Constant panic on their final 3rd from us
Get Harvey on at half time … we need some patience and creativity

Terrible game. As I said pre-match, this fixture has a tendency to go against everyone’s predictions.

The annoying thing was we started well, they were shitting the bed then we just decided to not pass it to a team mate and then it went to the standard turgid slow shite.

Gerry83 · « **Reply #123 on:** December 17, 2023, 05:25:13 pm »

They were always coming with a Burnley-esque spoil football approach and fair fcks to them theyve done it well.

We’re not in good form and theres only so many times I can hear Neville and Carragher talk about how every Liverpool fan thought we’d smash them today… which Carragher has fallen into thr trap of agreed with - the moron!

Woeful game! Sobo and Salah have been awful. No good attacking patterns and Nunez may as well not exist up there.

Hope for better in the second half

Thiago? I wouldn't be surprised if he be off in Jan or the summer

Why would we get rid of our best midfielder mid season??

How are we not beating manure B team? Endo so far so good, Salah hasn't clicked and Szboss is having a poor game.

TepidT2O · « **Reply #126 on:** December 17, 2023, 05:25:32 pm »

Luton will be happy with the score. Their game plan going exactly as planned so far.

Gaz123456 · « **Reply #127 on:** December 17, 2023, 05:25:45 pm »

Needs a big team talk from Klopp here. Too many players playing the occasion rather than the poor opponents.

Not seen Salah and Trent be this wasteful for a long time.

Gakpo and Elliott to come on after 60 mins.

We'll still win 2-0

sminp · « **Reply #128 on:** December 17, 2023, 05:25:48 pm »

Been absolutely dominant and then Mo and Szobo picking up the ball in good areas and following it up with a shit pass. Get those passes right and we win. Very frustrating so far and giving those fouls against Nunez and Endo was a joke, neither was a foul.

The pre match thread was 95% people shitting it to be fair so not really.

Most of the media chat and a good few on here.

Nah minute Bruno was out I knew it and a lot of people knew that it was going to be like this with them trying for a 0-0.

Tonyh8su · « **Reply #131 on:** December 17, 2023, 05:25:59 pm »

Nunez is rivalling Djibril Cisse for offside laziness.

Salah and Dom are killing us.

Mo passing back to their keeper when there are free men to pass to in the box is agonising.

Gary Neville's narrative this week is the Anfield crowd. Shouldn't be allowed to commentate on our games our Manc games.

Father Ted · « **Reply #132 on:** December 17, 2023, 05:26:00 pm »

Rotten half. Having no ambitions or expectations beyond a 0-0 or a lucky smash and grab suits United, but we’ve been largely awful. The front three being all woefully out of form doesn’t help, Diaz has probably been the best of them.

Someone needs to remind Nunez the offside rule is in effect, he’s so frequently offside. Not singling him out particularly as no one’s been great, but it gets frustrating. Szoboszlai had a poor half, as has our entire righthand side. Hopefully Klopp sorts it.

Mister Flip Flop · « **Reply #133 on:** December 17, 2023, 05:26:06 pm »

Oliver will be itching to send Nunez off so I'd sub him for Cody at half time

groove · « **Reply #134 on:** December 17, 2023, 05:26:20 pm »

Tsimikas must be fuming with these great overlaps he's making and being ignored every time. Play him in for gods sake.

In reality it very rarely happens though. Anyone thinking it'd be 5 or 6 needs their heads checking. After last season their main aim is to keep it to 0-0

Just got this funny feeling we are really going to click in the second half.....

Cafe De Paris · « **Reply #138 on:** December 17, 2023, 05:26:34 pm »

We have not been playing well recently despite results. Just hope we show up for the 2nd half. Come on red men ffs.

Syntexity · « **Reply #139 on:** December 17, 2023, 05:27:12 pm »

We have been the better team, but our quality on the ball is really poor. Szob seems completely out of it, he has been woeful with the ball and more a hindrance. Nunez is off it, he still offers some danger but his temparement might get him sent off. We dont look like scoring unless its a worldie from Trent og a set piece with Virg. Energy and press has been good though. Maybe Elliott and Gakpo for Szob and Nunez.

We have to improve a lot on that and its worrying that we are so sloppy. We seem to need Trent to make something happen. If we can get some cool and composure in the thirs half and in front of the goal we look like winning.

Come on Liverpool!!!! YNWA

Well? Perhaps defensively but they have not really done much else.

Was being sarcastic.

art03 · « **Reply #141 on:** December 17, 2023, 05:27:27 pm »

Easy games like these seems like a problem for our current team. We need to play like we are behind to see the best of this team. Endo seems to be the only one that knows how to pass the ball today. Grav is having a good match too but can't seem to link with others around him.

Frustrating watch. Atmosphere is dead but we’ve been so sloppy it’s hard to blame them. Don’t know what’s happened to our attack but they’ve been poor for weeks. Nunez constantly offside and getting cheap yellows, Szobo a different player since the last international break.

I’d be keen to take Nunez off to be honest. He’s been terrible that half.

Also, it’s criminal that we haven’t tested Onana much when he’s clearly shitting himself.

Nunez has always been enigmatic but he was always a goal threat last season, he's not been for a while now. Said for weeks we need him to be coming good in these games to get the first goal, particularly without Jota, instead we're relying on worldies or set pieces to break teams down.

They were noisy at the beginning when the team were better and at least started with a bit of tempo. But the players need to give them something as well, and we've not done enough.

In a game against this lot, the team shouldn’t have to give anything at all for the crowds to get going. The ground should be fucking bouncing, it should be venomous. They’d absolutely shit themselves and crumble if so.

Ghost Town · « **Reply #145 on:** December 17, 2023, 05:27:39 pm »

Honestly these are dogshit. The worst team to rock up at Anfield this season.

Just move the ball fast and they'll be bamboozled .

WorldChampions · « **Reply #146 on:** December 17, 2023, 05:27:42 pm »

We've given them all the encouragement they need. Barely tested their goal despite being all over them. Not helped by Nunez constantly drifting offside and Salah/Dom messing up passes.

Red_Mist · « **Reply #147 on:** December 17, 2023, 05:27:46 pm »

Jürgen will sort them out second half. Come on Redmen 💪

Gerry83 · « **Reply #148 on:** December 17, 2023, 05:27:48 pm »

You could make an argument for taking any of them off - ideally take the yellow cards off but Sobo and Mo have been arguably United levels of poor

I wouldn't class him as our best midfielder. He is now getting on a bit, doesn't seem to have the legs anymore. Yes his passing is great but we need someone with passing, legs and doesn't get injured so often

damomad · « **Reply #150 on:** December 17, 2023, 05:27:51 pm »

Pretty much playing as we have done over the last 4 or so league games. 1 goal should win it. Come on redmen!

A guy who has the badges but doesn't understand football. Endo was perfectly entitled to clear the ball, Amrabat stoops down, which is dangerous play, Endo catches him midriff and he goes down holding his head. You wonder what refs study to get those nice big badges?

Probably what person's face is on the UAE currency.

Need Curtis on here pronto. Get a lad on who can actually find a team mate with a pass in the attacking third.

WorldChampions · « **Reply #155 on:** December 17, 2023, 05:28:58 pm »

Wouldn't mind Gakpo for Nunez and Harvey for Dom at HT to be honest. These are shite so just keep the ball and drag them around the pitch, they'll switch off eventually.

ONE touch in our area they had. no worries.

Fruity · « **Reply #158 on:** December 17, 2023, 05:29:17 pm »

I thought Endo has done ok but worried about him getting a 2nd yellow. Salah and sloz can't seem to hit a pass. Trent not really involved. Diaz has done ok.

We need to up it massively and start playing football as this has smash n grab written all over it

alonsoisared · « **Reply #159 on:** December 17, 2023, 05:29:28 pm »

Get Salah in the middle, Darwin off for Elliot, Trent to play as a normal right back again.
