Should have won? Agree mate ...
But they have so much quality on the ball with pace etc ... we don't have that like them ...
Yeah, at various times this season one of the other strikers has chipped in with a bit of a streak. Right now that's not the cases. Gakpos injury ended his purple patch. Right now they are all off form. Szobo made up some of the difference.
I don't give a fuck about any of this, just win the league. If we had scraped through, I'm not sure how we'd manage.
As it stands I'm glad we don't have another league came till April
We play 3 strikers up front and 34, he’s carried us. Seriously, it’s team game and rest need to step up. If he hadn’t scored, we would missed every single pen. Soon as Trent and Macca went off, I thought we are fcked in Pens against Donna. It is what it is.
If you're the man, you carry the burden.
Mo may think it's post afcon ... we need him back on form ASAP.
And fitness. They had the luxury of resting their first eleven this weekend (still winning 4-1 in their shit league). It showed in extra time.
We deserved an equalizer in the 2nd half were we played well.
Ah well, the CL was a bonus. It’s nigh on impossible without oil money to win a CL and PL double.
That's been obvious for years. Diaz is nowhere near that level and is as weak as a newborn foal, and Gakpo doesn't have the drive or strength of will that mane had
Our midfield collapsed when Macca was subbed. That's why I keep saying that we need to find someone better than Jones.
It got even worse when Szobo went off.
Nope ... proper big game player he was.
Oh please. Every time pks are lost there's an inquest.
He was the only one ever looking least effective, did you miss our current league position? He can’t keep doing it.
Do you want me to judge him like I judge the others, or like our best player who wants to challenge for the Ballon d'or? He has been poor in the last 3 games bar 3 excellent penalties ... if you think he's been great, ok.
There was clearly no plan. One of Klopp’s hallmarks was a plan. We even hired penalty fecking psychologists. Won us two trophies in 2022. Winning margins are super thin. Penalty planning is what the best clubs do.
Picking Darwin is the fecking opposite of planning.
Macca is the brains and the conductor.
Ll
Never replaced Bobby either.
Judge him fairly. Simple.
I'm still mad at Slot letting Nuñez take a pen
Probably the worst decision of his managerial career so far that
Yeah I know, it is obvious.
I was watching highlights of the 2018 game against PSG. Mane was immense.
My point with mentioning Mane isn't that I miss him specifically. I just miss having a second option up front.
Back in the day we had:
Collymore-Fowler
Owen-Fowler
Owen-Gerrard
Gerrard-Torres
Suarez-Sturridge
Sadio-Salah
Mane was the best LW since Barnes but I never saw him in his prime so Mane was the best for me but this is the point, assumption is we will replace our famous 3. We haven’t replaced one yet so far.
Ideally that's fixed in the summer with a new 9
I judge him like I would judge Stevie... best player who we need most in big games ... that is being fair.
He was below averahe for me tonight - lost possession too many times and poor final ball, bar one great shot which was cleared off the line. It sucks, but dips in form do happen and hopefully he snaps out of it quick enough to break a few more records and get 2 medals.
