Liverpool vs Leicester (cup) post match

[Simoken]

Alot asking for BR and him to be sacked.. clearly not many fans know much about football.

 

Lets break it down-

-injuries Vardy hamstring /cags hamstring midgame

-limited wingers available

-players playing out of position

-players on bench just coming back to training due to covid

-god knows whatelse..

 

With all these difficulties trying to win a game and trying to find the best system at split moment decisions midgame... how well do you think ud do?! managing that under pressure. not very well i bet. Give them the support they deserve at a tough anfield venue, remember Barcelona getting embarrased by a 2nd rated Liverpool team? ..

 

They were brilliant lastnight, gice them the respect and support they deserve, fickle minded shit fans. K thanks

6 penalties taken and our main man and penalty taker Jamie doesn't take one? What kind of madness is that?

 

Rodgers needs to explain WHY ?

Were you there, he could barely walk when the final whistle went, was moving around like a 80 year old.Do you really think we purposely selected Luke Thomas over Vardy , god this forum is full of pillocks !

[Hoopla10]

It's hard to really criticize last night imo. Though many have. The team played really well, gave 100% and probably deserved to win. People complain about Rodger's change of tactics but that was also in part forced changes because of injuries. And even if it wasn't it makes sense. If we started a strong side, they finished with one. Klopp's half time subs were Jota, Konate and Milner. My main irritation was seeing Bertrand playing in a Foxes shirt again. I thought we agreed he was banned. He's so so bad. I'd rather they played Perez, but given that's kind of the alternative it says a lot about where our injury and sqaud depth is at. And last night isn't going to help. 

 

The referee was a joke. It blew my mind watching some of the decisions he made. Seeing Thomas on the deck and the game just continueing was awful. The state of refereeing as Shearer talked about on MOTD has been abysmal for a while now. VAR gets the blame the majority of the time but VAR is just a bunch of equipement. It's the people opperating that equipement. Not good enough and until something happens I just don't see it getting better any time soon. 

 

Oh and the positive is we didn't actually lose the 90mins.

Judging by some of the reactions on here it sounds like some of you are already hunkered down for Christmas with the in laws that you hate.

 

Neck another sherry and chill.

Where does last night rank in the great Rodgers collapses? 

 

Contenders are last night, Bournemouth 2020, Spurs final day last season, possibly Villa League Cup Semi, plus probably others that I've thankfully forgotten about.

Spurs last day of the season is still top of the pile, when we were comfortablywinning and tried to defend out the game making some strange substitutions in the process ie taking Madders off when he was playing well,  not bringing Amartey for Fofona, moving Wilf into defence and bringing Mendy on to play the Wilf role who got completely overran

whilst many people have a huge dislike of VAR, it’s interesting to see, in a game without VAR, just how much aggro the ref is getting for some terrible decisions.. decisions, especially the tackle on Riccy that VAR would have caught..

[RowlattsFox]

The subs rules are ridiculous as well. Liverpool can make 3 subs at half time and this doesn't count towards one of their 3? I think that's right. 

 

Rodgers panicked and decided to bring Bertrand on as well at the same time as Vestergaard as he couldn't make any more subs after this.

Absolutely no guarantee VAR would have done anything.

[Pliskin]

One thing to note is Jota is an incredible player. He changed the game. 

[teblin]

The Bertrand decision was a strange one, had no choice with vestergaard.

 

we need a slice of luck when you go to places like anfield 2 reds should’ve happened and cags injury.

That’s right not part of their 3 but only has two left anyway as used 3/5 subs

Comfortable?

At 1-0 or 2-1 ……. 

bale changed that game for them ( even allowing for kasper’s brainfart)

Appears to me that this forum is full of pillocks berating other pillocks for asking questions. I didn't select Thomas to take a penalty, but if I had been the person who was deciding who was taking penalties I certainly wouldn't have selected a youth to do so in front of a crowd of booing Liverpool supporters. There were older, cooler heads out there to do the job.

But more chance of getting a booking out of a VAR review than from a piss-weak ref - wouldn't you agree?

Sorry for my naivety but why ‘feed the scousers’?

🤷‍♂️

[WigstonWanderer]

Disappointing, but on the plus side I can now ditch my $20 per month Bein Sport subscription.

We were in control of the game threatening for a 3rd but we susceptible to the counter due to taking Wilf out of midfield replacing him with Mendy, leaving us lightweight in midfield. Maddison was playing well and helping to maintain possession in midfield until he was taken off and we went defensive inviting pressure onto our shaky back line when Spurs made their changes.

not much in life IS guaranteed really is it?

 

 

to me it’s no coincidence 

[dynamark]

Good effort but----

Why take Daka off when he looked very dangerous.

Ricardo was obviously hurt and he was left on for another 10 mins to really damage himself

Thomas and Bert on pens was plain silly

Cags go injured chasing back after a awful clearance form Kasper straight to a Pool player

 

No VAR didnt help ref was dubious to say the least and the keepers were both jumping off the line during the pens

How have people never heard this?

 

United fans sing it to Liverpool fans every Christmas, to suggest they’re all brassic.

Well said 👏

The last 15 minutes was like, the Alamo Dunkirk,Rorks drift,Isandlwana thrown into one...

An Away game at One of elite Europes Intimitating grounds, especially in cup-atmosphere.

Against Great players...

Our Lads did a Great job...I had also a Bit of a knee-jerk reaction, But I am sorry, this forum has reached the level where only Toxic ,and kill bill,shit on own Team

posts Have become the Norm....Forest Fans have taken over...It seems..!!

 

I am Not Diving on,belittling or criticising any Leicester Player including my MOTM...But last Nights game hung IMO on 3 incidents...

That terrible tackle...Vardy hitting the post...Ndid under-Jumping , miscalculating the Cross for the 3rd goal...

 

If anyone still doubts the Chasm to find a consistent or One Off Spot in the Top 4....last Night had the whole Pallate throw in Front of them...

Refs calls, Fringe/young players Level of quality, a high Quality cavalary of 1st-team/Now Quality 2nd choice players ready to Call upon....

 

People can hate the Top 6, But they do have that extra sprinkling of Stardust quality, from youth,fringe,to deeper squad players...

We have improved our squad immensly, But we still aint touching the like...

So when we do Mix it , Away from home & compete against extraordinary Opponents drive, I prefer to remember the Good & Great moments,

and Not the vibes of the misgogs...

So...Well done lads, you gave Everything last night...Proud of you..!!!   Less other dozos forget..!
