Surprised nobody has said anything about Boateng gifting Bowen a goal yesterday...

We don't watch Europa league where Boateng belongs, but it's not surprising

AnfieldFan:
They way Lampard has set them up to play guarantees mistakes...
I mean he couldn't do it with a better squad in Chelsea, what made him think he could do it in Everton.
The press has criticized him a bit but he's doubled down on this being the way to avoid the drop...He also has a penchant of blaming his squad as lacking in ability as opposed to recognising that forcing them to keep possession isn't playing to their strengths...

My main criticism of him is rotating the players in his backline too much. Defence requires consistency of knowing what your teammate is going to do.

He hasn't played that expansive football since the Tottenham spanking. Possession is not the reason why Michael Keane miscued three clearances straight to opposition and Godfrey miscued clearance to Burnley on Wednesday or Iwobi gave ball to West Ham striker. That's about 9 points dropped just there. You can't legislate for individual mistakes just like Tuchel couldn't legislate for numerous gaffes in the last 2 games. It's gaffes they've been making all season. He needs to start with first dropping Pickford for Begovic and keeping the same consistent back 3 or two - Godfrey and Holgate with Mykolenko on the left and Kenny on the right. Every game seems to have a different fullback.

swiz123:
Ibime, what do you think Everton must do to survive an impending relegation?

Stop making silly errors and drop Pickford

VVD was supposed to attack Morata at each phase but rather backed away at each phase of it like he does normally
Anytime VVD faces an attacker his first instinct is to flee

His first instinct is to weigh the most risky scenarios and eliminate the most risky threat rather than jumping in as the spirit lead. You just highlight the one or two occasions it goes wrong a season to call him a coward for agenda. Spirit leads defenders are jumping in and causing goals 4 or 5 times a season with their stupidity

raumdeuter:
At the beginning of the move Henderson was midfield. VVD was closest to Morata yet he was scared he failed to engage

2nd phase of the attack Morata pushed the ball far ahead, any little desire to engage will easily dispossess Morata but once again VVD backed away

We can't blame it on tiredness because it's the same pattern with VVD he runs away and avoid engagement of all sorts

He does defending by whiteboarding.. point what should be done but never do it yourself

The only tiredness here is Henderson. VVD did what he supposed to do at each phase. Even when Henderson finally failed to engage and VVD is locked in on Morata, Henderson slowed down instead of cutting the passing lane which was the only way Morata could escape VVD

Babalakin:
hwfa with your STG, have u offloaded it?

STG is in a slightly different space as it's new to the market and new coins don't necessarily have strong correlation with BTC so I kept that bag

Only in women's football. Even Tahiti did not see this kain scorelines in Confederations cup

raumdeuter:
At this point Henderson was almost level
So If Morata dribbled inwards Henderson can stop him

Nonsense. This is the point at which when VVD sees that Henderson is not engaging, he steps to engage, and the expectation here is that Henderson should block the passing lane since he refused to engage, Henderson was very sluggish to cut that lane.

This is Hendersons third fückup of the sequence. I can only blame it on tiredness cos he looked gassed out

Bro I understand your current position. The moment you're bearish in your portfolio, automatically, you start preaching bear.

43k is holding well and our chances of bouncing is high.

Anyway let's see how it goes.

On the contrary, it's not about BTC nuking but whether the conditions are right for altcoins. BTC can stay at $43k to $45k while squeezing life out of alts slowly but surely. Only a sustained period above $45k or break of $48k will return alts to health. The mini altseason came when we broke above $45k. I saw enough consolidation and onchain metrics at $42k to believe it will happen and I made my profits for that month. Nuking $45k decisively yesterday is enough to invalidate the altseason, and with major fed headwinds on the horizon, one should be smart enough to adjust strategy accordingly.

Exonerate1, this is what happens when you send a soft boy to do a strong man job

There are 2 million Russian Germans and they are known.

And they are all supporters of AFB, the far-right party

jedisco:
Hehe....Two scenarios....
Nuke or bounce from significant support.

If there'd be another leg up, then most coyns are close to significant support zones where they are likely to bounce. .. example.. Eith at 3k, luna at 100, Ada at 1usd, betece at 42k, etc at 40....
If these levels start getting lost, then it opens the doors to another drawdown until the next support....

We are going to nuke definitely. Macro conditions cannot allow a big bounce from here. It's simply 90% impossible. We just had the shortest altseason ever. I'm repositioning to only short resistance for the rest of this year and only buy hype coins.

First phase f the attack in the Atletico half, VVD failed to close down Morata rather he backed away because as usual he doesnt challenge he waits for others to do it

Second phase of the attack in the Liverpool half, Morata lacking conviction on what to do kicked the ball errantly yet VVD backed away until Morata decided to play a speculative pass

Both phase VVD was culpable

Its 3 on 2. There will always be an extra Liverpool man which is Henderson. VVD was Morata and Gomez was on the runner

At which point is Henderson ever in a position to get to a second ball if the Atleti player dribbles the Liverpool counterpart

To be the spare man, you have be BEHIND your teammate.

As long as Henderson is in front, he's the one with responsibility to engage, and let those behind clean up.

You no know ball abeg

swiz123:
Yes, that was the correct response. But he still caused the goal by running further back even after the man he was initially chasing changed direction. The correct response should have been to block morata's passing lane by any means possible.

You've got to the crux of the matter.

At the point Llorente switched his run to the backpost, we've entered another phase where Henderson is the direct and closest challanger to Morata and VVD is the back up. Henderson is the one with the responsibility at that stage while VVD is the clean up insurance policy, but Henderson was lax and tired so by the time VVD noticed Henderson isn't going for it, it's too late. It's all there on video. Henderson is the only man in this sequence who never locks in a man at any stage and that's where the overload occurs.

https://j.gifs.com/3QpMyO.gif


Now explain to Dayo in simple English why VVD was right to follow the runner in the first instance.

swiz123:
Immediately Llorente changed the direction of his running, VVD should have engaged to cut out the passing lane to Llorente.

But do you agree VVD was right to cover Llorente in the first place?

lordfalcao:
[s][/s] from Jorginho escorting benzema to he should be running to cover for silva

What has silva done to cover his position

What has kante done to close down the benzema.

Tomorrow you claim you played CM..

Nairaland’s self esteemed pundits

Stop making noise. You don't need to tell any footballer here that Silva has already gone to help Chris and Benz will run in that area. Those closest to the point being attacked are Jogginghoe and Rudiger and should be alive to it. Kante is physically behind Benz and Benz is not running with the ball but heading to the box. You expect Kante to jump over Benz? Foolish talk

raumdeuter:
Gomez is already covering the sprinter and VVD just wanted to form activity by joining. Its like people already carrying a desk and you just use hand to support to claim like say you dey among,

VVD and Gomez had positional advantage over everyone in that picture. If it goes to a straight sprint from the start Only VVD and Gomez can stop the attack so it makes sense to point to Gomez to cover the runner, VVD stay on Morata until Henderson joins anyone struggling, He saw VVD was running away unwilling to take responsibility and had to move towards Morata

That goal was all on VVDs hesitance to tackle Morata when the attack was still young and tame

What is Hendersons job in that scene, having declared he is not going to follow the runner? Henderson started running toward Morata before VVD chased the striker, not after

lordfalcao:
abeg stop spiting trash..

Jorginho here is the one accused of escorting. While kante here should be marking kroos

Stop confusing yourself, not me

You are very foolish. Jogginghoe job is not to run to point 1 but to run to point 2. Keep your stüpidity to yourself, capping nonsense about referee blocking.

From where you circled Kante and where Jorginho is, whose responsibility is it to arrive at point 2 to stop a striker steaming in for a cutback or cross that Vini could deliver?

raumdeuter:
Why will Henderson tell both of them to go for 1 man? Henderson pointed to Gomez to handle that man. VVD was to handle Morata and he was leisurely jogging trying to avoid and hoping Henderson will do it for him. When Henderson saw the reluctance of VVD was why he tried to close down Morata.

VVD sprinted toward the last man unless you are blind. Henderson begged them to take the sprinter who came from his position because he was tired to keep up with the speed of the sprinter. Hendersons direction was toward Morata. Your whole post above is suggesting Henderson wanted Gomez to take the sprinter and VVD take Morata while Henderson smoke cigar. You no know ball. No professional footballer will suggest his defence goes 2v2 while he smoke cigar and chill. That pointing Henderson did alone tells anyone who ever played football that Morata is now Hendersons man. That was VVDs interpretation and that's the interpretation of anyone who knows ball.

raumdeuter:
Henderson Pointed Gomez to take care of the runner, VVD was the closest to Morata and was backing away. Morata had no intention of doing anything with the ball and would have gladly falled down to claim freekick, it was VVD backing away that gave him confidence to move until it became dangerous

If you played football, you will know EXACTLY what Henderson instruction was which is that both of them should go on the last man.

No defence with a man surplus will leave one-on-one with the last man running through the middle and put two men on a player being forced down a cul-de-sac. That was Henderson instruction and they all understand it. Henderson direction of run is to Morata, which means automatically VVD direction should be toward the striker. Henderson got done by Morata stop and start feint which is what caused the rejig. Henderson was also tired and wanted to rest because the striker ran from his position and he begged them to follow the striker while he goes after Morata who is closer and not sprinting. When Morata stopped and changed gear on Henderson, he gassed out.

Finesse007:
If you think he is running from Morata then football is not for you

Dayo na armchair analyst. Never played football in his life. That move by VVD was pure class. Man chased a different man without taking his eyes off Morata for one second. His neck be like exorcist neck. He knows where both players are at the same time. Henderson was the one who fumbled, causing VVD to leave the last man to go after Morata at the last minute.

raumdeuter:
Person wey dey run from Morata

As in Morata
https://j.gifs.com/3QpMyO.gif

You dey cap nonsense. You can't see that Henderson has pointed that they should take the runner and he will worry about Morata.

That move VVD made in the direction of the striker was actually class and deals with the bigger threat of a one-on-one through the middle rather than Morata being pulled wide while shadowed by Henderson. The way VVD ran toward that last man, knowing where he is without looking at him, while turning his head fully toward Morata is a level of intelligence you will never understand. The fumble here is Henderson who did not follow through with his chase of Morata and was paused by Moratas drop of the shoulder, forcing VVD to change strategy having fully covered the last man.

lordfalcao:
funny. Kante was at the back of benzema, but Jorginho who was coming from the referee position should be the one pressing benzema

Bias

Kante went to deal with Kroos. Benz is in Jogginghoe line of sight while Kante is doing a forward press to the man on the ball (pic 1). You wouldn't know nothing about team marking if it hits you in the face. At this point Jog has one job, which is to run and fill in that space that Silva has vacated to help Chris, same with Rudiger (pic 2). This is normal expectation from a CB when they go to help a fullback in distress, that the DM or CB partner will immediately fill in.

By pic 3, Jog is in a much better position to do so than Kante and based on angle, does not have further to run than Benzema. In your mind, he has to run to Benzema because you no sabi ball, that's why you are talking nonsense about being behind referee. His job is to run to that box where Benzema is going, not to run in the direction of referee.

In pic 4, he actually does his job in a similar scenario, filling in the space that Benz is about to run into for that slide

raumdeuter:
Sissoko that is notorious for blasting ball without sense. One guy will say "He Sissoko the ball"

Remove Sissoko and put Salah, Mane, Son, Mbappe, any attacker who can hit target and lets see if anyone wont be blaming VVD for the foolishness to back away

And you think that is not in VVD calculation to block out the pass to the more deadly Son, and let Sissoko even reduce his chances further by pushing him to his left foot?

You just proved VVD right

lordfalcao:
bring the video let me show you who was doing the jogging between Jorginho and kante

The video is there. Kante ran to press Kroos in the build up, therefore his momentum was the other direction

popizaino:
Thiago Silva. I still wonder how ibime is calling jorginho there when Thiago Silva should have been the one trying to prevent Benzema from getting into free space.

Vinicius had been murding Chris all night. No way Thiago will leave him one on one in the box. He actually passed Benz and gestured to the midfield to pick his run. Jogginghoe could easily have done that. Also Rudiger fell asleep marking space. In a 3 man defence, you never leave one CB on a one on one. As Thiago moved across, Jogginghoe should be running with Benz while Rudiger should be shifting across

raumdeuter:
Where was Kante in that move?

Jorginho was the man on the scene

Kante went for the press on Kroos

And let's not forget Rudiger either

swiz123:
Ibime said it is Jorginho's fault that Modric pinpointed Silva's man. Honestly, by Silva's standards, he was shockingly poor yesterday.

Don't make false statement. I blamed Silva but Jogginghoe was also washed by Modric in the build up
