PreMatch | Liverpool vs Leeds | PL Matchday 14 | Saturday October 30th 19:45h | Anfield

Well, 1-1 half time. I think we will improve second half and win it well.

Gomez didn’t look, overhit back pass, oops, 1-0. So frustrating. Mistakes happen. Regroup, let’s go.

Salah makes it 1-1. Nice finish.

I thought we would turn the tide and add another one or two. We threatened it, and Nunez might have scored with a lifted, clipped left foot finish, instead of trying to turn back on his right.

We had a couple of looks, and so did they, but we go in at half time level.

The team isn’t nearly as solid as we have grown used to in recent seasons, but it is THIS season’s team, which means we are giving up more chances than we might like.

Be that as it may, I expect us to improve and run out winners by two goals.

Darwin Nunez to score too.

Double substitution at half-time.
Fabinho - Henderson
Gomez - Konate

Need the spine of the team functioning to try and get some control.
It’s like a basketball match :man_facepalming:

Do you even watch these incidents or do you decide to defend Gomez regardless?

The whole incident stemmed from Gomez misjudging the throw in.

Your interpretation of Gomez’ mistakes is very odd.

Gomez made the foul because he over committed to winning a header he got no where near and exposed our back line to a counter attack.

Joe does a ton right, but has these moments that undoes it all. Cara doing the right thing but simply not being good enough to play Henry 1-1 is not remotely the same thing.

He’s definitely been all over the place. Needs taking off before he does any more damage.

If Joe not sure put it up in the stand.

Gomez as also covered twice by slowing the opposition on 2 break aways but that is not part of the script

I’m actually looking forward to the World Cup now.

Six weeks of no football.

Transition football, don’t you love it? As we redefine our playing style and build confidence in one of three possible systems… It’s a little frustrating at times, can give us heartache but when it all comes together we look absolutely fine… it’s coming lads

No, he isn’t.

He played a poor ball into the box, if you ignore that Alisson slipped (and I not Alisson apologised)

After that he didn’t put a foot wrong.

Even the free kick at the end. I want my defender taking that free kick all day.

Andy has played well. Been an outlet down the left, assisted, could;ve assisted another, and has the fight in him (that mischievous kicking ball on Leeds player was for Oliver letting an obvious foul go on GOmez just before than calling for a siliar foul on the Leeds player.

Why all the criticism of Gomez? Fab has been much worse?

So you not watching the World Cup.

Marsch has done his prep well and the frequency with which they’re getting in speaks volumes. He should be feeling a lot happier with that performance than he did for 90% of that half. With the exception of Bobby, Mo, Robbo and possibly Thiago, none of our lot has done the job they were put on the pitch to do

No , none of it.

This!

We’ve been drilled to press but now that the press isn’t working (players aging? Lack of fitness?) as a collective we are being exposed individually.

This over defense of players vs over attack is all down to the simple fact this team has regressed horrifically.

How could it be Van Dijk or Alisson’s mistake when the area the ball was played wasn’t somewhere anyone would expect Gomez to play. I love Gomez but that was unnecessary and a look up would have made him either play it back or just clear it. He seems a little off focus to me at times, which wasn’t the case always.

He has a huge task of covering for Trent which the midfielders no longer do, so can cut some slack for him when he’s put under pressure, but not under situations which are unforced errors like today’s.
