Maddison is not ready to start.
Play him for the first 30 minutes then bring on clogger Gallagher to protect our (hopeful) lead
Maddison is not ready to start.
one of which has been inexplicably sidelined for the managers ego trip
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.He certainly isnt now. He is a classical 9
I thought he was ok today. That run into the box and pass should have resulted in a goal.He is like Sonny
And needs to play off a striker
Then you will see the best of him
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!I thought he was ok today. That run into the box and pass should have resulted in a goal.
Would anyone be interested in Alexis MacAllister? Contract is up in 2028 and Liverpool apparently not going to offer him a new deal. Player a lot of games as a #10 for DeZerbi at Brighton.
Tosin looks good and steady. I like him. Maybe as standin RB too, as Archie was beaten too many times
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.Completely agree. I think if anything we are already seeing some small signs of gelling. Should have had 2 goals in first half.
Our players just don’t have the ability to strike balls like theirs, or to finish.
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....
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.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.
