West Brom(h)- FA Cup Match Thread

[Red74]

Throw that £90 mill we’ve got lined up for Lemar at Toni Kroos and another top class centre mid to play alongside Keita. Bored the arse off everyone saying our midfield is fucking crap, but what we’ve got is seriously chronic.

[FanchesterCity]

VAR ensured the right decision all three times. Shame about the delays, but it's better than the wrong decisions.

[Gym Beglin]

Anyone bad mouthing LFC is a FUCKING DISGRACE.

 

1892, etc.

[Elite]

We are a fucking shambles and our forwards are having a dip in form so aren't glossing over the utterly shit midfield and shambolic defence.

[Joey8FrogsLegs]

What a fucking shower of shite.

 

Same old problems....same old wastefullness - yet another missed penalty, how many is that this season.

 

And as for VAR - footballers are such gobshites compared to other sportsmen that they manage to contribute to something that is meant to help the game make it look worse - harrassing the ref over it, asking for it to be used when they aren't meant to, falling over and asking for it....ridiculous - 2nd only to our defending for shiteness.

To beat our defending for shiteness would take something very very special.

[1892-LFCWasBorn]

Our central midfield is one the worst in the league.

 

Fixed.

[Mark M]

Decision to sell one of our best players for a record fee and not buy replacements is insane.

VVD will be a great signing but not having any goalkeepers that command their box and stop shots is killing us.

[Oh Buoy]

Undone by Barryinho and Bruntesma.

 

Signing both for 95m in the summer.

You've just gone full GOT.

Yeah, I’m sure Coutinho would’ve helped today.

 

Edit: agree about the goalkeeping bit. We should get one.

[FrenchEyeGlass]

At least we aren’t bringing anyone new in to disrupt this well oiled machine

 

Hahaha right? The hilarity of people suggesting that Klopp is sagely against adding to the squad mid season as he doesn't want to disrupt harmony within the squad.

 

What fucking harmony?

[Megadrive Man]

I just heard the commentator say that Liverpool have NEVER lost an FA Cup tie at Anfield.

 

Is this true?

 

If so, congratulations to this team for managing it against West Brom in the first half.

Wolves beat us last year also

[thompsonsnose]

Matip needs resting. I’ve said this time and again that Lovren is just as good if not a better defender.

Gomez in the middle TAA on the right.

Too fucking simple.

[johnsusername]

Is there anyone at Southampton we could buy at half time?

[Thoth]

At least Mingolet grabbed his chance with both hands... and then dropped it into the goal

[therevivalist]

There is no midfield and confidence overall seems low. If Klopp is not persuaded to buy now, it's going to be disastrous.

[Ranxerox]

Our central midleid is one the worst in the league.

Was worth repeating even if you didn't mean to.

[Babb'sBurstNad]

I've got a horrible Stoke 6-1 feeling about this.

 

The balance in that midfield without Coutinho is shocking. Firmino and Mane trying to come deep and failing to link up with anyone because we haven't a single midfielder who'll punish the opposition for getting too tight.

 

Watching Wijnaldum's position when West Brom are in a dangerous area is particularly depressing. He's at best a box-to-box player shoehorned into his current role, if not an AM, and he displays all the ballwatching tendencies of someone schooled in that position.

 

Can is trying his best, but he lumbers around and no one notices the danger of what might happen should he fail to make a tackle.

 

Mig got lucky with the VAR and Van Dijk is alone in defence.

[Strontium]

Jenas asks "is Moreno sensing danger?" for their second goal. His hair could be on fire and he would be barely cognizant.

[aRdja]

Gomez in the middle TAA on the right.

Too fucking simple.

Both players are just as error prone if not more so than Lovren and Matip at the moment.

[thompsonsnose]

What a fucking shower of shite.

Works ok in cricket but looks a mess so far in football.

[Gym Beglin]

I love VAR.

 

I’m unsurprised that a country that voted for Brexit is not ready for VAR.

 

“This is too long”.

Why? Have the commentators got somewhere else to be? What’s the rush lads? Go to an ad break for all I care.

[Thoth]

It could end up as embarrassing as a Presidents club dinner this

[Joey8FrogsLegs]

Both players are just as error prone if not more so than Lovren and Matip at the moment.

Agree with this. Gomez’ positioning and decision making far from good enough.

[magicrat]

We would be 4-1 down without VAR,  Christ we are lucky cunts
