Sam please do not ever play the chuckle brothers again.
Bamford is an embarrassment closely followed by the other brother Harrison.
Ayling poor again and Sam, Struijk is not that good so don`t bring him on to help our defence.
Other than that I`m relatively pleased we did not concede 5 or 6 thanks to poor finishing from City.
I actually thought Forshaw played well.

I`m sick of saying it Tad.
For a centre forward your first touch needs to be the difference of scoring or not and getting past the defender.
Sadly Bamford hasn`t done that for at least 2 years now and needs dropping for Rodrigo.
Even Perkins would be a better choice.

A good result all in all. Goal difference kept in tact. Were much more organised. Impressed given short time to prepare under new manager. I think we’d be safe by now if Allardyce had come earlier instead of Gracia. We’d have dug more points out.

They can take some confidence going into last 3. It will have made the players feel better.

They were improved in areas in that second half especially but also lucky city didn't get another one or 2 before half time then hitting the woodwork including the penalty miss.

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Sun May 07, 2023 6:27 pm  

City put 4 past second placed arsenal. it could have been 8.
very unfair to criticise them in such a way seth.rode there luck at times yes but stuck in and gave everything.

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Sun May 07, 2023 6:39 pm  

Don't think I'm criticising tad I'm just stating the obvious and did say there were improvements.
