Match Thread: Eintracht Frankfurt v Liverpool

[miller0863]

Ok so H/T and 3-1 up away from home but fuck me we are so wide open it’s absolutely crazy. We don’t appear to have any defensive shape whatsoever when the opposition break. We are all over the place.

Just after we scored we were caught all charging forward like schoolboy football. It’s very concerning

[jr81]

Still need next goal, isak do something please

At 3-1 up last season I would say it's fame over. But in this game I'm still concerned.

[faridtoxteth]

I think one ting is clear, Hugo Ekitike should be our starting main attacker every game, regardless of the other personel or the system. Don't want to get on Isak's case but since we have been trying to shoehorn him in we've been losing games.
Wirtz looking good tonight.
We've got a team loaded with great players and we are getting used to a lot of new relationships.

[miller0863]

Wirtz playing against a team from his old league, yet still can’t get a grip of the game.

Not seen anything at all from him to suggest he was worth ditching Harvey Elliott for.

Only difference is, we would never have given Harvey so many minutes to make his mark.

And Elliott would have scored and assisted a couple by now if he had, that’s just fact.

[RedMagic]

That last attack pisses me off......up to opposition box and then 90 seconds of tippy tappy bullshit just fucking go for it

Ditto

HT 3-1

Over to Slot to make sure we’re A LOT better second half and get the win

Better after the goal

Robbo assisting Ekitike demonstrating EXACTLY what I’ve been moaning about us not trying to release the players and take the fastest route to goal when it’s on to

Too much slow passing still need more zip, need to play those switches to the wide player in isolation either side when they’re on too, without the extra unnecessary pass or two

Been on too hit those players all game with players well positioned to quickly support the ball too

You cant have two players like Jones and Wirtz in your team. playing the game, like their in the school yard.. Jones loves being caught in possession in front of his of own back line

Was tearing my hair out before Hugo made it 1-1...Nice to be in front 3-1 at HT but let's not kid ourselves,this lot are even worse than we are defensively......

[jimmyliver]

Very happy to see chiesa come on , Isak having a torrid time ain’t he

[RedMagic]

Chiesa is going to get a half of football. Is Slot feeling alright?

[Kev0909]

Oh good Isak for chiesa..... well played Slot you've done something at HT for once

hopefully it's not because of a knock....

did we keep the receipt?? get the money back and buy a cb and CDM like we should've done in the first place then we can focus on getting another winger

He's the right footed version of herr Elliott....
