Lalana back. Which is good.
And Can should be sharper for his game against Utd.

L666KOP · « **Reply #3 on:** October 22, 2016, 05:29:38 pm »

1' West Brom to get us underway.
0-0

L666KOP · « **Reply #4 on:** October 22, 2016, 05:30:44 pm »

Fully expecting a rearguard West brom, hoping to replicate the Utd technique.
A win by 2 clear sees us go top

L666KOP · « **Reply #5 on:** October 22, 2016, 05:32:16 pm »

2' Can already settled into the holding role, a nice move down the left sees a lalana cross cleared

L666KOP · « **Reply #6 on:** October 22, 2016, 05:33:27 pm »

4' Liverpool with the ball as you'd expect.
Coutinho seeing plenty of the ball

L666KOP · « **Reply #7 on:** October 22, 2016, 05:34:48 pm »

5' West Brom started with a clear 532 formation.
Braver than Mouurinho.

L666KOP · « **Reply #8 on:** October 22, 2016, 05:36:03 pm »

6' Nice jinking run from Lalana, ball falls for Phil who's shot is blocked.
Already the game pattern is set.
Can we break them down.

Jake · « **Reply #9 on:** October 22, 2016, 05:37:03 pm »

Kop sounds in good voice

L666KOP · « **Reply #10 on:** October 22, 2016, 05:38:03 pm »

7' WB with a rare foray into our half, a well overhit cross drifts aimlessly out

Rush 82 · « **Reply #11 on:** October 22, 2016, 05:39:38 pm »

United certainly were a good preview for this lot. Speaking about it in theory is nothing compared to the reality

Matip and Lovren are going to have their work cut out knocking down all those long balls in.

L666KOP · « **Reply #12 on:** October 22, 2016, 05:41:04 pm »

10' WB had the ball for the last minute or so, not really penetrating.
They seem happy to leave us to it, and play a low block, only pressing when we get into their third

L666KOP · « **Reply #13 on:** October 22, 2016, 05:43:22 pm »

13' WB sat deep. Lalana seeing loads of action.

Rush 82 · « **Reply #14 on:** October 22, 2016, 05:45:03 pm »

11 men behind the ball - 6 in the backline - lordy, lordy

L666KOP · « **Reply #15 on:** October 22, 2016, 05:45:46 pm »

15' They're that deep, Milner is effectively a winger.
We continue to press and probe.
Bob, and Adam doing their best.
Mane quiet thus far

Jake · « **Reply #16 on:** October 22, 2016, 05:47:06 pm »

This is gonna be an 80% possession game ...

L666KOP · « **Reply #17 on:** October 22, 2016, 05:47:40 pm »

17' Croos whipped in Gerrard esque by hendo sees Milly nod over

L666KOP · « **Reply #18 on:** October 22, 2016, 05:50:01 pm »

20' Goal.
1-0

L666KOP · « **Reply #19 on:** October 22, 2016, 05:51:05 pm »

21' Mane finishes off a move that involves a dummy, crisp passing, and a neat finish.
No stopping that one.

L666KOP · « **Reply #20 on:** October 22, 2016, 05:53:33 pm »

24' We seemed buoyed by the goal. Finding space all over now.
Llaalalalalalnnnaaa is everywhere.

That curling, dipping cross over the head of the 3rd defender in line by Firmino was absolutely sublime.

The lad has some talent.

Over to Jake

Jake · « **Reply #23 on:** October 22, 2016, 05:55:10 pm »

24 This has been great so far, Can almost nicks in ahead of the keeper, a young Ben Foster, for 2. But doesn't get there.

Jake · « **Reply #24 on:** October 22, 2016, 05:55:55 pm »

25 FK to WBA.

Jake · « **Reply #25 on:** October 22, 2016, 05:56:28 pm »

26 - Hendo clears. Cap'n Henderson.

Jake · « **Reply #26 on:** October 22, 2016, 05:57:19 pm »

27 - FK to Liverpool. Fletcher shoves Lallana. We play it quick, Clyne with a BEAUTY across the box, noone can get on the end.

Jake · « **Reply #27 on:** October 22, 2016, 05:58:22 pm »

28 - Henderson with a Hollywood to Clyne. Just a bit too much sauce on it.

Jake · « **Reply #28 on:** October 22, 2016, 06:00:14 pm »

30 Karius blooters one out to the sideline, bad pass. Invites a WBA attack.

Jake · « **Reply #29 on:** October 22, 2016, 06:02:24 pm »

32 We break quickly, 3 on 2. Lallana from the edge of the box, a bit high and over

Jake · « **Reply #30 on:** October 22, 2016, 06:03:30 pm »

33 Milner crosses one in low, YBF gathers.

Rush 82 · « **Reply #31 on:** October 22, 2016, 06:04:20 pm »

From De Beeb (via Lfsea)

Roberto Firmino has had a hand in 17 goals (12 goals, 5 assists) for Liverpool in the Premier League in 2016. That's more than any other Reds player.

Jake · « **Reply #32 on:** October 22, 2016, 06:05:26 pm »

35 Lovely slow building passing,

2-0

Jake · « **Reply #33 on:** October 22, 2016, 06:06:26 pm »

35 COUTINHO makes it 2-0!! We have some lovely passes, but lose it, a backpass goes wrong and Mane slips to to Phil. He drops a hip, sells two players down the river and BANG in the near post.

Jake · « **Reply #34 on:** October 22, 2016, 06:07:42 pm »

37 Our passing is fucking sublime. I just found myself clapping, at home.

Jake · « **Reply #35 on:** October 22, 2016, 06:09:24 pm »

39 If that had have gone in I'd have jizzed all over the house.

Firmino plays a lovely skillful backheel in the box, Clyne lashes it over though

Jake · « **Reply #36 on:** October 22, 2016, 06:11:54 pm »

41 - We keep the ball, a lot. One more needed and ....

Wow what a pass, real high bent pass lashed into the box, Bobby only just doesn't get there.

Jake · « **Reply #37 on:** October 22, 2016, 06:13:03 pm »

43 Yacub is getting fiesty, is he going in the book? He should, a tackle goes in after the whistle has gone.

AND hes booked. Twat

L666KOP · « **Reply #38 on:** October 22, 2016, 06:14:22 pm »

Once we get a goal ahead we don't half look good.

Like a powerful machine.

A prettier version of Rafa's machine, not as clinical, but just as deadly.

Jake · « **Reply #39 on:** October 22, 2016, 06:15:18 pm »

44 To be fair to WBA, they're giving it a go. More than could be said for Utd.
