Monterrey v Liverpool - Match Thread - Club World Cup

[manwithnoname]

Origi in a welly boots moment

 

[Milk and Kebabs]

1-1 at half time is far from ideal, but we do tend to improve as games progress so it's not the end of the world.

Perhaps bring on Firmino and TAA in second half? Create more chances.

 

[hmmmmm1]

Bar Salah, keita and Alison, the rest are playing like they only have to turn up.

For the monty team it’s the cup final. We need to show more fight. Poor first half. Lucky to have only drawing

 

[lfc.eddie]

There's a reason why Origi never given the chance to start many matches and this is one of the reason behind it. Did nothing to note in the entire half, losing possession more than anyone and hardly played the way we know he could.

 

[hmmmmm1]

Get mane or frim on if things don’t improve in the first 10 mins of 2nd half

 

[manwithnoname]

Mane would deffo improve things, yeah

 

[ibromurph]

Origi never plays well with Salah in the team. Salah makes runs into the same spaces Origi wants to. Plus Salah looks to drive inside and link with a false 9. Origi is never there.

As for their goal. Obviously without VVD or a recognised CB leader, we're always going to struggle at set pieces.

 

[Raz]

Lallana makes me fucking angry he gets to play for us. Such a shit player.

 

[LeTallecWiz]

Gomez was ok overall no? I think one potential error that Milner cleaned up.

 

[Donavan Ried]

Missing Lovren, Matip and VVD are massive misses for us, and what makes it worse is no Fab' to step in and play CB.

Origi is the poorest player on the pitch. Virtually every time he makes a challenge it results in a foul...
We have to see Origi or Shaqiri subbed for Mane witch will help pin back Pazon and create more chances for us

 

[Frogfish]

We should be walking this - it's so easy to pass through their defence. Despite the obvious weakness of Hendo at CB it's midfield where we need to pick it up. Bar the last 10 mins Ox has been shite and Shaq. invisible.

Bring on TAA and push Milner into midfield whilst swapping Origi for Mane.

 

[Raz]

So, if we lose this do we still get to the final?

 

[Frogfish]

Oh and don't even put a hand on any of their players .. it will result in a Neymar-like dive and holding of the face.

 

[LeTallecWiz]

So, if we lose this do we still get to the final?

No 3rd/4th place game.

 

[Frogfish]

No 3rd/4th place game.

WTF Wiz?!

 

[Markeh]

Why’s this guy doing an interview from his spare room

 

[mom]

Mané on second half with 30 to go for Origi. Maybe Trent too. That’ll be more than enough creativity and finishing ability to score a couple when they’re gassed. It’s the other end that concerns me.

 

[Hansern]

Their manager looks like he’s promoting nightclubs, and then does a bit of footy on the side.

 

[FoxForceFive]

Was eating tea there, but watching on tablet the end of the second half.

Salah, Keita & Allison played well, the rest really didn't. Lallana wasn't all bad but I'm not buying him in the no 6 position, & as Danny Murphy seems to think he was born to play there, that backs me up, cos he knows fuck all.

These will defo get more chances, but we should get more, & we should be capable of scoring more too.

If we get through, be it by just one goal, with no injuries, I'll be happy

Tin vickery. The bloke who said Lucas was the second coming when we signed him

 

[manwithnoname]

Tin Vickery. Hahaha. Like it.

 

[FoxForceFive]

What a save.

 

[manwithnoname]

Another good save from the big man

 

[Shadey]

Becker is awesome

 

[LeTallecWiz]

WTF Wiz?!

Not sure what I did wrong sir ...

 

[manwithnoname]

What a dreadful pass from Shaqiri

 

[Athens]

The ref sharing a joke with the Monterey players there.

Why’s this guy doing an interview from his spare room

The famous South American Correspondent, Tim 'Lucas is a big, powerful, box-to-box midfielder' Vickery.

 

[Whaddapie]

Wow! We really, really do have the best keeper in the world, don't we?

 

[Milk and Kebabs]

Hey!

No one bash Lucas, I like Lucas.
