Pre Match. CL Group Stage Match One. Liverpool vs Atletico Madrid. Wednesday 9th September 20.00hrs

If you are going to quote a fact get it right we kept clean sheets in match day 7 and 8 last season. We have played 4 games since then 5 including tonight one is the 2nd leg against Galatasary which finished 4 - 0 thats a clean sheet hence the 0.

We are one nil down and making a few mistakes but this is a much better Liverpool side than Slots sloths

Our spacing is not good…

Barcola looks genuinely confused at why they are allowed to foul us and they get free kicks for falling over. Welcome to Liverpool son.

We just need to stop leaving a massive hole in the middle of the pitch.

Half volley is hitting it the same time as it bounces, that one was just after the bounce which increases the difficulty of the finish and is harder to direct.

We need to to better with an equaliser.

A well reasoned response what a tool.

I mean, it’s uneven and all that, and we have some stark and crystal clear problems with individual players (like Kerkez who is just poor, and then there are others who seem to be more systemically damaged by Slot, like Rio; though that can be fixed).

All in all, this has been an ok half thus far. Athletico is the better team and they deserve their lead. But we have tried and you ca see us seeking offensive solutions.
It shouldn’t come as a shock to any of us that we are probably not among the Top 10 best teams in the world anymore. But I think we will be again, and maybe with this manager. Looks promising to me. But oh so early and so much to fix.

Vile little man

More excuses.

Half volley is also immediately after it bounces, like in that shot from Wirtz.

But yes, not that easy.

jus got in… i see the exchange of insults means we probably down a goal or two

I think it’s the formation and the type of midfielders we have on the pitch.

Nope not for me

I like that Rio is being tested at this level.
Atletico are really up for it today.

It’s still early days under the new coach, but I already like the increased verticality compared to last season. And, our players actually look like they’re putting in a proper shift.

BTW the abuse towards our players on the forum seems to be at an all tme high and it’s honestly sad to see. We were incredibly blessed under Klopp and I think we’ve forgotten that these things take time or maybe a lot of people have simply forgotten the days of Markovic and Voronin

Kerkez needs to have a good game soon. Too many now starting to sing the same tune…

I am not convinced by Kerkez, I hope that I am wrong but he just doesn’t give me much confidence. His ability to track back, not good enough, should have stayed with Llorente for the opener.

Is Kerkez really Liverpool quality? This is not the first time we have suffered on the left side.

There are larger chasms in this Liverpool team when they lose the ball than the Grand Canyon.

Started with seeing the team sheet and Barcola being played on the wrong side
