Liverpool A Post Match Thread

[Ric Flair]

I'd like to retract my comments from half time when I said I didn't think Rodgers had done much wrong in the game plan. My biggest criticism of him is when we are comfortably losing and he doesn't make any changes. As soon as I saw we were the same set up and personnel when they came out for the 2nd half I knew we'd barely create another clear cut opportunity. Seen it several times from him and I think it's his biggest weakness and one of only a few he is yet to work on.

 

Albrighton was disgustingly bad tonight, how did he stay on and remove the pace of Barnes. Or at least get Iheanacho on as well? At 2/3 down and we refuse to have more than 1 striker and 1 attacking pacey winger on the pitch? That's not acceptable and we deserved nothing.

 

Big wake up call again tonight, hope they don't collapse. I'm confident we won't, Castagne and Ricardo coming back couldn't be more welcome. Albrighton ought to be out of the squad for a while after that, was one of the worst individual performances I've seen in a long while and he's had 2-3 now against Liverpool over the years.

 

James Justin was our only good player tonight, very impressed. A back 3 of Fuchs, Fofana and Justin right now is our best defence.

why do we ALWAYS let that bum firmino score? pisses me off.

Its the way we lost. We just didn't try it was almost as if we knew we would lose.

I don't think it was a lack of trying I think Liverpool made it look like that. They suffocated us and gave us no time or space which made it impossible to do anything.

Got it wrong today but didn't do too badly in the games away at Man City and Arsenal.

I thought we got caught in between a low block and getting drawn out and allowing them room in and amongst us in our final third 

[kristianity77]

This result can be put to one side provided we win the next 2 to put us back on track. No one thought we were serious title challengers.  However, we are top 6 challengers again and we need to consistently beat the smaller sides if we are going to freeze and roll over for the bigger sides 

[jammie82uk]

Our worst performances always seems to happen at Anfield even in 15/16 it was our worse by a country mile 

[bfox]

Can’t count the amount of times an attempt to pass or shoot was blocked by the first man. We were outclassed massively, player through to manager

Poor performance. Gave them too much respect from the start and we were too sloppy in possession. Mane had Fofana on toast. 

[Dr The Singh]

Not too upset, this match confirmed.my belief that we are probably are over excelling and have been put into our place by a better team.

 

But it was a poor team performance today.

[blue blood]

After a game like that just need to zoom out, learn and move forwards. 

 

We won't play teams like that every week and I think we will learn how to improve based on how they tactically nullified us (taking Barnes out of the game/targeting Albrighton etc) and attacked us with intensity. 

 

Best foot forwards.

Mentality against Liverpool over last couple of seasons is worrying. Worse teams than us give them a game... we roll out the red carpet 

I'm sorry, but this is just BS. We just had a stinker.

That was painful 

 

Fofana done ok was up against Mane who is world class. Justin did ok and can’t blame him for the rest having a off day

Wesley had a lesson tonight. I think he's the sort who will learn and get better from it.

Schmeichel and Justin the only ones who can hold their head high after that. Wtf has happened to Evans? 

2 games for NI. Not pacy enough for their attack.

 

We need Wilf back, and Ricardo and Castagne.

 

And a striker in the window. When it isn't working for Jamie it isn't working.

We're so lucky to have fans like you amongst us.

What would you of rated them after that?

I actually thought I was being generous 

[Dames]

Shown them too much respect when to stand a chance against Liverpool you have to match the press. 
 

Rodgers got it wrong tonight but its not the end of the world even with the injuries they are a class act. 

[Ian Nacho]

And what is it with Albrighton just constantly whipping it in to nobody. From those types of crossing we will score about 2 times out of 100 crosses. 

[sdb]

Ouch. Not quite as devastating as boxing day but just as clear an indication that we're some way off the top!

 

Not sure anyone came out of that with any credit. Justin perhaps at a push. The rest were noticeable either by their lack of focus, energy, quality or by simply going missing for 60/90 mins.

Liverpool weren't to good we were just very very poor and made Liverpool have there easiest game so far this season we done bottle jobs you have done it again just like last season

Liverpool weren’t to good?  they could of easily had a few more. We played so poor because of the intensity they play at and we couldn’t handle it. Sometimes you just have to accept that we were beaten by the better team.

 

As for the second part of your reply, I’ll give that a miss 

[Spudulike]

It doesn't feel so bad to be in lockdown at the moment so won't see any of those faded tacky 'injury hit' Liverpool shirts with M Salah on the back around town. 

[l444ry]

That performance looked like nobody at the club believed we could get anything from the game.  Outplayed and outfought from the first to last minute.  Can understand them setting up as they did as it's proved to have worked previously. But this time they looked to be going through the motions and didn't control the game without the ball. They got at us too easily with Barnes and Maddison in the wide positions and the back line looked jittery because of it. International break didn't do us any favours and other minor mitigating circumstances but a big lesson learned hopefully. 

[Ian Nacho]

Do wonder if Evans is fit. He looked all over the shop.

Your weird.like those other Club fans....

Despite my disappointment, I will try to wait for a larger sample size before I condemn the players and coaches to the seventh level of hell.

A typical Tielemans performance against a quick side who play through the middle and give us no time due to the high press.

If I were an opposition manager against us I’d tell my midfield just to crowd Tielemans out and give him no time.

Not as good as Lee Cattermole or Jay Emmanuel-Thomas is he Col  

 

Fvck knows why you pick him out above others, the majority were shit today, Mendy and Maddison were just as bad as Tielemans in that midfield.
