v Liverpool (07/01/23) - FA Cup 3rd Round - Build Up & Match Thread

[The Bear]

Did Gakpo's turn really deserve a super, super slow mo? Fuck off.

Neves' was much better.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

He's been fine.

He has, doesn't mean he's a good footballer though, he's a head it and kick it merchant, which can be fine if he has a good ball player next to him.

 

[Wolvensam]

Toti has been OK to be fair. Hodge too. Neither of them are world beaters but Joe has been tenacious in that midfield

 

[Carsy]

They should show neves turning Fabinho, but we ain’t in the big 6 Bruv

 

[Wolvensam]

Good defending from Toti there

 

[Alan]

*knock on wood*

Considering the forwards he's matched up against, taking a clean sheet into halftime would be something he (and the rest of this makeshift back four) could be rightfully proud of, IMO.

 

[The Bear]

Playing well. Let's hope we don't do a Villa and turn to shit in the 2nd half.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

The two balls AT has played in for Raul should have been converted.

After a very, very shaky first 10 mins, we look really good now.

 

[Wolvensam]

I don’t mean to alarm you all but there was a cross and someone at the FAR POST.

 

[HanDoJin]

5 in the box on an attack? This guy might know how to coach chaps

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Troare is working uncharacteristically hard defensively, it's odd.

 

[PuntsWolf]

I have no idea what Liverpool are doing. We seem to have so much space out wide.

 

[Alan]

As if watching us for the past couple of years wasn't already alarming enough!

 

[Carsy]

I don’t like this. Bring back Lage!

 

[The Bear]

Pushing their full-backs right up the pitch as usual.

 

[Carsy]

Always the way against them isn’t it. Robbo and Trent don’t act as full backs - more wingers and always leave space

 

[Alan]

"4-4-2 is back, motherfucker" - Julen Lopetegui, probably

 

[Wolvensam]

I don’t like this. Bring back Lage!

And four other players in the box. Madness

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

That's "filth" from Neves there to RAN.

 

[The Bear]

Absolute class from Neves
