As always a neutral view of what happened and why, it certainly seemed to me that we stretched ourselves and regardless of as you put it the bad officiating which I’m afraid our team doesn’t yet have the experience & maturity to overcome for me 4 players need to look at themselves in the mirror.
In defense Badiashile & Disasi directly responsible for 2 Liverpool goals.
In midfield Enzo & Connor who allowed the midfield to be over run by not closing the spaces up and denying Liverpool the ability to over run us.
None of us know just what the gameplay instructions were and how soon Poche tried to adapt them, we certainly played better in the second half but the damage had been done by then!
My one criticism of Poche is bringing Mudryk on im erring on the side of he needs a spell not even on the bench.
so we were basicly playing exactly how you not should play at anfield, very high line with slow centrebacks against the team thats probably the best in the world at running in behind?? And with a very bad high press so they could measure the passes over us time and time again.
When i think of Liverpool, especially at anfield, the one thing that comes to mind is, dont let them counterattack you, be compact and tight, we were the opposite, this one is on Poch.
Great analysis as usual! I find that we see things in a very similar way! I do wonder if it was poch's instructions to not press as intensely or if the players just weren't doing as instructed, would love to get your opinion? My biggest issue with Poch in general at the moment is our build up play looks terrible 99% of the time because there are such big gaps between Enzo and Caicedo and Gallagher isnt a good enough 10, Enzo needs to be deployed as prover pivot and make the runs forward later but Poch is obssed with this 4-4-1 style and Gallagher. We always look slow and predictable because there is only ever 1 option and we never create overloads! I found it hilarious on the decision making video it was sterling both times he really is terrible. I dont understand also why all year our defenders are always backing off and letting players run at us, if Badi or silva set up to jota and make him beat them we dont concede.
Well said my friend, im not so sure, because we looked set to press then we then backed off, it might be the players let Anfield get to them judging by the way Poch says, thats is not how he wanted his team to play but lets see what happens today v Villa
