The strategy for opponents for rest of the season will be simple. Stack the defense and midfield for a draw or get a lucky goal for a win/draw. We won't be scoring more than 1 goal a game that much. This season is a write off

    naz hopefully, Martinelli and Saka are back in April. Those games should be easier. These last couple of months of tough football have made me appreciate what a superhuman player Saka is

        Claudius he's truly the beating heart of the team. We miss him so much

          Never did it. Season was over when Odegaard got hurt. It became even further over when we lost Saka. Done well to hang in there up till now I think. Only hope we don't run the likes of MLS, Nwaneri into the ground as well, for no reason.

            Every game is going to be like this one now without a goal theat. The league is gone but the concern now is the inability to score will see us dragged down into a battle for the CL places.

            flobaba it’s a big concern. Small team with lots of gaps. The remaining players will all suffer. Even someone like Nwaneri should ideally still only be playing 30s or 60s. Not big minutes every 3 days.

              I feel the opposite, this Liverpool team is simply not that good. Salah is having an all time season and dragging them over but if we got our act together and without injuries I still think we'd finish above them.

              Injuries and our summer window has cost us big time. We let Vieira, ESR and Eddie go and did not bring in a single attacking player, simply not good enough.

                Sicario2 - Tier 1 Difficult to argue we'd have got less out of ESR who has made 24 appearances (out of 26 games) with 5 goals and 2 assists than Sterling who has, well, technically stepped on the pitch a few times. Certainly agree the 3 needed an upgrade, but they were all jettisoned with no replacements and our starters in those positions are now all crocked because they were run into the ground with noone to rotate them with or sub them off for.

                  Sicario2 - Tier 1 I doubt they would have done fuck all but that isn't the point. The reason we have no Saka, Havertz and Martinelli is because we ran them into the ground, we had nobody to rotate them with. Even if it last 20-30 mins of a game that all adds up.
