The Bigfooty Liverpool Thread

[jod23]

Geez that's a missed opportunity. Great chance to go two points clear and then beat Spurs at Anfield and all of a sudden we would be 5 points clear.

Massive missed opportunity.

 

[jod23]

Need Hendo in mid with Fab already at CB. Phillips will play against Spurs.

Just back spasms thought for Matip is the word. Klopp has said he should be ok for Spurs. But with Matip you just never know.

 

[jod23]

Also a sidenote, Curtis Jones almost scored goal of the season there, he's really bloody good. Looks completely at ease playing for the champions and one of the best teams on the planet. That's a pretty big compliment.

It’s Matip. Not confident. We better have a CB lined upon 1st of Jan.

We need another midfielder as well. We should look into signing Thiago in January.

Nat Phillips needs way more game time than that.

 

[Zidane98]

Nat Phillips needs way more game time than that.

A CB on the first of Jan solves that issue. While Phillips has put in a good effort and some respectable performances we won't be getting too far if we play him other than for rotation to give our CB's the occasional rest.

 

[The Punter]

Remember Phillips can play CL in the knockout stages as he will definitely be included in the squad.

Disappointed with the amount of times Minamino was ignored by his teammates today.

Perhaps the 4-2-3-1 with Firm as the 10 to get him more involved in the play. Of course, that means Wij and Hendo as a double pivot as a must.

Mourinho lives for these types of games, and will have a gameplan in place to get the result. Klopp will need something other than "lethargic plan A".

 

[jod23]

I rate Nat Phillips over Rhys Williams. Neither in truth should be near the first team but needs must.

 

[jod23]

Thiago and Ox combining for a total of 135 minutes from a possible 3240 is horrible.

 

[gaskin]

Harsh on Phillips. He hasn't put a foot wrong when he has played. Some of you are too quick to write him off because he is not a big name signing.

 

[Cotchin 9]

* Everton. If we had a fit VVD and Thiago, we would win the league by so much it wouldn’t be funny.

 

[Cooldude]

Still haven't won an away game in the league without Virgil, haven't kept a clean sheet away since either

Next one is Palace away a few days after Spurs, tough situation to end the rut on. Too many injuries and we don't really have the cattle for this

Actually like him. Composed. Only 20.

Really don’t get the ignoring of Minamino. He always looks to create and move. We looked threatening with him in the second half. Henderson should’ve buried the chance Mini created. Or cut back and Minamino taps in.
Firmino is starting to irritate. He’s stagnant, comes to the ball and then passes back.

Gerard Houllier has passed away

* 2020, a great man

RIP Gerard, did so much for the club.

Really sad news about Gerard
