Atalanta (A) - EL Quarter Final, 2nd leg - Thu 18th Apr 2024 (8:00pm)

[The Guest]

It’s mad how shit at attacking we can be week after week and yet we start the next game with exactly the same shite tactics and plan every single time.

 

I’ll say it again as well because I never get bored of saying it.  Trents attitude and body language make me fucking sick.  The fact that somebody is allowed to behave like that and get lauded the way he does because he can hit a long pass is the problem.  We don’t address weaknesses in players and we let them fester.

 

The lack of width is a complete mess and obvious to anyone with a pair of eyes other than Klopp and Ljinders for some reason.  We don’t score goals from open play because we don’t create chances.  We don’t create chances because our plan is a thousand passes in the middle of the pitch and if we don’t manage to give it away then eventually pass it to a player outwide on his own and expect a miracle.  I’m fucking sick to death of it.

Refs not at fault we are going out but he's been shit. If he gives the red it's a different game

[NoelM]

Trent is really ragged at the moment, passing is gone

[Lee909]

We've not figured out their press at all and it's why we are so slow

[Planet Origi]

Fucking typiclaly disgraceful attempt at a cross from Trent

[BeefStroganoff]

Hopefully this is the death knell of the 433

He's a fucking show pony. Hoddlesque levels of prancing and showboating. 

[Baltar]

Gomez is coming on, we're saved.

[Elite]

Gomez coming on. Why?

[bossy]

Other than the leagues winning season, under Klopp we’ve always had a month where we look clueless.  It’s now, this season.

[chrisbonnie]

This whole trent not playing in an actual position is an absolute waste of time. 

 

He's completely ineffective in the game. He's either a full back or a midfielder, they really should have made their mind up on where he should be playing at this stage of the season 

[magicrat]

Gomez coming on to get us a couple of quick goals 

[Lee909]

This game was won or lost on Mo chance and the non red card just before HT

[Rushies tash]

Fucking hell. Van Dijk and Konate completely killing our momentum against Palace - they've roped Alisson in on it tonight.

It won't be, I think we actually look better when we go 4-2-4 when we chase a game.

[BeefStroganoff]

Painful this now

[Colt Seavers]

Looking like we've run out of ideas. Need Darwin to mix things up.......or Gomez

 

Edit: Missed the Nunez sub didn't realise he was on the pitch

Because trents knackered.

[Torvald Utne]

We're protecting our 1 nil lead very well, breaking up play, slowing things down, excellent

Shots from distance

[Anubis]

This has all gone stale. It’s not going to happen.

That sums up both legs for me. We just don't know how to react to it. It's like they've not done any work on how to counter what they're doing.

[halewood pete]

Shit or bust
