Adelaide match thread

[Rosco]

He's two-footed, but his right foot is the stronger.

Thanks. I was trying to squeeze a joke out of that comment

I'm glad you explained that.

 

[Buddha]

Babel'ing his way along.

Bugger.

Good - Milner, Ibe
Ave - Ming (nothing to do), Skrtel, Lovren, Gomez (one lovely turn on his man though), Henderson, Origi (good with the ball at his feet but abdicating the centre, playing much like he did at Lille), Lallana (having to come inside to cover the space Origi has left).
Below Ave - Clyne (a tad off so far), Allen (being by-passed more than he should be),

Robbie Fowler says 'look' more often than a politician. Cut it out, Robbie lad!

 

[StevieM]

Origi is balls.

Gomez has done well.

Lallana & Ibe not getting into the game enough.

 

[StevieM]

.... and it's fucking cold....

 

[Judge Jules]

Is Lawrenson saying Origi's name correctly? Oh-reeg-i?

As opposed to O-ree-gee? Yes, I'd have thought so.

 

[cloggypop]

Out of interest, do we have a single left-footer in this team?

Leave the sectarianism to Glasgow.

 

[Ryan]

I've played against half those defenders that are taking the piss out of Divock Origi.

 

[Ryan]

Lovren misses a header from point blank range, but it's ok - he was able to reach up and fix his hair within milliseconds.

 

[LeTallecWiz]

Ignore Ryan on Ibe - he's been very good. Smart on the ball, some dangerous runs and a nice attempted header on goal.

 

[Ryan]

Alright, let's focus on the positives:

- We've got two significantly better fullbacks now than we had last season.
- Milner's an enormous step-up on last season's Gerrard.
- Lallana looks very sharp with a proper pre-season under this belt as opposed to last year's injury-interrupted one.

 

[LeTallecWiz]

Lallana still holds onto the ball far too long ... if he had the ability to release it quicker more often, he'd be an even more dangerous player (if he can stay healthy).

 

[LeTallecWiz]

Ibe absolutely dominating now ... sets up Lallana for a good attempt, which is really well saved.

'Babeling' ...

The little dick speaks ... Enjoy yourself dickie.

 

[Skullflower]

Lawrenson really doesn't like origi

 

[Mors]

Milner looks a class act. He'll do some damage next season when he's not got people like Origi playing infront of him.

 

[Mors]

And bang, he scores. Although offside lolz

 

[LeTallecWiz]

great break here ...

Milner wins the ball ... gets it to Henderson, who pushes it up all the way ... Who passes it to Babel Ibe, who puts in a great ball in the box where Milner (offside) puts it in.

 

[Best Believe It]

Milner taking care of bidnis

 

[gkmacca]

Lawrenson really doesn't like origi

He's explaining why, though, with pretty fair comments.

 

[Skullflower]

Ings guarantees goals

 

[Skullflower]

Oh yeah purely. He's not looking good leading the attack.

 

[Mors]

I wonder if it's worth getting Origi on loan to a bottom half team over here for a season? Is he going to progress that much for us this season being 4th or 5th choice?

 

[LeTallecWiz]

He's explaining why, though, with pretty fair comments.

He's given Lovren the 'seal of approval' for the upcoming year ... What are your thoughts on his chances of playing to the level we saw at Soton?

Who scored? Missed the goal dealing with the kids.
