Post match: Liverpool v Leeds Utd (EPL 29/10/22 7.45pm)

Just come on,it has all been said a lot by now,so further comment from me,at least, is superfluous. To lose to Forest and Leeds like this is hard to digest,especially after beating City the other week.

I kind of thought we had turned it around with the West Ham win as well, grounding out 1-0 wins looked like the way ahead for a time but no.

On reflection the Brighton result was a good performance :confused:

No, there are a few others. And Alisson himself. I think thatā€™s important.

im talking about midfield

What formation would you have us play? Klopp has tried 4-3-3, 4-4-2, 4-5-1, the diamond you name it. Theyā€™re making the same basic mistakes again and again regardless of the formation.

Apart from Alisson, anyone from the senior group who canā€™t produce anymore. Van Dijk and Salah included. Forever grateful for what theyā€™ve achieved on their time at the club but if they canā€™t deliver anymore, I would wish them well and send them on the way. Whatā€™s the point in keeping any of them if this is how theyā€™re going to be playing?

No, itā€™s one Liverpool fan who labels anyone who doesnā€™t agree with his blinkered, narrow-minded opinion an ā€œFSG fanā€. There is no such thing except in your imagination.

it doesnt matter what formation you play if the players constantly makes awful errors.

what worries me is how easy it is to turn us. one minute we are in their box then 5 seconds and 1 or 2 passes and they are in ours. it happens at least 5-8 times a match.

we have no midfield as there are massive gaps and no legs in there. its so easy to walk past Thiago and Fabinho.

The players just look mentally and phsyically drained. everyone who was here last season bar Ali looks like they know every games a struggle and a slog as they are shattered.

the wheels have litrally come off

I am still trying to erase the mental picture of someone ā€œgrapplingā€ with a haemorrhoid.
I may not be able to eat again until the picture fades.

I blamed Ali for it. But standing at 5ā€™3" Iā€™d say that Iā€™m far from big. :nerd_face:

exactlyā€¦

we are really bland in the final thirdā€¦summed up by Bobbys headerā€¦everything was right apart from it needed to go two feet either side of the keeper.

yep, its a shot on targetā€¦people remember the ā€˜saveā€™, but reallyā€¦it was justā€¦meh.

I have often wondered just how many goals Rushie or God would have scored playing in this team over the last five or so years.

They would have shattered all known records.

100% sick to death of reading we had enough chances to win games, yet we never actually win said games. Same as last week, we never really bar a few examples make a keeper work, everything is down their throat.

As Limie said itā€™s not a revelation we are poor at finishing chances, we always were but we had an extremely solid defence so ground out wins with 1 goal etc. now our midfield and defence is Sunday league level so our inability to finish chances regularly is felt much more.

Under Hodgson we were one of the teams in the relegation places.

I donā€™t mind this take from the rich, give to the poor philosophy. But canā€™t we do it differently?

I point this out most games and again yesterday when a poster said we were lucky not to have suffered a much bigger defeat, even when we won title and when we were runners up we created loads of chances but not putting a high percentage away. Leeds keeper was man of the match yesterday.

Iā€™d have saved everything we threw at him yesterday apart from Nunezā€™s curler. Iā€™m 58, overweight and wear glasses.
Our finishing is abysmal and itā€™s why the odd 6,7,9-0 win leaves me frustrated because I know in a weekā€™s time we wont be able to buy a fucking goal.

I know Iā€™m not a football pundit, manager or an in depth football scrutineerā€¦but I always feel that when the ball is in our penalty area we(LFC) panic cause the ref/clown on duty is bound to give a pen against usā€¦and we flail around with our legsā€¦and leave gapsā€¦the ball should be up the other end of the pitch anywayā€¦but I just wonder if thatā€™s what the panic isā€¦we only have to look at the ball in the penaltyā€¦and its a pen to themā€¦I know its a simplistic viewā€¦but is it always in the back of our players mindsā€¦

That would explain the 2nd goal because there were 5 or 6 of our lads who looked terrified to get as much as a block in. It was a truly dreadful goal from our point of view.

Im in my early 60ā€™s and if I could i would challenge Fabinho to a race , i keep fit and i seriously think i would beat him over 100m metres.

Iā€™m under the impression that van Dijk his mission at the moment is not to get injured before the WC.

Canā€™t wait until Christmas and that WC shite is over
