Well, what an average week. One bad decision snowballed into multiple. The biggest problem this week was how we approached the Europa League. We went big, played a group that had been rinsed physically by the Leeds game, we didn’t win.

EXCITING PROGRESS HAPPENING AT ARSENAL
Well, well, well… Klopp was the fraud all along. Arsenal win tomorrow, we’ll be 3 points off the Champions in the most nuts season on record.

We pressed better than Leeds, boxing them in, forcing mistakes. We controlled their attacking game with excellent off the ball work, closing down passing… Read more »
