We've only really gone gung ho when we've been behind (usually early) and tbh, it worked initially as we got a goal or two back (e.g. Palace, Chelsea, Utd, Brentford), but then left us exposed to the oppo scoring again and winning.
Yeah - but even so there seemed to be more emphasis on going forward, which is one reason we went behind in the first place. We just seemed to be more structured last season.
that’s because as fans we watch football for enjoyment. And the ultimate enjoyment is seeing your team win the title. As fans, that’s all that matters and once title was won you just enjoyed it for what it is. Why as fans would you worry about anything else, especially as it’s stuff you can’t control. Yes if you worked for the club should have long term vision in mind and make sure prepared for next season etc, but as fans we have no control over that so why worry about things out of our control when in the grands scheme, we had already achieved the goal and given fans what wanted to celebrate.
You enjoy it when its done and when the cups picked up. You dont need to piss all over anyone looking at games and seeing clear issues.
Our target now should be top 4, no matter how far behind the eventual league winners we are. Any cups would be a bonus, but if we miss out on top four we will not attract top players in the summer.
You do piss all over anything that doesn't fit the greatest evers and always will be narrative Its not even a tiny shock you two are the two picking up on it.
Looking at tonight's team I get the feeling Slot is not that bothered about this competition. Can't really put my finger on why though.
Arsenal have gone with a lot of second team players, but have all the big names on the bench just in case.
Liverpool: Woodman, Gomez, Endo, Kerkez, Mac Allister, Chiesa, Robertson, Nyoni, Ramsay, Morrison, Ngumoha. Subs: Pecsi, Gordon, Kone-Doherty, Pinnington, Figueroa, Nallo, Pilling, Lucky, Laffey. Let's talk about positives Ramsay has recovered his fitness a little with u21s and is ready for sale Morriston played very well last week in the u19 euros and gets a reward Chiesa gets to lead the line Palace get a bye to the next round to win another cup.
