Why 2 goalies on the bench? Is Enzo trying to send a message to the management?

Goodness. We really do get carved open easily on the break. Credit to Sunderland who are having a go here

Oooh Mavididi hits the post

posted on 24/10/23

Oh Ian you’ve got to be finishing that. Hits the post should be 2-0

If that’s the PL Faes gives away a pen there

Viewed most of half.
Bit lucky to be 1-0
Got to be the best side we've faced so far,

posted on 24/10/23

Yeah agreed - Sunderland have been impressive. They definitely should have had a pen- Faes very fortunate and he wouldn’t be so lucky with VAR

Lucky boy Wout, not sure why he’s going to ground there. Sunderland have been very positive and dangerous going forward, but we really should be at least 2-up

100% if we had VAR. This ref and the lino on the West Stand side are terrible.

We’ve been really wasteful tonight, should be well ahead.

posted on 24/10/23

Yeah agreed. It’s the kind of game where we could regret not getting a second goal

posted on 24/10/23

There it then. Had to dig in - 12 wins from 13 games. Absolutely remarkable

posted on 24/10/23

Another game, another fairly comfortable win. Sunderland were decent in the press at times and could have scored and looked like they should have had a pen. Looked it at the game and seems so reading the comments.

Once again I’m struggling to pick out a stand out player, the team just seems to function. Thought Winks was very today and Casedei was better if still not brilliant.

Fatawu and Mavididi often frustrate me with end product and I think we’d be dealt if they had it.

But hard to criticise. We march on.

Astounding start to the season by your lot👍. The rest of us are playing for 2nd place.

Yeah I don’t think anyone thought we would start the season quite like this. We knew the squad was probably too good for the championship (as we should never have been relegated in the first place with the players we had) but still it’s been an incredible start

Was working last night so only caught up on the game when I got home.....
Firstly I am loving the positivity that is around the club this year after last seasons debacle.... although being a long term LCFC supporter am I alone in fearing a "falling off a cliff run of results at some point"?
We are not playing to our best but it is still enough, that tells us a lot. From watching on tv I thought Sunderland looked good and comfortable on the ball but just not much up top apart from Clarke ( who looks a player btw)
Hats off to their keeper who made a couple of very good saves to keep them in it, it could quite easily have been 3 or 4 last night, but Faes needs to have a look at himself! There was no need to go to ground in the box and he/we got away with a stonewall penalty not being given there.
Overall nothing really to complain about, could do with Ipswich slipping up tonight ( and Leeds as I think they will be our nearest challenger over the season)
But finally a huge shout out to Harry Winks who since joining has shown a calm head in the middle of the park, and his link up play, how he see;s the game and his vision is perfect for bringing in a revamped squad for this season.
He may not have been wanted at Spurs but boy has he been a revelation this season.

Interesting observations Appleton. There were quite a few on this forum bemoaning the signing of Winks, but it is very clear he is a highly talented individual. Every player needs a run of games to get into their stride and clearly he wasn’t getting that at Tottenham. Maresca is certainly convinced by his credentials. Makes you wonder why the various high profile managers at Tottenham weren’t.
As regards Tottenham, they seem to have thrown off the Spursy tag; a down to earth manager with no obvious ego seems to be working for them.
As an aside, Casedei appears to be coming on in leaps and bounds.

Quite agree OWF, there were a number of loud negative noises when we signed Winks, I for one thought that he would be the ideal ‘middle of the park lynchpin’ for us in the Championship, and he has settled into that role perfectly.
Having him there gives those around him confidence to be slightly more creative knowing that Winks has their backs!!!!
As for Casedei he certainly showed glimpses of being more comfortable on the ball, a bit stronger when challenged so hopefully he is getting more comfortable with the way we play.
Lots of our squad performing 7/10 game in game out, imagine when we get up to 8 or 9 out of 10 🤷‍♂️
Re Spurs, am I the only one that has relished their ‘flatter to deceive’ of the last few seasons…. But for once they seemed to have done the right thing, low key appt of manager BUT one that plays a way the supporters can get behind and moved away from focussing on Kane and more of a team now. I whisper it but I love watching them this season, they have had a great start and I am torn between seeing this team achieve something or seeing them flatter to deceive again!

I was surprised at the negativity around Winks but then again I was busy worrying that Enzo would be a disaster so didn’t really pay much attention when we signed him

Thankfully so far - the pessimists have it wrong. To be fair last season we smashed it out the park

posted on 25/10/23

It’s nice to have an optimistic harmonious feel at the club and on here tbf….
I totally get the ‘ if we play like this next season we will be Luton/Burnley etc’ but
A) let’s enjoy this season for what it is, after the torrid vitriolic time of last season
B) Enzo seems to have a solid firm plan and this group of players are buying into it, even those on the sidelines at the moment
And then let’s see where we find ourselves on the final whistle of the last game of the season, and IF and I do mean IF we are promoted then let’s see what the club do to ensure that we do not repeat last season.

WE ARE TOP OF THE LEAGUE
