Having now watched the match, I’ve come to the conclusion Lovren wasn’t as bad as I’d expected, or what some portrayed. That shot from Son that led to their goal was travelling. If Lovren shifts that 1 inch higher it goes over, and everyone says terrific defensive header 😳
He still gives me the jitters but he wasn’t at all bad.
Hendo lost the ball leading up to the goal, I think because he doesn’t know what he’s gonna do with the ball untill he actually receives it. He then has too many touches, over too long a time, before he moves it on.
He was caught out two or three times like that. Top top players, constantly scan the pitch and have a mental picture in their head of where everyone is. They know what they are going to do before the ball gets to them. Hendo just isn’t that sharp.
Aside from that, everyone played their part in a resounding win, with three real standout performances.
If we had an attacking mid, as good as Fabinho is a defensive mid, we would be unbeatable.
Oh! Sorry, so far we are !
Great performance, massive win, three well deserved points.
