Mac Allister had best chances late to score. Wasn't even close. Gakpo's miss was huge. Wirtz was by very far the best player on the pitch.
Of all the draws that was the most impressive one.
@Dreambeliever, he sure turned it around
No priest on hand?
Low block was not the issue.
We did enough to win that game, created enough chances, just not as efficient as we should be, and give away goals too easily.
Low block isn't the issue, he's saying it is, but it's just a hurdle among many that our slow, dull as shit approach can't overcome.
I think we might need to do more in transition than all run back really hard and get into a low block.
The teams getting results against us need only be decent for about 10 minutes. We are so mentally fragile and you see it in the nervous response to being pressed, and the laboured fucking build up play.
Our attack did fine against the low block, but the whole complexion of every game changes if no lead is safe at any point.
Also, we don't attack space well and don't counter with any lethality. The response to going a goal up is generally bad. We used to be the worst team at 2-0 I'd ever seen. Now we are the worst with any lead.
Our off the ball set up is very unsophisticated.

The other thing that's happened is we have no home advantage because the belief has been entirely bled from the supporters.
This is not really true. Liverpool played with many midfielders (Grav, Jones, Wirtz, Szobo) who are selfish and don't pass balls easily among each other. They fight for places among each other and then don't like passing to each other. Grav and Jones, in particular. But Szobo too has turned such. Nobody likes to pass it to Wirtz. That is an underlying issue that didn't start with the lead. Then there is the fact that Gakpo and Ekitike are fundamentally similar players (tall, fast, right footed). So they don't complement each other well.
