Liverpool (H) 28/9: Build-Up & Match Thread

[Dire Wolf]

We are laughably shit.

 

[Wellen Wolf]

No way we get that penalty. And they tried to find a problem with our goal. Corrupt as fuck.

 

[Templeton Peck]

Soft pen

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Depends how you define “playing well” I suppose.

Personally I prefer to win.

Oh god.

 

[Alan]

Can't blame the manager for that. Not if you're a reasonable person anyway.

I don’t think it’s that difficult an argument to make tbh.

 

[Alan]

Oh god.

Very convincing!

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

I don’t think it’s that difficult an argument to make tbh.

Like I said...

 

[Wellen Wolf]

Always the same against Liverpool.

 

[Langers]

It was a penalty. Don't put your arm round someone's shoulders in the penalty area, don't give the ref a decision to make.

Stupid from Semedo.

 

[Alan]

Like I said...

You and your Forum Nemesis have more in common than you realize methinks.

 

[jd1981]

When you’ve got to score 3 to win a game you’ve got a big problem.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

So mental strength isn't mentioned when we pull a goal back (from chasing a lost cause)

But it is when we concede?

Mmm.

 

[The Bear]

I'd be thinking about putting Guedes on for Larsen. Give the defenders something different to adapt to.

Larsen has been poor and uninvolved this half any way.

 

[Langers]

When you’ve got to score 3 to win a game you’ve got a big problem.

Especially when you barely ever score 3 in a game

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

It's realise not realize

 

[NicholasG1973]

Let’s not get it twisted, either.

This is probably as bad as you’ll see Liverpool this season.

 

[Alan]

Mmm.

Context innit. The mental strength to pull back the equalizer is completely and utterly void when you concede again within 5 minutes.

Along similar lines of reasoning as my thoughts on playing well vs winning.

 

[The Bear]

As an aside I've been pretty happy with how Bueno and Toti have done together. Albeit Toti got done slightly for the first goal.

 

[James]

That would mean Gaz would have a plan B. Don't talk silly

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Personally I prefer to win.

I prefer us to win as well.

However if we are going to lose, I'd prefer it to be with some hope, some periods of good play that we can build on rather than being just fucking awful like we were so regularly under Lage, Connor etc.

You're disagreeing with that?

I didn't think it was that difficult an argument to make...
