Liverpool v Leicester match thread

Looks like Origi to come off. Hopefully nothing serious. Impressive start to the match for him, shame he can't continue.

 

[Markeh]

the human lamppost coming on

 

[Mystic]

Our best player of the game so far goes down injured, isn't that just typical?

 

[Mystic]

Such a shame as it was a really encouraging start from Divock.

 

[darkstarexodus]

We're playing so high, it's working now, working well at strangling them, but it's a dangerous game.

Hopefully we can keep the tempo up. When they get the ball they are resorting to just booting it to midfield for a breather.

Benteke needs to keep the pressure on up front.

 

[darkstarexodus]

Can has been bossing the midfield so far.

 

[Mystic]

Leicester are sensational at throwing their bodies in front of shots, I must have counted five or six blocks so far.

Yep, it hinges on two big ifs for me now, if Benteke can indeed keep up that pressure, and whether or not Claudio has a tactical change which could help Leicester beat our system.

Morgan especially has been great.

 

[Markeh]

Leicester showing theyre still dangerous

 

[Red Astaire]

I've lost my fucking stream. Origi was bossing that - Is he really off? What a drag. Strangely though this could be a good game for Tekkers. Personally I think the reds are playing very well.

 

[darkstarexodus]

Good save that from Mignolet. Even though was right at him

 

[Mystic]

Where the fuck has Marhez come from? Ridiculously talented player, either that or he's another Ben Arfa in the making, but I highly doubt that.

Yeah he came off due to hamstring. Didn't look too serious but they made the decision to pull him off pretty quickly. Thought he had a great start.

Big opportunity for CB. Hope he takes it.

350,000 £. Unreal isn't it.

 

[darkstarexodus]

Chelsea and Spurs have both scored. City up 3 v Sunderland now.

 

[Markeh]

Watford equalise against Chelsea

 

[kingjulian]

You know just now when we won the ball back in midfield....Lucas would have followed the guy all the way to the edge of the box and clipped his ankle....


There will be people saying he took one for the team...

 

[Markeh]

for all Coutinhos talents I don't think he has 'set piece smarts'

 

[Red Astaire]

Keep the updates coming fellas - tinterklacker bandwidth has just shit the bed. Some sort of boxing day outage. 😡

 

[Markeh]

haha you fucking tell him Lallana

 

[darkstarexodus]

Lallana has a beautiful first touch. He could please a woman with his feet.

 

[Mystic]

I'm quite encouraged by Lovren and Sakho, Sakho has been a little flaky, but I think there could be a good partnership in there.

 

[My_Blood_Bleeds_Red]

We're absolutely shite. Dunno what game some of you are watching.

 

[hmmmmm1]

Mahrez is everything we hoped Frim was going to be.

So Silky and threatening every time he gets the ball

 

[Markeh]

it has looked decent, not sure they've had much to deal with though

had the ref given a penalty against Sakho we might be thinking differently, he doesn't look fit.

 

[darkstarexodus]

Good half overall. Have almost totally prevented them from playing. Interesting to see what shifts Ranieri makes.

We haven't had too many great chances either but hAve suffocated them overall.

Firmino anonymous and too early to tell with Benteke. Lallana and Coutinho have been good.

 

[kingjulian]

Origi is so much more of a threat than Benteke...its unreal.

His height, pace and willingness to run behind the back four gave them a lot of headache.

He has so much potential hope he finds a way to unlock them...

 

[My_Blood_Bleeds_Red]

Prevent them from playing ?

Oh how we've fallen much.

 

[Red Mullet]

Prevent them from playing ?

Oh how we've fallen much.

Did you not get the pressies you wanted at Christmas, you negative ninny you?
