  1. I believe that the tactic change when we brought Thiago on was supposed to lead to more possession and penatration against packed defences Even with our famed front 3 the red arrows goals dropped off. Elliott and Carvalho are right and left front 3. Not saying I agree but I think medium to long term that was the plan for them I fear the return to the shite when the "1st" team show up. Fingers crossed
  2. When JK got it all going we were a mighty beast, we loved it when teams tried to go toe to toe it usually ended in disaster for them. Those cheating cunts down the east lancs just kept winning so hitting 95 plus points was not enough, it was draws that did for us in many of the last 5 seasons. Couple of years they said they had to evolve and Thiago was the start. That nugget to breakdown stubborn defences and turn those draws into wins. MAYBE that is where Carvalho and Elliot came in to make us that possession based dominant force. But who else? The rest of the squad was based on press press work work. Diaz is Mane light but the potential to be a real legend... When Saudi Toon stole our motto they have literally stole our identity. Dave on the pod constantly asks who should go? As you role through the squad the obvious names will crop up, Ox Keita, maybe fabinho, the Hendo haters (not me) but then most will pause and struggle. I hold my hands up Thiago was never for me in the prem. Thought he would slow us down that he was built for City more than us plus his age. But he has held us together most weeks. I am putting a large chunk of this on the backroom staff, coaches , medical team etc. We had a 6 week break, most of our 7 players at the WC were not over taxed and we came out of that worse and more injuries. We look like when Ten Hag took over at Utd. Tried to press with players totally incapable of doing what he needed, that's us at the moment. Now he has sorted some shit out Rashford is a world beater and they are hard to beat. Do they press, not always he is pragmatic and plays on the break now and then. City are off the pace, as has been said they are great front runners but chasing? No. That title is already in Arsenal pocket unless they capitulate. Newcastle (hate talking about them) but recruiting Burn, Isaak, Botman, Pope and Trippier probably disappointed the fans but they are set up well and organised. The definition of insanity is to do the same thing time and time again and expect the same result All those shit performances leading to Brighton. They did change the shape but with the same personnel who does that? If you want a creative player at the top of a diamond it's not Thiago, Keita maybe, Ox possibly Curtis even. Then sit deep and compact and play round them. That would be something different Play 3 at the back Put Sleepy Joe right back and trent in midfield Those options are something a bit different not just moving Thiago from the left to a tip of a diamond then all charge forward. Individually most of our team WALK into the top 6 in the prem. Most clubs would love Klopp (other than City) last season Arsenal would have sacked Arteta to get Klopp. We weren't perfect last season and lack of midfield investment has hurt us but for me the slower tiki taki way we play and are being coached is and has been the biggest concern. Finally Hat off to Adam Llalana not only did his help make us great I bet his influence on how Brighton have evolved has been key. Klopp told us that when he was on the defending part of the press at training he always found a way out of it. Soul searching on the coaching team please Jurgen. Get us organised please. We are right behind you.
  3. Very ominous Group therapy needed somewhat Hi my name is Paul and I am a Liverpool fan of over 50 years. My only comfort is that I am not an Evertonian......
  4. Games over training all pro's say that. Citeh away both at 3/4 strength proper competitive minutes under the belt. Villa with their shit Everton reject keeper and undercooked by another 3 days to us. I expect big things there performance wise and a win. After that it's keeping everyone healthy which this medical team seem palpably unable to do. I can see some formation switches in the coming games until fresh legs come in January 1 up top , 3 at the back.. . Depending on opposition and venue. One thing for sure, great or shite, it should be interesting (note I avoided entertaining). Small shout to Konate thought he looked top in the world cup. Also on the pod Matip Konate not the worst pairing if Shit Virg turns up.
  5. One for Dave Darren England reffed Norwich Watford so clearly not good enough to ref in the Prem!
  6. Central league footy, top quality but in the days of one sub. Yes kids that one dub was a major step forward from no subs. Now a premier league bench has more players and staff than a league 2 fixture. On the age thing agree big 12 months but let's not lose sight of the ages of Trent, Konate, Gomez , Curtis, Harvey, Fabio,Luis, Darwin.... just need time to gel then allow Morten, Frauendorf, Mussilewski, Cannonier, Beck time to develop. Squad not as old as we think, just a little unbalanced on new players v old v experience That will come.
  7. The crowd need to put in a full intensity 90 mins next week even if the team don't. Agree it worries me they could destroy us. Feels like 5 at the back close the space and pace on the counter. But as poundland city showed yesterday the devastating inside the full back pass, a city staple and once upon a time ours. Feels really sad that we are saying stuff like "stay in the game and await a chance to come" that's what we have become Still COYR thick and thin.
  8. us or because Rangers are shit? We’ll find out on Sunday. think we just fuckin found out.... More defensive shit show
  9. Spot on Dave. It's lots of small things all adding up. The cheats down the east lancs play a high line and v teams with 10 behind the ball. Why do they get so many tap ins? Because they stretch the play really wide, because they make the opposition defend on the penalty spot not the edge of the area, their full backs spend more time on the opposition goal line than there own... All stuff we used to do. Trent spends more time in the inside right position than overlapping.... We all know we are playing too slow and in front of the defence, all stuff you have written about. One last thing every week some fucker gifts a goal to the opposition keeper dribbling shit back passes.... Never against us. That little bit of luck. Hope and pray this is the wake up call. Now Matip back we will be more solid, how many top tackles and interception did he make once he got into his stride, Please stay fit. Chelsea panicked are probably going to ruin Graham Potter top coach and all round good bloke. We don't panic and we have to trust the guys to get it right This is one game in the group, but we need to recover, qualifying is all that matters, we are "only 5 points behind City" 32 to play, and we are in crisis? IF we can sort it who knows...
  10. Agree every word. We suddenly can't score, not a real suprise when you lose 25 a season in Mane. Therefore vital you defend well and aggressive Also the Ten Haag love in. As you say he was Fulham and Palace tactics and the neanderthals lapped it up He will do the same v Citeh, ie fuck his tip tap principles for that game. Watch them fuck up v the rest of the league trying to play from the back. I also see what klopp meant about them coming off a 5.0 win as then Slab head Fat Shaw and Prinaldo would have started and then..... But we were shite
  11. This is my instinct but I think Mo dries up every season he has been here It is churlish to think that as others need to step up but Mo "losing " that finish at the end of this season was not a suprise. His numbers are off the scale and last season he carried us, but curious to see a 10 game split of his goals per season. Good to have you back sir. Great report as always.
  12. Harvey scores and the attacking lads all round him. First to hug him (or very nearly first) Milner. He fckin loves Harvey, surrogate dad. What a top professional to have mentoring you. Frightening future when Carvalho turns up in the summer. What a time to be a red
  13. Woodrow is at Barnsley and their best player, not that I am an expert.... Success? Decide yourself
  14. Arsenal have previous...Sheffield Utd FA CUP a few years ago. Fat head Bruce in charge of Sheff Utd Ended up a replayed game. Spineless and snide cheats.
  15. It was JK himself talking about how Lallana used to piss him off in a nice way in that whatever pressing style or pressure they put on him in training he always had an answer. Plus Potter being as smart as he is not a suprise they were able to play through us. Jurgens own boy coupled with a clever manager undid us.
  16. Agree with all of the sentiments, shite fans, decent bunch of lads as players, best player should never take an easy first pen (never see Ronaldo doing that) Southgate shit it when it mattered (not to me mind) i had a nice touch on the 1.1 scoreline. Picking up yesterday post hype, and real news, is Where are Klopp's Glasses? All the pics from Austria he is wearing none. Even taking pics without them. New eyes?
  17. i shouted Ward Prowse about 3 years ago, could be a replacement for Hendo with additional dead ball benefit. seems a good lad.
  18. The blatant cheating from the officials is in nearly all decisions. They are so arrogant now they don't even try to hide it. One daft moment and a bit pedantic but sums up the point that the opposition can do what they want, not talking about how long it took that cunt Gomes to get booked v Kabak. 6 fouls to 2 by the way. He gave Salah off side late in the game. They took the free kick 10 yards inside our own half. 20 mins earlier he was waving trent back on a throw in. They do all the little stuff and that adds up to the shite we have to endure. Wss there a single free kick not given EVERY time a blueshite went to ground. Klopp should call it now, take the stadium ban the club pay his fine. Let them know we won't tolerate it. In fact the players should have walked off after that pen. Fuckin fuming.
  19. Gonna put this out there. Thiago is great for 10 mins a game but other than that bit shit really. Cant defend doesn't look like scoring and actually gives the ball away quite a lot. Bet when we are fully on song he looks great but when its hard??? I was impressed but its little periods. So not having him just yet jury well and truly out. The rest have all just been shit basically. Anyone tell me what he adds. Brought in to boss games create openings and keep the ball moving shifting defenders etc. If he was making all the right balls and those clowns up top were just not firing I would give him a free pass. Noticed in the Manure game how easy it was for him to be passed around after he had a great start Hopefully as he gets fitter and gets the pace of the game he will come to the fore. He is no minamimo thankfully. Just hoped he would be that spark we needed to unlock defences and so far its a no.
  20. Not a single dangerous free kick position Not a single VAR review Shaw tackling Salah in the box going to ground and Shitierney gives them a free kick! all too slow, TAA losing the ability to cross the ball Another mention to the "last kick" Free kick crying out to be dropped on the pen spot all rushing in, no he knocks it short for straight punt into the box. 3 fkin times now he has done that 2 corners and that. Feels like something is going on in the background for so many to be so poor for so many games. Also last season we won tons of points in the last 10 mins. That now lack of belief that they will score goes hand in hand with the lack of confidence, i thought that Spurs win would push the belief back into the team Its actually quite sad to see the lads like this, never mind our frustrations. As you say Dave this was supposed to be out time, i also thought get this one in the bag as well, we go back to the grounds level on titles with them, in the boss seat after all their glory years we were level with them, then rub their collective noses in their own shit. Keeping the faith....
  21. He floats around being neat and tidy, but he’s meek as fuck and our midfield My missus actually said as they lined up for kick off about how weak and spindly Keita's legs were
  22. This team thrives on pressure and momentum the bigger the pressure the better they are (and driven by the fans). We all know that any break, time off, cup weekends.... the next game they are off colour. They are driven, but when there is nothing to strive for, no pressure and a lay off we get this. I am expecting we are in ticking over mode then bang off we go for the new season.
  23. Bobby just waiting to score THE goal at Anfield that clinches the title, That is how that lad rolls.
  24. Long balls are for teams who can't play the long pass. Everyone in our team can PASS long. Allison ball was a pass, not a long ball. Paisley summed it up. no such thing as a long pass or a short pass, just the right pass.
