The actual footy is back on! (v Arsenal)

[Modo]

Williams Isolated, not much he could do there

Gave Aubameyang too much space.

 

[keniget]

Not played too well since conceding.

 

[Modo]

Great save by Becker

 

[gkmacca]

Our playing out from the back is too slow and too predictable. It was the same in the last third of last season. We really need to shake that up.

 

[keniget]

Our midfield is too pedestrian.

 

[Modo]

Our midfield is too pedestrian.

Yeah I was surprised to see that Keita was excluded.

 

[Hansern]

Williams has been poor, we’re missing Trent.

 

[mark1975]

Very flat, its a poor midfield.

 

[SummerOnions]

The pitch is slow also, which means our passing and play slows as a result

 

[Modo]

Yeah, I'm just about ready to sub Neco for Keita. Move Milner to right back.

 

[MomoWASright]

We just can’t get Salah on the ball. It’s still all too slow and we are making it easy for them to break.

Our Achilles' heel is playing against back 5s, I guess.

 

[SummerOnions]

Nah, he's gotta learn and if it's not Williams, we need someone who isn't Milner. I remember Trent not being amazing at defending when he first got games. Williams needs time, and to be fair to him he was left alone more than he should have been.

LOL Was just about to post the same words 🙂

We get decent crosses from Milner though.

 

[MomoWASright]

That could’ve been a pen. We step it up and look dangerous again.

 

[Modo]

Great play by Neco there.

 

[Modo]

Is it just me or does Tsimikas look like Adam Sandler?

 

[ibromurph]

Don't think Williams is ready yet. We really should bring in some cover. Maybe another CB to at least give us the option of playing Gomez at RB.​

 

[gkmacca]

They may as well announce the destination of our passes via the PA system, like flights at the airport.

 

[MomoWASright]

Salah has done a few diagonal through balls. One to Mané and just then to Robertson.

 

[MomoWASright]

We have looked better the last 8-10 minutes.

 

[Hansern]

Deserve a goal now, been much better the last 15 mins

 

[Modo]

Wow that was close. Mane should have scored there

 

[Modo]

Ouch Mané

 

[Donavan Ried]

The room that Aubameyang has out wide is almost criminal

 

[Hansern]

Soft free kick again

 

[mark1975]

Considering we are meant to be ahead of Arsenal in fitness, its not showing. This team has looked flat for a while now, we need a few additions and if the owners are being minge bags after winning the title, they need fucking shooting.

 

[ibromurph]

Klopp will look to protect Williams by claiming he should have inside/cover support and whilst that's true, as a full back you are sometimes left in a 1 v 1 situation and you need to be able to defend it at the top level a lot better than that. He should have delayed Aubameyang and made him make the most difficult decision, which was to go on the outside, not cut inside on his favoured foot and have a free shot at goal.

 

[Halmeister]

Missed most of this through being out and then having a shit stream...

Is it as bad as glimpses I've caught?
