We have been sloppy in defence a fair few times tonight and its cost us .gaston looking good again tho
Why? We had a good 20-odd minute period in the first half, apart form that we've done very little of note. Liverpool in total control in the second half.
Ramirez makes a few pretty touches, but he does **** ALL defensively. Because of this, Chambers hasn't made any attacking moves in the second half at all. First half he was all over it, cos Davis was covering him.
There was a lot more space for Chambers in the first half. Liverpool are ahead and sitting back now. Nothing to do with Ramirez.
Would rather be losing the way we are losing tonight, than winning the way West Ham won against us. _________________________________________________- West Ham were actually pretty efficient, not half as bad as the visit to SMS. I'd take an butt ugly win at this stage, easy choice.
Apart from the scrappy goal in the first half we played very well. This half, very little. Can't understand why Davis came off as he was having a good game. We have a serious lack of pace down the lines though. Season is over. We will finish 9th this season.
Not really. We've had games where we looked like a team playing for nothing, but we were the better side until the second goal. Hardly looked like a team that couldn't be bothered to me.
The fact that Liverpool were able to sit back and hit us on the counter after they got the second might have played a role in it...the space that was present in the first half largely disappeared.
