Huddersfield FC vs Lizardpool FC Match Thread... *Kicks Can*

[Esoteric]

Robbie Savage rocking the Peter Stringfellow look back in the studio.

I think that's now 10 or maybe 11. Which is equal to his best ever total for an entire season.

So well on his way to the minimum requirement of 15-20. Great to see how he has improved.

Almost as great as watching you squirm your way through these carefully-worded compliments.

He's made you look a fucking fool.

There had to be a first time. Maybe Firmino is my Joe Allen/ Matip/ Lucas/ Hayden Mullins/ Wijnaldum

 

[mom]

I fucking love Firmino. Always have, always will.

Damn straight

 

[Rosco]

We should be able to hang on for a draw now

 

[manwithnoname]

I think the pressure of not being the main goal scorer, and having that burden lifted by Salah, has helped his game.

Long may it continue

Ironically a lot os his goals have come from drifting into that space in behind that Mane leaves when he comes short. He tends to time his runs beautifully into that space.

 

[mom]

The run, and the timing of it, to take it from Mane was just as impressive. He's a superb footballer.

Always has been, which is why he’s always been the first on Klopps team sheet.
Even when he’s not scoring, he’s pivotal to so much else and allows the rest of the attack to score as well as they do.

 

[Oliver Twist]

Always has been.

Of course he has.

 

[manwithnoname]

Mane with a headed chance, too close to the keeper

 

[hmmmmm1]

Chance for mane

 

[Ryan]

2nd half possession: 90% to us.

Absolute domination.

Argh, great chance for Mane!

 

[Markeh]

Why is Matip always the first to want to put the ball out for an injured opposition player.

 

[Ryan]

I'm calling it... The 'Mo Salah... running down the wing' chant is fucking shit.

 

[hmmmmm1]

Matip with a dreadful pass out to touch

 

[manwithnoname]

This is relaxing and almost enjoyable. Nice

 

[Fabio]

Nah, it's boss

 

[Ryan]

This has been largely a 3-4-3 from us.

 

[FoxForceFive]

Klopp's defo told them to test their keeper cos we're hitting targeted (as in not desperately skied/hit & hope shots) long range shots at him as a matter of course.

 

[Ryan]

Lorius Karius the best keeper on the pitch. That can't have happened too often.

 

[manwithnoname]

Great stuff from Milner to nick the ball back. mane scoops it wide

 

[FoxForceFive]

Lorius Karius the best keeper on the pitch. That can't have happened too often.

I bet him & Mignolet play at opposite in ends in training games, so about half of them he would be.

Heh.

 

[manwithnoname]

Henderson looks a lot more mobile and is playing well on his return

Certainly haven't missed Wijnaldum

 

[Ryan]

A Scottish left back bought from Hull City for 8 million quid.

And he's a revelation.

What a fucking coup that's turned out to be.

 

[Fabio]

Maybe we've actually been sensible and nursed him back slowly

 

[manwithnoname]

Certainly haven't missed Wijnaldum

Nope

I'm sure dreamy didn't need another player to look a tit over, but here we are

 

[Fabio]

Certainly haven't missed Wijnaldum

Well we're away, so playing with 11 men is enough of a boon
