Observations from the first half, Well organised defending as a team Liverpool no shots on target. Stuey looks back in form Danny has the speedness of thought that Rickie had, so intelligent Great set piece for the goal from JWP and brilliant through ball later Tella looks a prospect
Henderson will surely be moved into midfield. Which means I reckon a young CB will come on, probably for Chamberlain who has been virtually invisible. Need to put pressure on Phillips or Williams early if that does indeed happen.
Adams out, Redmond out, Macca out, Oriol out, Vesty out and now Moussa out And yet beating the champions
They’re really susceptible to our fast breaks and early balls behind their CBs. They really get no cover from Trent and Robertson. We just need to get the quality right of those balls forwards. We’ve done it a couple of times and almost scored.
Would add to this that Diallo looks brilliant, he is only 21. Also, Forster's distribution makes McCarthy's look good - which is hard to do!
Really pleased Ralph brought Tella on rather than Long. Good thinking there. Stu back on form, gutted for Moussa though, who was having a really good game. We have a player in Diallo, as suspected.
Yes we were so close with that final ball I can see us getting another on the break and then it will be tricky for Liverpool. They will come at us hard in the second half though.
