I’ve never been so nervous when I watched in the last minutes hoping they don’t concede. But in the most recent games I’ve been feeling more confident with us only leading 1 goal
Attack wins you games. Defense wins you titles.
If there are lots of draws, sure.
But you can’t win titles in the 90 point era with draws. Draws lose you titles.
I used to pray for times like this
United punching above their weight majorly. Onana was a good signing.
Our defensive spine with Rice, Saliba and Gabriel is very strong, 3 real monster defenders. Going forward I don’t think we’ve been great but our defending has mostly been very good.
scary hours for the rest of the league when we’re doing that while “not clicking” and “playing poorly”
I’m struggling to think of a goal against us that either wasn’t a huge individual mistake or some questionable call/deflection.
Our defense has gone up another level this season.
Most of this xG is also from the first few games when Arteta experimented with Partey at RB or not playing Gabi Me.
And then when I say that Raya has barely been tested I get downvoted
defense is top notch, always feel safe with rice/partey in front of gabriel & saliba, it’s the attacking part that let’s us down but hopefully arteta sees that trossard should start over nkhetiah when fit no exceptions
Do do do do do do do Do do do do do do
Just need to start peppering teams on a weekly basis
Liverpool’s defence is overperforming quite a bit.
Delicious stat.
I’ve thought this will be the case. We’ve been unlucky with some of the goals conceded. Literally first shot on target goes in. I remember so many games where the opposition barely has any decent chances. I suppose we build on this. Become absolutely defensively solid, then next season build up the attacking threat while maintaining defensive awareness.
It’s so refreshing having a solid defence with depth…and having Rice is so good. Defences win titles!!
