Match Thread - Liverpool (EFL Cup) - 19/09/2017

[49er]

Is Albrighton playing wing back, as Amartey is in the centre half position?

[Lionator]

This game is basically Hamer, Morgan and Dragovic against 19 other players.

[fazzyfox]

The Ox taking the piss by bringing his Tailor to the game for on the go adjustments! 

[Guest Col city fan]

This thing about our midfield being poor and us not keeping the ball really does have to be sorted. its no joke

[trabuch]

Lots of discussion going on with Shakespeare. Doesn't look good.

[Stevosevic]

We're piss poor this season.

 

Other clubs have given these problems at the back. 

 

Not us of course

[Byson]

This is terrible, at least I have to go to work at half time. 

 

[cityfanlee23]

It's not the players it's this ****ing system, every single week I say the same thing, as a team we are so one dimensional.

[Nuge]

Craig telling Amartey the difference between left and right

Radio Leicester saying its a full-house tonight?

Poor sods...

 

Atmosphere sounds extremely flat and subdued. Not much to get excited about admittedly, but you'd think only a couple of thousand are there based on noise from the tele

[MC Prussian]

Gray chatting up Solanke there.

 

"You alright? Fancy putting in a good word for me with the gaffer, mate?"

[StanSP]

set piece, good chance to make use of our height. Let's see how it pans out...

[Claridge]

Ulloa and Iborra would look slow in an over 50s game

[splinterdream]

We should just get Leo to stand next to the goal post for the full 90, you never know he might come in useful

[Swarles Barkley]

Amartey: we cant get the ball out

shakey: dont worry just hoof it

amartey: what if we try passing it out from the back

shakey: *brain does not compute words*

[adam]

The manager looks clueless there.

And me and I've backed him ardently so far. There is literally not a single positive from the way we've played here. Shit defending, attack that wouldn't score if we played until Christmas.

Said earlier, i'd rather he was honest and say it's about keeping people happy with minutes over trying to progress. Absolutely no chance he could have thought we would without a massive fluke.

This has been absolutely, completely dreadful. Why the hell we've decided to play with no pace whatsoever up front is beyond me. We have no urgency, no pace, nobody wants the ball and our ball retention has been utterly terrible. It's only thanks to luck, bad finishing and a couple of Morgan tackles that we aren't 3-0 down. I feel a bit for Albrighton as he isn't able to get a decent cross in because he's so far back and his ball down the channel is just coming straight back as neither striker can hold the ball up.

 

I like to look for positives but there aren't any. Admit you got it wrong Shakespeare and get some pace up front. Boring football by a boring team.

We are a boring team now. We've played an utterly shit style of football for 18 months. It was winning football for the first 3 and we embraced it because it was taking us to the title but the truth is we've played even remotely entertaining football in about 4 games since then.

If only Craig would listen to you.

[mozartfox]

What time is the curry being served?

[roblcfc84]

I just can't see what the tactics are or the logic behind IS and UL together - even if one gets the flick on the other won't win it

[st albans fox]

First opportunity in ages to put them under pressure from a set piece and we play it short - just crap

Walking football

[chapero82]

We can’t even do free kicks right
