All great ideas but we have already done those things and we still can’t win a game. What’s next on your list?

How to protect a one goal lead?

I think Connor showed us how today. COYP

One more point

Apart from Man City and Wolves in the last three

Agree entirely. I thought Benteke and Edouard was just what we needed at the time but in fact they added nothing of value. With five minutes left, it would have been impressive had we been able to keep the ball for, say, four of those. I put the watch on it. In the first instance, having been awarded a throw in, we kept the ball for seven seconds. In the next, eight seconds and in the third, seven seconds. Not impressive game management at all.
That said, this was a young side in, as someone has said elsewhere, 'a cauldron of hate', and it won. It has to be admitted, though, that only between the start of the second half and seventy six minutes did we boss the game and that's not really good enough. I hope that Eze and Olise can play in the same side, but it'll take time to bed in. Interesting to go for flair when the weather was awful and the context intimidating. In view of that, PV must feel vindicated.

i am getting sick and tired of having to bump this thread so often.

whenever we are one goal up, its very difficult to watch us.

Even the game at the Den. It was not as easy as i had hoped against a Championship side.

can we ever get comfy with a one-goal lead ?

Kayla did Anfield & Old Trafford
