It is what it is, Jurgen focusing on the next 2 games after this Come on come on come ON Liverpool, come the fucking FUCK on Liverpool, come on Origi, Shaq and Oxlade, let's be as good as we can possibly be, get the win and some goals here tonight and get the fucking win

[ianlfc]

Something had to change, hopefully this is the kick up the arse the team needs.
3 points please.

[Nineteenx]

Hope Origi has one of his unexpectedly brilliant games like that one and only time he was brilliant v the bitters and Shaq also played, he's had one in five or is it six years at the club, must be due another

[justme]

Need a solid start and take it from there. lets hope the bitter blue ref deals with Burnley physically manhandling Alisson, i doubt it though.,since its a Burnley tactic its permitted.

[Artisan]

Go for it from the gun...

[Nineteenx]

Here we go, Come on come on come ON Liverpool, come the fucking FUCK on Liverpool, bum these 6 fingered bastards

[miller0863]

Looks like Ox further forward and Shaq in midfield

[Nineteenx]

Corner here come on Matip come on Origi

[Steveo]

Great ball in from Shaq

[miller0863]

Brilliant ball in from Shaq, Fab should do better with the header

[Steveo]

Origi with a questionable shot..

[Nineteenx]

Cracking effort from distance by Origi there

[miller0863]

Div, wtf was that, absolutely pathetic

[eggy81]

Origi with the clearance

[Artisan]

Liking that from Origi, he's not afraid.

[miller0863]

Really good turn and pass from Shaq

[Nineteenx]

Corner here come on Matip, Mane, Origi, fabinho, Gini

[Steveo]

Fabinho again misses a good chance with the head

[RedNoodle]

Origi with the conversion/extra point.

Fixed for you. ;)

[Steveo]

Trent taking too long to get the ball in

[boom-klopp]

we are not playing well at all. just nervous in the final third.

when trent puts a decent ball into the box this season please wake me up.

[eggy81]

Wow we don’t know what to do near the box at all.

[Steveo]

At times we should try and get a strike in when in these positions

[boom-klopp]

mane is so poor he can’t even pass the ball straight. he was bad before but its ridiculous now.

whats happened to this team?

we will not score.

[RedNoodle]

At times we should try and get a strike in when in these positions

As I said yesterday, we (notably our forward line) take too long to take a shot.

[Steveo]

Robbo aimlessly gives the ball away twice in 10 seconds.

Come on lads - we have to win this one

[boom-klopp]

this is so poor.

[Nineteenx]

Carra, Mr me on commentary annoying the absolute fuck out of me, all about Carra who has become Mr Sky, knocks me sick, they had 2 chances all fucking game, we dominated them, bossed them, Mo had THE best chance of the game if he'd taken it first time on his left and Carra's continuing the Sky and Murdoch rag media narrative we somehow got lucky with a draw, fuck off man, once a bitter always a fucking bitter

[miller0863]

Some really casual passing going on out there

[eggy81]

Carra, Mr me on commentary annoying the absolute fuck out of me, all about Carra who has become Mr Sky, knocks me sick, they had 2 chances all fucking game, we dominated them, bossed them, Mo had THE best chance of the game if he'd taken it first time on his left and Carra's continuing the Sky and Murdoch rag media narrative we somehow got lucky with a draw, fuck off man, once a bitter always a fucking bitter

Take off the Liverpool specs for once 19.

[Artisan]

Mane needs to stay out on the right...

[Crimson Dynasty]

Robbo aimlessly gives the ball away twice in 10 seconds.

....

He's having some of whatever it is that Trent's been having.

None of our Fulbacks can put in a cross or an accurate pass now, it seems.

[Artisan]

Mane needs to stay out on the right...

Left

[RedNoodle]

Some really casual passing going on out there

Which is even more concerning once you factor in that a fair few of these players haven't been/are not regulars in the side i.e. they should be fully focused.

[Nineteenx]

Come on come on come ON Liverpool, come the fucking FUCK on Liverpool, get yourselves in front here now, keep laying, also look to release Ox in positions he can take a touch out of his feet and shoot and ditto look to stretch it wide or make them drop and tee up the Shaq for shots just outside their box

[Steveo]

Some really casual passing going on out there

Yes but it is another team with a ton of changes. I mean Fab is back where he belongs but has been playing CB most of the season - completely new front line - Ox in the middle Shaq in between and Thiago getting used to the team.

That is a one huge lack of continuity

[Steveo]

Matip does very well there. Then a lovely balm from Robbo - corner

[boom-klopp]

they gonna score. we are all over the shop

[miller0863]

There’s no pattern to our play or any real intent. Trent has pulled out of two challenges so far. Poor

[RedNoodle]

Yes but it is another team with a ton of changes. I mean Fab is back where he belongs but has been playing CB most of the season - completely new front line - Ox in the middle Shaq in between and Thiago getting used to the team.

That is a one huge lack of continuity

That might explain why players are not on the same wavelength, but not why they give away/lose the ball on a fair few occasions.

[boom-klopp]

this obsession with passing it into the net when we are not playing well is hurting us.

just shoot ffs!!

[Steveo]

Oooh Shaq - so close - he has dynamite in them boots..

Much more like it. Come on the reds!!!

[Nineteenx]

Take off the Liverpool specs for once 19.

I want Carra to put them on for fucks sake, be partizan, be a Liverpool pundit just like Neville's very obviously partizan and pro the filthy, if the filthy had had the shite we've been handed by VAR you can bet Neville would be highlghting every single instance on MNF

Better, teed Shaq up for a shot there

[miller0863]

Shaq looking the sharpest out there. As I type it he goes close with a decent strike

[Steveo]

Decent setup and ok strike from the Ox

[boom-klopp]

two shots, that’s good but bit closer. around 15 yrds, just shoot.

[Steveo]

Trent almost gets a great ball into Origi but Ben Mee somehow stops it. Great work Thiago

[southernboy]

No urgency. It feels like a training exercise.

[boom-klopp]

they really are a horrible team to play against

[Crimson Dynasty]

At least some of the players we have out there today aren't too shy to take a shot when it presents itself.

[miller0863]

Kinell Origi that was utter rubbish again

[Nineteenx]

Free kick here come on Matip

[eggy81]

I want Carra to put them on for fucks sake, be partizan, be a Liverpool pundit just like Neville's very obviously partizan and pro the filthy, if the filthy had had the shite we've been handed by VAR you can bet Neville would be highlghting every single instance on MNF

Better, teed Shaq up for a shot there

Carra is twice as partisan as Neville. Actually annoys me for the opposite reason as he annoys you. Just constantly in a wind up with Neville looking like a twat. He’s on sky to analyse football not be a Liverpool fan.

[Nineteenx]

Ox gives their defender the slightest of nudges and it's a free kick?

[justme]

Why are we playing long ball football, any idea??

[Steveo]

Nice run and strike from Origi. Simple save in the end though.

[boom-klopp]

am getting seriously pissed off with trent now. he needs dropping

[miller0863]

Thiago hasn’t been great apart from the one ball out to Trent

[RedNoodle]

We take ages to get a shot off, and when we finally do shoot it's either weak as pee, straight at the keeper, or high/wide.

[Nineteenx]

Carra is twice as partisan as Neville. Actually annoys me for the opposite reason as he annoys you. Just constantly in a wind up with Neville looking like a twat. He’s on sky to analyse football not be a Liverpool fan.

If that had been the filthy on the receiving end of the VAR against the bitters, particularly Virgil being a good yard onside and VAR calling him off and Prickford taking his eyes completely off the ball and focusing on one of the filthy's best players Neville would have highlighted it to the rafters on MNF to try and make sure he nipped it in the bud early, asking "How, HOW, can they look at these replays and not call that right"

[miller0863]

Every shot straight at the keeper

[Steveo]

Origi again gets a strike away - but right at the keeper. Can we find the net please

[boom-klopp]

why the F..K is mane passing to origi in the box when he can pop a shot off???

what on earth has happened to us?

[RedNoodle]

Yet again straight at the keeper!!! :mad:

Oh for a Rush or Fowler.

[TheDOC1979]

Every shot straight at the keeper

One will go in. At least we're getting them on target

[LFC-DPG]

We take ages to get a shot off, and when we finally do shoot it's either weak as pee, straight at the keeper, or high/wide.

At least we are getting shots in. Only takes a little deflection and we are up.

[Steveo]

How long is that without a goal now? Bloody hell. The longer it goes the harder it gets.

We have looked more dangerous than of late to be fair

[Artisan]

One will go in. At least we're getting them on target

Yup, just a matter of time...

[boom-klopp]

if klopp persists with trent i have to ask questions about him.

said it before, his attitude stinks

[eggy81]

Puke football. Why are we playing within ourselves all the time these days

[miller0863]

Terrible ball out to Trent, he has to wait for it and check back instead of running onto it.
We really are struggling

[RedNoodle]

At least we are getting shots in. Only takes a little deflection and we are up.

How many games have we/are we going to keep saying that?

[Nineteenx]

Come on come on come ON Liverpool, come the fucking FUCK on Liverpool, get yourselves ahead here now

[boom-klopp]

wijinaldum is on the pitch btw..

[LFC-DPG]

How many games have we/are we going to keep saying that?

Well it wasn’t the last game that’s for sure.

[Steveo]

How many games have we/are we going to keep saying that?

Barely had any in the last few games mate

[boom-klopp]

so easy for them to defend. soooo easy.

[miller0863]

Ox and Origi may as well still be on the bench

[Steveo]

Trent has a pop - Klopp having a moan BUT well worth a go

[teesred]

Slow, ponderous,lack of cutting edge.
So much for thinking we'd get a performance.

[Steveo]

Thiago was taken out - much more urgency from us - that’s what we want lads. Come on

[boom-klopp]

Mane take the shot on!!!’

[Nineteenx]

Ox's movement isn't right thus far for me, he keeps coming too narrow when he should be stretching it looking to be released wide with Burnley playing so narrow, and when it is already wide with Trent quickly dropping off to be found in the positions he's good at shooting from

[Steveo]

Much better play here. Trent unlucky great block on his shot

[boom-klopp]

i’m actually counting 38 crosses from trent since west brom that havenf found a player...

38...

[Nineteenx]

Corner here come on Matip

[eggy81]

Mane is pissing me right off tonight. Gets it between the lines and constantly lets them filter back. Attack them ffs

[RedNoodle]

Barely had any in the last few games mate

It's not referring just to the pure number of shots we are having, but that if we shoot (even if not that often) eventually one will go in.

There are no guarantees that one will go in whether we have one or one hundred shots. The most important thing is making sure that when we do get a shot away it requires the goal keeper to make a save. How many of those kinds of shots have we had in total as of late? Not many.

[Crimson Dynasty]

Do we even have target practice in our training sessions?

It almost seems like no one in the team can shoot on target anymore, and it's either sky it to the stratosphere or straight into the keeper's hands.

[TheDOC1979]

Am I the only one who thinks we look more threatening than we have?

[boom-klopp]

39....

[Steveo]

Am I the only one who thinks we look more threatening than we have?

We look MUCH more threatening.

And as I speak Origi misses when clean through. Over hits it desperate to impress.

[miller0863]

Ffs

[RedNoodle]

Ox and Origi may as well still be on the bench

The bench would put in a less wooden performance.

[boom-klopp]

not happening...

[Nineteenx]

Origi misses an absolutely golden chance

[boom-klopp]

it’s written guys.
can origi just f..k off somewhere

[eggy81]

Take him off.

[teesred]

Jesus fucking wept.

[RedNoodle]

And that sums up in one moment why we need a much better squad than the one we have.

[Artisan]

From the side view looked like it bobbled just as he booted it...

[miller0863]

As CF, it’s the sort of chance you dream of

[TheDOC1979]

I blame lack of starts for that miss. Jurgen messing with the psyché of our players

[Nineteenx]

Free kick here, come on Shaq, Trent wants it, but I'd prefer Shaq on Trent's efforts this season

[boom-klopp]

watch trent try to be a hero here...

[boom-klopp]

40..

[RedNoodle]

I blame lack of starts for that miss. Jurgen messing with the psyché of our players

I blame a lack of quality and composure.

[miller0863]

What’s that??? Wtf is that Trent??

[Nineteenx]

Free kick here, come on Shaq, Trent wants it, but I'd prefer Shaq on Trent's efforts this season

And that's why

[eggy81]

Trent is way out of sorts.

[Crimson Dynasty]

I blame lack of starts for that miss. Jurgen messing with the psyché of our players

Don't worry.
He'll take him off in the 87th minute and bring on Minamino who will surely be sharp enough to score the winner.

[Steveo]

VAR looking at something here

[eggy81]

Top 4 is going to be tough for this side. Absolutely nothing is happening for them.

[justme]

Origi is not a natural finisher. most finishers would have gotten closer to the goal keeper then placed at it the side of him. 15 yards out taking a shot with that amount of power. its always going to rise.. should have scored mind you.

[boom-klopp]

f..k me we are being shafted...

[Steveo]

Out of order so many bashing Origi. He has worked hard tonight - hasn’t had a kick in how long..?

Come on fellas

[Nineteenx]

Silly kick out by Fabinho right at the end of the half, can't be doing shit like that knowing how these VAR cunts are

[TheDOC1979]

I blame a lack of quality and composure.

He's got the quality noods. That goal against Everton last season wasn't luck. If you're not starting when you're on a high, keep getting put on the bench, that going top mess with the best of players

[RedNoodle]

FFS Fabinho. Calm your tits!!!

[eggy81]

Out of order so many bashing Origi. He has worked hard tonight - hasn’t had a kick in how long..?

Come on fellas
He’s useless

[Steveo]

Origi is not a natural finisher. most finishers would have gotten closer to the goal keeper then placed at it the side of him. 15 yards out taking a shot with that amount of power. its always going to rise.. should have scored mind you.

He did everything right - it was a good strike - but over hit - classic of a player desperate to be relevant. Let’s face it - he has done brilliant before and been dropped.

[Nineteenx]

Could have played Mane in and taken the keeper right out of it, it was 2 v the keeper mane was coming from behind the ball so couldn't be offside

Over to Jurgen to sort his shit out and make sure we get this game won second half

[Steveo]

He’s useless

Harsh and totally unfair

[boom-klopp]

to even look at it? would man utd or abu dhabi fc even have var look at that??

klopp can get as pissed off as he wants, but he didn’t utilise a full squad.

now when he needs the players, they are cold.

he needs a new coach in my eyes as pep ljnders has had his day.

this is all about coaching.

[Artisan]

Origi's doing alright, Mane and Trent doing my nut...Both trying to be everywhere rather than just doing what they do well...

[Nineteenx]

He did everything right - it was a good strike - but over hit - classic of a player desperate to be relevant. Let’s face it - he has done brilliant before and been dropped.

You are a revisionist, aside from the Everton game when he scored a brace and benefitting from the opposition not considering him a threat with good reason and not bothering to pick him up for 3 taps ins, he's donee fuck all in 6 years, he should have been shipped out the summer after we won the CHampions League

[HLOGI]

Out of order so many bashing Origi. He has worked hard tonight - hasn’t had a kick in how long..?

Come on fellas

Origi has been very good. Shots, movement. Running the channels. Holding up. Proper center forward play. We dont need a 5th midfielder so he is doing well as a striker.

Much better than Bobby. We have Shaqiri, Thiago and Gini to play the ball we dont need more hands in the kitchen.

[RedNoodle]

He's got the quality noods. That goal against Everton last season wasn't luck. If you're not starting when you're on a high, keep getting put on the bench, that going top mess with the best of players

Not when it comes to consistent quality. He's had a couple of 'moments' in his career with us, but other than that he is largely a 'nothing' player.

Him starting for us sums up exactly why we are having issues and why FSG need to open up the chequebook and give Klopp a large amount to beef up the team/squad. There are still too many poor-average at best, and injury prone players on our books.

[eggy81]

Harsh and totally unfair
He’s had about 6 good performances in his whole Liverpool career and a freakish career high moment v Barca which will gain him cult hero status. He’s not good enough to play for Liverpool. He’s not the only in that squad either.

[miller0863]

What a pile.

No wonder Origi is still here, who’s going to pay what we’ll want for him now? He looks terrible.

As for Ox, he’s nowhere near fit enough to be starting, he had absolutely zero impact on that half whatsoever.

Defence was ok but we need more from the midfield other than Shaq, who was easily the sharpest of the three.
Pretty much the whole squad is really off form at the moment, they could do with a couple of goals and a confidence boosting three points.

[HLOGI]

You are a revisionist, aside from the Everton game when he scored a brace and benefitting from the opposition not considering him a threat with good reason and not bothering to pick him up for 3 taps ins, he's donee fuck all in 6 years

You just sour Bobby your favourite is not playing. Origi has looked more dangerous in 5 plays than Firmino in a year

[Artisan]

Could have played Mane in and taken the keeper right out of it, it was 2 v the keeper mane was coming from behind the ball so couldn't be offside

Over to Jurgen to sort his shit out and make sure we get this game won second half

Mane wasn't breaking his neck to help out...I still think it bobbled.

[LEGS]

Not exactly great but at least we are taking shots.

TV money will drop soon no way can the league have these bus parkers playing and earning the same money as the top sides.

I dont blame Dyche for doing it as its working but from a viewing point of view its pretty dire.

[HLOGI]

Ox has stunk up the game alongside Trent.

[HLOGI]

Mane wasn't breaking his neck to help out...I still think it bobbled.

Agree. Origi did everything right but score.

[Crimson Dynasty]

Out of order so many bashing Origi. He has worked hard tonight - hasn’t had a kick in how long..?

Come on fellas

Agreed.

He's the only who's not been shy to take a shot (other than Shaqiri) when presented with an opportunity and if not for his lack of form and playing time, I'd have to think he'd have had one or two gone in by now.
Plus he's linking up really well with Mane whenever they pour forward and is making incisive drives into the heart of the Burnley defense whenever we start falling into those passing trances we typically tend to, and forcing the Burnley defenders to fall out of their shape creating space opportunities for others..

But as we all know it's usually in fashion and in season to bash Origi, so no surprise here,
Even if he scores a goal it will be down to Burnley's lack of quality more than anything he does, so he can't win either way.
He's had more shots on target in this half than Firmino had in the entire last game.

[justme]

With not playing Henderson and Firmino theres no control of the game.everything is backwards and forwards. Oxlade is getting caught whether to hold or run.

[TheDOC1979]

Origi is not a natural finisher. most finishers would have gotten closer to the goal keeper then placed at it the side of him. 15 yards out taking a shot with that amount of power. its always going to rise.. should have scored mind you.

Clearly you're not either justme. Getting closer narrows the goal up allowing the keeper to easily make a save. Nothing wrong with he did at all, just unlucky in my opinion.

[eggy81]

You just sour Bobby your favourite is not playing. Origi has looked more dangerous in 5 plays than Firmino in a year

Bobby has been shite and I’m all for someone else getting a chance but big div isn’t the answer.

[Artisan]

Could have played Mane in and taken the keeper right out of it, it was 2 v the keeper mane was coming from behind the ball so couldn't be offside

Over to Jurgen to sort his shit out and make sure we get this game won second half


Take that back, Mane had made up the ground.

[RedNoodle]

Out of order so many bashing Origi. He has worked hard tonight - hasn’t had a kick in how long..?

Come on fellas

He has still been training, hitting shots, working on his touch, passing etc.

A lot of our fans are increasingly resorting to endless excuses whether it's regarding our players, our manager, or our owners.

[eggy81]

Ox has stunk up the game alongside Trent.
Agreed. Even robbo has lost his edge near the box.

[HLOGI]

Origi's doing alright, Mane and Trent doing my nut...Both trying to be everywhere rather than just doing what they do well...

Agree.

[justme]

The Barnes challenge on Thiago was ridiculous

[miller0863]

Our last 75 attempts have produced 1 goal.

[HLOGI]

Agreed. Even robbo has lost his edge near the box.

Confidence and form hitting entire team in the final 3rd.

[boom-klopp]

same old shit.

he’ll bring salad on who will do his usual back to defence, foot over ball, lose it, jump in the air in frustration.

rinse repeat.

even if we score, they will equalise.

it’s just horrible.

[shminkyred]

Not exactly great but at least we are taking shots.

TV money will drop soon no way can the league have these bus parkers playing and earning the same money as the top sides.

I dont blame Dyche for doing it as its working but from a viewing point of view its pretty dire.

apparently 75 shots and one goal

[Nineteenx]

You just sour Bobby your favourite is not playing. Origi has looked more dangerous in 5 plays than Firmino in a year

Hmmm, really? 2 winners v Spurs, 2 assists for winners early season, winner v Wolves, winner in the WCC etc etc etc scored or laid on plenty of absolutely vital goals

I'm not pissed Bobby's been given a rest ahead of the game v the filthy, I think and said Origi should have gone the summer after we won the Champions league, he's been almost exclusively consistently shite

[HLOGI]

What’s that??? Wtf is that Trent??

Trent as the designated taker is horrendous. He has hit some good ones but he is like a 1 in 200 on target. Shaq and Thiago when on the pitch should take some free kicks. They have cultured feet.

[TheDOC1979]

He has still been training, hitting shots, working on his touch, passing etc.

A lot of our fans are increasingly resorting to endless excuses whether it's regarding our players, our manager, or our owners.

So have the regular front three noods and we've seen how they've been scoring non stop. If you're not getting played, regularly, no chance you have any confidence. At least he's having a go. More shooting positions and on target shots than the front three recently, on his own!

[Steveo]

You are a revisionist, aside from the Everton game when he scored a brace and benefitting from the opposition not considering him a threat with good reason and not bothering to pick him up for 3 taps ins, he's donee fuck all in 6 years, he should have been shipped out the summer after we won the CHampions League

Hasn’t exactly had many minutes in the last 3 years has he mate - except for some very important ones that is..!

[southernboy]

I’m worried. Every game, I’m hoping for some kind of reaction but not seeing it. Tonight has been, in the main, pedestrian.

[eggy81]

Trent as the designated taker is horrendous. He has hit some good ones but he is like a 1 in 200 on target. Shaq and Thiago when on the pitch should take some free kicks. They have cultured feet.

Trents style is low percentage with a lot of power. I’d have shaw and Thiago over every free especially given trents current form

[boom-klopp]

Hmmm, really? 2 winners v Spurs, 2 assists for winners early season, winner v Wolves, winner in the WCC etc etc etc scored or laid on plenty of absolutely vital goals

I'm not pissed Bobby's been given a rest ahead of the game v the filthy, I think and said Origi should have gone the summer after we won the Champions league, he's been almost exclusively consistently shite

past glories.

players lose their ability. formeno has lost his for 2 seasons.

div is just not up to speed. with a run of games through the middle he can be lethal.

[justme]

Keeping Henderson for the Fa-cup game??

[HLOGI]

So have the regular front three noods and we've seen how they've been scoring non stop. If you're not getting played, regularly, no chance you have any confidence. At least he's having a go. More shooting positions and on target shots than the front three recently, on his own!

Agree. If you dont buy the ticket you dont win the lottery. We over pass in the final third. If you shoot on sight it abuse defenders to xoe out and then you can pass at times in the box. We Have been too predictable around and in the 18.

[Crimson Dynasty]

Keeping Henderson for the Fa-cup game??

Isn't he injured?

I read somewhere that he had a slight knock from the last game and that's why he's not in the squad today.
But apparently not a long-term deal so he (theoretically) should be available next game.

[justme]

past glories.

players lose their ability. formeno has lost his for 2 seasons.

div is just not up to speed. with a run of games through the middle he can be lethal.

The only time youve appeared for this long a period is when we are having a bad slump? where was YOU LAST SEASON?

[HLOGI]

Keeping Henderson for the Fa-cup game??

Apparently a slight muscle issue.

[Nineteenx]

Ox has stunk up the game alongside Trent.

He, Ox is taking up the wrong positions throughout, when trent's deep and he needs the RFWD to be wide to play into to come up the pitch he's coming narrow and helping Burnley defend easier, when Trent's advanced THEN he's going wide and limiting our options when he should be dropping off centre looking to be an option to play into to shoot or used to occupy a defender for someone else's movement

It's what happens when you fuck about with the front 3

[Artisan]

Give Salah and Bobby 30mins to sort this shit out...

[Nineteenx]

Here we go, Come on come on come ON Liverpool, come the fucking FUCK on Liverpool, score a couple this half and get a win here tonight

[teesred]

I’m worried. Every game, I’m hoping for some kind of reaction but not seeing it. Tonight has been, in the main, pedestrian.

Totally echo that thought. This is becoming worrying and it doesn't look like ending. Even if we win this game I can imagine our play being pretty much the same going forward. What else is going to change it?
Teams put numbers against us ,sit deep and we are fucked.

[HLOGI]

He, Ox is taking up the wrong positions throughout, when trent's deep and he needs the RFWD to be wide to play into to come up the pitch he's coming narrow and helping Burnley defend easier, when Trent's advanced THEN he's going wide and limiting our options when he should be dropping off centre looking to be an option to play into to shoot or used to occupy a defender for someone else's movement

It's what happens when you fuck about with the front 3

I see that point. Bit Trents passing even inside, diagonal and crossing has not been good.

[justme]

Isn't he injured?

I read somewhere that he had a slight knock from the last game and that's why he's not in the squad today.
But apparently not a long-term deal so he (theoretically) should be available next game.

Ok well this game is more vital to me.. since we dont take the fa-cup serious. even if we get through the tie,, i doubt we will go strong in the following round. so baffling to me

[Insidious]

I find myself saying this in many match threads, but more give-and-goes to compliment the crosses.

We definitely over-do the crossing weapon at times.

[HLOGI]

Totally echo that thought. This is becoming worrying and it doesn't look like ending. Even if we win this game I can imagine our play bring pretty much the same going forward. What rise is going to change it?
Teams put numbers against us ,sit deep and we are fucked.

We just need to win. Form will come.

[TheDOC1979]

All bashing poor Origi when Trent can't seem to put in a decent cross

[HLOGI]

I find myself saying this in many match threads, but more give-and-goes to compliment the crosses.

We definitely over-do the crossing weapon at times.

Also the quality of the crosses is the issue. That is why it looks so useless.

[HLOGI]

Give Salah and Bobby 30mins to sort this shit out...

Salah should be brought on before the hour for Ox. He has not done covered himself in glory.

[Nineteenx]

At least Origi's looking interested tonight and is fairing a bit better trying to play through the centre rather than LFWD where he was used so frequently to little or no effect

[Steveo]

Give Salah and Bobby 30mins to sort this shit out...

To be fair - they have had nigh on 360 minutes to do just that v West Brom - Newcastle - Southampton and the filth - Surely we can try something else. Pretty sure both Salah and Bobby will get some minutes later

[boom-klopp]

The only time youve appeared for this long a period is when we are having a bad slump? where was YOU LAST SEASON?

so i should be a fairweather fan sadio?

hmmm

seriously shut up and watch the game.

[miller0863]

Ox lad ...

[HLOGI]

All bashing poor Origi when Trent can't seem to put in a decent cross

We need another RB who can challenge him.

[HLOGI]

Ox lad ...

Lol he is bad.

[HLOGI]

At least Origi's looking interested tonight and is fairing a bit better trying to play through the centre rather than LFWD where he was used so frequently to little or no effect

I prefer him as a 9.

[miller0863]

Mané about to tap it in and Pope’s reactions were incredible

[Steveo]

Robbo seems to believe that a football can only be crossed - no matter that a simple pass is on - no let’s cross it .. come on lads

[TheDOC1979]

Take Wijnaldum off!

[boom-klopp]

43....

[RedNoodle]

Mané about to tap it in and Pope’s reactions were incredible

Early in the first half I was going to say that this was looking like one of those games where Pope or another keeper has a a blinder.

[miller0863]

That should be Ox’s last touch

[eggy81]

All bashing poor Origi when Trent can't seem to put in a decent cross

He’s getting bashed too. Away with the fairies out there. Pulling out of tackles. Missing balls misdirecting headers shooting into row z taking too many touches. He’s been absolutely shite all season. Doesn’t look interested even.

[Crimson Dynasty]

On the positive side, Matip's still not found away to injure himself again...
(knock on wood, fingers crossed, rabbit's foot,..... et cetera).


So at least that's something.

[Nineteenx]

Come on come on come ON Liverpool, come the fucking FUCK on Liverpool, be fucking Liverpool, intensity, move it a lot quicker, mix it up, keep it for a spell trying to play through much quicker than you are now, hit a few long and direct ones and switches too, don't play too slow, don't be too predictable

[Steveo]

Trent exposed and left for dead.

Salah and Bobby on Ox and Origi off - now come on FfS

[eggy81]

Lol at Trent. Has he been on the beer since summer. He’s lost it. Liability out there

[TheDOC1979]

Gone back to crossing the ball again, or shall I say trying to cross it.

[Nineteenx]

Bobby and Mo on for Origi and Ox

Come on come on come ON Liverpool, come the fucking FUCK on Liverpool, get yourselves ahead here now

[boom-klopp]

trent needs to go

[miller0863]

What a save again

[Steveo]

I think Klopp should get into their ears and tell them to cross it more.. :D

Salah great strike after Gini’s run that bastard Pope saves

Come oooooooon PLEASE can we sodding well score a goal. One pissing goal

[TheDOC1979]

Cant wait till we replace wijnalum with someone better. Actually useless.

[Nineteenx]

Brilliant by Gini there

[RedNoodle]

What a save again

What did I say about Pope having a blinder?

[eggy81]

Class from gini. Bit more of that type of thing needed

[Artisan]

Good save...

[HLOGI]

Trents decision making when the ball come to him. That extra touch before he crosses is what is letting him down.

[RedNoodle]

Class from gini. Bit more of that type of thing needed

He doesn't do things like that often enough. Now would be a good time for him to double his goal tally for the season.

[Steveo]

Come on...!! A goal for the red men please

[eggy81]

Salah has already improved us. Finally someone is actually moving.

[eggy81]

He doesn't do things like that often enough. Now would be a good time for him to double his goal tally for the season.
None of our midfield ever break forward with the ball. Looks like it’s by design to me. We need more of it from all of them.

[Steveo]

Ohh FFS Salah pulls a ball back for Mané - dreadful strike under pressure

[Nineteenx]

Come on come on come ON Liverpool, come the fucking FUCK on Liverpool, get yourselves ahead here now, temp tempo tempo, intensity intensity intensity

[HLOGI]

Poor from Mane. Salah has looked threatening so far.

[TheDOC1979]

Origi would've at least hit the target

[southernboy]

What did I say about Pope having a blinder?

To be fair, I don’t think he ever has a bad game. Sure, he concedes goals like all keepers, but I think he’s one of the best in the league.

[Steveo]

An Irishman goes off and an Icelandic comes on for him. One clart for another. Burnley don’t play football - more like a rugby team

[Artisan]

Mane having another shit game...

[Insidious]

"memba scoring goals?"
"memba counter-attacks?"
"memba blowing teams away?"

"Oh, I member!"

[eggy81]

Origi would've at least hit the target

Like in the first half

[Steveo]

Alisson saves brilliantly - would have been offside. Time to drop Trent

[miller0863]

Offside but what a save from Alisson

[HLOGI]

Can Trwnr be subbed. Please!!! He must be close to 38 give away again.

[eggy81]

Alisson saves brilliantly - would have been offside. Time to drop Trent

He’s a lazy looking waste of a place at the moment

[TheDOC1979]

Like in the first half

Don't think we can judge him by one miss.

[Crimson Dynasty]

Trent is a joke at this point.

Jogging back so casual like while Burnley get a scoring opportunity.

[HLOGI]

Alisson saves brilliantly - would have been offside. Time to drop Trent

It all stems from him not passing back to Allison and hitting it into a corridor

[Nineteenx]

Put some fucking zip on the ball for fucks sake, play it quicker, move it quicker but fizz the fucking thing into feet, let the other guy worry about controlling it

[Insidious]

Alisson saves brilliantly - would have been offside. Time to drop Trent

Alisson has definitely earned a Curly Wurly band some beef Space Raiders.

[eggy81]

Don't think we can judge him by one miss.
Maybe harsh but it looks like being our best chance of the game. Says more about us than him tbf

[Steveo]

Alisson has definitely earned a Curly Wurly band some beef Space Raiders.

And a packet of Pickled onion monster munch

[Steveo]

The Icelandic clart Gudmunsson nearly makes it 0:1

[RedNoodle]

Everyone is rightly having a go at TAA, but Klopp should also be copping (or should it be Kopping/Klopping) some flak for repeatedly playing him.

[southernboy]

I can see Burnley scoring here.

I can’t see us scoring again this season, never mind tonight. /s

[miller0863]

McNeil v Trent would be stopped by the ref if it was boxing

[eggy81]

Trent again. Can he even sprint

[Steveo]

And Bobby with a brilliant strike :D

[miller0863]

Firmino that was shite lad, absolute shite

[boom-klopp]

forget defender, just buy a striker.

[Nineteenx]

Like that ball to Robbo by Gini just now, takes too long to fucking get there and the defenders have time to get closer to him, zip the fucking thing into feet

Come on come on come ON Liverpool, come the fucking FUCK on Liverpool, get yourselves ahead here now

[HLOGI]

It is he kit. The verve went with New Balance. It used to mean more. 😂😂😂

[southernboy]

Firmino :*(

[eggy81]

Bring div back on ffs

[redebreck]

Ohh FFS Salah pulls a ball back for Mané - dreadful strike under pressure

Could that have been a penalty?
Sadio taken after striking the ball?

[miller0863]

20 attempts and we don’t look like scoring one.

[HLOGI]

And Bobby with a brilliant strike :D

Lol. Didnt disappoint.

[Steveo]

That’s it lads - don’t shoot - wait till they are all back in place and try to get it past a wall of yellow.!!

[TheDOC1979]

Firmino should've never replaced Origi based on his form.

[RedNoodle]

Shoot FFS!!! :mad:

[Crimson Dynasty]

Trent again. Can he even sprint

It's the casual jogging back after he gets beaten that's really doing me head in.

Can't even bother to look fussed.

[southernboy]

If we got a penalty, Pope would save it. I’m not even joking. This is so bloody depressing to watch.

[RedNoodle]

Maybe if both me and Nineteenx take a toilet break at the same time we might score?

[Steveo]

If we got a penalty, Pope would save it. I’m not even joking. This is so bloody depressing to watch.

Probably

[TheDOC1979]

The extra touch is killing our game

[eggy81]

What’s with letting them run back when we are in on their back 4. It’s infuriating to look at.

[Nineteenx]

Too tappy tappy there overplaying when mane should have just been direct and looked to play Mo or Bobby in directly, instead we go wide and back and let them get back
