Match Thread: Liverpool v Wham

[teesred]

I was surprised Jones wasn't used.

We were dreadful v Forest and despite the score not much better this afternoon, yet it's still Wirtz's fault...

Ffs.

Using logic..... how dare you !!

Quoting your own posts again 🤦*♂️😂

Jozza’s your alter ego or the third amigo in your little gang

Attacks ppl interpreting meaning that wasn’t there and it shows you up for what you are with the protection shit

You 3 are all really down on Macca who scored again today and we generally excellent, got the ball to stop Kerkez being dispossessed renewed Gakpo to feed Frimpong for the fifth but you bash him however he plays and project that on other posters it’s just you lot 😂

Jozza said fuck all to you, only pointing out the internal inconsistencies in your post.

No he was suggesting I was blaming Wirtz I wasn’t it’s on Slot we faired better as we weren’t playing the extra needless pass

At a Nature Conference during the day but managed to get the "Game of the Day" so could view the game, knowing the result ahead of time.

Five goals masked some deficiencies and they got through our midfield a fair bit in the second half but right now it's hard to complain - we were a side that lost games constantly, then drew games constantly and now has won 4 of the last 5 in the League - "it's a process, it's a process, it's a process" - so I'll take it.

Would be just great if the Mancs could drop points against Palace (I don't see it) to just tighten up this little cluster of sides in 3rd-to-6th even further as we head into our last 10 League games, especially knowing that Villa play Chelsea and Man United imminently, so beneficial points will be being dropped in the coming games, by which time I'd like to think we find ourselves in 4th spot with 8 left to play, all being well.

Nice to adjust the goal difference a little and score from corners.

Let's keep going Reds - we'll be playing in next season's Champion's League yet, hopefully having added another quality player or two to further our work.

we will always lose games with playing 3 midfielders.. doesn't matter what combination we have.
Then again a 3 of Grav/Macca and Dom is better than Wirtz. Hes not in a 3 or or wide of midfield for me!

Can’t ever remember feeling we had played poorly yet scored 5 goals.

We just don’t seem capable of controlling games whoever the opposition and whatever the score

Hopefully it will come if we keep working on keeping it better and picking up and counter pressing better so when we do lose it we get it back quick

It’s the control that is the worry, We are scoring goals at least. If I was to use a word to describe our midfield - it would be ‘confused’

Probably more than a few reasons for that

Agree with this and what Millers said above.
We're on a decent run but I've said a few times it feels hollow, it doesn't feel secure at any point in games. That was not the case last season, there was an assurance and confidence even if we were a goal down you still felt we had that comeback element whereas now if we go a goal down the games is done and that's proved in the stats that we haven't once came from a goal down to win this season.
We'll all take the points no matter what right now especially or at anytime but it's a very 50/50 style we have at the moment. We're not controlling games at all, the opposition often dictate the play.
I just don't see anything to make me think there's a future that looks like it'll be something we go forward with. It's very reminiscent of past managers last seasons where it was just a matter of time before change was implemented.

Slot has mentioned PSG a few times but we aren't even close to being a side like that and even with a fully fit squad we won't be.

We score 5, win easily and yet there's nothing but negativity. Pick a different sport FFS.

Ironically enough my, for want of a better word - "favourite" time to see people discuss negatives/cons within the side or constructively critique certain aspects of it is when we win, as people are generally cheerier, chirpier and more rational, versus the reactionary "oh FFS everything is sh*te" stuff that comes to the forefront when we lose a game. So I tend to prefer to see the dialogue about the nuances and could-be-betters after games we win.

Undeniably a balance to be struck mind - if we can't enjoy wins, what's the point?
