We're playing like champs we are. They must be patting themselves on their backs.
Obviously I was hoping being cynical earlier in the week wouldn't coming back to haunt us...but hmmm so farWho'd have thought it? I thought this being a totally different Liverpool team to midweek meant there would be no pressure or confidence issue? Oh wait.
Wtf is influenza-b? Bird flu?!
Anyway. We are just missing a way to get behind them. Keep playing like this and they'll tire
Gini has done that too.True. But everytime Hendo has the ball he slows down our play and allows Brighton to regain their shape.
No movement, no sharpness from midfield.
Gini has done that too.
I think only Gini in the 44th minute has actually dribbled past his man. We need more of that because otherwise we are plying in front of them and trying to thread it through using a gazillion intricate passes. Maybe Keita is the answer (for Hendo or Gini).When Shaqiri turned and carried the ball out of the back towards the end of the half, then played it to Robertson, showed us how to break them down. Need a ball carrier, not just a bunch of 8 yard square passes like molasses in January.
It's exactly what I said pre gameHenderson and Wijnaldum looking very ponderous. Not the best combination for a game like this. We're actually missing Fabinho in midfield - he moves the ball faster and with more purpose than either of these two.
Keita perhaps? It's really time he offered us something this season.
That's not fair, gross managed to block Salah for a bitThat was Moreno-like from Gross with the back leg.
