What was Ole really trying to say with that boxing analogy?
Could it be this?
"It felt like we were a boxer being punch drunk”
Klopp exploited all of our weaknesses
“We got knocked down in 1st”
We were 4-0 down at half-time
“We had a chance, we conceded”
Bruno blazed over when it was easier to pass to Rashford; but Bruno knows that our tactics are solely about relying on moments of individual brilliance, so Bruno was correct to go for glory rather than pass to Rashy for a certain goal. Passing to Rashford would have been the incorrect thing to do because we don’t want fans to think we play as a team, because that is the last thing we do.
Yes it is true that we conceded within minutes of Bruno’s miss.
“We wanted to sort it out but we went open”
My absolute lack of tactical acumen at this level meant that I could not stop the onslaught.
“See Tyson Fury when he gets knocked down. It’s remarkable how calm he is. He counts to 6,7,8, gets up. We got up too early."
Just look at me on the sidelines and how relaxed I was.
I thought the goal count was going to be 6, 7, or 8.
We should have had an extra hour in bed that morning.
