Liverpool vs Atalanta: Europa League, QF-first-leg, Thursday, April 11, 20:00 Hrs

:+1:. I donā€™t get the ā€˜thin edge of the wedgeā€™ argument either. Inflation exists. Prices will go up. And ours have been kept well below inflation

Now letā€™s sub all of the starters with our bench and we can win this comfortably

They havenā€™t created down our right or had heaps of space there, it is just down the left

Just slow everywhere, except Gakpo.

I suspect that a few young men with red football jerseys are about to be shouted at by an angry German man.

It wouldnā€™t surprise me to see a couple of half time substitutions.

Also, how big are those Atatanta players? They seem to dwarf us. Elliott looks like a toddler.

Twice Harveyā€™s been caught napping and theyā€™ve created 2 chances from it.

I donā€™t want to isolate him because heā€™s far from the only one, but Kostas Tsimikas has been conspicuously poor. I think he goes this Summer tbh. Unclear what he contributes anymore.

i would throw in dom in place of jonesā€¦ we need someone to quicken the pace in the middle. tsimikas needs to head to the showers

Curtis is gone

Seems a deliberate attempt to force us to play long balls. Their defense is adept at handling those.

Itā€™s a tactical issue that needs fixing.

Get Dom on , he is probably a bit more quicker to the ball.

One of Gakpo/Nunez needs to go , Gakpoā€™s had a decent game but Nunez has the physicality to challenge the defenders.

But Szobo got a lot of shit in the Manure game, he is the only one with pace who breaks the lines, Jones has been too slow in moving with the ball in possession

Really arrogant performance.
Lazy, sloppy and playing like we will stroll to final.

That saidā€¦the 6 changes havenā€™t worked.

Iā€™d take out Elliot as well at this point. Get in Gravenberch and Dom in place of Elliot and Jones.

Jones hasnā€™t played for a while and his lack of gametime isnā€™t helping him making decisions quicker.

294 passes that half. 191 in our own half.

Atalanta have come to play football, we havenā€™t.
The team need a kick up the backside by JĆ¼rgen.

I have just seen their 1st chance, I missed the 1st 5 mins, he was caught in possession not out of position, but other than that he is a forward and our right side defenders have mostly been in position , where our left has been wide open

Heā€™s played the minutes equivalent of less than three games since the start of the year for us, not really a surprise that heā€™s dropped into a game against a good opponent like this and looks out of sorts.

not a lot of options besides domā€¦ its not just jones, even gomez is holding onto it far too longā€¦right now the pace is far too comfortable for atalanta

Thereā€™s out and sorts and then whatever the hell that was. Looks like heā€™s not played a game of football in about a decade lol

when does jones EVER make decisons quicker?
