Liverpool A Match Thread

[Hammo]

Chilwell needs dropping- he’s going from bad to worse.

[lee7]

Mane has had Chilwell on toast in that first half. 

We've not troubled them at all. They've looked very comfortable. 

 

If we continue like this we'll end up losing 3/4-0 as Liverpool were just growing into the game as the half ended.

But being behind we will have to go for it and leave ourselves open! If only Adrian hadn't pulled off that wonderful save on Soyuncu...

He was 100% offside anyway.

Chilly has been poor today

Very poor, and not just this game but this season. Fuchs would have done a much better job and could help out in attack too. But with Chilwell in, perhaps we need to bring Albrighton on to support on the left.

No shame in losing at Anfield but having 0 shots at half time isn’t good enough no matter the fixture.

Barnes completely lost again, touch needs more work, need to get Perez on. Chilwell defensively poor, both Liverpool full backs are streets ahead of ours today.  We need to get Yuri, Madders in to game. Still look very very nervy at the big arenas and tests. Vardy incredibly isolated. 

That's Barnes's main issue at this level, pretty loose first touch and not the best at protecting the ball.

We are playing the best team in the league right now, let’s not get disheartened!

 

we were never going to get anything out of this game in my opinion

We've done quite well I think. We are up against the European Champions and the gulf in class is there for all to see. Soyuncu has been magnificent and for the most part Evans was too, though he made a mistake I feel with their goal, which was superbly taken by Mane. I think we look too vulnerable down our right hand side with TAA and Mane having the beating of Chilwell. That's not a slight on Chilwell because those are two of the best players in the league, but I feel like it will cost us again if not sorted.

But being behind we will have to go for it and leave ourselves open! If only Adrian hadn't pulled off that wonderful save on Soyuncu...

It still looks to me more like a damage control rather than effectively containing them. If Milner didn't fluff his lines we should've been one down in the first 20 minutes. We're nowhere to be seen in the middle of the park. Chilwell is having a mare but has no protection whatsoever against Mané and TAA. I can't see us getting anything if it goes on like this.

 

Albrighton should come on and Maddison must play more centrally. Soy has been great, good game from Praet.

We are a half a touch out... think its the differnece in playing this lot compared to Newcastle. The balls were finding our players last week, this time they are getting cut out, neeed to up the speed

One of the best teams in the wold at the moment so not a disgrace by any means. Would like us to try and impose ourselves on them more in the second half. COYB!! 

With Lovren and Milner in the eleven 

[Happy Fox]

I would put Perez and Albrighton on second half let’s go for it. No point sitting back.

[lgfualol]

Vardy absolutely pocketed. 41212 needed, someone has to play closer to him.

[ARTY_FOX]

Put a winger on the wing ffs. Really isnt a hard concept. So frustrating. 

[SecretPro]

I just don't think Chilwell is that good, defensively he's OK but going forward he's clueless and end product just isn't there at all. Hopefully he can work on it though. 

[Steve Earle]

Plan A didn’t work. Let’s see if Plan B’s any better. 

 

Too many underperforming today. Didn’t expect them to go to Anfield & dominate, but hoped for something approaching normal levels of performance. Not many doing that.

[steflcfc]

Ok first half...Chilwell and Barnes looked a bit lost first 15..Liverpool had a game on Wednesday we should have a bit more in the tank second half.

 

Just Need to keep the ball a bit better once we get hold of it, as too quick to give back possession against a good team.

 

Vardy not had much to do, have felt at times this season Youri seems to slow down play when we have a chance to break away.

 

Not out of it yet, chances on target for both teams quite sparse.

Hopefully come out second half and go for it.

 

[NotTheMarketLeader]

Aside from today.....Chilwell is our worst player. 

 

Massively overrated. Sell while some still believe all the bullshit about him.

 

For clarity NOT just today

[Guest kristianity77]

There's no shame in being one down at half time to Liverpool but I just wish that Rodgers in the big games would stop with this Maddison on the left shite.  He belongs in the middle.  We've seen time and time again that this works so why does he change it for these games.  If we are gonna lose these big games (which we likely will) then at least go down punching, not trying to scrape a nil nil. 

[Guest Col city fan]

How do we get back into this boys and girls?

[Blue-fox]

Barnes off. Albrighton on. Maybe take off ndidi as he’s on a yellow

[Bossman Blessed It]

Arguably up against the best front 3 in the world - of course Chilwell's having a tough game. Mane and Salah seem to be hanging around that side. Still in this - CMON BOYS!

[spacemunky]

Great HT feature on VvD here. What a likeable lad.

[Guest Danny Clender]

Feel really sorry for Chilwell, all his criticism is on display today and he deserves the stick.

Looks frightened and lost.
