Match Thread : Liverpool v Wolves

[eggy81]

Was literally just saying to my Dad about 30 seconds before the goal words to the effect of "West Ham in 08/09 and Hodgson aside, we rarely boo - but I can see some of ours booing here at half-time" - we were okay (not great) for the opening....12 minutes maybe - then largely an incredibly insipid and flat half otherwise from us - then Núñez spares our blushes.

We are playing without any system because our midfield can’t press and can’t cover fullbacks going forward which gives wolves too much time to break the front 3 pressing and allows them loads of opportunity to run directly at our back 4 which is often a back 3. It’s a recipe for a disaster and we are going to get absolutely pasted sooner or later if we don’t start sitting in more. .. Klopp has to see this. We currently don’t have a midfield.

Real Madrid could embarrass us if we don't turn up.

Thiago's sloppiness and complacency appears to have spread

Brilliant goal from Nunez, comes off his calf, but that's great technique and shows he's been working on it, the line of the leg and position of the body was exactly right, making meaningful contact despite him not hitting it exactly as intended

Missed the Alisson cock up for their goal 'live'....Jesus,that is one absolute fucking howler!!......

They'll paste us if we are anywhere near this kind of performance level. It's looking similar to the last time we played them over 2 legs during COVID.
Playing poorly and it was easy work for them. Modric could play on his own and boss our midfield.

Gakpo's been disappointing, coming short and going to central was too often, no runs in behind, no getting past players or beyond thrm with or without the ball

Its not easy when teams force you to press forward. Wolves will sit in. so some team has to take up the batten to attack. Brentford were the same sat really deep and forced us to press in numbers. Its gonna leave space behind. From my recollection. we were having this issue with Klopp's team in the first season and half or so.
Until we learned how to deal with it.And youre right its probably the midfield being useless now

Thiago has been shocking along with the other 2 in midfield. At this moment in time none of the 3 would get into any of the other so-called top 6 midfields.

is it true that stat that that's only the second assist for Trent this season????

Give him a minute mate.
