Liverpool (A) - Match Thread

Fear the worst in the second half 

[HybridFox]

But would all have taken this before the game. I think we'll need to score again if there is any chance of taking anything here though

Bilal and Bouba good. Ayew has worked hard. JJ has forgotten how to defend. Mavs clueless largely with the ball - why? 

JJ needs to be put in the same bin as Ward. Transfer market can't open soon enough 

[StanSP]

Gonna be difficult to get the chances to get another goal and have to commit while they pile forward too. 

 

We have to be more composed on the ball in their half. Too many moves breaking down when we have limited time on the ball in those areas. 

[kristianity77]

All fart and no shit. Trying hard can’t deny that, but there is zero quality there.  Still expect Liverpool to bang half a dozen goals in second half

I think you’ll find we would be losing 1-0 without him. 

Or you could look at it as we could be 3-1 up if he made the right choices.

Have to be more smarter up front. That close to the end of the half you don't lose it on the break. Drive it on, win the foul, take it to the corner whatever 

Its all about me with Mavs

Justin needs taking out the firing line now. Beyond ridiculous. Played as well as we possibly could there. These are levels above and will win easy, but I feel a bit more optimistic. 

couldnt agree more, the guys confidence is well and truly shot

Get Facundo on for Mavididi

 

Bilal, Facundo, and Ayew is a very easy three to be able to switch around through a game

With Ayew on a yellow, can't see him staying on over Mav.

[ealingfox]

I'd rather be 3 nil down tbh - it's the hope that kills you.

How many do you reckon. 6 danny Wards may of got a finger on it?

Not so sure.

 

At least 5 would have gone to ground and looked up at the stars, perhaps the 6th or 7th if free might have got a hand to it.

[The Doctor]

Desperately need a new RB though. JJ isn't a bad player but his confidence is in the ground. He needs a few weeks out of the firing line, but we've got no-one to give him that.

[splinterdream]

I think we know Bilal/Winks and Soumare are our midfield 3 and should be good enough, we need a decent winger and a better full back down the right

Who do you pick instead? 

Choudhury.

 

A lot of weaknesses to his game, but honestly just the core basics that you learn as a child would be an improvement on Justin.

 

Failing that, a youngster.

[Phube]

I know it’s all modern and all, but what’s wrong with a studio!  

[supernuk]

For me this game was all about seeing an improvement from that last two games. That has happened, now hope we can somehow get a point or even all 3

All came from Mavididi losing the ball yet again

I take it as far back as Winks losing the ball then hitting the bar from Salah, and yes we then break after and could of done better, the initial momentum tho swings from Winks losing it when it was easier to keep it.

[RYM]

Long second half ahead but TBF, I didn’t expect to still be in the game at this stage.

 

Game of 2 halves and this is definitely one of those we could shithouse a result at…. could…

[mozartfox]

Light years better than last week.  Being realistic I was expecting a tanking. Might still end up a thrashing, but there is a lot of fight in there at the moment. 
 

Hoping for something but expecting the worse.

Yes but something decent for Ruud to build on in future games, which is what he said hoped to get out of this.

[Claudio Fannieri]

Body blow to concede right on half time but we have been pretty good and that is a decent performance where we have looked dangerous. Going to be a really tough 45 minutes to but if we can regroup and hit them again on the counter then we could take something out of this game. All in all impressed by that 45 minutes. 

[Kasey Keller]

Shame we couldn’t hang on till ht 

they run out 3-1 now

[Bilo]

Honestly, last week we looked eleven players away from being good enough. Now we look two or three.

[kingfox]

Focusing on a positive, El Khannouss’s work rate was exceptional in that half.
