WH Post Match

[DannyMan2006]

What was most impressing and what has been a feature lately is the patience in our game. It allowed us to get the control back from WH as they were on the ascendency in the former stages of the second half. That's our game and what we're good at. We just need to convert more from our chances but what can you ask more from this squad when we've had 15 different scorers this season. Maybe those players should score more frequently but that is a stat which shows we're heading the right way.

16 with GJ now I think?

Is it a blessing in disguise we're out of the Capital/Carling Cup? At first I was gutted, but thinking about the bigger picture we've already won it and it hasn't meant as much as it should. We certainly don't have a squad, including our reserves, that could have benefitted from any further games and now that distraction is over.

Last year we were not in Europe and rightly went for it. Great to win a trophy, first since 2006 - thanks Kenny. But this year, we don't have the squad. So yes, blessing in disguise.

Oh come of it mate. It's on the back of a tough tie in Europe and WH were flying after a win against the Chavs.

We've been running on empty fumes for a while now and it's a relieve we've no games in Europe to distract us now.

But by and large, we've dominated games this season, just lacking end product. Even today when you say our midfield was "run over" we still had 60% + possession. Not sure we were that over powered tbh.

I was only going on what I was seeing tbh!! And it looked too easy, especially for Diame to run straight through us almost unchallenged.

The possession stats can also be misleading and I don't really pay much attention to them. I reckon most of that possession is within our own half playing it across the back 4.

Right now for me the results are more important than performances, so I will be happy for us to just keep picking up the points even if we are not playing well overall.

It doesn't matter if we have possession in our own half as long as the opposition don't have the ball.

It does matter if you want to score though.

No it doesn't because we're trying to score not pass the ball to each other for the sake of it.

All the great Liverpool teams had that patience in them.

Yes they did, but lets not be blinkered in our view of our possession stats with this current team. We are a long way from where we need to be. However, with the personnel we have I think it is understandable.

[Scratch]

Unlike some of our fans who have zero patience.

[Fredo]

Of course but we're progressing and at that stage it's the most important thing.

Even with all the possession I don't feel like we're controlling the game. Agree with Tee we give the ball up and the opposition are right at our defence and at the rate we concede shots/goals we're soon in trouble.

I don't think we controlled the game today but with most other games this season we have controlled the game but just didn't take our chances.

This is the problem, we have the ball...pass pass pass pass..then we lose it, one long ball or run through the middle and we are stretched, panicking to clear it.

We need better movement and forward options to give the man in possession. We need to improve our pass and move football. Right now it is just pass pass pass but with very little movement and penetration in the right areas of the pitch.

[Fredo]

Midfield had a bit of a lapse/nightmare for 20mins or so between the end of the first half and start of the second half. Maybe it's down to tiredness because we played a fairly strong team in Udinese?

We'll be alright.

I think so as well.

But it does not mean we cannot come on here and discuss performances good or bad does it? Which is the feeling I get. Actually think twice before posting anything negative now.
