spacemunky Posted 21 June 2020 Share Posted 21 June 2020 Everton certainly looking the more likely to score here. Poor choice from Richarlison there. Lovren looking like Lovren. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hejammy Posted 21 June 2020 Share Posted 21 June 2020 It's great how some people thought it was all doom and gloom yesterday for us to draw away to Watford and even the "mighty" Liverpool struggled to score. Just goes to show how hard it is 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twister Posted 21 June 2020 Share Posted 21 June 2020 interesting to see the different levels off fitness on show some teams like southampton, chelsea and oddly newcastle have come back looking quite sharp. Others like liverpool, arsenal and sheffield united have looked less up to speed, a few are looking how can i see a few pounds over as well. Its basically like a long pre season really, I don't sense any of the teams will really get up to full pace before the july end. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its basically like a long pre season really, I don't sense any of the teams will really get up to full pace before the july end. Great observation, and I hope fans can be reasonable enough to see this is the case. Some of the posts in the match day thread were frankly embarrassing to read. Players haven't had a competitive game for 3 months and we don't know how many have had to self-isolate in that time. For any athlete at the elite level, not being able to train at all for 2 weeks is going to put you back massively in your fitness schedule. Even Liverpool and Man City looked rusty as did pretty much every team in some way. It's probably going to take at least another 2-3 weeks to get back to previous levels, though the games every 3-4 days will speed it up a lot. So I'm personally reserving judgement for a few more games, and will take any point gained as valuable toward our cause. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Understand all this talk of rustiness and you mention Citeh being rusty .. but they also looked absolute class and played some brilliant football. Who knows what happened to players during lockdown .. but what I saw on Saturday against Watford was disappointing .... backward passing and no cutting edge for long periods. We’ve all seen this before and it took some time to shift. I’m not panicking but we need to get our act together soon or we’ll slip down the league faster than a fast thing and undo all our good work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there's a difference between saying "I'm disappointed that our play isn't as cohesive or fast as it could be" and "LCFC are crap, [insert player name here] is garbage" etc. The way you've labelled your criticism here is fair and warranted, but not over the top. It's the difference between the type of fan that spends the entire 90 minutes complaining about the team, and the fan that gets behind the team but reasonably points out where we could improve in a constructive way. I know which fan I'd rather sit next to! Criticism is totally fair. Whilst by and large we've had a great season, we've had some stinkers such as Villa league cup and the home mauling to Liverpool to name two. But when none of the players are match fit, are playing with no crowd in bizarre circumstances and placed in a totally unique situation I think if ever there was a time to cut the players some slack, it's now.
