Strange half.

 

We should be out of sight with the amount of chances we've missed, we also look wide open at times.

 

 

Yes, we should be about 6-2 up. 

[Jordy Brouwer]

Our players are a bunch of "miss merchants". There I said it. 

[John102]

I think we have played well and will win by about 3 goals. This optimism may come back to bite me, but quite happy with that half. 

[clockspeed]

Ah it's not just me just seen klopps face. Think sadio needs to come off ball is attracted to him like a.magnet at minute . We would have more chance of scoring through an of I'd he wasnt on pitch. Love him but not happening for him 

[Anubis]

If we put two-thirds of our chances away we’d piss most games. This isn’t anything new. We’ve always been profligate, but now it’s reaching epic proportions. Fuck throw in coaches, can we get a striking coach please?

[Leyton388]

Played well but being very wasteful.

[J-V]

Get the Wolf signal out.

Well, Kabak and Thiago have played well.

Some very very good passing from Thiago. One of his best games for us so far.

Phwoar Lily james 

[Stickman]

Wasn't that long ago we made zero chances in games so today's a plus isn't it ? 

 

I'm a glass half full kinda guy 

[Supremolad]

Dreading the late equalizer for Newcastle now. Really hope it's not one of those games.

 

Seems our forwards are in a competition to see who can fuck up a chance in the most spectacular way today.

I know I'm not arsed about football lately but when did we sign her ...And well played FSG for making  that happen

If we get a penalty one of them will pass it back to our keeper. 

[dockers_strike]

Jesus, this is like leeds on Monday, cannot put the ballin the net apart from Mo's 2 minute opener. We could be 7-2 ahead and Newcastle could have no complaints.

 

We've been poor at both ends of the pitch and Newcastle have taken the game to us. That St Maximin has run the legs off the back 4 every time he gets the ball. He just runs at us every time he has the ball and creates panic. Kabak is going to be very careful not to get a 2nd yellow here.

 

Up front, Bobby is just passing to oppos or under weighting the ball. Sadio should give his head a shake the chances he's had but he's not alone as both Mo and Jota have wasted chances that should be in the net.

[Scooby Dudek]

Similar to first half at Leeds, only we have had even more clear chances today. 

Hopefully second half we take an early chance and kill the game. 

[Strontium]

I'm sure all the LFC journos have really important questions about how our permacrock defenders are getting on with their rehabilitation which need to be answered, but perhaps they may find the time to ask Klopp if shooting practice forms any part of our training at all?

What the actual fuck an I watching here. I know confidence is one of those unquantifiable attributes but how do you fall off a cliff like this in terms of finishing. Surely there is someone in the reserves on a mad streak of scoring ? 

That was meant to be Paul Glatzel, who was top scorer for the team that won the Youth Cup 2 years ago. Except he’s missed most of the last 2 seasons. Layton Stewart was the star of the u18s, stepped up and was scoring for the u23s.... and picked up a long term injury. In keeping with the whole season.

[Jordy Brouwer]

You know who would have scored a hattrick by now? My boy Milan Baros. 

 

One of the most underrated and naturally gifted forwards we've ever had. 

[El Rojo]

An injustice that this lad - and Steven Gerrard - didn’t win the league with us.

[Grinch]

Should be somewhere around four nil. 

[Anubis]

Think you guys need some cheering up.

Floodgates to open secind half - this ends 4-0

Firmino is the worst passer of the ball in the squad

Interesting take after he's created 3 clear cut chances with his, you know, passing.

18 minutes ago, dockers_strike said:

What the actual fuck are the back 4 playing at, Newcastle cutting through us at ease.

It's almost like playing 4 attackers, a 2 man midfield and a midfielder at CB is costing us defensive solidity..

18 minutes ago, J-V said:

I think Firmino's been taking training.

Obligatory neg

Joke up front, dodgy at the back and we only have 2 in midfield.  What is going on ? 

Jota and Sadio extremely wasteful, but some of our best attacking play this season. Unfortunately throwing as many people forward leaves us more vulnerable at the back.

Yep, this is what you get for going ultra attacking and having no CBs with pace. 

 

Also, people blaming Trent for not holding the line have not played football. There's no way Klopp has instructed the defensive line with their lack of pace to stand on the half way line with no-one pressuring the player with the ball. Throwback to the away game against Real this. Without VVD and Gomez at the back, Thiago really shouldn't be playing in a midfield two (and I love Thiago).

Yeah, glasses needed here as well.

Once you've got an agenda against a player it's hard to let go I suppose.

She was on an advert. I love her.
