Absence makes the heart grow fonder. Richarlison has not been good enough since Anges 2nd season.

He's become that true, I don't think Marmoush is as good honestly, but I see similar traits. If given time and the right components around him I think Marmoush can work. We have to get the other part right though. I'm harsh on Solanke because I don't believe he's a real solution but sometimes he might be the best option, but mainly I think Maddison, Savio, Kudus and Fernandes all need to be on the pitch and firing. That's the template. Will it work? I don't know, but I see the idea.

I thought he was ok today. That run into the box and pass should have resulted in a goal.

He also was either denied by a worldy save or should've scored. Far better cutting in from the left. This is where Robbo can be very helpful to our shape until all options are 100% and we can play Savio and Kudus in the same side!
We got rid of our last Argentine clam .. guy is a fudging clam .. glad Tosin wound him up
Gray is good at 90% of being a FB, he gets exposed at top end of pitch (makes good runs, but not necessarily good decisions), and he's badly exposed 1:1 as a FB (never should have let Gakpo turn inside for the goal, Isak murdered him on a take on later in the game). Not blaming him, but people who think he's anything more than cover at RB at this level are missing a bit of the picture.
Well regardless of result I enjoyed watching us play football, our passing was good and broke the line multiple times with some really good moves against an aggressive press - that's not something we have been good at for some time.
Also encouraging was the fact only 2 of that team started the league game showing that the whole squad is adapting to the way RDZ wants to play. Obviously you have to criticise the finishing, but to outperform Liverpool on all metrics at Anfield (bar the most important one of course) isn't something we usually do. Impressed with Tosin on his debut, and thought Bergvall did well. Definitely things to both work on and build on, and hopefully can break our duck against Villa....

Doesn't matter if they "gel" and are able to play themself out of a phone booth. None of our players have a hunger for goals. And even if they wanted to score, they can't hit the target or miss the keeper.
We need players who, no matter what, just wants to put that GHod damn ball in the net! Want to win at all cost! We don't have a single player like that. They just want to play. That will bring us nowhere.
Actually that's not right. It will bring us straight down to the championship.
We need a real goal getter first thing in the transfer window. Preferably two, because if we only sign one, he'll get injured in the first training session.

We've all seen us play much worse at anfield and get tonked 3-1, the score flattered them, that game could have went either way.

I never thought we were going to win though. Plus I thought as Ive said before the performance lacked the aggression I've come to expect from RDZ teams.

All of last season I remember bricking it everytime the opposition got the ball. I never got that feeling last night or in the past couple of games, I felt more excitable at chances we created and should have scored vs nervousness at what they created. And the metrics of the game reflect that....

How much of that is the ptsd we all have from visits to anfield.
We have to sign someone in January.
Who would you be looking at? It’s notoriously difficult in Jan we’re told.

And yet we need a clam to stiffen our resolve and stop us being so naïve and nice.

More good signs. More chances created last night. Some neat interplay. The play out from the back is still terrifying and largely counter-productive. Tosin did very well. Better running off the ball by Marmoush, good drives forward with the ball. Kuddus game time. Maddison game time. We really must attack that six-yard box. If Robertson continues his run as Savio shoots, it is a tap-in and 2-2. With chances being created there will be goals.

Yeah I get the positivity. I'm tempering mine because although I didn't expect a win I did think we could sneak one (30% win chance as opposed to 15% usually). They were mostly playing youngsters and haven't had a great start themselves,plus have a new manager finding his feet. I definitely want to see more aggression from us though and disappointed when RDZ says we are not yet ready fitness wise. However, injuries have blighted 2 seasons now so I do understand him wanting to protect players more. More disappointed at losing a route to Europe.I never thought we was going to win because it was Liverpool at Anfield
