Topic: Half time: Liverpool (1) 1-0 (3) Atalanta

[TheShanklyGates]

We've given ourselves a puncher's chance which is really all you can ask after last week's shitshow. Need to be more composed in the final third once again, we can ill afford to waste chances like the one Mo had when through on goal.

Goes without saying that the next goal is crucial - score it and it's anyone's game, concede it and we're done.

[frag]

Better than last week, but still not great and just dreadfully casual in the final 3rd.

Jota and Elliot, don’t think the players on the pitch are going to win us the game.

Dom’s been shite. Trent and Robbo very good.

[Caps4444]

Their closing down is unbelievable….i don’t think I’ve ever seen a team not give us a second on the ball.

[Nick110581]

Think we have been great in parts. Mo should have scored the one on one.

[oxenstierna]

Jota, Elliot and Nunez on please

[Caligula?]

Oh, Mo. We should be 2-0 up here.

Once or twice I think we've being far too intricate in attack yet again. Just have a pop at goal ffs.

[RedDeadRejection]

Fucking hell the ceaseless drone of singing the same shite gets annoying with these European clubs

[Dave D]

Who will be the new Wijnaldum?

[Lynndenberries]

An early second half goal and we can put them under real pressure. Our decision making has been off at times, but much better performance than last week.

[JRed]

Should be atleast 2 up if not all the way back. WTF was Salah doing with that chance? Wouldn’t even expect Beto to miss that! Horrendous miss.

[LovelyCushionedHeader]

Playing really well considering how they press. They'll tire too.

Also full credit to the tactical innovation. Would love to see a heat map for some of the players. Salah showing up as a 6, Robertson as a 9.

[Samie]

No expectations, just win the game.

Saying that Mo should;ve scored when clean through.   

[ScubaSteve]

Fucking hell the ceaseless drone of singing the same shite gets annoying with these European clubs

Yeah it’s awful. Can’t even watch the game properly

[Wool]

Mo should have buried that chance… we’ve played well though and their high press/man to man marking isn’t as effective when we have Alisson, Trent and Macca as the 6.

[DelTrotter]

Decent performance, good control and we're in a good position to kick on but does feel like we're fucking ourselves over with this attack and just ticking the clock down for them. But hopefully the subs get us the goals and its a stroke of genius.

They'll fold if we go 2 up I think, they looked panic stricken for a while after the 1st. I believe!!

[rushyman]

The finishing isn't just going to start up again overnight

For some reason they just can't finish their dinner.

[M7 Heckler]

That handball was a red

[Gili Gulu]

That attempted chip by Salah summed up our finishing since the United cup game quite well.

[Higgins79]

Loads better than in recent weeks, Trent makes so much difference. Loads of pace and power in the bench. Up the reds.

[AndyMuller]

We are terrible with the ball lately, Szob especially.

[Legs]

There lad lucky not to get a red for that handball.

[Magz50]

I can’t believe how many through on goal chances we miss. I think we can win this, Atalanta look All over the place!

[Father Ted]

So far so good. Could have been even better but for that poor Salah miss.

[Zlen]

Salah is shockingly out of form.

[Kopenhagen]

Shocked Mo missed that.

[KurtVerbose]

Their closing down is unbelievable….i don’t think I’ve ever seen a team not give us a second on the ball.

They will tire/

[Number 7]

I'm going to get absolutely lynched for this.
But for Salah to not even hit that shot on target with that chance is just fucking woeful. There are no other words to describe it.

[Draex]

Started really well but since the 15th minute bar Trent our passing has been terrible.

Szobo absolutely invisible bar losing the ball.

Our forwards seem so fucking nervous, extra touches and losing it every time, sort it out, won’t go through if we don’t start scoring.

[mullyred94]

Should be 2-0 up and that’s a red card is it not?

Come on lads big 45 can do this

[NarutoReds]

Be careful Diaz... Already yellow carded in in half-time.

[mikey_LFC]

Should their player have been sent off for the handball? LFC commentary team seemed to think so.

[danm77]

Started well,but that last 20mins or so was very poor. Mo has a golden chance and squandered it, we’ve been sloppy at the back and we’re running out of ideas.

[Gnurglan]

Tacical game. I think we have created some good opportunities. Salah really needs to put that other chance away. Still in it.

[Hestoic]

If we don't go through, it'll be our own fault. Giving some really careless and unnecessary chances away.

Feels like we're being a bit too intricate around the box but seen enough to think we can at least tie the aggregate score in the second half.

[HeartAndSoul]

Fuck sake you need to be taking chances like this when you have a mountain to climb 

[elkun]

Am getting annoyed and have had enough of big players missing easy chances as Salah. Its frustrating as fuck. We had the entire 45min to score a 2nd and we didnt do enough. Made up for Gakpo. Has been really positive

[MonsLibpool]

We look prepared tactically and we're bypassing their press very well.

Trent and Alisson's long passes are underrated.

Let's cut out those sloppy giveaways and ideally we score early in the 2nd half.

[OkieRedman]

THey try to walk it into the net at one turn instead of shooting, the next moment Salah instead of committing the keeper and probably laying it off to Diaz for a tap in tries a insane shot and screws it it so badly it was comical. 

[Snail]

Beginning to think we won’t score another goal from open play for the rest of the season.

[Romford_Red]

As much as it would have been nice, not a red.

The ref cannot be sure Diaz is getting that ball, so no clear goal scoring opportunity.
