El 1st Leg - Augsburg Away

[Oncy]

Our left side is awful.

You accidentally typed the word left in the middle of your statement there Mark.

 

[Fabio]

We're shit

 

[rurikbird]

Augsburg are starting to dominate the play on both flanks. So far Kolo and Sakho are alert to crosses, but we need to do a better job at preventing those deliveries in the first place. Time for some tactical reshuffle and a rocket up the arse from Klopp.

 

[hamstrung_pigeon]

Toure to Sakho to Toure to Sakho to Toure to Henderson to Sakho to Toure to Sakho to Toure to Sakho to Can to Sakho to Toure to Milner to Toure to Sakho to Toure to Sakho to Can to Henderson to Sakho to Toure to Sakho...

Maybe we should play without centrebacks in the 2nd half.

Every 2 legged round of every cup is the same from us in the last couple of years, Ming and the 2 CB's pass the ball around for 160 minutes, we concede in the final 10 mins of the second leg, then we start chasing the game frantically last 10 mins.

Every Europa league game?? Sounds like every game for last 15 years.

 

[Raz]

We're shit

Yep.

 

[hamstrung_pigeon]

Also... does Milner remember we're playing in red today? Maybe he's still stuck in the Villa game because I swear almost every single pass he's made has been to a white shirt.

 

[Frogfish]

If Augsburg were in the PL they would be relegated (as they might be from the BL this season) but out midfield is so shite that we are simply not giving our attack any ammunition, because they look likely to make something happen whenever they (rarely) get the ball in or around the box.

Milner / Henderson / Moreno and especially Can have been utter shite.

 

[Raz]

The Klopp effect!

 

[Modo]

Jeez that was boring.
Firmino should have passed it to Sturridge. We would be one up.

 

[davud graham]

The midfield of Can , henderson and Milner has been very ordinary tonight. No pace , drive or ambition in them at all. The three of them are sleepwalking through the match.

 

[gkmacca]

Coutinho. Hopefully he'll score a couple in the second half, but boy, does he drive me mad. He's got possession, several easy risk-free passes to keep the move going, and he tries to back heel it into the area without looking to see if anyone's there. He does that so often, the pointless tricksy pass that loses us possession. He's got to learn that a simple pass isn't some kind of crime against his artistry.

 

[Gary25]

Henderson seems unable to move. Literally.

Straight up, would you care if he got sold in the summer?

 

[Ijg]

Can someone wake me up when the team decides to wake up.

 

[Raz]

Henderson seems unable to move. Literally.

Who? Our club captain?

 

[Oncy]

Ive just looked at all the teams in this competition.
I dont think this is out best route into the champions league anymore.
Overhauling a 9pt deficit in the league will be easier.

Ah but 16 of them will be out after this round !

Yes!

 

[Oncy]

Christ if Coutinho goes in summer we are fucking finished.
Hes the only player we have got who........no nothing else, hes the only player we have got.

 

[Raz]

Tim Sherwood has just said on Bein Sports.... "Augsburg are no Aston Villa are they?"

Tim Sherwood has just said on Bein Sports.... "Augsburg are no Aston Villa are they?"

He also commented on how we are having problems creating chances - unlike in the Premier League.

He does talk some waffle completely unrelated to the facts.

We create the sum total of fuck all, nine games out of ten.

 

[Hansern]

Offside????? What pills has the lino been popping?

 

[tombrown]

Studge you turd

 

[Portly]

Studge is looking sluggish tonight.

 

[rurikbird]

Wow, how did Sturridge miss that? Had it been Benteke, he's be run out of town on a stick.

 

[darkstarexodus]

Nice movement. That should have been it.

 

[rurikbird]

We're playing much better so far in the 2nd half

 

[Hansern]

Better in the second half. Was always going to open up a bit more.
