The defensive clearances is something that's happened all season long tbh
If you watch the Watford game, Salah was literally miscontrolling simple passes.....the ball would go out of play. The commentators mentioned it several times.
I'm the first person to rave about how brilliant we are when we are brilliant.
Starting with the intermilan second leg....we have been poor in terms of performances.
Luis Diaz & Alisson have been wonderful
Thiago, Fabinho & Van dijk have been also...Barri g the city game where they were good but understandably not dominant as usual.
The rest have been OK, Jota gets a goal but poor otherwise. Can't complain too much.
It's just the level of passing decision making on the break, defensive clearances/playing out and first touches that are stopping us from achieving something historic.
It's frustrating because previously we were brilliant at these things....Barring the soft defensive headers

In what aspect is it "stopping us" at the moment?

Hopefully it won't, I'm just very invested. Been waiting many years for these days. When all is said and done we'll wish we gad these problemsn.....right now, for the first time in years Its tense. Thoroughly enjoying it and I'm very rarely negative. The post was made straight after the game
