Red Star Belgrade (6/11) Champions League

[an tha]

Why Lallana is anywhere near our team is a mystery to me

[aRdja]

Woeful woeful game. Fuck me.

Given the final two fixtures, a group stage exit is essentially inevitable if a game as easy as tonight’s is lost.

 

That leaves the Premier League title a requirement, or it’s all change at the helm come the summer.

Unless you’re JWH, I call bullshit.

[The Golden Eel]

Does anybody else think Robbo's become a bit negative this season in good positions in the final third? Keeps stopping and cutting back all the time when he could take the player on?

[Babb'sBurstNad]

There's no width ahead of Roberton. Mané keeps going central and Lallana wants to be there too. It looks like 4-3-2-1 and neither fullback is getting much joy.

 

Mané needs to stay wide as he's got the beating of his man there.

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

Different game if that useless malingering twat scores that sitter. Lallana is shit.

[Anubis]

Fifteen minutes of Wheeler Dealers methinks.

Questions need to be asked of Alisson’a goalkeeping for the second goal.

Big time - that was pure Mignolet. Alisson gets a really easy ride though so don't hold your breath

Can Klopp turn this game around?

[Redder Lurtz]

Lallana shite

Matip shite

Sturridge shite

 

Awesome.

Lets be brutally honest, our results have disguised a lot of disjoined performances this season so far.

 

Fuck knows what it's down to.

 

The Napoli performance was bad. This is a completely different level compared to that.

 

Mostly down to our midfield being of next to no help to our attack....shaq is literally the only one in there with any guile or vision and who links it.

 

But Klopp does not fancy all that much it seems.

 

We are like 3 teams who play separately.

 

Defence which is good...does its job albeit with little help from midfield 

 

Invisible midfield that does not control tempo, has next to zero creativity

 

Attack which has to play pretty much as a 3 v 8/10 most of time as rest of team does not do enough to gel with it - bad decisions/panic and being crowded out mean it is not at best.

 

We aren't cohesive like we were

 

 

[1892-LFCWasBorn]

Bobby and Gomez coming on apparently.

[Captain]

That was utter, fucking shit. Not a single shot on target. We didn't even look interested.

 

Shake it up, Jürgen.

[Creator Supreme]

Colour me unsurprised!

[Captain Turdseye]

Forum is slow as fuck. Losing games is big business for Dave, it seems. 

 

Please God, don’t let us fall into the Europa League.

If we score and they shit themselves, maybe, but I wouldn't fancy us to get anything out of it now. 

[Wezza]

Far too predictable tap tap lose the ball, repeat. No penetration at all.

[Ne Moe Imya]

I mean, I don't want to be all contrarian but though we were poor that could easily have gone our way a bit more as well. A 1000-to-1 screamer and a corner - not like those are really repeatable.

 

Tough to see us getting all 3 points now, though. Get Naby on for Lallana as soon as possible. Our midfield is just SO slow when Lallana plays.

[Em City]

Keita and Firmino on for Lallana and Sturridge at HT please. Klopp will probably wait until the 70th minute.

Managers don’t oversee a decline from their peak at the same club in the modern game and then reverse it - they’re impact subs. It’s hard enough as it is if you don’t hit the ground running. Since Alex Ferguson, only Kenny Dalglish & Roberto Mancini have taken more than two seasons to win their first title and both had the luxury of being able to outspend everyone.

Yeah, sack the manager for not beating Man City to the title.

 

Sounds like an excellent plan.

[Grinch]

Klopp needs to change this at half time or it's an uphill battle to reach the knock outs.  Dreadful team selection starting Matip, Lallana and Sturridge.   Just as fucking stupid leaving Shaqiri out of the squad too.

 

Looks like he's attemping to fix it, 45 mins to late, let's just hope it's Lallana and Sturridge being fucked off and not Salah/Mane.   Right into the reserves until their contracts expire hopefully.

 

[Strontium]

Here's the insane thing - Red Star are still as long as 4/5 to win tonight.

 

Well, it'll pay for Christmas anyway.

[skend04]

Was it really difficult to pick the same side that beat these fairly comfortably the other week? If we don't win this we're likely in the Europa after the group stages. Just mental.

If relegated into it, it would be downright negligent to treat that competition seriously when we still have a shot at the league. All reserves all the way.
