Villareal v Liverpool Europa League Semi Final 1st Leg

I didn't choose the team dude, I'm just positing a theory as to why Klopp did select this team.

I think sturridge actually does do a fair bit of work, but he doesn't, shouldn't ever be getting stuck in in our half regularly cos then he couldn't do what he does best.

Klopp obviously wants that extra energy doing defensive work tonight.

He's won the ball back several times already. Thats what Klopps wants in the first leg of this semi final I guess. Defend from the front. Origi would have started if he was fit mind.

Missing both him and Can.

Chances are falling in and around their box, they don't look as great as I expected, get Sturridge on and capitalise on it.

Firmino is all over the place and not in a good way.
But let's look at the positives.
We still haven't conceded and we've had a lot of possession.
That's about it.
0-0 is a fair score atm.
We've only had one clear cut chance. Allen should have scored.
HT ratings:
Ming 7
Clyne 7
Kolo 8
Lovren 7
Moreno 6
Lucas 7
Allen 6
Milner 6
Coutinho 6
Lallana 6
Firmino 5

Replays of that Joe Allen chance. What a mediocre shithouse he is.

This team are nowhere near as good as Dortmund. We need to trying to score here, not contain these knobheads.

Sturridge must come on

 

[Skullflower]

I fucking hate joe allen.

Lucas hasn't even touched the ball seven times

They defend very well as expected though.

[Markeh]

think we're showing them too much respect

 

[manwithnoname]

think we're showing them too much respect

Or simply not playing well with a poor team selection that Klopp needs to fix before we concede, at which point he will.

We can't defend or hold leads, home or away, so we need to score

[KopRed]

Ibe?

 

[SummerOnions]

We aren't a team that can play for 0-0 because we always do something stupid. Sturridge will come on at 65' and we'll score

This stream is epic btw.

Ibe 😱

 

[Markeh]

for Coutinho 😱

 

[manwithnoname]

Ibe?

I would happily see anyone come on who can actually run

Ibe on for Coutinho. Should be Firmino, can only be an injury otherwise Klopp is mental

[FoxForceFive]

Countinho must be injured. Fuck. Let's hope it's not serious.

 

[Mystic]

Coutinho? We don't want that scout being impressed!

 

[manwithnoname]

Suarez leaves Lucas totally for dead.

 

[JurgenKlopp]

Close

 

[Skullflower]

fuck you Barcelona rep. go the fuck home.

 

[Modo]

Definitely an injury, probably a precaution

 

[Mystic]

Suarez is great, our defending there wasn't.

 

[FoxForceFive]

Countinho isn't in the bench watching.

 

[manwithnoname]

fuck you Barcelona rep. go the fuck home.

He may as well, who the fuck else is he going to bother watching? Allen? Firmino?
