MikeO Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 Gosling! Who? Anyway, Liverpool v Chelsea in the semi so that should do for them; Spurs get the "easy" draw v Sheffield United. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted December 22, 2014 Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 Dont know if anyone is watching MNF but Neville is hitting the nail well and truly on the head. He is talking about Arsenal and Liverpool but the same comments apply to us. We arent playing with a high enough intensity in defence. Not enough pressure on the ball, not getting close enough to make a challenge, no desire to turn the ball over higher up the pitch. The quicker you win the ball over, the more likely you are to catch the other side unawares creating space to attack. We do it in small spells, some times a half here or there but we need to start doing it for 90 mins week in week out. There isnt one team in the league that enjoys being aggressively pressed.

MikeO Posted December 26, 2014 Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 Wisdom of Graham Taylor, top pundit... "Giroud just ran off there, didn't look at Arsene Wenger at all there as he went down the tunnel. He knew exactly what he had done there straightaway. You just have to ask, what has he done there?" and "I have to say this. I look where the referee was for that foul from Debuchy and he has the best possible view from five or six yards away and he makes his decision almost immediately.It w ill certainly be interesting to see what effect that goal has on the game. Will QPR press on in belief they can find an equaliser?" No Graham, I'm pretty sure they'll settle back and try to hold on for a 2-1 loss .

Maybe he just wants to move back down south? i thought the same thing mike! the article i read said he played there for 4 years and scored a killer goal that beat liverpool in the FA cup semis and is a hero to them. does seem a backward move, less transfer funds, smaller team, and worse team. maybe he's worried he's getting the axe.

johnh Posted December 29, 2014 Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 Just watched the first half of Liverpool v Swansea. Swansea play the passing game a lot better than Everton but still have hardly had a shot at goal. Its the same with every team that plays it, it gets so wired into their brain that they don't see the killer pass or the shooting opportunity. Always looking for the easy pass, even if its back to the goalie. Shelvey passed back to his goalie from inside the Liverpool half. The sooner Martinez dumps this game the better.

The speed the ball was played was 100 times quicker, made a world of difference. Again though, Liverpool won because of the energy of their attacking 3; closing down, pressing as a unit and breaking/countering as a unit. I don't want Martinez to give up completely but he needs to recognises the weakness and learn to adapt. He would do well to watch some Bundesliga pete0 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue 250 Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 West Brom scored 7 and Swansea got 6, we could really have done with a mega easy draw in the 3rd round, no goals against and a hatrick each for Lukaku, Naismith and kone.....you know a really easy game.
