"I put Bissouma in my fantasy team this week and made him captain - I'm even more Spursy than Spurs." - Andy, Staffs GET HIM!!!
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.
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
