And it most also be awful playing behind a midfield that gets simple balls played straight through it.


The problem is a mix of both

Correct but there's a few points here

Midfield is anonymous today. Wijnaldum has been utter ****e again

But defensively if your midfield isn't pressing you don't try and play offside. That's basic U10s football

Shame Gomez can't play in midfield, he's the kind of person we need in there, power, pace, defensive..

Aye, our problems usually start in midfield.

So is this a coaching issue or a player issue?

Stick Mane on the left for a bit.

Embarrassing defending once again. Clearly an issue of lack of talent, summer transfer window continues to haunt the club. The shabby defending must knock the confidence of the entire team.

Another offside goal against us and another stone wall pen not given. Amazing how these honest mistakes are never for us.

That's basic defending that you are taught at junior football.

He is on the left

Keita was Klopp's number one target so that will tell you something. Our midfield talent has been mediocre since Alonso left, somehow this is not often discussed.

Henderson should be at a club like Burnley.

Neither is true.

I think Wijnaldum has been miles worse than Henderson today

Terrible terrible player for me. Too slow wants too much time on the ball and doesn't win possession

He ambles around the pitch and does nothing

[Fosterbloke]

Sherwood and Curbishley talking sense shocker!
