I know we try to get the ball to the wide areas outside the pen box, but for the love of all that is holy, TAKE YOU MAN ON, try and run past him drop the shoulder etc. Then fall over a leg, who knows what would happen?

We need to start picking out the through ball passes to Haaland a lot earlier
The current attacking style, especially with our form after last season, isnt working and we are struggling
Open up the passing lanes and get haaland running at the goal. We have players who can make those passes, but it seems to ve only Kev that trusts his ability or Phil who will do it occassionally

it may brentford was more open vs Liverpool 3 days ago, but that is also down to speed of attacks.
first dipper goal was from a brentford freekick when everybody went ahead for a header and van Dijk cleared with a great long ball Jota headed it down to Nunez who could run 1 v1 and scored.
we would not clear it like that, we pass it around, wait, build up slow, wait for Brentford to reshape than start pass around their block good 60-90 seconds later. cant see Dias try a long ball clearance like that, he is instructed to do the opposite.
and then clinical finishing matters too, lets be honest Jota buries that header that Bernardo missed, and Salah would have scored that Bobb chance.
then all of a sudden Brentford couldnt not sit back as much, which favored dippers 3 days ago given they were 1-0 up after 35 mins so Brentford had to go for it bit more.

He is perfect for them, like another defender.Got to blame somebody…..
I hate the fanny wipes thing, but there's every chance you're right and we put em away in the second half. Can I put mine on backorder...?View attachment 107670

Even the pundits saying its too slow and predictable. Giving them time to get back. Dipper twats scored by being direct. Leave bob up with erl and just get a quicker ball out wen got chance to break.
Because he's shoehorning Alvarez in behind him now instead of an actual creative '10'Since haaland came back we look a less attacking team. How is this possible
