Manes goal was correctly disallowed as it went in off his arm and that is automatically considered handball though weirdly , as Mito said earlier , if Salah had reached it and touched it in it would / should have been allowed .
Too long left with dead weight, now relying on dead Weight and dead weight lets ya down. Fuming with that result.
Sometimes we have this annoying habit of going ahead and switching off. Yesterday was a prime example of it. I know Keita went off and that seemed to affect the way things went, but it was like we thought OK 2-0 up we've got this, but all that happened was they sneaked back in and the inevitable happened. It's a bloody bad habit we have to knock on the head or there'll be more results like this. Bloody criminal and we got what we deserved.
Look this is about balance. I hear a lot if people whine about wijnaldum but I serious do not miss him staring down at the ball, taking 5 touches , turning round twice then back passing or running the ball over to Robertson then giving him a 1 yard pass. We are actually.missing thiago controlling things. I had said v city that kdb saw jones as easy mest and he just stood in that zone behind the lad and was constantly in space. We are missing fabinho as no one single midfielder tracks runs and fills in behind a konate type. We miss henderson lashing up and down the right side as he would cover trents blushes and force him wide. Jones was anonymous yesterday after 30mins. Got a few.touches as bissouma.tired but once Brighton mad a sub he vanished. Ox did literally one thing. We score and he is then absolutely pointless as a cm. Klopp moved half the side around to try find somewhere to hide him. Mane right wing. Salah central with no chance to run. Etc. As discussed before too many draws already and the better sides are picking easy holes through us. Brighton are a better side as are west ham next up and we have arsenal coming too how are on a massive run. If you.ignore the **** teams like Norwich and utd we are easy to crack defensively.
Think it shows we need competition for Fabinho. Picks up a lot of little injuries and we have no one that can do the job he does, even half as well. And by losing him we then have to sacrifice Hendo on the right and throw off balance of whole midfield. We need a number 6 and another Player that can cover CF and wide in January. Bissouma and Adeyami would be my ideal 2.
The stats are interesting on this game. All the successful presses in opponents half were by lfc. Every one. Their best shooter was mwepu. They were playing it up to their forward line who were only interested in knocking it back to on rushing midfield as they saw we were all committed forward. Most of the time their balls forward were aimless due to our press but as we faded we really saw them come into it. There really is no plan b. Its pile on or nothing. We should have knocked that on the head and say in two cms to break that up and left one (ox) to push up with the forwards to just stop them getting the ball forward that easy. Henderson never sat between the cbs when we had it or at least into a rcb slot. Constantly pushing on.
