Liverpool FC Forum / Re: Mohamed Salah - Best in the World *

« Last post by Red1976 on Today at 12:39:56 am »

There's frustration everywhere isn't there. Everyone's a bit sickened from the fans to the players to the management team. Salah is getting a touch because he's as far away as my first shite from where we need him to be and are used to him being.
I don't get this the attack is better than the defense or vice versa argument anyway. The defending side of our game is the whole team, from the forwards. If we're leaking goals it's on everyone. It causes countless arguments in dressing rooms and all. The amount of times there's an argument at half time or full time about where the problem came from is nuts, everyone blaming everyone.  If we're not scoring goals it tends to be the strikers misfiring so it's highlighted more and easier to pin on 1 player and call them a useless bastard.
Just get the season over now, I think we all need a break. Salah has been exemplary for us. He can be forgiven a little tantrum

Sorry I have to disagree. Salah has started to act like he is a player who should not be dropped and that he is the main man; a player Liverpool cannot do without.  No player is bigger than the club and IMO it is time to think about getting a big fee for Salah and saying goodbye. Another poster mentioned "Bob P" and how he was not huge on sentiment  - that ruthlessness meant Liverpool were successful and that is what is needed now IMO.

Jonathan Pearce on MOTD has clearly received a phone call and asked to say that Taylor noticed that Areola had an injury.
Not sure if commentary is live or recorded afterwards, but there is absolutely no way Pearce makes that comment in game time. No one else had a clue what was going on.
Another reason for the audio to be made available either during the game, or handed over immediately after each and every game to both clubs, so they can assess etc.
Do not allow the PGMOL time to influence, adjust, contact media etc. Allow teams to hear it in game and hand it over after every game. It is the only way to improve standards.

They need to be mic'd up. We need to hear them in real time.

Huh? The first half was… well, deader than the eponymous dead horse.

Lower or upper?

This summed it up for me.



We allowed an employee to be assaulted by an official.

You're right. This and the Spurs game bring them in to disrepute and clearly show PGMOL are not fit for purpose. I've said it before, but it's time for a root and branch reboot of the whole thing. It's a cartel that needs to be broken up. The audio from the Spurs game was damning, but met with a shrug of the shoulders. How bad does it need to get?

Just checked this out of interest.

Feyenoord average 62% possession and complete 85% of their passes.

Liverpool average 62% possession and complete 86% of their passes.

So about the same as Benfica when Nunez was ripping up the League.

You're in for a surprise because the only similarity is a close enough formation and heavy pressing without the ball. On the ball, unless won high up the pitch which they're good at, it's actually not get the ball 'forward and fast'. There is a an obsession with control and a methodical approach to opening up the space that the wingers at the top of the pitch can exploit. It's not quite City level but it certainly differs from how we play now.

How about the times they do win the ball high up the pitch?

As for City is that the team who play with Haaland as a out and out 9 who rarely gets involved in the build up.?

Liverpool FC Forum / Re: LFC's next manager - chat and informed speculation

« Last post by Dim Glas on Today at 12:33:50 am »

If you want ambitious players who are going to take you to the next level then you need to sell the project. You need a manager who can convince the player of two things the project and that the manager will improve the player. That is why we were able to sign Van Dijk and also why we have been able to keep hold of our best players.

We have also been able to recruit outstanding young players because they know they will get a chance under Klopp.

If you look back to how we became a big club then it was the ability of Shanks to sell the club to the likes of St John when we were a second division club. That is a manager telling a player the club is going places and that he will make them a better player. How does that work when you have a Sporting Director in charge of transfers?

But that’s what’s been the case here anyway? And nothing changes regards a player being able to speak with the coach, that still happens in all the leagues around Europe when this is the usual way of working.

The club fucked up here playing it down. Should’ve called blue murder and demanded all at PMGOL step down.

Imagine if it had happened to a United player under Ferguson?
