Liverpool v Leicester City - Match Thread

[RedStar]

The cover positioning from Jones and Gini to cut off the passing lanes to Vardy and not allow a 1 on 1 foot race with Matip or Fabinho has been excellent

 

[Shay_K]

We look moody today

 

[aquaman4]

Excellent first half performance from every single player . I hope we don't drop off and get them back in the game in the second half.

 

[LeTallecWiz]

just a top top performance ...
i don't think there is a team in world football that could be without their starting RB, starting CBs, starting cms and starting LF (or ST) and play as well as we are.
So impressed.

 

[Woland]

Only need another 8 to go top

I've been put of the match thread as my dodgy box has a small delay

Will I get lynched when I suggest Keita has been really good?

No

Pity Thiago is out, Leicester is set up perfect for his skills

Absolutely not

 

[Hansern]

Very good first half performance.
Bobby looks quicker and his close control looks to have come back as result of that.
Jones, Gini and Keita have been very good in midfield.

Jota is a diamond.

 

[FoxForceFive]

Absolutely not

Nope. He's done really well imo.

 

[Halmeister]

Been really impressive here. Hope we can hold on for a point.

 

[Alan Hardaker]

Jota's a live wire, Nabby showing well, Fabio at the back, in fact an assured performance all round considering the injury situation.

 

[Frogfish]

Millie has been amazing, an absolute diamond.

 

[rurikbird]

Looks like Rodgers has outfoxed himself by setting up his team to play long ball and avoid any semblance of build-up from the back (which they are quite good at). Maddison and Thielemans have been nullified without the ball.

 

[rurikbird]

Millie has been amazing, an absolute diamond.

Yeah, after a worrying start he’s really picked up and his passing has been Trent-like. I would still like one of the CMs to keep a watchful eye on the spaces he leaves behind when he lunges into challenges.

 

[Alan Hardaker]

Jones is playing well, bit more conservative than I expected. But he's playing himself in to the side. Expect to see him be a bit more creative in the coming months.

 

[Mystic]

Keita been great, but I do worry that that's only due to Leicester's midfield being virtually absent.

 

[Shay_K]

COME ON YOU RED MEN

 

[LeTallecWiz]

He's clearly being 'told' to be that way - and I think that highlights what kind of prospect is, the discipline, the talent etc.

Great performance from him so far.

We are a touch deeper without VVD. Fab & Joel I mean.But can't lose possession cheaply around the half way line.

 

[Shay_K]

Leicester will have to take risks

Rodgers out foxing himself is synonymous

 

[darkstarexodus]

Well-marshalled by Matip there.

 

[Holle]

Keita wrecked
