Match Thread : Liverpool v Fulham

[justme]

The difference between us and City. Pep would not allow us to kick the ball forward and not give a shit where it goes.The ball gets cut out in midfield and we are on the back foot from Fulham running at us.. has for Kehellher he would be good at star jumps... The first goal the ball went between his legs. which you kinda accept he had no time to react..but the second. nonsensical

They have scored 2 and had 1 disallowed from just 35% of the play.
We are so easy to get in behind it’s frightening. Terrible half defensively and Nunez was awful at the other end.

I do think Ali may well save both Fulham goals.

We have been utterly awful at the back all season, they could be 3-2 up.

Fulham .. 3 goals in a half of football away from home says it all.
Terrible

Fixed that for you.

Because he's over-rated and scores good goals sometimes and looks good =)

Not good enough when crouch would be more effective 30% of games

Can we please get a Right Back during this January transfer window and stop with this hybrid fullback/midfield role tripe?
Please?

If you want to play Trent in the midfield then move him there and get a proper fullback who knows how to defend and stop sacrificing our defense to spare his feelings.

He's a shite defender.
It's an open secret now.
The sky doesn't fall, and you don't get struck by lightning when you say it. So maybe if Klopp himself can honestly admit it to himself he'll stop it with this silly square pegs in round holes nonsense that's been the bane of his tenure here and especially so in Trent's case.

And we could even try getting a proper (ACTUAL) defensive Midfielder while we're at it.

come on now lets play better and win the second half. been so lax today its pathetic

[BOBPAISLEYFAN]

We cannot win tackles, we cannot sense danger in midfield or in defence and so sloppy and ponderous in possession, giving the ball away so easily…granted Celleher has played better but the defence in front of him have been shocking, Matip needs to come off, Tsimikas is doing my head in again…. Trent far too casual with his defensive duties …so effectively playing with 1 good defender atmo ….

We have scored two worldies though…hopefully Klopp tears them all a new one at half time otherwise its going to be another Luton …

Nunez needs to stop diving around and start doing what he is fucking paid for …otherwise Gakpo will be on sooner rather than later ….

The game is not lost but we seriously need to fucking wake up…

[toshin]

Lets not just blame the defenders. Do any of our midfielders look like they want to put in a tackle, take a yellow?

Poor pass from Joel gives it away, Fulham break down our right side where we sometimes have a right back, they pull it back for Wilson to slot home.

Trent uses his rb/6 position to do nowt when in a rb position- then Maca comes across as our 6 to rb to deal with our lacking rb.

Seconds later Fulham score but its ruled out for offside- jot sure var will agree

Lost the lead twice due to our rb/6 taa setup - make it stop !! PLEASE

Playing a back 4 with no right back

Doesn’t matter on free kicks and corners though

I'd suggest all their goals including their offside one are developed off our taa/rb/6 setup.

It's a massive weakness

He should be dropped. His defensive effort has dropped off a cliff in recent years.
