Not sure if lfc gave Williams a new contract like did for Phillips after that 3 month period but maybe priced himself out of a decent move
Already 1. Nyoni not at the races. Needs to wake up. 2. Leoni. Zero risk pass back to gomez nearly every time. Must do more. I know its your debut but for more is expected on the ball from.a lfc cb. 3. Robertson. Sinful ball into the middle again. Got away with it. 4..isak..lift it ffs. 5..chiesa mens business. Good for Southampton to have a go. Will be all piss and vinegar for 20mins
Can see the difference in quality in CM between Mac Grav in that they’re happy to have the ball in dangerous areas and play through midfield. At the moment everything is just in front of Saints as it’s slow but only passing to players unmarked which is cb to cb to fb to cb
Defensive line too deep. Nyoni absolutely jogging. Should be lashing about trying to impress. Press is dead as a result. Chiesa lashing aboit but not really getting anywhere. Defenders unable to paly forward so just tapping it short and back until they lump it.
Leoni there Finally carried it up.a little as in 3 steps. One man lashes at him.so he leaves 3 free and Leoni rolls it to endo instead who is asleep and loses it early. Didn't even see the space created by carrying it up. Must be better than that. Simple pass there wide and its a 2 on 1.
Better last 5 minutes. Moved the ball a bit quickly, pass in behind with a runner and suddenly got saints turned facing their own goal.
Jesus endo is so far off it. You can tell he's not had any time at all and even in preseason he didn't have much. Nyoni might as well go back to Leicester now. Miles and miles off even this standard. Ngumoha clearly is well able for it.
Gomes has slipped twice now when clearing the ball. Needs a boot change. Chiesa has dropped in a few times to receive the ball and link play.
Gomez.knew nothing about it. He's been on his heels or fallen over about 5 times now. Robertson hasnt arsed himself to support ngumoha at all. Not once has he got up the the kid or beyond him.
Dear oh dear. 30 yards space behind there. Joejs stops. Robertson stops. Ngumoha left with it and a pass to nobody on.
tbf alot our ex-players seem to be. It's like they resent the current teams success. Carra is very harsh about us but generous to our opposition. Its not like Micah Richards, where you can see it kills him to be tough on Man City
Warnock was summarily dismissed by Rafa i think. More of a villa head than anything. Puts a show on cos he can gain advantage.
TBF I do find it strange to expect a team that has never played together before, to be like a smoothly operating machine.
