"Plan B anyone?" The team has no identity or style of play which is something all successful teams need, with the current 3 on the bounce wins being down to the use of TT playbook and the quality of the teams beaten. April is a better test to see if the club has turned a corner. halfemptymuch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a car crash. Really awful. I guess we see things differently. Example, he was heavily involved in the build up to Felix's disallowed goal. Grew into the game, certainly. Easy to forget or dismiss that he has joined a team in a league that is up and running when he was effectively in his "off season" with Shakhtar.

Doesn’t help us at all but it does prove just how shit VAR really is. The issue is not VAR per-se, the real issue are the people looking at two similar tackles and one gives a straight red and the other gives nowt. The issue is the same one that's dogged the game for 30+ years and that is not enough good referees. Don't like VAR, our second goal (that counted) was only half celebrated at the game - people expected VAR to intervene yet again and give half a foot or toe or shoulder offside. It is literally killing the spontaneous moment of pure joy you get when a goal goes in. On the game, after our goal Leicester bossed most of the first half, we barely laid a glove on them in midfield and didn't press. Maybe that's Potters MO now. Look better on the break now, especially when Mudryk gets up to match fitness. There's lots to come from him, if he applies himself correctly. Enzo was great, most of the time - seems a little warrior to me. Kovicic and Havertz good. Cucurella did well again, maybe having Chilwell in front offers him the chance to get tight knowing he's got some insurance nearby. Koulibaly just needs to keep doing his simple stuff, nothing too adventurous to complicated and he looks fine. Potter hasn't turned the corner yet, still on the apex. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

''you will win nothing playing with kids'' said by a twit that is gladly no longer given air time. Counter attack is a very shrewd tactic.I think it suits us now until we can confidently go for world domination. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a Rolls Royce of a player and a decent pundit who was, unlike most of the ex Scouse scum , pretty fair. He is saddled with 2 unfortunate comments (the Escobar tragedy and the "kids" remark, but was much wiser and more astute than most ex footballer pundits and certainly the execrable Lawrenson. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
