Bordeaux vs Liverpool (Europa League) Match Thread

The new Xabi Alonso

The more weight Rodgers loses the more he resembles a bobblehead. His head used to look in proportion, now it's just huge, like someone's stuck a paper mache body under an easter island head or something.

Owen doing my tits in, worse than usual for some reason

I was gonna say that. He's fucking horrific.

 

[FoxForceFive]

Good pass from pedro & run there from Orogi to set that up. Shame about the final ball.

Owen us the least knowledgable and capable pundit there is

 

[FoxForceFive]

I'm glad Michael Owen told me Rossiter has two feet.

I always worry when a player comes through to the first team that they'll be hopping around the pitch & flinging themselves to the ground trying to header it.

And that's saying something when you have Andy Townsend in the equation.

And he's watched him loads - yeah OK mikes

Lallana staying down cos he's too embarrassed to show his face.

 

[neildo]

You in Vancouver? I think @studsup is there too. My friends all go to the Butcher and Bullock for our games? Are they showing it there?

Usually I do, but I'm stuck at site today. Got up and went there for the united game though. Wish I hadn't...

 

[dmishra]

Lallana is starting to compete with Downing in being a colossal waste of money.

Starting?

Couthino hits post

 

[Mamma Mia]

Wowser. Remember when Coutinho couldn't seem to get power behind his shots?

 

[dmishra]

Well, I used to fairly like him. He's starting to get on my tits though.

Meanwhile, near worldy from Coutinho. He loves that part of the pitch.

Looks like an older version of Coutinho.

 

[Vlads Quiff]

Whoah hang on boys Lallana has been out for weeks with an injury - cut him a bit of slack

 

[FoxForceFive]

That shot from Coutinho was boss. Would have been another worldie if he'd have scored.

That shouldn't be our best chance in a match though.

 

[dmishra]

Boring first half. We've improved since Kolo came off though.

Coutinho the most dangerous player, but we haven't got much numbers in attack.

I dislike 3-4-3 as a formation, but whatever. Our latest philosophy is change the formation every game.

 

[Farkmaster]

That was some attempt from Coutinho, huge amount of power from nothing.

 

[cloggypop]

Is the Under 21s usually more exciting than this?

 

[ILD]

I like Lalllana. He's likeable. Silky and he tries. Not worth the money but I like him.

It's like Rodgers buying strategy.

Keep throwing shit at the wall, eventually something will stick.

Do they not train together? 11 strangers on the pitch.

Not that I don't agree with you, but that seems to be all he does. Gets injured, comes back, tries to find some form and gets injured again...

 

[Farkmaster]

This formation is really set up to feature Moreno and Ibe. And therein lies the problem.

If it was almost any other player everyone would be saying just that.

New back line, two teenagers in midfield and we haven't seen Origi as CF before, considering the tender age of this team and that they probably haven't played much together at all they seem to be doing OK. Bordeaux really don't seem to be all that. Bring on Ings and Firmino and we'll win this.
