What a dreadful pass from Shaqiri

You could have written this post at anytime during this match & it wouldn't have been wrong.

No 3rd/4th place game.

[Halmeister]

We need to match their cheaty, divey histrionics.

 

[Holle]

Time to bring Mane on

 

[doctor_mac]

Does this go straight to penos?

 

[Holle]

Fuck off Lallana

 

[FoxForceFive]

Hey!

No one bash Lucas, I like Lucas.

So do I, now I don't have to watch him play for us anymore.

 

[Raz]

It’s a good job we are taking this lot lightly.

 

[Raz]

Lallana ooozes creativity

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

I think that may have been a fair description of Lucas before Benitez got hold of him, clipped his wings and forbade him from crossing the halfway line.

He really is a new guy, isn't he?

 

[Atlas]

Not happening for Origi on the right, a few too many heavy touches.
Kinda feel the same with Salah he's trying to take on 3 players in the box a bit too often and getting crowded out or pushed away.
Naby has been decent bringing the ball forward.
Players are getting fouled and kicked a bit more than normal I think
Hopefully mane for Shaq and play either side of Origi might change things

This side under klopp has always struggled in hotter climates. I've mentioned it before, but we've never played even close to our best when dealing with the heat.

I know it's not boiling, but it's hotter than usual, as evidenced by the amount of sweat pouring off the players.

 

[FoxForceFive]

Brilliant run from Keita, decent enough shot, but keeper saved.

 

[FoxForceFive]

Gomez lucky to get a booking instead of a red there.

 

[hmmmmm1]

So poor from Gomez, at least he made the foul and stopped play

If we only had a couple of Africans or Brazilians.

No mate, it was never a fair description.

 

[manwithnoname]

Is Gomez totally incapable of tracking the flight of a ball that goes over his head?

It's almost hilarious

That looping high ball that he always loses sight of in the air & misjudges. I don't think he'll ever get that right.

It's not the players ability to deal with the slighter higher temperatures, it's the effect it has on our pressing game & that intensity we usually play with.

 

[LeTallecWiz]

Keita touches me, I dive!

 

[HC]

Too many changes , klopps taken this too lightly if he actually plans on us making the final

 

[Whaddapie]

Jayzus lads... That was a red card. We were blessed.

Shaq and Divock have been brutal.

 

[FoxForceFive]

Just the three players offside there.

 

[Milk and Kebabs]

It's a little odd... As much time as Gomez has spent injured that he's now our only CB who ISN'T injured. (Or sick)

In hotter climates we can’t run as much and press. We need to rely on technical qualities in the middle of the park, which we don’t have. Then add in no taa and and we will struggle for creativity

FFS, there's half an hour left yet lad.

The third place final would have all the disadvantages of an extra game without the possibility of a trophy.
