    Some of our attacking players have to do more defensively today.

    They won’t keep missing chances. This is going to be a bloody long half an hour

    it’s feeling like they’re gonna get one soon. I hate to say it, but some Conte style defending and counter attacks might be the better option for us now.

    Hojbjerg in the book. Ridiculous compared to what's been allowed, but awful defending.

    One thing that's standing out: we could do with a CM who's good in the air

    The fact we have Richarlison on the near post for corners, which obviously isn't possible now he's gone off, does amplify that we have pretty much 0 aerial threat in the middle of the park - and there's games where you need as many people who can win headers as you can get

    Can see us going down to 9 at this rate. And they’ll probably score right at the end and we will never hear the end of it from Liverpool fans saying karma

    The squad should be able to be play pure soak + counter-attack, 10 vs 11.

    Leave Son near the half-way line, as he
    is not renowned for his defensive work +
    stops their back line pushing up too deep.

    Always dangerous setting up to hold on
    to a lead at the expense of attacking creativity,
    10 vs 11 or not. :(

    Going that defensive with 15 minutes to go even with 10 men is risky.

    Win and you look clever. Draw or lose and it looks foolish

    Fine margins
