just watched the game having recorded it. hmmm
not bad but lets not go overboard there pen was not ours definately was and johnson was mom clearly. But same old story for me not enough quality in the players. Hopefully FSG will invest but not holding my breath. I feel its a mixture of rodgers getting his message accross and us getting the bounce of the ball that goes in cycles through the season. Hopefully we will see this trend continuing but expect a bumpy ride with some disappointments this is not being negative just trying to put some perspective
very reasonable assessment. Th squad is certainly starting to produce some gritty football in recent weeks. All Allardyce teams play the same way in that they go wide and pump angled balls into the box, then they charge in and try to cause chaos. A system in the past we have struggled against. Today they created very little and Reina hardly made a save.
our problems certainly are that in the final third we do not yet have enough quality players to finish off our good approach play. BR's in game changes have also been great for some weeks now, finally I am not so nervous as we see out games stronger than the opposition. This started againts Everton and the 1 Goal lead has been retained for several games now.
all in all we have something to look forward too over the festive period. From being 10points off 4th we are now only 4, then 7 off 3rd and 11 off 2nd(out of reach I'm sure). The teams above us in the majority of cases are faltering as much as we were early on.
Are then FSG now able to step up to the plate and deliver at least one quality forward player? it could make our season.
