Leicester City vs Liverpool ( Match Thread)

[Oncy]

Next match Salah needs dropping.
That was fairly disgusting behaviour today.
Ita been called out a few times first 3 games his reticence to pass to infinitely better placed players, but today took the fucking biscuit. Bobby had a tap in and Mo inexplicably tried to dribble round two players.

That would have ended the fight at 3-0

He needs to shake this out of his game. Its not just costing us its costing him. He was so so brilliant last season partly because every team we faced had to mark all three of them. Teams now will think fuck it, if hes got the ball we just close him down, because the pass is just never coming.

Even in 5 a side, powerleague and shit, I used to love facing players who never passed it, they made your job so easy to defend against, because they were so predictable.

He needs to get the fuck over this Mo Salah show.

Alisson 5 fault for goal, otherwise he was pretty good
Trent 6 anonymous offensively, looked uncomfortable taking throws
Gomez 7
Vvd 7
Robbo 8 Motm for me
Hendo 5 headless chicken
Gini 5.5 not much better
Milner 6
Salah 6
Bobby 6 plus 1 for the goal
Sadio 6.5

Keita 6
Shaqiri 6

Great to win. I don’t agree on the game management thing. We were not in control of what happened in that game at all. Better teams will beat us if we play like that.

Neither do I. We defended OK, but we lacked energy, didn't press well enough, made stupid mistakes and our passing was sloppy. We were second best for the entire second half.

Can't keep playing that poorly and expecting to win. Because we won't. That's two poor games on the bounce. Need to improve and take the positives from the points tally so far

I know that Im perceived to be a hater of English players, but Maguire is not a top class defender. He's good, but he's not anywhere near the likes of Van Dijk, Rio etc.
He's slow and doesn't have the technique or passing rage to be worth the money Leicester were asking for him.

True someone on another forum pointed out to me that Maguire was officially one of the top 20 slowest players in the league recently. He doesn't look show sometimes but official stats show that he is! He good coming forward and wins a lot of headers. I think playing next to a fast defender like VVD would compliment him but Gomez is unstoppable at the moment.

That Gomez tackle was the hjghlight

Was Bobby Moore class

Only the white ones Modo, only the white ones.
Sturridge, Gomez, Trent........youre alright with them right?

Milner, Henderson, Lallana.....not so much.

 

[Dreambeliever]

I’m surprised so many are hating on VVD.

He was sublime for me.
He fucking wins so many headers and always seems to be the man clearing the first ball.

Poor pass to Allison aside (which the keeper still should have dealt with) I thought he was exceptional.

Yes he was.

Note that Scouse and Black cancel one another out, poor the TAA

 

[Tinto]

The worst performance of the season so far. We never really looked like scoring in the second half.

Having said that not sure if Leicester did too

 

[binomial]

Becker fucked up, we all knew it was coming and he'll stop doing that shit now, like he demonstrated in the game.
No worries for me. We won.

Will he though?

Why didnt Migs and Karius learn?

Its really worrying

What?! I Love that West Yorkshire cunt.

Except when we broke from Milners tackle

Easy thing to cut out of his game.

Very even on the stats board 51-49 possession, 12-10 shots, 4-4 corners

My real worry is we have no idea what to do when teams press us, thankfully they dont do it often but its defo our weak point

Entire defence was great. Robbo mom 1st half, Gomez mom 2nd half. Midfield and attack struggled. Salah looked tired physically and mentally. Midfield tried but weren't intelligent in their passing and positioning second half.



But credit to Leicester they pressed us well!

 

[Ijg]

Awful performance, stupid by Alisson but we all seen it coming, but we managed to somehow get the 3 points. It wasn’t game management, Leicester didn’t have enough to score, we didn’t control the play or the pace of the game and were just lucky.

Gomez MOTM.

After Beach balls, clangers in finals and fucking retards in goal, I’m hoping now that Alisson has learnt his lesson not to try a Cruyff turn on his fucking goal line, in a game where it’s not cost us the points.

International break, let’s get some more fitness and gel more and hopefully upwards, can’t complain about 4 in 4.

They fucking will now

That was it though. A Klopp team, even in second gear, usually creates more than that.

 

[mwake]

Overall Allisons mistake was indicative of the entire team. Too many touches at the wrong time. Leicester realized that and pressed us hard. Instead of simple play from midfielders and attack we looked like we were trying to impress when in possession, this made it easy for Leicester. We need to balance that needs for flair when in possession with being a little boring.

Also I still think the players are still having preseason training and might take some of them a few weeks more to get fitness levels wise.

I don't want to go to Chelsea lol

Allison

 

[mwake]

Allison

That too lol

 

[Dreambeliever]

Sadly for Allison he was having a cracking game before the howler

 

[Y1]

Horrible second half. I don't know Gini even touched the ball second half. Did we have a shot on target second half?
Lucky win. But hey it is 3 points. I rejoice at that. Next.
