Both goals saveable by a good goalkeeper. I was expecting a second before HT tbh

I did say pre-game when I saw the line-up we were getting smashed today! Meslier would have saved both of the shots that were goals btw. Just saying 🤣

Bornauw took out Ampadu as Liverpool make it 2-0.

Poor?

To many players have little interest. Not challenging at all. Farke annoyed and rightly so.

Not great news from first half

Firstly why wouldnt he take Gudmunsson off sooner? Commentator said he was struggling before he went down again.

Second. This goalkeeper situation is pretty embarrassing right now. Trafford been in negotations for over a week? And we're 3 games into preseason with no number 1 and no number 2

Why is Ampadu the holding midfielder pressing with Nmecha?

Done it a few times now it just leaves a gap.

What's rhe point?

The goalkeeper and striker situations are embarrassing. Plus this 5-3-2 / 3-5-2 system is basically a frightened 5-3-2 and is not working. We have zero attacking width and zero attacking threat. Farke needs to buck his ideas up else this is going to be a super-tough season. We are going to struggle if we don’t make a few top signings in this showing…

We’ve been poor. Very disjointed. No real threat.

We’re arguably missing our first choice attack (Dcl, okafor, Wilson) and it shows.

Midfield is porous.

Defence getting to know each other and keeper v rusty.

None, but Farke likes Tanaka as the DMF when he plays the pivot and lets Amps play forward. I want Amps to sit in front of the defence

We need Gruev back if we're going to continue with the pivot

Interesting half. Decent enough overall performance, looked hurried in possession and the goals conceded were p*ss poor but we've had as much threat as them.

Thought Dan James looked dangerous.

Think you are being quite generous

We've looked worse than Liverpool both on and off the ball which given its their reserves isn't great.

I don't understand why we are having the gaps we seem to allow

Been the same every game, really really easy to get to our box whereas we struggle to create anything

Nmecha been our best player imo.
