75% of the team is a disgrace at the minute. Trent needs benching for a few matches at least - he’s been one of our worst players so far this season along with Henderson, Fabinho, Bobby, Mo, Robbo, and let’s face it - VVD.
I can’t tell if some of these guys are carrying injuries or just short of fitness for whatever reason, but to my untrained eye it looks like there’s an overwhelming lack of effort from this Liverpool team on the pitch. We’re being consistently outworked aside from the match against Bournemouth.
Reverting back to the issues with the Man Utd game. Injury time in the first half, yet Bobby is positioned between Gomez and VVD. Salah is still hugging the right-hand touch-line.
Wish FSG didn’t have to come last week. Came to one game seen a 9-0 then probably were like our midfield looks fine to me. Now won’t be watching out games until we get to a final or if we ever do
Henderson is not a fucking left midfielder, the ball goes to him, he either passes it backwards or turns around and passes it backwards, or turns forward and floats the ball to no-one. I love the guy but hes massively exposed.
Frustrating half. We probed away, had lots of possession, eight corners, but not nearly enough clear chances.
Newcastle had their new man up top, who was gifted a clear opening, stemming from Trent’s awful cross field pass.
Newcastle have been shithouses too. Leaving their foot in a bit, grappling our players on corners, wasting time, going to ground, feigning injury, it has all been there.
Mind you, if you are pissed off with the opposition, it’s a clear sign they are doing their job. Mariner is also letting them do it, so why wouldn’t they?
Don’t want to go through the whole team, but Mo looks to have lost half a yard of pace, and he is taking too many touches and dribbling into the defender.
On the bright side you Harvey Elliott has been our best player. He looks to have a good future ahead of him.
