On TV yesterday the commentary team made a number of references to the pitch playing very slow implying that it was not helping the flow of the game.
Did anyone else think this was the case? |  | | |  |

There were a few under-hit passes from our players so possibly.
The length of the cut and the amount of watering is based on McKenna's precise instructions so if it was then it was deliberate. |  |

They watered it heavily before both halves, so may just be struggling to cope with the long dry spell we've had. |  | | |

That's very true. With the lunchtime kickoff and heat yesterday it also won't have held the water for long which will have slowed it down a bit. | |

If it's anything like the old pitch, it dries out very quickly on a hot day. I've played on it a couple of times on those conditions and became very slow. |  | | |

When I watched our game back on motd, it struck me that the grass looked a little bit long, which would slow the game down. Maybe that was a tactic by Town to frustrate Liverpool? |  |

Pity we didn’t leave it to grow 4ft high. Might have slowed down that no 7 😀 |  | | |
