Sharpe's Fox Posted 21 September 2018 Posted 21 September 2018 50/50 on if we get a result here i reckon. I'm worried because i think Huddersfield will have a gameplan to get in our right side channel like Wolves did. 1
Bazly Posted 21 September 2018 Posted 21 September 2018 When top teams meet the likes of Huddersfield they know they must score to win. Whe LC meet the likes of Huddersfield we know we have to score to have even a hope to draw the game. Guess that means LC are just not a top team, just another side with a shitty defence that any opposition will relish coming up against.
fazzyfox Posted 21 September 2018 Posted 21 September 2018 (edited) We really should have more than enough to get a comfortable win but you wonder if they can smell blood a little bit - our result and defending last week, our pressure to win this one, I think if their (Huddersfield's) attitude is right they'll not be nervy or respectful and will come here knowing the momentum, confidence and atmosphere is all on a knife edge at the moment. It won't take much, an early goal for them or heading to half time at 0-0 and I fear the atmosphere could go flat, it really is a classic case of ffs can we please come out of the blocks and make a quick positive start, bloody their nose early, frighten their full backs and impose ourselves on them. The best way not to run out of time at the end of a match is to make use of the first half hour too! The big selection question is which CB will come in, otherwise aside from possibly Albrighton in for Gray I think it will be as last week. Keen to see if Ghezzal can build on his Liverpool performance and probably get a bit more joy against weaker opposition. Edited 21 September 2018 by fazzyfox spelling of Ghezzal looked right but was so so wrong 1

Maybe if he’s sacked you’ll all slink off to whatever miserable hovel you were hidng in previously. This place will lighten considerably. Thanks for that ducky 1

A couple of years away to get the formation and tactics sorted to fully utilise what we have. Didn't say we were a Liverpool, simply said its taken them a few years to get the system right, before you start "come alive" me read what I said. As I said to someone else, did you not watch the 2016/17 or 17/18 season? Teams knew what we'd do and countered our style. We lost Kante, a huge cog in our machine. We couldn't stay playing as we were, otherwise Ranieri or Shakey would still be in charge. The change was needed, maybe not as extreme as Puel has brought in, but a change was needed. It's not total bullshit. Bullshit is thinking we can stay as a counter attacking team for ever and not evolve into a team comfortable with holding possession. How convenient in your response that you actually don’t read the post properly and choose to ‘misunderstand’ what the point is. I didn’t say we should have made NO changes from our our PL winning team. We have however, ‘thrown the baby out with the bathwater’. I actually said we now don’t have the intensity - one of the great attributes of that team - with this current manager. That’s a big issue and one that is partially responsible for shit results and performances under Puel. Its a crying shame this guy was employed - he’s trying to play continental football 5 years out of date in the present in the PL. Its no coincidence that the best two teams in the division employ that type of intensity. It’s great to watch and very effective. Sadly we have Claude and with him all his apologists such as yourself, who can’t see the reality of what the team has become; soft and impotent ?; the very opposite of what’s required to succeed. By all means continue to be an ostrich ? 1 1

By all means continue to be an ostrich ? Nope, sat reading your post for past 5 minutes and can't see how I've misunderstood it. You have your opinion on us lacking intensity, which in periods we do (large periods at times too). But intensity doesn't just appear overnight. If Puel had tried to push fast paced passing into the team at the start we'd have coped even less than we did. Intensity is built from the back, we can't as of yet given Morgan at the back. But that was a given due to Evans and Soyuncu lacking fitness. We played with high intensity attacking Bournemouth and got caught at the back due to the counter. You're right that it is no coincidence that the top two teams play with high intensity, you're just failing to note that they took years of training, failing and recruitment to get to where they are now. It won't appear over night or even over a year, Klopp took 3. Pep took 1 due to having the bank balance to buy who the hell he wanted. Puel may not be getting the results we need, but the change he brought in with regards to being able to pass the ball was always going to be slow. I don't doubt he isn't where he wants to be. He's putting in huge amount of work that he may not end up benefitting from. Sadly we have fans, such as yourself, who have decided where they sit and sh1t upon anyone with another view and can't see the good work he's put in. So please continue to be an ass, just don't stop people supporting their team 1

Intensity is employing physical and mental effort, it’s pressing, its closing people down, it’s running more than the other team. Thats what WE did. You don’t need the best players and it does not need years to perfect ffs. What it does need is a manager that understands its benefits and who implements it. Puel either doesn’t value it, or can’t get it implemented; either way he is a lame duck. Btw, when you say ‘he’ do you mean ‘I’ Claude? 1

TJB-fox Posted 21 September 2018 Posted 21 September 2018 Think we’ll see if the players are behind Puel. IF they’re unhappy or want him out, there’s a high chance they could chuck this game. Can see us getting beat here, they haven’t won this season. Be classic us to give them 3 points

Its just farfetched to think a group of players behind the scenes purposely losing games cause they dont like the managers direction, from what i have seen on the pitch they are trying to implement this new style of possession. In some cases succeeding with glimpses of great potential. Ever since the Claudio situation with 'players going against the manager 'apparently' The media seem to love to try and inject this sense of unrest with player/manager at LCFC. I think its all a load of b/s. No one will ever know what happens behind closed doors and assuming 'IF' is just 'nonsensical' like your comment Edited 21 September 2018 by Simoken 1
gurru991 Posted 21 September 2018 Posted 21 September 2018 Professional football players have winning deeply embedded into their DNA. You don't end up in the Premier League without a massive desire to win & I feel it's ridiculous to imagine them trying to lose. 2 1
