We’re always on a hiding to nothing in games against the “big boys” so I just don’t understand why we persist in giving them so much respect. Might as well just go for it and get hung for a sheep as a lamb and at least give them something to think about by attacking and harrying them. We never seem to take this approach and it drives me crazy.
Fed up with hearing our players saying how we are improving and how confident we are and going into each game intending to win and then not turning up. We are going back to how we were three years ago.
Such a shame, Bowen looked good on his last penalty, way better than Rice has looked, but a very poor effort there.
Johnson's confidence seems shot this evening, I didn't think he was great on Sunday, but he doesn't look very good at all tonight so far.
And yes, as OCS says, looked poor by VVD, not a good look for football, could say typical Liverpool though, his manager must be so proud: entitled cheats, nothing less.
Winds me up when you’ve got pundits at half time saying van Dijk scuffing the spot is “part of the game”. I just don’t understand why some cheating is ok and some isn’t. (Not that I think that will have made much / any difference, I jus don’t see why they can’t admit that it’s not ok)

I don’t think we’ve been awful but we’re better before the goal. Defending deep is allowing Thiago complete freedom though and we have to stop that. We’re letting one of the best passers in the league to do what he wants.
We need someone closer to Scamacca as well.
We can still get into the game but Moyes has to tweak some things.
Can’t blame the penalty spot for that no matter how scuffed. Put your foot through it and provided it’s accurate enough the pace and power would do the rest. From his set up everyone could see where he was putting it so a soft kick is asking to be saved.

Yeah, that's made me angrier than it probably should. It's cheating. Simply that. But they have a good laugh about it in the studio.
If that was an Italian player in the Euro final would they have been laughing then?

Over to you, VAR...
Please make it count.
Also, Van Dijk churning up the penalty spot. Such a grubby side.

If Benrahma pulled that Fornals display, he'd have been yanked, I reckon.
Ah well, here we go again.
