Still in shock. Was almost ready to give up and go to sleep
Btw, Maignan is a beast!! What a guy
Kessie and Benna are our weak links atm though. We need to put in someone else in midfield that can help out. They're getting overrun

But in all honesty, we started this game in a horrendous manner. Only Rebić and luck got us through the first half.
Bennacer is having a horrible game, Kessie seems off. Hernandez is showing how poor of a defender he is.
I think Pioli needs to change his midfield. Why is Tonali not playing?

QUOTE (X-Offender @ Sep 15 2021, 10:49 PM) I'm speechless. Never went from shockingly terrible to leading 2-1 so quickly.
We need to stay composed. And by composed I mean calm and attentive. We need to avoid the childish mistakes we've made in this first half. Even the simplest of passes or ball controls were horrific.
Hopefully this lead will wake the players up and boost their confidence. The midfield is at fault here.

A huge part of the problem seemed to be nerves rather than tactics or general setup. You can't do much about that.
Aside from the nerves. Liverpool started the game off to a blistering pace. So combine the nerves with a style we rarely deal with in the league and it resulted in what we saw. Benncer, Theo, Kessie, Calabria. all were making BS passes that they never usually make. Obviously Liverpool's press was practically suffocating us but add the general nervousness and I honestly don't know how we held to just 1-0
But yes, Pioli needs to change things. I'd personally take off Leao and switch to a 3 at the back. Bring on Romagnoli
