Isak injury could be a tipping point regarding tonight's match. Whatever combination of midfield/attack we come up with the team is going to be unbalanced. Square pegs for round holes.
Ditto. Last week we played under the roof at Marvel, which demands a small mobile team and instead we went with Woosha's land of the giants.
This week we playing in cool,cloudy but forecast to be dry conditions when you could conceivably play a taller side and instead we go small. 1 KPD.
Let's...
John Barnes didn't, but was still a good player albeit as a deep lying playmaker rather than a flying winger.
Hopefully medical treatment of achilles injuries have advanced since the 90's.
We could go a season without 4 deflected goals never mind in one match. Somedays your luck is in.
West Ham can't defend but when they were on transition we always looked vulnerable. FWIW they had the better xG, 1.83 to 1.73. As I said sometimes its better to be lucky than good. At times we were...
My attitude to this game will depend on the prognosis of the Wirtz injury.
I'll just say this for now, we all know what Ekitike needs to work on during the summer. Man City/Brighton/Forest. All absolute sitters. Can't afford those sort of misses from a no.9.
Solid win against Brighton. Forest have appointed their new head coach. Slot and his minions will have to do their homework over over the next week to anticipate the style of play we can expect from our next opponent.
Of course there's also the so-called "new manager bounce" factor, though...
That's one of the most tortured analogies I've ever read.
As someone mentioned earlier, we revamped the midfield a few years ago. That's sorted for the time being.
Last summer we pretty much revamped the attack. Isak, Ekitike with Wirtz feeding them, once all are fully fit and settled should...
Too much of a tease. 85 runs in 4 digs. not good enough. We still need a 5th bowling option so time to bring back Webster, though I'd acknowledge that he hasn't made a lot of runs lately.
Just coming on to say that I've never doubted Khawaja and anything you've read on this forum to the contrary is clearly the result of hacking.
EDIT: I reserve the right to do a complete backflip if he's out straight after lunch.
Anyone else concerned that captain Pat comes straight back in to a pivotal Test with nothing but net bowling? I think given that and the predicted conditions Green will have to shoulder a bit more of the bowling load. He needs to step up, bowled pies in Brisbane.
Don't care how people react to TAA, be it booing cheering or the silent treatment. But thing I won't put up with is anyone telling Liverpool supporters how they ought to react.
