Fulham (H) - EFL Cup Semi Final, 1st leg - Wed 10th Jan 2024 (8:00pm)

[Code]

Hopefully a lesson learned for the upcoming games without Salah.

 

We need goalscorers on the pitch. 

[KevieG]

Better second half. Harvey as a forward needs to stop. Two subs made a big difference. Jota excellent. 

 

Squad really is bare bones now. Hopefully Jones hasn't picked something up

[bossy]

A poor game but we did what was needed. 

[Fugitive]

Connor Bradley is pretty good.

[El Rojo]

Tonight was like the earlier games in the season where our attacking subs burnt off the opposition in the end.

 

Ballsy from Klopp to go all out, but it worked.

 

Bradley looked excellent. We could push Trent into midfield in some games. 

[Elite]

Nunez is the unluckiest player ever and that's coming from someone who isn't a fanboy.

Most people are on the wind up. Get a sense of humour for fuck sake. 

Yeah, that’s what it was.

[ZonkoVille77]

Bradley was excellent. Gakpo changed the game when he came on, linking up midfield and attack brilliantly. Nunez was a constant threat, deserves a goal. Onwards and sideways. We're fucking shite.

[gkmacca]

The ghost of Don Revie must have been drenching in ectoplasm in ecstasy at that performance. What a shite-spewing side they are. If the sports hacks had any integrity they'd seize on that god-awful eye-holding farce in the first half as just one example of what they got away with. We should go there and batter the shite of them.

'Antonee Robinson. Nonce behaviour with a spelling like that. Proper stalking the fit PT in the gym. A hazard. 

Excellent shithousery.

Brilliant tonight. Has that maturity about him too. Standing over the ball to prevent free kicks getting taken quickly. Love that.

He looked very good didn't he

[Joey8FrogsLegs]

Fairly good game that overall. Thought the first half was decent, except for a few vital bits lacking in the final third. Second half we were far more dangerous. Should have scored inside the first 10 minutes, then we struggled for some ten minutes after the subs. Then a strong finish, and Nunez really made a difference with his threat in behind them. 
 

Only negative is we didnt get the extra goal or two the performance deserved.

 

Thought Jones, Konate, Gakpo and Mac Allister all played well. Jota was excellent, as was Nunez, but thought Bradley was even better and for me he was man of the match. Simply looks a very good player, even at this level.

He has connected well at point blank range at least 3 times lately and keepers have saved them. Fairly unlucky alright.

Connor Bradley strolled onto the pitch, looked at those Fulham haircuts and the ‘Portuguese Man O’ War’ in the dugout, thought who are these cunts, and took control of the right hand side line a Boss.

Was thinking exactly the same when the keeper made that wonder save to deny him near the end. Nunez really needs to catch a break by mishitting one of these finishes as it will probably end up going in. .

Curtis is a fantastic footballer. First midfielders name on the team sheet for me.

Aaargh. Accidental neg. Meant to rep

I'd like to get a fanboy take, can anyone direct me to one?

[LFC 6 Times]

Gakpo needs to play more, he’s brilliant. Such a smart footballer and probably the best finisher in the squad.

[Anubis]

What is Klopp even doing on the back row there??!!

[Freddo]

Don't know about anyone else, but I think we'll be glad of this winter break. Such as it is. Saying that, we play again week on Sunday. Winter break, piss take really. Let's get some signings in.
