Topic: Half time: Liverpool 2-2 Fulham

[Keita Success]

Not really had a consistent period of control in this game.

Slow it down a little bit, and sustain some pressure.

4-2 the Reds.

[markedasred]

Nunez offering nothing.

Well there's the comedy value of his mom doing his hair.

[Redsnappa]

We need Endo on to shore up that defence.

[JJ Red]

Won't be popular but i think we have a problem with motivation and mind-set for the 'easier' games we should be winning.

Need a rocket at half-time and i would bring Endo on for Gravenberch to see if we can make ourselves a bit more solid. We can't just keep waiting for Fulham to walse through at will like they've been doing.

[keeby]

I dare say narratives are easier to create when they’re counter-factual guesswork.

C,mon mate hes not been great, i know its easy to say half time whoppers etc etc, and support the team, and all the usual its only half time, maybe my get him off may be premature, and i truly hope it is but he looks very nervy, i guess it highlights what allison brings to the party..

[Gnurglan]

Excellent goals from TAA and MacAllister. Our focus in defence however… We are the better side but can't be as soft as we were on their first goal. VVD is very high up and we have the ball but Matip gives it away and they got to counterattack when we were disorganised. 45 to go and with better focus we will win this.

[JackWard33]

MacAllister for that first goal is bizarre, goes to cover RB, drops into the backline looks over his shoulder sees Wilson thenlooks back at the ball and just lets Wilson score unchallenged

[Chakan]

Kelleher regressed because one went through his legs at pace 5 yards out and one was re directed 2 yards out

You people are hilarious at times

The defense was a shambles to let that happen, but don’t tell me you don’t think Allison saves both of them.

[Crosby Nick]

We have become so fucking porous. Even shit like Fulham can cut through us. Keepers having a tough time but we have to rally behind him as fans and the defenders better start rallying in front of him.

We hadn’t conceded at Anfield since September before today. We obviously do some things ok.

[Dree]

Missing Jones. He adds balance.

[Fitzy.]

Best two goal haul we’ve had in a while. Amazing strikes. Elsewhere…

Worst half time thread since the unspeakably awful preseason meltdowns.

[WhereAngelsPlay]

We'll be good.

[naYoRHa2b]

Alisson does some things okay.

[lgvkarlos]

Very poor defensively. Kelleher seems to have regressed, he wasn’t this poor.

Agree, get the feeling he wanted to leave and maybe it's had an effect.

Salah not squaring to Darwin at the end was so poor.

Indeed. Hysterical stuff.

[Schmidt]

The offside goal was poor too, pretty routine save and he palms it to the only opposition player nearby.

[rushyman]

Our midfield are nowhere near them off the ball, closing down is non existent

Nunez doesn't seem to know the offside rule and even Mo is waiting for the ball to arrive to him

[duvva 💅]

This thread does amuse me. So many can’t wait to slaughter anything that isn’t perfect.

We’ve been poor collectively but no one player has been completely awful. Some have looked good at times and made mistakes as well

But the shite talked about Kelleher is shameful

[slotmachine]

The referee has let Bassey away with 2 yellow cards.

He has also let Nunez off for 2 yellow cards with 2 of the most embarassing dives you will ever see. I blame the hairstyle for him playing like a quilt 

[jillcwhomever]

Our second half performances are normally better and today will need to be. Let's go to it Reds.

[lgvkarlos]

Alisson does some things okay.

Said this so many times, he masks so much.

[TipTopKop]

A poor goalkeeping performance can send ripples through the back 4. They'll be 2nd guessing their every lunge or tackle wondering if the fella behind them has got their back or not.

Let's hope they all calm down because Fulham should be nowhere near being level at the moment.

Sorry forgot Mac can do no wrong

I think Salah deserves some slack there, it was a high looping ball that he had to keep his eyes on. I don't think he could really glance to see if someone was there so he either crosses and hopes or takes the shot.

[duvva 💅]

I think he might and he might not. No one can say for certain so let’s slaughter Kelleher

[Coolie High]

Jones is very important to this midfield, especially if were going to play without a specialist DM.

[JackWard33]

Sorry forgot Mac can do no wrong

Settle down.. I don't think he's been good ... think the entire midfield was bad off the ball (actually the whole team )

[jillcwhomever]

You should know now Macca is always the one they blame. Despite others being invisible.

[duvva 💅]

I think if we’re gonna make a sub it should be Jones for Gravenberch

[A-Bomb]

Strange one for Nunez, gotta be the first game this season where he's not had 3 or 4 shots off in the first half!

Nice to see his link up with Salah seems to be developing, just a bit off - but there were a couple of interchanges where if it had clicked, we would have torn them a new arsehole.

Midfield defensively needs to work harder, we need to give Keheller a bit more protection, we've not got Ali the brick wall today and we need to work even harder to prevent the opposition space and time to shoot.

[jillcwhomever]

Sorry forgot Mac can do no wrong

Other players have been worse today in midfield.

[Syntexity]

Sloppy and disorganized. Defensively just terrible. Passing has been very poor. Our attack is not in tune today, running into eachother, wrong choices.

We were dominant and in control, then we scored and just completely off it after. Need an improvement and a kick up the arse.

Hopefully we will see a better second half. Klopp usually gives his players until around 60 minutes, but might feel the need to change one or two already. We need to defend our right side better, its just huge spaces left when making a poor pass.

Just go out and show that this is our home and that we want the win more.

Come on Liverpool!!!! YNWA!

Christ, just think what having to play behind that performance does for the goalie then

[Stockholm Syndrome]

Settle down.. I don't think he's been good ... think the entire midfield was bad off the ball (actually the whole team )

And on the ball I think Mac has been the best in the ball. I feel Szoboszlai has been under hitting his balls and Gravenberch absolutely blasting them

[Bobinhood]

coule more goals like that it'll be worth the price of admission. Fell like we will rip them a new one second half.

[rushyman]

The defense was a shambles to let that happen, but don’t tell me you don’t think Allison saves both of them.

I've seen him let those in yes

But even so, Ali is a world class keeper. For me the best in the world

Try to remember that's who you're comparing kelleher to.

[kavah]

Fulham look quite decent

[RyanBabel19]

Settle down.. I don't think he's been good ... think the entire midfield was bad off the ball (actually the whole team )

But leaptttt to his defence as soon as he's mentioned despite this

He can still track a man even if an attack develops in their position ffs, 'Trent' is no excuse for seeing an attack develop and just watching a player run behind you and finish

[Draex]

You shouldn't need your keeper to be in god mode every second of every game, the defence need to step up and stop being so passive.

[Red_Mist]

What a goal though!
