Its probably an accent thing, and also probably correct.

They’ve also focused their attacks down our right, which is madness when our left is completely exposed due to Allen playing so high. Long may it continue!

This constant switching of shape is crazy. 4-2-3-1 to a 3-4-3.

It is what it’s been, look fairly decent again, some nice touches. Can kind of see what they are trying to do. Bang average opposition probably had the best chances.

Lowry is just brain dead. They’re down to 10 men from incompetence and he tries a very risky angle down the corner flag to Allen. Goes out for a goal kick (again). Please keep the ball fella. Killing us. Thicko

Bored of winning so easily?

I wonder to what extent this is just being trendy cos that’s what Klopp and Guardiola do as well as to what extent it’s involved in our defensive issues.

Nope, best player on the pitch.

We just pressed for about 12 seconds!

I’ve enjoyed it so far, Lowry and Mullins at the heart of everything good we’ve done.

Dodds has invented a formation.

It really does feel too clever for its own good. It’s a lot of information for the players to take on isn’t it.

A whole first half without conceding.

And without scoring. Our proud record continues..!

One of the best halves of football we’ve played since the Stockport 5-0. We desperately need a number 9 to finish off some of these superb Taylor Allen crosses.

I feel that the players are thinking about what formation they’ve been told to be in rather than just playing football.

Feels like one of those ones where when it clicks, it produces something outstanding. But for it to click, every precise little ball needs to be immaculate.

  2. Leahy

  3. Udoh
