Can’t believe our fans still underrate our players “he’s fast so he’s good if he got space to run into”.
They can dribble with the ball so they can take on players, that creates space if a dribble is successful in a dangerous area because other opposition player will have to leave his position to cover the area and so on.
Muh speed ain’t all about space behind. Look at Liverpool’s front 3.
Ah right. Sorry, I thought the general consensus on here was that "We CaNnOt PlAy AgAiNsT tEaMs WhO dEfEnD" - I mean I see it in every single OMT when we come across teams who sit back. I guess all we needed to do was play Lucas and Son. If only we had a decent manager?
It isn't all about space in behind. But when Lucas has pretty much shown us that he's absolutely useless against teams that defend and Son is only good for long distance shots in the exact same circumstance, you can compare us to Liverpool all you want. Mane and Salah are streets ahead of Lucas and have much better close control in tight spaces than Son.
Liverpool also have a completely different coaching system and style of play to us for a start.
There's probably a reason Poch hasn't gone for it often, if at all.
