Bad decision by the Manager there then.
Like I`ve said many times I`m sure he`s a better manager than I am but he does make some bizarre choices from time to time.

I find it a convenient excuse by the club imo. However we have to be careful with FFP

That`s true mate and I`m not privy to the financial side of the club.
But a couple more astute signings and we will walk this league and reap the benefits long term.

Yeah agree. Bowen over Poveda would have been ideal but reading between lines Leeds didnt want to pay £15m now for him.

Plenty of question marks over the team at the moment, but you can't question their spirit. Could have scored 5 in the second half.

Still too wasteful

More worried about us defensively tbh. Ayling cannot mark to save his life and Alioski is shocking defensively. Cooper is bang average at best too and the keeper has decided he doesnt know what day of week it is. Left back is a huge issue.
BUT what great spirit and a fab performance in the second half. Alioski great going forward in that half same with Harrison and fair play to Bamford for getting into the right places. Huge win

agree. white is the only quality defender. another ridiculous foul for the penalty by alioski

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Wed Jan 29, 2020 8:28 am  

Spot on with the previous comments.
Alioski like Hernandez are always going to give something away when covering back.
Thought Alioski was good going forward though and what a miss by Klich which I thought was going to come back and bite us.
The defence that was so good at the start of the season has gone awol and is a major concern now.

Yeah was awful defence. To be fair Alioski is no left back hes been asked to do a job there. And the ball went out beforehand lol

They look very very nervous at the back. No playing as a unit. If we did go up which would be amazing that back 4 needs major changes apart from White

I think if we go up White might well be playing for someone else unfortunately.
I`ve never been that impressed with Cooper and Bartley made Jensen look good.
A seasoned centre half is what would be required.
