The Bigfooty Liverpool Thread

[gaskin]

Can we please keep Milner away from any and all corners and crosses, please.

 

[gaskin]

Get ****ed!

 

[Cooldude]

Damn, Brighton deserves something from this but we just never look comfortable defensively

 

[archiemoses]

* sake, missed clearance and trossard ******* scuffs a cheap goal

 

[Fwoy]

How have we made Wellbeck look like Messi?

 

[Spanish Sahara]

We are junk. Glad I got home half pissed to watch that s**t. Anyone want to defend?

 

[Cooldude]

Not just Trent in bad form but Virgil hasn't been great this season either

Can't get anywhere until we solve our defensive issues

 

[FreoRicci]

Defence have been awful this season
VVD is ordinary as much as TAA is. Yikes

Rather this season to be a lull out, FSG *s off and proper owners come in and start buying.

 

[gaskin]

I was hoping the break was going to help us but we are just ******* gash. Arsenal will dick us next week and we are going to struggle to make top 4 the way we are going.

 

[tazaa]

I think that whole back 4 was pathetic
Kostas the least s**t out of all of them.
Virgil wtf was that clearance. Arsenal and Chelsea win and we drop points again.
s**t has to change

 

[jod23]

Another really poor performance.

Just all over the shop defensively. We cant keep asking our forwards to score 4 goals to win us games. No idea when or if we can turn this corner. Right now it's not about the title, that ship has sailed, it's about trying to get into the top four otherwise and small chance at Bellingham is gone.

 

[RossFC]

Start Gomez at RB against Rangers.

 

[peternorth]

It’s not being Liverpool. Yet.

 

[peternorth]

We have to put everything into the UCL.

 

[Wrenny]

We're really going to struggle for top 4 aren't we? We just aren't gelling in the forward half of the field and making mistakes down back is always a recipe for disaster.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Felt in the past that our pieces were largely interchangeable

Could rotate personnel up front, midfield or down back and there'd be little drop off

Whereas now we're extremely reliant on the talent of individuals - Thiago and Luis Diaz in particular. Things don't click unless they're initiating

Whereas I feel the midfield is the biggest part of the problem atm

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Whereas I feel the midfield is the biggest part of the problem atm

I wonder if part of our defence's success previously have been that teams feared us?

Worried about committing too many players forward or pushing for a goal too much because peak Mo, Mane, Firmino at the other end would burn them on the counter.

Now that fear is gone and newly emboldened teams have found that by attacking us it exposes some weaknesses. Those weaknesses may have always been there but are being tested more thoroughly now

 

[tazaa]

What if you know, we’re just old and tired. Definitely being hunted. Brightons start was electric.

 

[RossFC]

We are 3-2 up, Arnold is triple teamed on the right, Elliott way too far up the ground. This system stinks.

 

[tazaa]

This sums it up

 

[jod23]

Yeah that a really easily avoided goal. Really soft to give that away.

 

[gaskin]

2 years ago we would have been pressing the defenders and had them pinned back another 10-15m. It was rare that we would let them pass the ball around like that so close to the halfway line with little pressure on them.

 

[Cooldude]

Right side still dysfunctional, we are somehow blunting Mo's impact, isolating Trent while the right side mid always end up in no man's land
