I thought it was a typical Lallana performance - looked tidy and composed, and full of energy. But missed two clear chances to send attacker through and missed a sitter himself. Let's put it down to rustiness for now and enjoy the win
He won't want to be a super sub for us mate. Can't wait until the summer though when we can get some very good players in! (I hope!!)
only watched from 60 mins onwards. Unless it was before that the ref was horrendous for watford only. Clear as day save from mignolet out for goal kick. 2 incorrect offside decisions, one to send okaka away and 1 for a free chest/header for deeney called. Good win though under the circumstances of you visiting watford though
Tbf to Lallana the second chance was actually a good bit of play from the defender to get back and clear the ball. And the first unlucky hitting the bar too.
Oh yeh sorry, think he'll be happy to come on if needed, like you say he is always dangerous in and around the box
Well origis non running performance made me feel like roy hodgson watching gerrard and carragher trying to get me the sack. The urge to make owl eyes and rub my face as he ****ed up time after time was.. well overwhelming.
right i'm off to bed but last thoughts sod the performance 3 more crap games ending like that will do me.
Yup...we all said it... officials were awful. Second half mostly to Watfords detriment... In general Blowing up non existent fouls then ignoring pretty rough ones. Just plain mediocre supposed professionals...
no it wasn't, it was a terrible lack of composure but lallana culminating in a terrible touch which put the ball behind him which the defender could then clear
Cmon Jimmy, you gave Lallana a hard time earlier for not spotting a much harder pass. All he had to do was roll it squad and has a tap in. Level on GD with city, every goal helps. Studge was good when he came on but he needs to release the ball early not try and beat every player.
lol what did made me laugh was that rough tackle on firmino right at the end when he tried to shield it. Really knew how to deal with the time wasting!.
Shout out to Mignolet tonight? Thought he was very capable and confident claiming the high balls all game.
He's shown a huge improvement this season. Let's hope he keeps it up. The rest of the defence is still letting him down though.
Lallanas been out for months, come on and pretty much played 70 mins. Was clearly knackered and rusty so can give him some leeway for a poor touch there. His first touch is normally his strength so.
