This was rough to watch today. Rarely will I say it but this ones on JK.
First the HT sub. Great to get Diaz but an-unfit Hendo should have been off. Fabio to the mid. I actually think the 1st goal is more on Hendo than TAA , he let that ball bounce at the edge of the box and it was over. Head it , hoof it out , anything. He's exactly what Millie was 4 years ago.
Which brings me to the 2nd Sub. Was Kostas sooooo bad that Millie had to come on? Really , whats the thinking there? Love him but it's one year too late for him, play in cups only if you have to. His PL days are over.
Elliot coming on was good but he should have started. He had no in'tl duty for 2 weeks. Theres alot of traing time for Klopp to work with him and tell him what he wants from him. 2 weeks to prepare for Brighton FFS and we're lucky to only to be down 2-0 at 18'
Jota for Bobby , didn't make much difference. Bobby did his work for the day.
And They tied it at the 83rd minute, why did it take him til the 89th minute for Nunez to come on? Whats he supposed to do in a handful of minutes that were left.
This kid needs a run of games to really see what he's about , he's not Bobby style , He's a big man poacher , header on set piece type of striker. typical #9.
With this squad we have now I think a 4-2-3-1 is the way to go. We have to keep the ball out of our damn net first. Fundamentals.
TAA/Gomez JM/Ibra/VVD Robbo/Kostas
Fab <or Hendo once in a while> Thiago
take your pick at front 4
Mo/Elliot Fabio/Elliot/Bobby Diaz/Fabio
Bobby /Darwin
Fab can cover Trents runs. Trent was at his best with a Hendo with legs could cover him . Thiago can pick out a deep pass. And we definitely have enough up front in those 4 forward positions to get a couple goals. Try it , what have we got to lose?
Mo is working his tail off it's just not going his way now, he lost a step but he can still contribute in other ways , and does. Hopefully the goals will start coming.
VVD , i dunno. Seems like something his head, like he's just not as aggressive as he was. Don't see him barking orders like he used to.
I cant' believe i wrote so much, must be the jack daniels talking
Peace out and on to Rangers
