Post Match: Liverpool v Brentford (H) - 25.08.2024

[Walshy07]

Agree. The test comes next weekend, then arsenal a few weeks later.

So far weve beaten teams we should be beating if serious title contenders.

I disagree, Redmen TV was started 14 years ago by Paul and his mate Chris Payak (SP?). It was just them talking about Liverpool in what looked like their cellar and interviewing fans outside the ground. They’ve worked hard to build it into a great source of LFC news and analysis.
So he likes to make videos of himself with his mates having fun on the Kop, so what? If you don’t like it don’t watch it.

No one is disputing what you are saying here… I have also watched them from early days, my son even knows one of them.
My point is/was… I don’t bother watching them/him anymore, because the trajectory of what I find/found interesting in their content, is no longer put forward by him/them.
Any successful business will embrace constructive criticism, and ponder if anything can be tweaked to align with a consensus, if it improves them or their product. You have your opinion, I have mine… they differ, so what… no-one at this end is going to lose sleep over it.

Not sure your second post was aimed at me in particular, as the quotes you mentioned were not signed off by me. Will leave it here then, unless of course you have distorted the narrative, to enable inclusion of your snide comment…!

Redmen TV are fine.

They aren’t as entertaining as Goldbridge , Piggy.

[cynicaloldgit]

At least they’re Liverpool fans.

@mattyhurst

He was full of praise for him in the post match.

I don’t doubt he was. Trent still looked dejected and I wonder why.

[RedWhippet]

I saw this posted elsewhere online which I thought was interesting:

Slot tactics in full flow. A 3-2-5 formation in-possession v Brentford. TAA was inverted next to Gravenberch, while Macca moved forward as Liverpool tried to manipulate Brentford’s back 4 with 5 players up front.

This isn’t a million miles away from what Klopp was doing last season, but the idea is that the broad front 5 will overstretch the defense and expose the goal.

He was playing well, maybe wasn’t tired and was subbed.

[sandsoftime]

The problem our players in the squad have had to face with a 60game season, has ended with us running on fumes before bursting through the finishing tape. Any/all rest, for the present day footballer, at any juncture in the calendar marathon, should be viewed as simply a respite that should be welcomed.
Frustrating as it is, having matchday game time cut short, there are other battles that lay in wait, in other matches, that will be crying out for a rested mind, and a fully energetic pair of legs.
Besides, early days for AS, someone demonstrating against one of his decisions, of course he has to nip this in the bud.

I enjoy Redmen TV, especially Chris Pajak when he does the deep dives with Josh Williams.

Pajak knows his footy IMO and he doesn’t always go with the flow of the popular narrative picking on the latest scapegoat

[RedArmada]

Ι’m surprised that lip readers and body language experts have yet to declare that he hates Slot’s guts.

[jgw_geneseo]

Maybe Bradley looks dynamite in training and Slot trusts his defensive instincts a bit more.

[cynicaloldgit]

And there was the look Trent gave Arne in the canteen the other day.

[RER]

And thats got exactly what to do with what is being discussed?

Rolled into a coffee shop in Talkeetna with my Reds beanie. The owner, Brenda from Cork, goes, “Swinging by Alaska on the way to Merseyside, yeah?” My jaw hit the floor. Turned out to be a Red as is her sister.

Bodes well for the quad. Doing yeoman’s work for all of you as always.

This past Thursday, on my way back home to Kilburn from work…see a young man with a black LFC cap like Jurgen used to wear…I point at it and go “That’s my team”. Turns out he’s here from Holland to go to the Anfield match, and with his parents! We had a nice chat about the Ipswich win and how Arne is. His parents were lovely as well!

[koptician]

I trust Conor’s defensive instincts more as well. And he is objectively quicker and faster than Trent. The way he left Malo Gusto for dead last season was stunning! Gusto is no slouch!

@Mascot

Salah looks in the mood again. Sharp and direct, strong in the challenge as well.

That freekick that Salah gave up…he’s had to ride challenges like that so many times and the Brentford lad was already off balance. Refs

[jgw_geneseo]

I’m sorry, wasn’t the conversation about why Trent was subbed?

[Limiescouse]

@jgw_geneseo

Maybe Bradley looks dynamite in training and Slot trusts his defensive instincts a bit more.

Trent had a very short break and limited pre-season. For a player who had some physical issues last season it makes all the sense in the world to build him up slowly over the first month especially when we have someone as good as Bradley on the bench.

Hopefully it is nothing more than that and Trent takes that on board.

@Limiescouse

Hopefully it is nothing more than that and Trent takes that on board.

TBH, I would rather seeing a player pissed off that they had been substituted rather than relieved.

Klopp did seem to have scheduled substitutions around the 60 minute mark and Slot doesn’t appear to be doing that. I’m just wondering whether previously the players knew that they would be switched?
