Leicester v Liverpool Match Thread

[Mystic]

Obstruction

Nah,absolutely nothing in it.

 

[hmmmmm1]

The 2 centre halfs and the keeper all at sea in the first half. Infuriating

 

[mark1975]

I hope someone snaps that cheating twat in the second half.

 

[Mystic]

Of course they get away with a fucking blatant foul.

 

[Markeh]

Cheating cunts

First vardy, then I thought okazaki was obstructing the keeper when the corner was taken

 

[Hansern]

Horrendous refereeing. Shame We're at the end of it.
Blatant foul on Ming not given.
How the officials didnt see that is fucking awful.

 

[Hansern]

Other than that shocking piece of refereeing. Good half by us.

 

[mark1975]

Ming has been great aswell, Hoddle tried his best to blame Ming then and ended up looking like a gimp.

 

[Holle]

Offsides, this.

Mignolet was further upfield and only one player between Okazaki and the goal.

 

[Red Bird]

Why do our players, at crucial moments, seem to switch off? Top level ones don't.

Anyway.I think the referee was making up for that awful call over Okazaki's goal

 

[jimmy]

How is that not a foul on Mignolet?!
It's the Watford goal all over again. Shit refereeing.

 

[Kay Age El]

Henderson's been quite decent this half and Coutinho and Salah have both been outstanding. We really do need another goal to win this. At least.

 

[keniget]

As soon as Matip conceded that foul I knew they were going to score and I'm sure everyone else did too.

That was about the most Liverpool way to concede a goal possible.

 

[dmishra]

Yeah, but Leicester will argue that the first Okazaki goal was wrongly disallowed.

 

[Brizzle]

Hopefully the adrenaline from that means we come out all guns blazing second half. We let them back into it towards the end of the half (like we always do).

Gini hasn't been up to much but Hendo & Coutinho looking on it today. I'd throw Ox into this second half - he has a point to prove.

Maguire was offside before he headed it towards Okazaki, that one was correctly disallowed.

 

[keniget]

Also some our passing / ball retention in that half was shocking.

 

[dmishra]

Imagine how amazing it'll be if we don't manage to throw this game away in the second half.

 

[Hansern]

Yeah, but Leicester will argue that the first Okazaki goal was wrongly disallowed.

It wasnt. Maguire was offside

 

[jimmy]

Yeah, but Leicester will argue that the first Okazaki goal was wrongly disallowed.

I don't think it was wrongly disallowed. I thing the offside was called against Maguire who was offside when the cross came in, and headed it towards Okazaki.

 

[dmishra]

Ok, I didn't notice that.

 

[Hansern]

We're obviously gonna concede in the second half. Need to score at least one more.

 

[Halmeister]

Imagine how amazing it'll be if we don't manage to throw this game away in the second half.

Pahahaha yeah right.

 

[tombrown]

Ok, I didn't notice that.

Nor did BT's resident referee ... twat

 

[Insignificance]

Yeah, but Leicester will argue that the first Okazaki goal was wrongly disallowed.

They were 7-8 guys, including Maguire in offside on the cross.

Forget about shite defending or the goalkeeping for a second.

How about some "game management". We are 2-0 up; we should be resting WITH the ball.. making them chase. Instead we are going gung ho, end to end, even in the 40th minute.

It's just naive. I can't believe we HAVE to continue to attack, relentlessly for 90mins. It's not realistic for any team to do this. Not Barcelona, Not Real Madrid and certainly not us. We don't know how to kill a game. Waste time. Slow it down. Show some experience. Chelsea, Mourinho, Conte; they are experts at this. Leicester didn't even have to work for their goal. We gave it to them.

None of our players have the composure to do that.

 

[Red Bird]

None of our players have the composure to do that.

Or, apart from maybe Coutinho, Firmino and Wijnaldum, the footballing brain.

 

[ibromurph]

We need to do as minimum defending as possible, so when you score 2 goals, let the other team chase and get desperate. Eventually opportunities for the counter will be there. Instead we continue to make it a 50-50 game.

 

[Hansern]

Fuck off Moreno
