But for two stupid mistakes from Sterling and Mendy, we'd have beaten an in form team with ten men. Strange for Pep to sub KDB
They have a totally different style to us. They dog it out, get everyone behind the ball, VvD gets in the way of opposing strikers they and rely on TAA out-balls - make fewer chances but are more clinical. We play a much riskier (risk and reward) style and rely on keeping the ball to limit the opponent's chances and don't flood our own area with blue shirts. Tonight (last night) for all Wolves' perpetual motion, we gifted them two chances - two chances they didn't create. But fair play, they were alive to our 'gifts' and pounced.Yeah but it’s the 30% they don’t win that counts, how many goals have they lost this season compared to us? Bottom line is they make more missed tackles than us but still concede far less. I know which stat I’d rather have.
How can you not rate Ederson after last season? Yes he made an error of judgement. Every player does that, that doesn't make them a poor goalkeeper. Your comment that Ederson is a poor shot-topper is not true.Has anyone on Twitter asked him why he was Shepherding the Ball out of play to secure a Wolves corner ?
I dont actually rate Ederson as a Keeper.I think he is great with his feet, also his Eye for the occasional killer Pass is exceptional.His general Goal keeping is not very good,he rarely if ever makes a decent save,his positional awareness is not that good either.
we concede way too many goals from few chances.The defenders mostly get the blame because they are the last line of defense. People forget we also have a keeper that rarely saves fuck all unless it is directly aimed at him.
Tonight was School Boy stuff from him.It dont matter if there was contact or not.The attacker will always milk that kind of situation for all its worth.You come racing out of your area like that you are giving the Attacker the chance to simulate contact even if there is none,and giving the referee the opportunity to give you a straight Red.

Sheff Utd in less than 48 hours. he's protecting him from himself because with 10 men he's have run himself into the ground.But for two stupid mistakes from Sterling and Mendy, we'd have beaten an in form team with ten men. Strange for Pep to sub KDB
Yeah, makes sense but one game at a timeSheff Utd in less than 48 hours. he's protecting him from himself because with 10 men he's have run himself into the ground.
Gloating Liverpool fans might like to reflect what would happen should they lose van Dijk to injury, or Mane, or Robertson etc. There are some players where a squad has exceptional cover, for example City lost KDB and carried it, but injuries can happen to anyone. Ideally you get cover in but sometimes it's not possible. How long did it take Klopp to land VVD? Years.They have a totally different style to us.

You can't ignore it. We should still have been able to protect the lead with what we had.Yeah, makes sense but one game at a time
According to the MEN web site KDB was subbed so he would be available for the next game.But for two stupid mistakes from Sterling and Mendy, we'd have beaten an in form team with ten men. Strange for Pep to sub KDB
