It's taken Leicester 35 minutes to wake up.
Premier League Festive Season
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Liverpool are a class outfit but they do seem that very small little bit short of the team they were a couple of years ago, which may not be enough to topple City this year.
No worries.
It'll last 5mns and they'll revert to type. Their organisation is dreadful and they have too many first teamers out. Liverpool are gonna smash them in the second half, it's inevitable, even though they're far from great this evening.
Liverpool are really boring. Waitrose Sam Allardyce football.
That’s how I’ve felt recently. We’re good but not Guardiola good. We should be beating this Leicester team if we’re serious about keeping up with City.
We’ve lacked the ruthlessness City showed two days ago.
Christ, Henderson must have been having some brilliant dreams.
People will slate me but I still Rodgers gets more out of what he has. They are having a poor season this year but they’ve had a lot of injuries.
Henderson - Scholes he isn’t.
Henderson loves a shot. He must know spidey cam is in use.
3 terrible volleys in this half. Love his look after it, like he's surprised it didn't go in
No way you're not winning this, but your front 3 are a bit meh tonight.
How is that not a yellow for Matip? He should be off, that shit is so dangerous
Jesus thought Icheanacho broke his neck there. Very lucky.
that's a foul on matip for backing under him
The Harry Kane special
Yeah, isn't this what Kane was getting some heat for last season? I didn't see the replay, but I thought Matip was backing up into him.
That is so dangerous from
Matip. Straight from the Harry Kane playbook that.
Matip. Straight from the Harry Kane playbook that.
Dirty bastard. Scummy club.
Should be a red every time.
So when’s Liverpool going to ruin our night I’ll say 79 minute..
Newcastle have Covid
That's convenient timing considering the injuries they just got....
Origi or Minamino
It's always the shitters who bail them out.
Well, it used to be our poorer players under SAF too
Need Klopp to leave the Premier League and Pep too
I think Henderson would get a lot more credit if he didn't have such a smug punchable face.
Wait and see the Burnley match be cancelled..
I think you need some more attackers (better than Minamino calibre). City rotate theirs heavily and you guys always play the same 3. The biggest issue is that Mane's god tier touch has gone, which leaves too much of the burden on Salah. Personally someone like St-Maximin to stretch play one on one would go perfectly for you, it's what Mane used to do once upon a time.
Origi guaranteed..Origi or Minamino
It's always the shitters who bail them out.
Well, it used to be our poorer players under SAF too
Need Klopp to leave the Premier League and Pep too
If that isn't deliberately dangerous play, I don't know what is. Disgraceful stuff really.
Origi, 89th minute
Anyone else listening to only the Stadium sound with the commentary off? So much more enjoyable.
Matip doesn't even try to jump
Yeah agree with that, small margins really. Liverpool probably in 85-90 range. Man. City are 90-95 points margin and they're pretty much doing what they did last year, putting together formidable run at this time of the year to pull away from chasing pack.
Ok, can you name a stronger backline out of the players we have available?
And that penalty. Feckin hell. Someone breathes on Salah and he goes down as if a rhino hit him from behind
Even more shockingly, Liverpool ended up getting the free kick in their favour.
If he hadn't taken half an hour waiting for contact he might not have even needed the penalty to score.
I reckon he's thinking "this is one of the few formations we can actually play with the personnel available". I think that's what he's thinking.
We have a midfield of Choudhury, Soumare and Dewsbury-Hall, ffs. We played two days ago (against Man City), whereas Liverpool haven't played since they last played us in the cup (where they rested most of their players anyway). What are people actually expecting from this game?
Liverpool normally batter us even with our full strength squad. With all things considered, If we only lose by 2 goals, then we've massively exceeded my expectations.
He goes looking for it every time.
