Madrid (A) 15/03/23

[LeTallecWiz]

5-2 was not flattering and they could have been 3 or 4 up already tonight.

we had a 3 v 2 and up 2-0 ... finish that off (Bajetic mistake) and we win the game comfortably.
5-2 was extremely flattering, even XGA highlighted that.

 

[Halmeister]

City. Then win the following three.

We're getting tonked by City. By 3 or 4 goals. Because the Etihad doesn't have an L postcode.

 

[ibromurph]

City. Then win the following three.

I pray Diaz comes back fit and firing after the international break (unlikely).

It's our only hope of getting any balance into this team.

Diaz is gonna rinse them.

 

[LeTallecWiz]

Klopp completely fucked us.

We started to get some success from gakpo as the 9. Let's change that.
Nunez our only outlet and willing runner? Let's sub him
Jota has been completely off the pace since before his injury (nearly a year now)? Let him lead the line.

So many glaring mistakes.

The midfield is fucked but we knew that. Shame klopp didn't last summer.

His comments on our great midfield still 'sticks out' - he should be given a lovely kitty for needing to speak that way.

 

[Halmeister]

Diaz is gonna rinse them.

He's finished. And won't be fit anyway.

 

[Fabio]

I think it'll only be by 1, maybe 2; but it will be such a dominant performance that'll it'll feel worse than getting gaped

 

[LeTallecWiz]

Not 100% sure what Ox has done to deserve 15 minutes, but maybe a "Good Bye" present from Klopp? Surely he has no future at this level ...

 

[dee]

Klopp has been shite here. Awful decision to take off Nunez (our only outlet) and Milner. Midfield is non existent, defence is fucked and stretched all over the place, while Trent strolls around pointing at other players while barely able to complete a pass with any conviction. Season is over, time to fuck off the dross and have a serious think about the futures of the likes of Trent, Fabinho, Jota and a few others.

_if_ ... _IF_ Klopp was thinking "give it a go for 45 mins and if we get a couple then really go for it second half, but if we are getting nowhere then settle for a dull result and focus on top 4" then I think you'd be hard pressed to argue.

 

[binomial]

We foul an awful lot.

 

[MaBigTip]

At least Diaz would excite us when on the ball... Its mostly bland and predictable play now... such a massive drop off over a few seasons.

God forbid you have bad thoughts, you know, like a change in management might be a good thing!
This team is a mess. A fucking mess.

TBF what has anyone on the bench done to deserve 15 minutes? Least it wasn't keita. Ox gets his CL farewell

 

[mom]

Diaz will make no difference to our results. He is different too but no more effective than Nunez.

We
Have
No
Midfield

you can’t play MADRID away and start with Milner and expect to win. And to be fair to Milner, Fabs is not much better. I’d sell him and reinvest. He’s been a shadow of himself this season.

 

[Holle]

His comments on our great midfield still 'sticks out' - he should be given a lovely kitty for needing to speak that way.

He'd spend it on Minamino Mk 2 instead of a midfielder.

I'm under no illusion we need a major overhaul, however I'd rather klopp be given the chance to do it. If by the end of next season it's the same, then yeah. I'd probably agree

We were saying the same about Jota tbf

 

[dee]

TBH the only thing bothering me tonight is another indifferent performance from Virgil

Agree with the sentiment....but We gave it a go for 45 minutes?

 

[jan]

It's not saying much but I thought he was one of our better outfield players

 

[binomial]

Jesus, just put us out our misery and blow the whistle ref ffs.

 

[Fabio]

He's done. He's only going to get worse.

I really don't understand how he cannot see simple things times ...
Oh well, hopefully with better quality next year, it won't be as problematic ... but blind spots do that to you.

 

[Delinquent]

I know he's the least of our troubles, but I really can't stand AOC. He's such a monumentally shit footballer.

 

[Raz]

We have needed a new midfield for 2 years now. Klopp said it was OK and spent 100m on 2 forwards. It will be the same next season.

 

[Halmeister]

He's done. He's only going to get worse.

But but but Thiago Silva is still playing at a good level. Maldini was 40 odd! Therefore we've got 10 more years of top class Virgil!

 

[dee]

Well fuck me

Ref telling VAR to fuck off for a stupid waste of time

 

[Fabio]

If it is, then I'll agree with you.

Delusion. He kept praising and talking up his players to an extent where he genuinely seems to believe they're this great.

 

[Fabio]

Virgil probably could tbh. But just like if you played maldini or Silva in a high line, they'll get bent over.

We cannot play a high line with anyone over 28 I reckon
