Match Thread: Galatasaray v Liverpool

[Kev0909]

when will people listen.. we tried for a long time to sign Guehi... Palace did not want to sell..it only came down to the last day cause Palace were scared of losing him for nothing.. they'd rather that happen than have no one play in his position.

Plenty of other Cb's out there we could've got

Not sure why we've put all our eggs into one basket..... same with Isak, could've just got a player like Diaz who could play up top also after we got Ekiteke..... and probably have some money for a top CDM

Baffling, arsenal have done it, newcastle did it with Thiaw who looks class...... we've got it wrong.

Major systemic issues in the team. Big gaps between defence and midfield. No press. No physicality or pace. And no movement in front of the man with the ball. We get caught short up front and move 1 too many up to try make an option and then promptly lose the ball and look short in midfield and defence straight away. He’ll have to change things up.
Dare I say it too. Big Virgil is looking as poor as he ever has. The commanding presence isn’t quiet there.

No way does Wirtz start at the weekend or Jones.
Gakpo Isak Salah
Dom,Macca and Gravenberch

Absolute shower tonight. It got a lot worse than Palace. Arne seemed like he had them prepped for an Eriedivisie game, let alone a hostile CL atmosphere.
Goes without saying, we need a huge performance at Chelsea otherwise top spot is likely gone.

we wanted Guehi.. we don't pick other options its not what we do. I be surprised even if we need a centre back in Jan. that we actually get one..

No clue either....

Slot doesn't seem to know how to fix it or change things

[jr81]

FT Well that was absolutely piss poor so stubborn and arrogant from Slot persisting with his formation change that isn’t working and his new signings that aren’t working

Not blaming the players for that Slot’s destroying the automation familiarity abd everything that made us Champions last season

Macca Gravenberch Szoboslai as a midfield 3 and Gakpo or Mo to hit either side to be quickly supported by either attacking full back

Full backs who knew how to tine their runs to support or arrive in space and when driving it forward was the right thing to do and who both out better quality deliveries three of them with Tsimi then anything we’ve seen from Kerkez or Frimpong

Get back to 433 get to familiar patterns of play and positioning asap

Got to agree. Get back to familiarity. Get back to last year's starting 11 with Ekitike up top.

Too much has changed too fast.

First clean sheet for Galatasaray in 24 CL game.

[Steveo]

How much did we spend on forwards?

[Kev0909]

First clean sheet for Galatasaray in 24 CL game.

Not surprised even frankfurt put 5 past them..... ok i'll stop saying it now

but we looked like scoring once or twice? at most? 2nd half was even worse.

To top it all off, konate basically got allison injured too, fantastic night.

Its amazing how flappy their keep looks.

[Jenson78]

Our team has lost its identity and chemistry has gone by bringing in big signings on big wages. Slot on the side lines bitching about decision. Virgil & Salah have got they're big pay day so dont need to prove shit. Isak shin connecting with the ball, Nunez like. Pretty much every chance he got against us he would fucking bury it.

[Steveo]

Have to sort it out at the training ground.

But they look like they need a manager - is a coach going to be enough

Yet we bitched and moaned when we didn't spend and brought in relative unknowns.

Most would have amounted to very little but for a certain German.
