Nextgen vs Wolfsburg

[Pidge]

Anyone still watching?

 

Been a dull game, Suso is having a shocker (to the point where I am wondering if he's colourblind or something) and the attacking movement has been really poor and languid.

[Guest LFD]

I think Smith should have got booked for that unecessary shove on the German player that had to leave the field.

 

Suso can't get in the game, Wolfsberg are tradionally German-like - strong, very organised and make it tough for the opponents.

 

Wisdom has been superb so far. Wouldn't be surprised if Morgan is the game changer off the bench.

[Guest Ronin47]

yeah not great so far , they look really well organised and suso is having an off night.

 

Hope the second half will liven it up.

[Guest LFD]

The ref has been spot on so far.

[Pidge]

Wolfsburg have doubled up on Suso, Sterling and Silva really well. I think Morgan's movement could well be the key here.

[Red Phoenix]

Get Eccleston on.

[James Dean]

I'd defo put on Morgan for Ngoo. Suso is having a real stinker. Again.

[Allan]

Wolfsburg have doubled up on Suso, Sterling and Silva really well. I think Morgan's movement could well be the key here.

 

Very flat going forward tonight. I'd have Adorjan and Morgan on for Suso and Ngoo in the second half. I'd also like to see Silva and Sterling switch wings for a bit.

[Allan]

Decent free kick from Wolfsburg, but poor marking from the lads allowing someone to sneak in round the back to tuck home. 1-0 Wolfsburg.

[John101]

Crystal Palace in the cup was the last time i saw either the reserves or U18's play well. Im a fucking jinx

[Rafiagra]

I expected so much more from us in this competition. Don't think any of ours have lived up to the hype.

[ritchie]

This is what happens when you restrict yourself to one formation and one way of playing. To be fair though the same team were very good last week at Molde.

[Allan]

Adorjan is on for Suso.

[lebron]

Any streams available?

[Guest San Don]

We look very static and short of inventive moves.

 

Our 2 home games have been massive disappointments.

[Guest LFD]

Any streams available?

 

Think you can watch the games live on the next gen official website.

Naah, probably SKY and/or LFC tv that have the rights..

[Allan]

The lads have plugged away in the second half, and deservedly drew level courtesy of an own goal after some superb play from Adorjan.

[Allan]

We could have, and perhaps should have, taken the lead in stoppage time.

 

First Morgan was denied after a nice through ball from Sterling put him clear, but the Wolfsburg keeper did well to force him wide, and his effort was cleared off the line by a back tracking defender and out for a corner.

 

From the corner, Coady had a header stopped on the line by the man on the far post, and unfortunately for us, the ball ended up in the keepers hands and the threat died out.

 

Full-time, 1-1. Probably a fair result if truth be told.

 

Much better second half showing.

[sir roger]

Get Eccleston on.

 

He's off with Tom Hanks looking for Da Vinci's coat , or something like that.

[Trumo]

Adorjan is on for Suso.

 

Only watched the second half, so didn't see how Suso played. During the half time break, Claire Rourke and Neil Mellor talked about how Liverpool struggled to make any inroads, citing the lack of movement and urgency. The above substitution meant that Liverpool still had a player with excellent technical ability in there, but where Adorjan has an edge on Suso at present is the level of urgency he brings to proceedings. It looks like that urgency eventually paid off, and could have reaped greater dividends at the end.

Your getting repped as soon as I get to a pc

[Brownie]

I had high hopes for Suso but he's another Pacheco I reckon.

[Pidge]

Pacheco would have torn this competition apart his movement at reserve level was excellent and he rarely played a lazy pass. Today Suso couldn't find a red shirt and wasn't trying hard enough to make an option in the final third.

[ritchie]

I had high hopes for Suso but he's another Pacheco I reckon.

 

Pacheco was always a good player at reserve level, Suso only ever plays well in fits and starts even at that level and just isn't progressing. Adorjan's a better talent for me.

 

Borrell might have finally lost patience with him after hauling him off at half time.
