id like trent to close down crosses quicker and show them down the line as opposed to cutting in. He needs to be switched on more and faster to get out wide when the balls floating over his head.
Also the mf is constantly allowing our def to get outnumbered, dno what it is Wijnaldum seems the worst culprit just watch leeds mf time n time again run past our mf untracked outnumber our back four.
Early mins of the game vs sheff utd today pretty sure they outnumbered us in our box. And the last few mins of the game long ball over the top 4 vs 2 cbs, no awareness whatsover.

wham n moyes will no doubt target similar things, runners n big men. gonna be have to be combative from the off as opposed to upping it 2nd half after Klopp yells at them or w.e like ajax n sheff utd. esp winning 2nd balls. Hopefully some players back n fired up after midgetland game at home midweek and we're playing better too.
Gomez looks a lot better when he plays on the front foot with a bit of aggression. Fabs doing a good job but today with the pen and being smoked diving in as what hes got to learn, hes a cb you do this as a cb and its more than likely far more dangerous and risky than in mf if it doesnt come off, hes often the last man or one of.

dont want fab to lose his ball winning instincts thats whats good about him, just needs to be more aware n tad more careful now as a cb.
