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

He actually gets quite a lot to be fair. This morning I read an article in a Norwegian paper with this statistic of Great chances burned (meaning itā€™s a big chance, not a random shot thatā€™s easy to save)

Of course, he should and could get more, but we must really also hope that he converts far more than previously soon. His runs and ability to get in position is good, his finishing is very sub par for a Top class striker.

If heā€™d gone for the first guy and ball went over his head to the other heā€™d still be getting pelters

It does not look very convincing. Started brightly, Darwin unlucky having rounded the keeper. But we didnā€™t build on it, and Brentford have been worth the lead.

Two goals is very careless. Itā€™s a big hole to climb out of. Doable, but it is a long shot now.

It is tough watching the midfield. We donā€™t have nearly the control we should have.

Yet none of the 4 times theyā€™ve put it in the net have come from that. We are not getting caught with players up the pitch. We have just watched crosses come into the box and not defended them. This is a throw back to the worst of the Rodgers era.

After watching the past two games Gakpo has fired his agent, and is looking for a move from LFC.

Brentford have worked their game plan well. Defend deep then launch direct with runners and create panic on set peices.

Get an early goal, and the momentum can quickly change.

why? Konate and Trent had 3 and they picked up none of them even after Konate pointed one out

Certainly wasnā€™t implying we were good before it.

Surely thereā€™ll be a couple of subs for 2nd half.
Elliott, Ox, Tsimikas all off possibly

On their 2nd goal, Konate obviously points to Wissa indicating for Trent to pick him up, however they have a 2nd runner behindnwhich Trent moves towards and doesnt let Konate know that he has 2 men. Communication seems one of the problems, I would also like to see us stop this high line when there is no pressure on the ball, concede space in front of the defence not behind

This is not a game we should be losing 2-0

Itā€™s not even a collapse of the midfied.

Its about details in defending

Maybe. People do have agendas, but in that case people would have at least been complaining about him doing the right thing and they likely wouldnt have scored.

Our midfield is so bad that we bought a forward.

We look very one dimensional.

We play Elliott instead :grinning:

How they score from this is just laughable
