Liverpool (H) 16/9: Build-Up & Match Thread

[Wolftone]

Here we go. Oliver cheating.

 

[Freddeno]

We need to step it up..higher pressuer..win the ball etc..

 

[Templeton Peck]

Oliver bottled that completely

 

[Alan]

Y’all acting like we wouldn’t have fucked it up somehow anyway

 

[Jack Regan]

And how do you suggest we do that when Liverpool have 43 forward players on and we don't have a feasible RM/RW option?

You adapt your system to cope with it, which he's tried and its clearly having zero effect. I'd suggest that shoehorning a player into a position he can't play (evidenced multiple times for Ireland) is akin to not changing it at all.

 

[Jinky]

The subs have been awful.

 

[Jinky]

Doyle and Traore coming on. No Sasa today then.

 

[The Bear]

Doyle and Bouba coming on.

Probably for Gomes and JR.

 

[WsWolf]

I have no idea what subs people expect him to make when the game is poised as it is and Liverpool have so many attacking players on the pitch? Us bringing on another attacking player would just open us up more.

Think it's O'Neils fault because he hasn't convinced Mbappe to come and sit on our bench.

 

[Wolftone]

Oh no Traore coming on. Free kicks a go-go for them.

 

[Freddeno]

Keep the ball, pass it to eachother..otherwise cramps, xahsing the ball..come on

 

[Jeb01]

We seem to be waiting for something to happen. Don’t look like scoring. Letting the game slip away.

 

[Alan]

Yep, unless Doyle turns the game on its head, this will put me at Solidly Ambivalent on the GO scale.

We don't have a single wide player on the bench so whoever plays there is out of position.

 

[Jeb01]

So much good play in the first half. It will be a real sickener if we get nothing from the game.

 

[Jack Regan]

We've tired very badly in this which is not a good sign for future games.

Zero impact? We're defending well, no? We've restricted Liverpool to very, very little. A side unbeaten since April.

Now i do anticipate them scoring, but i think we've been excellent today and they would always have a sustained period of possession, given the options we have on the bench i have no idea what you'd have done that would have made a more positive difference. You make out like it's easy.

 

[Alan]

Oh fuck that was going in

This system asks a lot of the CMs. There are ways to rotate effectively but… will we use them?

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Hit his arm, but it's not a penalty.
