Thought it was a tremendous performance from Son last night in an attacking sense. However he repeatedly didn't track back leaving an overload on Ben Davies. Do that against Mane, Ham Salad and Firmino and we will be murdered.
Agreed, we need to keep Son up and wide left (and someone else up and high right), to stress the Pool backline when TAA (and Robertson) pushes forwardOverload in one area means weakness in another. Son is our best bet in a counterattack. Maybe someone else needs to beef up defence against pool, but not son please.

This. With Lamela on the right for some general brickhousery. I've actually got a good feeling about this one.Agreed, we need to keep Son up and wide left (and someone else up and high right), to stress the Pool backline when TAA (and Robertson) pushes forward

If that is the tactic then I am sure Poch will compensate for it. Didn't look to me to be the tactic yesterday due to how deep he was rather that Son went to sleep. Plus I would rather players were more intelligent on the pitch so deal with the most imminently dangerous situation as it arises especially as they are watching it unfoldOverload in one area means weakness in another.

Looked like he was playing on the left side of the 3 in a 4-2-3-1 today to me. The problem was that our passing out from the back was so bad that Liverpool had 75% of the ball and therefore played most of the game in our half (and the job of the wide players in the 3 of a 4-2-3-1 is to pick up the opposition's fullback when they come forward.Absolutely wasted today playing left wing back.
Liverpool would have feared him getting in behind Lovren on the break but Poch used him as a defender.
Agreed. Son looked dangerous whenever he got the chance, and most of our attacks, at least before Ndombele came on, were down the left.Looked like he was playing on the left side of the 3 in a 4-2-3-1 today to me.

I think Harry was offside?I think it hurts more for him considering the amount he puts in to it, we just stand / sit there and moan a bit..
Anyone blaming him for the miss saying we'd have won it if we'd have gone two up needs to wind their neck in, we'd still have crumbled going in with a two goal lead sadly.
What a ball he put in on his left towards the latter stages as well. I'm not criticizing but Harry was just a bit slow getting to it...
