Leaving aside the selection, and the lack of transfers etc. 2 things:
- not just the back 4, but as a team we still can't defend set pieces
- thought the substitutions today were terrible and took any wind that was in our sails, out.
Origi when I've seen him preseason looks off pace, and not fully fit/sharp, a player who has big swings in form, up and down. Did he touch the ball after coming on? No clue why Solanke didn't come on, who has actually looked sharp.
Ideally our CBs would be more dominant. Hope we sign VVD. But last goal was a F***ing sh*te attempt at a header by Gini, followed by a meek effort from Migs to make the space, and ball, his. First goal I think Firmino looses his man. Matip doesn't get off the ground. It's not just down to the CBs though, anyone in that box should have a job to do, but continue not doing it. BR got lacerated for not being able to get the side, and defense, to defend. Things haven't changed under Jürgen, yet.
A dominant CK and CB though would make a diff. But that's old news. Was this not part of the big summer transfer plan then?!?!
