Quietly, the Reds are incredible at home S5 E16
It’s November 15th and the 25th international break is underway. Welcome to the latest edition of our show. I’m Paul and I am joined by Daz, Justin and not physically but spiritually Sean. We’ll talk about the quiet efficiency of the Brentford performance, look back at 12 league games played and consider any lessons from Toulouse and Luton:
Part One - convincing enough?
xG - 1.5 to 1.5 on average. Liverpool’s post shot xG was over 3 (under 2 at Luton last week)
Brentford - coming off 3 wins, more center halves than a team really needs. Tierney - arrogant performance?
Our formation against the height and physicality
Fit and firing - VVD, Alisson, and Darwin
Stepping up - Joel, Diogo
In the spotlight - Endo and Kostas Tsimikas
Our home form seems to have gone unnoticed by the wider pundit community. Again it wasn’t on TV in the UK.
Part Two - To lose in Toulouse and to be held at Luton:
Reflections beyond the immediate - oh no, the wheels might be coming off
Looked very open in Toulouse, bearing in mind this was probably their game of the season (and maybe a few seasons). VVD not available
Luton - just don’t think we stepped up the pace at 30, which we did against Brentford.
Part Three:
Season so far - 12 games 27 points, good return compared to most seasons - 34 points from 12 in 2019-20 season being one outlier. Jurgen says let’s look at where we are in March/April. After City we have some very winnable games.
City next - haven’t won there since 2018, but Darwin and Mo have some good history against them. An imperious VVD and Allison Becker. Formation and prediction? Away form generally - giving up breaks and chances from set pieces.
Elsewhere - Spurs regression, Chelsea surprising? Arsenal haven’t been exceptional. Man Utd are not there
We will be back after the City game. Thanks to Justin, Sean (in spirit) and Daz. And thank you dear listener for joining us.
