Match Thread: Liverpool v PSG

[Crimson Dynasty]

What a miserable goal we gave them after all the effort over two games

I feel really bad for Allisson.

If anyone's been let down by this result, it should be him after what he's given to get us to this point.

Everyone of them outfield players should have been busting a gut to repay him for dragging us through for the win in the last game, but instead we got sloppiness in the middle of the park (like what led to the first goal), wastefulness and no-shows in the frontline, and shakiness at the back.

Best team won overr both legs

[jozza800]

Because we didn't have the league wrapped up yet.

We still don't.

And as you saw from Southampton, we barely eked that one out despite the scoreline thanks to two kind penalties

Cos he's played the same players week in week out.

You dont think Endo, Elliot or Chiesa could have played against Soton?

Four trophies down to two. Final without Trent & possibly Konate. Lack of quality in the squad when we need it at the business end.

[Crimson Dynasty]

Exactly what I thought. They'd have ripped him to shreds.

We'll never know for sure now, will we?

I'm not sure how we're so far ahead in the league tbh thank god our strongest 11 has stayed fit for most of it

No chance same happening next season.

Nunez looked done in 30 minutes too

That's a bit revisionist. The use of the squad is one of the reasons we are top.
We're top on merit, let's not be hasty because we've lost that on penalties. They're easily one of the best in Europe.

No but when you need legs in midfield he wasn't someone Slot was going to bring on.

[jr81]

He waited too long to take Jota out for one thing, who was nothing but a passenger at best tonight and a conduit for wasting chances we couldn't afford to waste.

Alternatively he shouldn't have started him at all.
He's been awful for several weeks now.
What's the thinking and hoping that he's suddenly going to find his form in this game?

Slot has to take the stick for that one.

Nunez wasn't any different though. It's the squad. He couldn't start gakpo, he is just back from injury so it was gonna be one of jota or nunez.

Doubt it would have made much difference tonight tbh

We need another mid in the summer and forwards.... not to mention RB/LB/CB we'll probably get 2-3 players Even with trent leaving....

Squad will always lack v clubs like PSG, we're skint compared to them, they've got a great squad, we've got a good first team, and a few options on the bench, rest average simple as that.

The reason we're top is almost soley down to the same/main reasons we've had success in recent years, Salah, Van Dijk and Alisson.
