They had like 250 corners, only one of them resulted in a shot on target

You can’t win a trophy with Tony Pulis football

Never! They should go back to the drawing board

Unlimited22:
Them play am tire today

Your chances of getting a result gets very high if you're able to stop them from scoring from the corner

patrickmuf:
Somebody tell the lads that we are playing Liverpool next, don't tell them it's Southampton...

This is what we expect from the players, fight, fight!!!

You're on to something. Looks like you've got them figured out. Just tell them it's city, Lfc or assnal next abeg

No corner no assnal

adebayo201:
Preseason is over... 😁 😁

It's over o. I have seen this before. I will trust them if they play against smaller teams with the same seriousness they have shown here. They have to make sure they win every first, second and third balls. Until then before I can celebrate small

Unlimited22:
That Martínez own Dey funny

Baba never reach ball, you Don dive go left

I think he dived left twice for that penalty. He took off, stopped, then continued again

Garnacho has two assists in two games now. A far cry from his selfish era when all he wanted to do was just shoot

Most of our penalties were even close to the center but Raya was so determined on diving left

aieromon:
To the left, to the left 🎵🎵🎵🎵

LMAO

Now they should replicate this spirit, mentality and performance against smaller teams

So we survived this game? Unbelievable

This Raya dey make me laugh sha

They should have just lost the match in 90 minutes. This extra time is torture and they will most likely still end up losing the game. Will they be able to recover on time for the next game?

Was that not Gabriel Jesus stopping Bruno on the edge of their box? That's the kind of mentality we should be seeing from our attackers too. Recognize a threat and make that run to stop that threat

CrystalTiger:
Garnacho not shooting first and asking questions later, is an improvement..

So many times he passed to Dalot yesterday, he'd have cut in and shot..I hope he keeps this on..

He is learning to be more of a team player. Hopefully he gets back on track with his development soon so he can start more games and offer more threat

nitrogen:
Amorim mentioned it himself na. And we all see it in the results. Lol. Abeg leave me.

That is not what Amorim said. Or maybe he has finally trained them and that's why they were able to get a result against LFC? I want to believe you're not trolling and very serious

nitrogen:
The players play like they have not trained in a long time. Yes, there are misplaced passes once in a while, but that’s normal, every team does it. Go check the likes of Real Madrid and Liverpool. Players are humans.

Onana is clearly not good enough. No one should dispute that. The set piece issues are on the set piece manager. We were not conceding those type of goals pre Amorim.

What are the things you see that makes you think the players have not trained in a long time?

nitrogen:
No, my point is, a bit of flexibility until you get your players would help. Don’t get carried away with this performance against Liverpool. Everything is not solely on the players.

Of course not everything. The coach must continue to train his players until they can play the way he wants them to play with their eye closed.

But can you state the things that are on the player that you have noticed in the last couple of games?

Lana1:
Leave am. It's easy to coach team from Nairaland

Very easy for him

larride:
Ugarte was suspended against Newcastle.

maik99:
Ugarte was suspended

Well he needed that rest. He looked much better and fitter today

Leyqute:
The players don’t need to change. They only have to be consistent in giving it their all every week.

According to nitrogen, the players are already giving it their all, we just need to simply change from 343 to 442 for us to start winning games and scoring goals

nitrogen:
Not every match, but you could start with your 3-4-3 and make those changes during the game. Adaptability is key. Sometimes, the changes are not visible, you realize it as soon as we start playing well in the same game. Every successful manager do it. You can’t stick with something that you don’t have tools for.

So when Martinez the CB is in the opponent's area and box, what formation is that?

nitrogen:
We cannot do much with an inflexible style. That’s the fact! We are too predictable and that’s why every dick and Harry is ready to beat us. There are games where a simple 4-4-2 will dismantle the opponent. Flexibility ensures you exploit the strengths of your players and mask their weaknesses.

Which manager do you know that changes formation every match? Play 442 today, play 343 the next

Lana1:
If we do any open heart surgery again, it should be on the attack. We didn't really sell anybody there and everyone ETH bought in those positions is just complete dross. We are likely to end another season with less than 5 GD and it will be because of them

Spot on. We should be aggressive with getting an attacker that can beat players or one that can score and comfortable with the ball to his feet. Anything less that this will see us finishing the season around the 10th position

nitrogen:
Not true.

We can almost predict the starting 11 if most of the players are fit. Bruno, Amad and Hojlund as attackers. Mainoo and Ugarte have been playing together for some time now. Dalot and Maz have been consistent as WB for some games now. I think its the CB that hasn't really been consistent. As for the Case and Eriksen midfield against Newcastle, Amorim needed to rest his first choice which are Mainoo and Ugarte

nitrogen:
The players are not as bad as many think. I just hope Amorin starts getting his selections right. Stick to a starting 11 and make one or two changes until they get it. Not like we have anything to play for at this stage. Stop the rotations and stuff.

We have had the same 11 or 10 for about 3 consecutive games or so now

engrelvis:
Exactly.. smbdy earlier this Amorim best 11.l can't agree more. We just need a finisher.

We need a striker that is more than just a finisher. Amorim system requires the striker being able to hold unto the ball. We need a striker that can do that too.

nitrogen:
As in. Maybe he was expecting Magwaya to leave the ball for Garnacho.

We really need a striker. But they have to sell before they can buy one. If they can sell both sef I won't mind

maik99:
Exactly
E reach Liverpool today dem dey do ote and agidi
On a normal day na zero effort and complacency
And some people will still say system

Some people just like to lament without properly analyzing the same system. They just hear something and run with it

Why didn't the striker take that shot by himself fvck. How can Maguire not hit the target at least? I'm pissed

Odunharry:
I am talking about Maguire's challenge on Sallah outside the box

Yeah true

engrelvis:
lf we can play like this against one of d best team in d league then y d hell r in we in 13th position?

Normally we have the players but most of them lack that commitment, mentality and seriousness to play for a top side
