Other games 29/10

[LEGS]

I think the team are still with Jurgen my reason is we've gone a goal down several times and we have fought back in most games too.

We just look flat / tired you can see it in the running stats we are patching up teams HOPING we do well.

We have zero width up front really Diaz is a massive loss he goes both sides inside & outside like Mane did it keeps full back guessing.

Now we have players who ALWAYS cut inside as we have no pace so it is bit easier to defend against.

In saying all that we did create enough chances against Forest/Leeds but didnt take them.

OT was poor worse of the season totally.

Our setup was being exploited last season by teams. Klopps used the same formation for a good while, and opposition have found ways to exploit it over time.

We've conceded 15 goals in the league after 12 games, our best performance under Klopp defensivley iirc was 22 goals in 18/19.
We have another 7 goals to concede before we match that season.
We are on course to concede 47 or 48 goals in the league this year at our current rate.
Over twice as many as 18/19. Feels like a BR return.

We've scored 23 goals after 12 games, which puts us on course for 73 goals. Down from 89 iirc in 18/19.

On our current points per gamenin the league, we are on for a 51 point season.

The defensive stats are killing us. Last year Klopp was routinely dropping Thiago deeper alongside Fab, leaving Hendo most advanced of the 3 on the right. This was exploited in both the CL final and the league game at the etihad.
This thiago deeper on our left helped us a little but it didn't really address our right side.

This year Elliot has played rcm, whilst Milner and Hendo played on the left of a midfield 3. We're on course to concede 47 to 48 goals.
