Brighton (A) Sat 14th of January

[Frogfish]

Shoe horning Ox into the front line when Gakpo-Salah-Doak is a far more fluid and exciting attack.

 

[Red Bird]

Two nil Brighton

Unfortunately, I think you’re right. We’re utterly rubbish at the moment.

 

[mike2903]

Gakpo as a centre forward?

 

[keniget]

Since Ox has gotten fit, his rivals have all gotten injured (and / or shit).

Can someone check his locker or whatever and confiscate his voodoo dolls before there is no-one left?

 

[Buddha]

Diamond I’m guessing

 

[MomoWASright]

We’re gonna win 5-0.

 

[Farkmaster]

Diamond I’m guessing

It's the solution that wasn't in the transfer market!

Come on gakpo. Play like you enjoy it.

 

[binomial]

Gakpo as a centre forward?

Yep.

Not an unfamiliar role for him.

 

[binomial]

Anyone got a working stream?

Hesgoal Sportek releasesky all ad blocked.

Ox is either terrible or quite good. Hoping for the quite good. All depends on his early decision making. If starts well, he tends to be alright, but hardly ever turns things around.

He does press quite well, which is probably why he gets the nod over Doak.

Give him a half and then use Doak 2nd half, if needed.

 

[Halmeister]

Injuries decimating yet another season. FFS.

Nah, it's not just that. The teams we've been putting out should be doing much better.

 

[rubans]

I’m at Reading and Nunez is starting.

 

[moron]

Are we a goal behind yet ?

 

[Donavan Ried]

Just sick of the Ox

 

[KopRed]

We have a non existent midfield again.

 

[binomial]

Stream??

 

[FreshRed]

Front 3 switching all over, which could be helpful.

 

[binomial]

We have a non existant midfield again.

What do you expect with 3 pensioners in there.

 

[FreshRed]

We have a non existent midfield again.

Very dangerous when Thiago presses high, because he does have the pace to recover, if we do not win it.

 

[rurikbird]

Looks like we’re playing a “diamond” in midfield with Thiago so far looking like he plays in a #10 role!

 

[Hansern]

Henderson is so slow its painful to watch

 

[KopRed]

Very dangerous when Thiago presses high, because he does have the pace to recover, if we do not win it.

None of them does. Our press is not working. So far Brighton are gliding through our midfield at will.

 

[keniget]

Good start from us.

 

[Farkmaster]

Klopp is more annoyed than anyone with the ponderous build up.

 

[KopRed]

Oh wow, on another day they could have scored 3 by now.

 

[binomial]

Good start from us.

Yeh....course.

 

[FreshRed]

Good start from us.

???

 

[keniget]

I’m tempted to turn it off whilst it’s still 0-0 so I can pretend things are going well.

 

[Markeh]

This is going to be a long game

 

[rurikbird]

We look utterly confused by this new midfield shape. No one quite knows where to be and who to cover. Miracle we’re not behind yet.
