Liverpool vs West Ham - Match Thread

Var check says no handball.

 

[Markeh]

This is the most corners I've seen in a half in ages

 

[FoxForceFive]

Fuck VVD saved off the corner. Great header

 

[hmmmmm1]

Taa skinned a bit too easy there

 

[manwithnoname]

Another fucking corner! Bloody hell

 

[FoxForceFive]

This is far too open. Klopp will be fuming at how easily we're losing possession.

 

[tomasjj]

nice from vvd

 

[Halmeister]

Fucking corners

 

[hmmmmm1]

Kieta does something

 

[Shadey]

A half time shouting from Klopp should get em going for the second half.

 

[Markeh]

I can see keita for ox if this continues

 

[tomasjj]

chopping us down
time to hand our some yellows

 

[FoxForceFive]

Kieta does something

He's had a few good moments but he's been poor overall. That said I don't think anyone has stood out particularly at all, it's all too frenetic.

We should be passing these to death, instead we're playing like it's next goal wins.

 

[HC]

Someone needs to convince me that keita isn't shite

 

[FoxForceFive]

I can see keita for ox if this continues

Lallana will be first midfielder on, & rightly so.

In hindsight I guarantee klopp starts Lallana instead Keita. We're missing an older sensible head in the middlem

 

[Farkmaster]

Fabs needs to do something other than that loopy ball.

 

[hmmmmm1]

Kieta needs hooking. 2 out of 10 performance so far. May as well give mimi a chance.

 

[tomasjj]

new lad gets all the blame
not so original

several established lads are nigh on invisible

 

[manwithnoname]

I'd bring on Chamberlain for Keita. At least he can score.

Keita is fucking shit

 

[Halmeister]

New lad? He's been here two years.

 

[keniget]

Lacking ideas and quality of execution recently.

Doesn’t inspire confidence for the A.Madrid return leg.

 

[hmmmmm1]

Poor half. A draw ain’t bad. We can’t be this bad in the second half

 

[Markeh]

Lallana will be first midfielder on, & rightly so.

In hindsight I guarantee klopp starts Lallana instead Keita. We're missing an older sensible head in the middlem

I'd be happy enough to see him too

 

[Shadey]

Poor first half but I’m sure we’ll put it to bed in the second.

 

[tomasjj]

New lad? He's been here two years.

two games more like
after injury

 

[Markeh]

I don't think keita has been that bad but imo against a team like this we're looking for something different from the 3rd man in center mid. They're all a bit samey where we'd hope keita might be able to create something. That's why I can see ox being given the chance now.

 

[Farkmaster]

I think its pretty funny to blame an individual player when this game is sort of just what our play looks like when we aren't playing well, regardless of personnel.

Everyone says our fullbacks play like wingers... yeah, in terms of crossing and using space, not in terms of intricate attacking play. We generally grind on a team. Hopefully they will be more tired and we'll take some smarter risks and stop the pointless ones.

 

[Mojo]

Weren't City supposed to soften these guys up for us?
They seem well up for it

 

[Halmeister]

You're chatting beans. And I've been one of Keita's biggest defenders. But he's been poo.

 

[tomasjj]

Frimino needs to get involved more, Salah too, after a bright start.
Keita was involved in our goal, but needs to take more risks closer to their box.
Gomez sloppy a couple of times.
Robertson is terribly one footed, which makes him so predictable in possession.
Mane wants to make something happen, but we are all too eager and impatient.

Like someone wrote - we play like the next goal wins it, when we should just pass it more around their box and wait for the opening.
We are forcing it too much.
