I think we need KWP on for Taylor. All the danger is coming from that side. Also KWP will compliment Fraser more IMO. It will make us more solid at the back and as a result more confident going forward.
The go long option is very credible. They are pressing high and cutting off balls into midfield. Archer needs to be bringing the CBs to the halfway line so that there is space for Fernandes, Fraser or Dibling to run into. Fernandes did it once and got the ball and, imo, could have cut in and shot instead of hitting a bad pass to Fraser.
Close again. Interesting just then - we hit a long ball, then picked up the second ball in an attacking position. Just a thought.
Still managing Lallana’s minutes, which is good. Fraser put in a good defensive shift, Diaz needs to match it. Let’s see if Stewart can hold the ball up
