the defense let someone through like that. Not saying that is a save he should make, but one that he has in the past.
Good point although I think it would still annoy me despite that.
