Liverpool (H, FAC R3 Replay) 17/1: Build-Up & Match Thread

[Dire Wolf]

Jonny has been flat out garbage. A few others have been awful too. Hodge is a ghost.

 

[The Bear]

Just seen their goal. All our back line doing their best Roger Johnson impression backing and backing off.

 

[prawnking]

Absolute shite. All the righteous anger and posturing at the bullshit of the original game and then we deliver that 45 mins. Jesus

 

[The Bion]

RAN is 100% a winger now, IMO.

Still not sure I understand this tbh. RAN is a better defender than Bueno. Bueno is far better at crossing than RAN. If anything I'd think it should be the other way round?

I'mma need a citation on this one, mate.

 

[Del Woppio]

Having looked again, yeah that's wank from Sa

 

[WsWolf]

I'mma need a citation on this one, mate.

I think he is aswell.

 

[Tyrannosaurus Dan]

Christ the replay of the goal looks even worse than I thought. Dreadful goalkeeping.

 

[prawnking]

Yeah, but we're not going to win the game 0-0. Again absolutely clueless going forward

 

[Carsy]

Nunes on at half time for hodge. Maybe cunha for Moutinho . 442 with cunha off Raul for me

 

[Loki]

What was Julen scribbling in his notebook?

"Jeff, I need more money".

 

[Jeb01]

We’re poor. No focal point to our attacks, not that we get the ball into their box often enough.
Some good approach play but we never look like scoring.
Changes at half time please.

 

[Carrotdude]

Personally think RAN isn’t a great defender at all, he got out paced by 45 year old James Milner in the first half here as well

 

[Alan]

When we weren't playing a 5 we didn't look that bad.

I must be watching a different game.

 

[sycophantia]

Disappointing half. All the defence backing off and then Sa, wtf?.
We look terrible with a back 3, improved a bit when we went back to a 4.
This half showing why Lembikisa, Hodge aren't quite ready yet.
Only one behind though, time to call for the cavalry.
I'm no conspiracy theorist but multiple fouls stopping us in the final third, not even a warning, one clumsy challenge from Adama, yellow card!

We were horrific Alan

I mean I could just ask you to prove otherwise?

Opinions, everyone has them.

If pace was the sole determining factor of a good defender Adama would have been the new Maldini.

People seem to have very short memories. Wasn't that long ago RAN completely handled Salah while he was in his pomp.

 

[Alan]

We were horrific Alan

Horrific would be down 0-3, IMO.

We were okay in a 4-3-3. Bad in a 5-3-2.

Liverpool haven't been very good, either. This match is there for us if we get the HT adjustments right.

 

[lupollet2]

so far tonight i’ve learned Matheus is going to Liverpool whatever happens, Joao Gomes is going to Lyon and we have a lot of bad players.

 

[EpsomWolf]

Bully saying go 3-5-2
