Brighton (A) FA Cup 4th Rd - 29/1/23 - 13.30

[Bobby Hundreds]

They are going to massage our prostate then deliver a kidney punch!  Unless the players show some pride and a genuine anger at how Brighton FC walloped them all over the pitch and made them look like amateur level players. It was one of the worst performances I've seen from any Liverpool side it was unacceptable and they need to right that wrong.

 

It's fucking Brighton are we genuinely in a place we're they are a better football side than us.

[magicrat]

I think we will squeak past Brighton but it won’t be pretty. 

[Scott_M]

Apparently Caicedo isn’t training today.

[Mook]

I think he'll end up at Arsenal now,. Once the player comes out with a statement like that it's only a matter of time usually.

 

Hopefully it upsets Brighton somewhat & we can get in & fuck them over.

[No2]

Brighton will look weak if they allow him leave so soon after Trossard. I can't see it happening. 

[JohnnyH]

Apparently told to stay away from training until after the window closes.  No chance he plays tomorrow which is a plus. 

[sir roger]

I know he has had injuries, but what a fall from grace for young Lamptey, from fringe England prospect and ( more importantly) Dave's 'my boy' status to being hawked around second rank Spanish and Italian sides.

Good news in the short-term. If he goes to a Arsenal or Chelsea then it improves a rival for top 4 in the next few years

[Razoray]

Seems like Colwill and Lallana are also out so their fans think Webster (or Lamptey) and Veltman will come in at the back with Gross moving to midfield with Sarmiento in for Lallana. 

 

Their midfield is definitely weaker and we hopefully won't be as easy to play around. I'm a bit more confident now

[an tha]

If they dominate us in midfield again with key men missing and fact that we should surely be hellbent on putting things right then it will be the most damning reflection on us yet IMO.

 

As it happens I expect us to be better and them obviously worse so it should level up a fair bit.

[an tha]

Bookies have us as very marginal favourites!

We could lose to Forest Green managed by Big fucking Dunk and we still won't do anything.  The team is broken and we've got to limp till the summer to MAYBE fix our plethora of issues

[Bobby Hundreds]

I heard on a podcast that we have the worst conversion rate in the league, even worse than Everton. I've always felt our shooting is abysmal but creating opportunities world class, now we create shit so that needs to improve but fuck me we need players to be more clinical I'm tired of seeing them spoon all their chances, wide, over the top or pea rollers straight to the keeper. Some of them a toddler could test a keeper more. It's crazy how bad some of our shooting is.

That figures. I've seen stats that say that Nuñez has been the league's worst for missing big chances and Salah is second-worst.

Two new midfielders (and maybe a new centre back) plus getting the forwards fit again; that's what it takes to fix our "plethora" of issues.

We're fuckin shite

Oh.  That's an interesting perspective.

 

 

[Bobby Hundreds]

With Gakpo supposedly being a left sided player but with comments from Klopp saying he's a connecting player or Ljinders saying he's a missing piece it gives the impression he's a Bobby replacement and there's also no way he fits on the left when Diaz is fit. If the plan is he is to play Central in the false 9 type role then just play him there and keep playing him there put Nunez on the left during this game. I've seen enough of Elliot to think he should only ever play on the right so that means Salah moves over or is the sub.

 

I dont get our squad building if all forwards are fit then who plays where. I think Bobby goes I even think Jota might the guy is quickly becoming a crock. The Gakpo signing is surely a money ball type of thing they've seen the fee and thought there's value there otherwise its absolute nuts we didn't sign a midfielder after acknowledging the problem with the signing of Mello. Because the team is playing poorly and we see no structure on the pitch it feels like everything is disjointed.

Yes. I know Klopp doesn't like wild shooting from outside the box - who does? - but as we now have several players who are supposed to be quite good at scoring from that distance, we should mix some of that up with the other attacking play instead of getting fixated on either passing to Mo or chipping into the arms of the opposition keeper. And even shots rebounding inside the box would probably give Mo more of chance to connect than the usual shuffle towards the left will.

If we were dangerous from range then it would give the defenders something extra to think about too, maybe they'd make the decision to close us down or press a bit, creating some extra space behind them for our lovely Egyptian to make some runs.

Unless Jota or Bobby are off I reckon Either Jota or Diaz will get more time on the right next season.

 

RW: Mo & Diaz

CF: Bobby & Gakpo

LW: Nunez & Jota

 

With a lot of interchanging around that. 

[Bobby Hundreds]

Jota is terrible on the right, I've no idea about Diaz but the whole square pegs and round holes is annoying, we often do this even when you are happy with a team selection you then see how the players actually line up and think why not just play them where they play best we are over complicating things.

As it stands Brighton have a better chance of finishing top 4 than us! 

 

Quite sad that they've started to break up their team already, mind. 

[Bobby Hundreds]

Well I think how he's reacted to not getting his move might of swayed Klopps opinion of him not that we would of or should of paid his huge fee.

[diamondjoe]

This is it, this is the day we turn this listing behemoth around. 

0-4
