What is the stat for goalkeeper touches? I bet Onana is one of the top.

 

[RedDevilRoshi]

Sad to see so many people desperate to pin this absolute garbage on the manager, who said that he was sticking to his system all along. It's not his fault that our club has been filled with the least athletic and technically sound squad ever seen in the Premier League.

This. Our problems have stemmed far much longer than when Amorim came. He’s just seeing it in front of his eyes that we’ve witnessed for the past couple of years that these players are simply not good enough.

 

[Wing Attack Plan R]

Dorgu is the LWB, we aren’t going to buy another one and it’s quickly becoming evident that he isn’t a top 16 player.

Think you left out a digit there, friend.

 

[mav_9me]

I am sorry but I don't see much improvement in our play since Amorim has been here. Even if we do need new signings it's not too much to expect basic improvement in general play and pressing no?

 

[jamesjimmybyrondean]

Bournemouth Everyone has a better striker than us.

Bournemouth Everyone has a better striker attack than us.

 

[48 hours]

What is the stat for goalkeeper touches? I bet Onana is one of the top.

Include picking it out of the net and he will be top

 

[Hammondo]

We do though, it’s a combination of players, training and a low acceptable level of play. No team has to change virtually the entire first 11 before you see better performances.

We really don't, none of our attacking players are good, physically and technically poor.

 

[mitchmouse]

Urgh the Liverpool fans waiting for the title celebrations, how i miss enjoying us winning titles

Not sure we ever got this sort of coverage… the dipper love fest is embarrassing

 

[Dudu]

Good thing we have Højlund and Garnacho to challenge stats like that...

 

[Mmm-Qatarian]

I mean fundamentally, the most major issue is that we lack an attacker who can be relied on to score.

I'm not saying the performance has otherwise been stellar but we created about as much as Bournemouth in the first half (which is to say, not an awful lot). The difference is that their attacker leathered home their best chance, whilst Garnacho couldn't beat the keeper with ours.

This is why I think a player like Cunha is so desperately needed. Say what you will about his attitude, he's the sort of player who you can depend upon to score given half a chance and we are constantly being punished because we don't have that.

 

[christinaa]

Garnacho has been kicked all over the pitch.
I think it's about time our team start muscling other teams like they do to us.

 

[golden_blunder]

The irony being that this conversation about Amorim would be in the right thread if it wasn’t shut.

We don’t want match my match commentary in that thread. The match isn’t over. Comment after the match when you have the full picture

 

[Martial'sEmergingSmile]

Shaw has no business playing Premier League football.

 

[United Hobbit]

Why does Rasmus always topple over

 

[witchtrials]

Shaw and Malacia. Not saying they are LWB specialists, but they can play the position.

Shaw has shown time and again that his body is not up to running the line as a full back, let alone as a wing back.

If we want to get any use out if him it will have to be as a centre back.

That's the choice - will he be in central defence or the treatment room?

 

[Garethw]

Same thing against Newcastle. I don’t know why but teams find it so easy to attack through the wings against us

Because the wingbacks sit incredibly deep creating a back five and we then have no width. Opposition teams can then just attack that space.

 

[Walters_19_MuFc]

Dorgu getting a lot of stick but one thing he can do is deliver a good cross.

 

[FrankDrebin]

One person in the box ffs

 

[pascell]

Shaw has no business playing Premier League football.

I hope to God we don't start him on Thursday, he rusty as hell.

 

[cj_sparky]

Wonder how many of our attacking set pieces per game, end in our opposition get some form of chance on the counter attack.

 

[HankHill]

Watching Mazraoui at wing back is painful.

Move Dorgu to the right, drop Mazraoui back and push Shaw over to the left.

Even before subs that's more comfortable.

 

[VP89]

Shaw and Malacia. Not saying they are LWB specialists, but they can play the position.

Malacia probably wont be back and Shaw wont be fielded as a LWB. Amorim sees him as a LCB. We can't even count him on paper, because he's made of paper

 

[Dudu]

Garnacho has been getting absolutely battered by the Bournemouth players today. Dog shit ref protection

He's always being hacked at, especially this game, and rarely gets protection from the ref.

 

[Red00012]

I am sorry but I don't see much improvement in our play since Amorim has been here. Even if we do need new signings it's not too much to expect basic improvement in general play and pressing no?

We’ve stopped the 20+ shots that we had under ETH but it’s because we are basically playing 5 at the back

 

[Wilt]

Garnacho has been kicked all over the pitch.
I think it's about time our team start muscling other teams like they do to us.

Easy target he’s so small

 

[Ollie Derbyshire]

Not really, players need to step up. Players have been crap from last season, and we were playing with a back 4 and still shit. Those who keep harping about formation are clueless if they think a change in formation will suddenly make us better.

Those that don’t think playing a formation that has seen us lose constantly or trying to make changes to it are also clueless.

 

[Top_Bins]

just put fred and chido on. Nothing to lose

 

[United Hobbit]

Stop showing Liverpool, sky!!

I know we're boring and awful but...

 

[RedDevilRoshi]

How many times do they need to keep showing what’s presently happening at Anfield whilst a game is going on? Switch over to LFCTV if they want to watch that now.

 

[MrBrightside1989]

I thought Dorgu was meant to be fast? Seems very cumbersome and on his heels.

 

[Ronaldo's ego]

We get it, they’ve won the league.

 

[Bestie07]

Prioritizing Dorgu over Kerkez shows everything that has been wrong with our recruitment for years.

 

[Walters_19_MuFc]

Well played Maz.

 

[mav_9me]

How can it be that we don't have enough numbers in their box but their passes find their players in our box? Sign of a poor poor set up imo.

 

[Woziak]

It wont be over though will it. Early stages of Europe if we are in it. Only league cup and a few games into the league. We are not winning the league so top 4 will be the aim for next season. That can be rectified early. All cup competitions winnable. So no it wont be over early in when he will be sacked if this continues.

We are a million miles away from top 8 let alone top 4, when I mentioned a coach like Hansi Flick a year ago I was laughed at, now I mention a young coach like Glasner or we go get Raiola who wants the job, we need a coach, whose flexible, look at the coaching bench in the TV screens, they are young, have no PL experience and look lost and generally completely out of their depth..

Amorim system is supposed to be a compact 3421, it’s nothing like that at all it has spaces all over the pitch. I’d love to know what Garnaucho, Dorgu and Hojlund pass completion rate is in this game, could be less than 50%!

It’s madness that we paid compensation for Amorim and his backroom staff, complete sheer incompetence of the highest order.

 

[groovyalbert]

Needs transfers to be able to do that.

For his style, yes. But he's also not improved anything here. A good manager should be able to lift a squad, especially after how bad things were after ETH. Even Ruud managed that.

 

[hellhunter]

We’ve stopped the 20+ shots that we had under ETH but it’s because we are basically playing 5 at the back

We don't concede 20 pot shots per game anymore, but give up bigger chances. We're shipping even more goals than before

 

[redshaw]

Stats can be misleading, Bournemouth want to counter like Forest.

 

[spwd]

Include picking it out of the net and he will be top

 

[Vidyoyo]

Onana is actually a clown at times
