PODCAST: Everton 2 Liverpool 0 - Match Reaction
razor replied to tlw content's topic in FF - Football Forum
I feel he's the least of our attacking concerns. He went through a bad patch and has come through. Comparing him to Sadio is harsh. Most players are going to fall short in that comparison. He's no wonder player but he's no fraud either. Someone said playing Darwin and Diaz together isn't a good idea, and I agree. I would like to see if a deep lying Gakpo can pick out attacking runs from the wider positions ahead of him. I think Diaz can do that, and I think Mo / Jota can. I'd like to see us give that a go in the final few games. Let's see if we can get our battered and bruised optimism back, at least. -
I can name three Norwegian left backs who are better left backs than Salah. See if that computes...

Disingenuous. You smear your opinions of Salah all over the forums - including in the match thread last night - like a dirty protest with the added bonus of decontextuialised screenshots of stats. Always with the subtext that you see things that we interloping amateurs just can't see. In that thread you were absolving Salah of all blame which you lay squarley at the feet of Diaz. Diaz was our best player last night, and was trying to make things happen. He received little to no support from his fellow front liners. So here we are.

Honestly, Code, stop it. Salah stunk the place out, didn't get involved (apart from the "two times he had a pass in front of him"...!?). Diaz lost the ball more than Salah because he had TWICE AS MUCH OF THE BALL AS SALAH. He was getting involved and was trying to make things happen. I'd say watch the game again without prejudice but I know it's like talking to a pre-programmed robot. Will Diaz have the career that Mo has had? Almost certainly not. Is he a better player than Mo? No, he's not. Was he better in last night's game than Salah - yes, he was.

I totally agree. But with regards to the Diaz chance, I would also argue that it was a much more difficult opportunity than the Nunez chance. They aren't quite the same, so it wouldn't be fair to criticize them equally. I think it was Nunez's header that set it up - the best thing he did all evening. He miscontrolled a couple that ended up in Salah's path, but the Diaz pass was deliberate. All in all, a total mess of a performance, and not one showing the green shoots of promise or "something to build on." We are Liverpool and we require more.

No! Don't do yourself down, mate, I'm sure you do!

Eyeballs? Eyeballs! Never judge a game of football by watching it, mate. Wait a few days until you can cherry pick some stats like "completed pass percentage". Then you'll understand football. Eyeballs...

Never change, Code. What am I talking about? You never will.

Well there was the tracking back. There was the physicality. There was the going on the outside, going on the inside. There was the bringing Robbo into play in dangerous areas to cross. There was the smacking the ball against the post from an opportunity he made himself. But yes, he wasn't as good as Salah whose bright light was only slightly dimmed by meandering about on the right not getting involved, and looking like a 9 year old in school shoes when the ball dropped at his feet in the box. But yes, you know so much more about football than the rest of the watching world, mate.

The Mary Chain and a tub of ice cream. Great thinking, clog.

I should neg this for its brazenness. But like most of our team, I just can't muster the fight.

If people like that Robinson and Fox really loved Britain/England, they would distance themselves from things like St George's Day. How can normal, everyday people of Britain feel proud of anything that they are part of? If behaving the way do is "claiming back Britishness", who would want to identify with Britishness? It's like Boris Johnson talking about British values of honesty and fair play. He is the antithesis of "British values". If I were to ever want to identify as British, it would be at the opposite end of the definition spectrum to them. I mean, did Wellington or Nelson ever get wasted on super-strength German lager and puff his chest out whilst toplessly goading coppers to "Come on, let's have it, then"? I know Oscar Wilde did, but he's Irish.
