Match Thread Bradford City v Liverpool (U21)EFL Trophy Tuesday 5/12/2023 @ 7.30pm (with Poll)

100%. Very impressed with GA and his tactics recently

 

It really is crazy how all these young lads are so easily knocked off the ball. Goes to show how much the gap is between skill and experience.

 

3-0 Oliver

 

Made some decent saves has their keeper. Shame he spilled that last one but good to see some shooting from outside the box

 

Pattison cooking already with that long field ball to Halliday. Made it look easy! Oliver should have done better with the ball through to run on to but can forgive due to coming back from a long injury.

I know it’s a game against kids but if we play like this in the league, we will be up there

 

Next round won't be easy looking at the teams winning tonight.

Home draw will be helpful.

 

Pointon has come on with a point to prove

 

Andy K thinks Pattison is prime Xavi

Him and Patto have come on and are very busy.

Great to see Pattison back on the pitch.

 

Polish strength in goal for Liverpool! Sign him up to compete with Lewis

 

Brilliant performance from the Liverpool keeper tonight.

 

4-0 Smith

 

Referee very poor there. Clear as day a penalty

 

Enjoyable game. Used the extra man well.

 

Great win, another good performance. I think we have the right man in charge now. Despite it being a tinpot competition against kids, he didn't let the players take their foot off the gas! Smith is like a new player under GA. Richards now looks up to speed with recent game time, Pattison is back, and Oliver looks like a handful from the bench again...

Four wins in a row... tactics have been spot on. I'm starting to feel optimistic again!

 

Scoring goals.

Who said 3-5-2 won't work? They know nowt!

 

Great day at the office. All 3 strikers scoring, regardless of the competition when was the last time that happened?! Patto looked sharp when he came on. 4 goals, clean sheet and players getting minutes coming back from injury and being out of favour. Just need to give Salford a stuffing now. GA against a former club, he’ll have them well up for it.

 

Another fantastic result for match fitness and competition for places. A brilliant morale-boosting win

We are gonna tear Salford apart on Saturday if we play with the same composure and slickness. Yeah yeah I know, it was the U21’s and they had 10 men, but you still have to beat what is put in front of you, and we did that with ease

Also when was the last time we had 16 shots on goal in a competitive game?! It is boding extremely well, I might even go to the next BSM game….
