Pre Match: Brentford v. Liverpool, 1730 UTC, Monday 02 January 2023 (Premier League)

Controversial take: not a good idea to let Wissa score on every corner!

Brentford miles better. We’re a shitshow.

I can’t remember a press in this game, let alone one that has actually won the ball. I can’t think of a position on the field that is convincing.

As I am typing this, we give the ball away again, passing terrible even though the accuracy is 86%. That 14% that have gone awry have happened at the absolute worst time.

Amazed we have kept it to only 2 down.

If it was 3 or 4 we couldnt complain

Not me, Joel is our no 1.

We are nothing if not gentlemen

Has no pace
Can shoot but never does.
His passing selection is basic at best.
Doesn’t really offer anything by way of running in behind.
Physically as light as a feather.

That’s even before we get into his defensive frailties.

We can defend NĂșñez until we see blue in the face but a striker can not keep missing chances he does time after time

Best again of the midfield, which isn’t saying much. Elliot is clueless there. He needs to learn his craft in the midfield by coming off the bench for minutes, not starting week in week out.

We will definitely lose this game If the whining level in this thread doesn’t pickup.

We look done again.

No intensity, no gameplan.

Not sure where the pickup is going to come from

Trent is the deepest and needs to communicate, question is does he as with what you said, which is true suggests not. It doesn’t help that our midfielders on many occasions let their man run in without marking or again passing on info.

Well that was a bit ragged. Not sure where Klopp goes from here. Jones for Ox?

Given that he only really has the two forwards, maybe a 4-4-2 might work better.

I know it’s a hypothetical but if Darwin has a bit of composure and vision and just delays hitting the shot until Mee falls over of chips it over him it’s a different game

Makes me wonder what the bulk of the team did during the world cup.

My goal now is to find comfort in others’ smart posts. I appreciate the help everyone.

He needs to find the net and quick.
Weve lost manes pressing and goals

We need to get the ball to him.

Nunez was the least of our problems imo. Defending would be good for example.

Yes, I also cannot believe he did not teleport the ball through the defender.
