It’s a lack of Rodri. We haven’t lost the last 45 games he has played, our last 5 defeats were without him. He links up the defence and the attack really well whilst also enhancing both areas, we need cover for him, Phillips couldn’t do it, maybe Nunes or Kovacic might grow into it.Strange though every game we look in it. We rarely look outplayed but we do look like a team who could let in a goal on any given attack the opponents have. Basically our defence is weak and lazy...not going up for headers etc..basic challenging..oh wait a minute just let another in today! Thats lack of desire not tactics
You really think so ?4 Points off top after that run of form is a gift tbh, if we can sort ourselves out by February it's ours.
Still got Spurs, Newcastle, Liverpool and Brighton on the road. Not fancying Goodison at the moment either.We have a chance - been to Villa and Arsenal and Chelsea West Ham and United.
That’s 5 real tough away games.
Enjoy the race.
A draw is possible there, that'll be the best case scenario. Let's be honest a draw there would feel like a victory.Already looking like a must-not-lose game at Anfield.
