The thing is, Anthony Taylor was having himself a good game. Should have called the pullback foul for West Ham, but otherwise had an invisible performance. Thats exactly how it should be.
And then he inexplicably blows the ball dead and bungles the match in one moment.
For all Alisson's heroics today — three great saves in among the good ones — we've somehow contrived to concede two goals from 0.69 xG. how do we do it?
I think the most disturbing aspect of recent #LFC performances is that the opposition is not having to do anything clever to score against us. It's enough just to lob a set piece into the box and nod it in; or kick it long and chase it. I don't understand how four such superb defenders and such a great goalkeeper can make up such an ineffective defence.
I enjoy it when other teams underestimate any of our players.
On the other hand, the effect of some of our alleged supporters underestimating our players, and lashing out on ourselves here when they feel validated by the hateful media on their most basic instincts is what nauseates me most.
#LFC should by now have learned that the Everton defence is very strong in the air. There is no point hanging crosses in. They need to be driven in low.
Horrible start (again), but if any of the big chances were finished (Nunez & DIaz), we'd be far less concerned about the chronic issues in the squad (tepid starts & a lack of creativity moving the ball forward from the back).
The difference really boils down to finishing and fouls called (9-3).
The last 10 minutes were really good. There is reason for hope. #LFC
@mlawton the difference boils down that we have three forwards and only two of them are playing.
It's just easier to complain about Darwin and Lucho than it is to do a fair reality check to see that Mo Salah has been absent in the last three or four games.
The burden is on the senior champion, not on his juniors.
Deservedly down 1-0 because #LFC have been atrocious from the outset. Andy Madley has not helped with some really one-sided decisions, but that doesn't matter because the team has been so very poor.
