The best chance and worst miss was Gudmundsson's headerNewClaret wrote: ↑Tue Dec 26, 2023 8:57 pmThe two biggest chances came in the first half, I thought. Decent one for Tresor(?) to get a shot away within seconds of the first whistle, then Amdouni should’ve played in Tresor early after a brilliant turn, held it too long and fluffed his shot. Think Brownhill then curled one wide after. All decent chances we should’ve done more with, not to mention the second half near open goals.
Not sure it was the half time team talk, it was the second disallowed goal that seemed to give us the impetus.Vegas Claret wrote: ↑Tue Dec 26, 2023 8:45 pmIt's been miles better recently, shame we couldn't put any away today but second half we played really well. Loads of positives once they started to believe, credit to Kompany for whatever he said at half time.
that's why Liverpool paid 65 million for Nunez (plus 22 in add ons), it's the hardest part of the game.
It is indeed.Vegas Claret wrote: ↑Tue Dec 26, 2023 9:29 pmthat's why Liverpool paid 65 million for Nunez (plus 22 in add ons), it's the hardest part of the game.
Easy apparently according to KRBFC and GhandisFlipFlop - any dosser can bang 49 PL goals in 144 apps for Burnley!Vegas Claret wrote: ↑Tue Dec 26, 2023 9:29 pmthat's why Liverpool paid 65 million for Nunez (plus 22 in add ons), it's the hardest part of the game.
Say all you like about improved performances, but the reason we will go down this season is we are poor at both ends of the pitch - too many soft goals conceded, no cutting edge up front.Vegas Claret wrote: ↑Tue Dec 26, 2023 8:45 pmIt's been miles better recently, shame we couldn't put any away today but second half we played really well.

This backs up your point, our “passes into the opposition box” is the lowest of all 20 teams.CombatClaret wrote: ↑Tue Dec 26, 2023 10:28 pmIn the interest of stats over feels, our number of shots & XG going backward a few games
9 (0.97) Liverpool
7 (0.42) Fulham
14 (0.81) Everton
6 (1.05) Brighton
12 (0.78) Wolves
19 (2.6) Sheffield
11(1.44) WHam
8 (0.3) Arsenal
17 (0.5) Palace
6 (0.9) Bournemouth
In our wins against Fulham and Luton, our opponents had more chances and were of higher quality.
Your dead right, we should have equalised, but then Liverpool I suspect would simply have gone into 2nd gear.TheFamilyCat wrote: ↑Tue Dec 26, 2023 9:26 pmNot sure it was the half time team talk, it was the second disallowed goal that seemed to give us the impetus.
Really should have equalised during that spell, then who knows what might have happened.
Movement to receive imoCrosspoolClarets wrote: ↑Tue Dec 26, 2023 10:33 pmThis backs up your point, our “passes into the opposition box” is the lowest of all 20 teams.
That is a massive issue. Annoyingly, we look really dangerous in the setup phase, it is the final ball that lacks, or the movement to receive it.
and if we drop we will be strong next season.

Fact is, this team has been learning on the job for half a season and that’s a luxury no team can afford. Our situation now is almost irretrievable.
Don’t make stuff up coolclaret. I never said it was easy. I said that 49 in 144 doesn’t tell the full story.CoolClaret wrote: ↑Tue Dec 26, 2023 9:49 pmEasy apparently according to KRBFC and GhandisFlipFlop - any dosser can bang 49 PL goals in 144 apps for Burnley!
