Huddersfield(a) PL- match thread

[Baltar]

We have been really sloppy, so disjointed. No doubt Huddersfield have been better, they have been cutting through us throughout, there's no pressing or cover for the defence. Need to get Gini and Bobby on in the 2nd half.

[Joey8FrogsLegs]

Now that was a poor half. Only positive so far has to be the result.

It’s not. It bounced up off his thigh. Even BT’s pet referee confirmed it wasn’t.

Yeah, off his thigh right into his arm - which is off his body

[Ginny]

Is Henderson playing?

[Lee909]

Terrible this

 

Sturridge just does not have the pace to run off Salah when we break. 

Need Bobby or even Origi on the stretch the pitch. We have nothing wide left other than Robbo, i'd consider sticking Origi out there to use his pace

It has to be deliberate and it wasn’t. It was inadvertent. 

[Bobby Hundreds]

Piss poor that half. C'mon reds.

[moof]

Whinging bastards. 

 

 

 

 

 

Well in reds. 

[Daisy]

Almost every single attack breaks down when salah gets the ball at the moment. Hopefully he can just get a few goals and get back to normal 

[therevivalist]

Yeah Gomez needs to tighten up. Otherwise, we're doing just fine. Lallana our new signing brightening our dull midfield. 

[Stickman]

One of those games were you just know things won't get better after the break . It's like we're doing our best to give them an equaliser.

I don’t think saying we’ve been poor in that half is whinging.

Dreadful performance. Milner and Henderson completely out-dueled in the middle and Robertson has been very poor as well. His wing has been a boulevard for Huddersfield.  

 

To be fair to him he is trying to get forward as nobody else is offering width and nobody is tracking back either and offering cover. Milner,Henderson,Lallana all playing far to close together and none offering width

No, but not many people have said “we’ve been poor” and lots of people are whinging

Are you happy with the performance?

[Stickman]

Henderson back to his Ray Wilkins tribute act of passing backwards and sideways 

[Pidge]

All due respect to Sturridge, appreciate he's out there and working, but I'm looking forward to seeing Bobby get on.

[moof]

Reasonably. We’re winning against a motivated, hard working side with disjointed, much changed starting line up. I expect us to look a bit more coherent in the second half. 

[Byrnie]

Disappointing stuff from the midfield 3. No control at all. A bit disjointed up front, but that's to be expected.

 

We look a bit laboured in general this evening.

 

I'd bring on Gini soon. I think we will improve 2nd half. Klopp will not be happy. 

[Ginny]

This is more like it. Starting to get like the TLW i used to know and love. Everyone complaining and sniping at each other ha

Thought he looks more positive than he has in recent weeks tbh, tried to get the ball out to his buddy Lallana early whenever it's been on.  Even driven forward with the ball himself once or twice.

 

Off for Gini anyway, so maybe Klopp agrees with you.

I'm not. We've been below par and are getting out-fought a bit.

 

There's a lack of bravery on the ball from the midfield.

 

Luckily Joe Gomez was brave enough to play that pass in the lead up to the goal.

[Baltar]

Gini and Bobby to come on please otherwise it's going to be those long, nervy halves where we're just hanging on and will probably concede in the last minute.

Mate -- Huddersfield are dead last and haven't won a game in eons

[magicrat]

Shit first half and lucky to be ahead really.

Lallana doing pirouettes to no purpose
