What I have to say is this.

Our performances mean a lot to me; it is not a good time for any of us in the real world so you go to watch a game to escape and frankly I am incredibly frustrated wathcing them crap out by not delivering. If we get one goal the pressure lifts a bit but stil lthis means A LOT.

so I apologise if I annoy you. It is through caring too much.

There are two parts of that banter stat:

1) We've had a lot of shots and a poor conversion but how many of shots are actual clear cut chances? We have struggled massively over the past 1-2 months with creating high volume of good shooting opportunities

2) and the most obvious part which is the strikers are underperforming. Mane and Salah (and Jota) should be targeting the 20% mark. That's the elite level and it's the level that Mane / Salah have been consistently achieving since joining.

And you're right about Salah - I really want him to more central because that where he makes the difference. Unfortunately, I dont think we will see him there until Hendo is back covering that side in midfield, which then allows Trent to bomb forward and occupy the wing which then allows Salah to drift centrally.

It's a knock-on effect. We've always been vulnerable to the ball over Trent's head but we've had the pacey defenders to cover. Without them, and as you say without Hendo, Mo has been tracking back more.
Mané has always helped out Robbo - they work as a pair a lot of the time, but Salah has been the outlet for the quick long ball. He still is, but less often it seems, and that's slowed our counter-attack down.

Footballers are human too and they can't always live up to our expectations.
I doubt any of them play badly just to piss us off - or even because they don't care enough. Sometimes things go wrong, and the solution isn't always as obvious as many of us believe it to be.
It's a hard time for most of the world. In the end, no matter how much we love it, football is entertainment and we're fortunate to have it atm. Investing too much emotion into it can only be detrimental.

Loved everything about jotas goal.

One touch, playing the ball instinctively, no over thinking, just play and move.

Been a while since I saw that from the front 3

I think Rui Patricio lost his bearings slightly because of the one touch nature of the build up.
Diogo saw the gap and exploited it, even though the keeper should have done better.

Actually, looking at it again I could be talking ****e. From another camera angle it looked like he had lost his near post a little but maybe not.

look it might have just been a teabagging, i don't know but i did rewind the game last night and the incident was certainly not much knee and bascially all groin ground into the lads face.

I'd be surprised if he is not still spitting out pubes as we speak

That's exactly. It was quick and instinctive, and the shot was taken quickly and caught him off guard. We had lost that zip and unpredictable nature to our play over the past months. Hopefully Jota being back will help spark it. Even Mane looked really electric last night.
