It was his team doing it the length of time taken for goal kicks, passing the ball from Van Dick to Allison then to Konate was unbelievable it was also on their throw ins that took an eternity (Liverpool players being warned about it but no action) the 15 yard steal up the pitch out of defense for on 1 throw in by the East Stand not to mention the amount of times Hooper had to intervene with the grappling in the Liverpool box by Liverpool players
Exactly - "Opta's statistics indicate the ball was in play for 40.8% of the match" I'd love to know the break down on how long they wasted of the 60% compared to our lads...
Why would we play for set pieces lol We are probably worse than the average Championship side at them
I just think those 5 points missed will bite us in the arse at the end of the season. Last season we scrapped through on goal difference. We need to change our mentality as a fan base. We arent the plucky underdogs any more. This proud stuff is all well and good but go on the forums and its Liverpool find a way to win again. No one cares about the performance in next few weeks it's the points on the board. From my negative view this has been the start of our season: Lost star striker to Liverpool and Man U Our striker on strike and wanting to go to Liverpool We have Osula as only Striker that Howe doesnt trust We have lost our left winger for 3 games We have lost our CM pairing for 1-3 months We have thrown away 5 points because out recruitment team cant seem to find a striker that can score more goals than Wilson ( 0 goals) But we have put good performances in. To me, we are in the **** but everyone is saying, smell the flowers.
Not sure why Trippier isn't taking the set pieces if he's on the pitch. Going to lose my mind if Elanga doesn't find one of our players from a corner shortly. Don't think he's made one successful cross to a NUFC player.
We played well but it means nothing. Liverpool on the other hand played ****e in two matches and have 6 points. Thats the difference at the moment, we are proud and they just grab the points. Points make prizes
Not sure "in the ****" is the right representation of where we are at currently. Like I say I'd have taken this before the season started as a start against two very good teams but equally I'm disappointed to not have another 3 point on the board yet as we are probably worth them based on the performances. If we get a striker in before the window closes who can finish the chances we are creating we will be where we need to be at the end of the season.
I honestly think i'd put Schar on corners..yes you'd lose his threat in the box but i bet he'd put a good delivery in.
