Positives & Negatives v Liverpool (one of each please)

[YorkshireSquare]

People made it out as a huge issue last season and whilst we did look vulnerable at times we also had the best defence so it was hardly like we were conceding by the bucketload. Hopefully having Messlier and Koch who are both taller than the players they have replaced will help especially if Messlier can come out and claim/punch more corners.

I think the set-piece issue is as much, if not more, on the offensive side too.

For the amount of corners we get we converted an incredibly poor number of them last season. I think that feeds the notion that we are genrally bad at set pieces, both offensively and defensively. We didn't get a corner yesterday, unusually, so can't say if we've improved or not.

Two negatives

No clean sheet......never expected us to keep a clean sheet v a team of such attacking prowess

Penalties................when was the last time we conceded two goals from penalties in a match.

I suppose we are more likely to concede more penalties back in the prem

Positive
Clinical finishing for all the goals.

Negative
In similar situations, we must learn to settle for a point and not concede a soft goal late on.

What I got for y'all from this:

Positive: I don't think there will be that much of a relegation worry for this season.

Negative: I have absolutely no clue how playing that style of football (with a clear vulnerability at the back) will fare against teams (non big 6) who generally play on the counter more (e.g. Wolves). I could easily see several very large scores throughout the year.
