Topic: Half time: West Ham 1-0 Liverpool

[Draex]

Saved FSG a nice few quid though, eh?

It was Klopps signing, so stop talking shit.

[Kashinoda]

Let’s be honest, they’ve downed tools since the utd fa cup loss. All intensity and heart is gone.

They downed tools whilst being top of the league? Some amazing takes in this thread.

[PaddyPaned]

We’ve just hit a wall since the Atalanta game. Poor timing for one of our losing streaks…

[KevLFC]

Jesus look at that set piece - if your U14s set up that lazily you'd despair

Gakpo in the centre though, should be a cb area or a dm not a forward.

[lindylou100]

There's just something about Elliot I find really frustrating, he tries hard but  it's his decision making that's sus.

[Zimagic]

Paqueta on Mac Allister on 6' (no yellow or warning) - https://twitter.com/FutballGiants/status/1784191706667036916 & https://twitter.com/KaysonPapa/status/1784195027297583289

Straight red, btw

[Clint Eastwood]

For such a big lad Gakpo is pretty pathetic in the air. Dreadful for the goal and that awful header that led to Elliott slamming a shot into a side netting.

[Snail]

Mad that top four is even in the question, but here we are.

[Legs]

Get Gakpo/Endo off bring Salah/Nunez on.

Klopp looks like a man counting down the days too bet he cant wait for this to finish.

[Barryg21]

The manner of our the 4 goals (against palace, Everton and today)  combined with our current attack, would get you relegated if you did over a full season
Thats how mental the drop off has been

[[new username under construction]]

Slot watching this thinking "wtf I got myself into?"

I think he's watching saying, all these talented players and the tactics are terrible

[stockdam]

No discipline in defence. Slot will need to work on how we defend. It’s Keystone Kops at the back at times.

Let’s see who is prepared to scrap and fight.

[kezzy]

We just look flat and look like we’ve got nothing else left to try and change it. 

[TSC]

Usual pedestrian poor stuff.  Pre-season type and West Ham aren’t even assed either.

[Draex]

Mad that top four is even in the question, but here we are.

Got any of that glue left?

[BarryCrocker]

82 passes. We're down 1-0 against a team who've touched the ball once for every 4 of ours.

[lgvkarlos]

Are Clarke and Danns injured? I'm mystified why they aren't being used at this stage of the season.

Spot on.

[AndyMuller]

Yeah to be fair Klopp doesn’t look too bothered either.

End the season.

[Enders]

Bowen scored with his swede at Anfield

Shorter players score headers sometimes, just so happens he's done us twice, one being ahead of the defender with clever positioning, and today being found in between our defence with a decent ball in

[gerrardisgod]

One man attack again, get it out to Diaz and hope for some magic seems to be the only way of playing.

[QC]

Just get the three points.

[11 friends]

I've seen us play worse to be honest.Our left side has been decent,but the right side has been poor at both ends.Would like to see Baj get some minutes as Endo is ageing badly.

[JackWard33]

Gakpo in the centre though, should be a cb area or a dm not a forward.

That's the point - they're not set up at all.. they're jogging back
The players and the manager gave up during the derby and now we're running out the clock

[Paul_h]

Gravenberch looks lively and is moving the ball well.

can be a headless chicken at times. Cannot see the obvious pass.
Endo needs to be hooked. on a yellow, and passing a bit off. Get the Baj on. Elliot a bit wasteful. Expect Salah to be on

[Stockholm Syndrome]

For such a big lad Gakpo is pretty pathetic in the air. Dreadful for the goal and that awful header that led to Elliott slamming a shot into a side netting.

Said that a few months ago even when he is playing well, he isn't half shite at headers

[Mighty_Red]

Another lifeless insipid 1st half. What an awful send off for a legend.

Much work to do, but the comebacks have dried up. Be nice if we could come out and try and look like we want to score and win.

[StL-Dono]

Good god...   we're not playing that badly taken the whole 45 in total.  Same problem though is a 2 minute stretch of bad play always punishes us.  Been that way for over a month now.  Teams score from one or two chances and it takes us about ten before we even threaten the keeper. 

But I'm not seeing anything at all like the guys are trying.  I don't buy that at all.   

I do think we're most likely to score on a counter attack because, as better and more active as we were in the first 40 minutes as compared to Wed's match, we still are too slow once a team packs it in the box.  The problem is because team's sit back and play for the counter it becomes hard to counter attack off a counter attack.   

Ah well...   Someone in green and white will find the net in the 2nd. 

[chromed]

We’ll still win this

[whtwht]

Shouldve played the kids .

[koptommy93]

Slot watching this thinking "wtf I got myself into?"

A shitload of money regardless of how it goes

[DelTrotter]

Hopefully Stef is on soon.

[Adeemo]

He had a great period mid season but he's looked exactly like a 30+ year old bargain buy from Stuttgart last few games. Woeful there.

I don’t even think that period was that great, it got overrated due to everyone expecting so little from him. Not saying he wasn’t decent enough but it was no more than that.

[elkun]

Why do you exclude the Fulham game?

Because our play has been far below average the last 7 or 8 games mate. Having one game where we actually put some decent effort in it, doesnt change that.

[darragh85]

Endo was a fine back up option but can't be our first choice in that position.

Defence is a mess. That's the main problem . The attack is fuvked from the pressure of always having to dig us out.

[stockdam]

If the ball in crossed then our centre backs should be getting to it. We all stand watching each other and nobody attacks the ball.

[DangerScouse]

It was Klopps signing, so stop talking shit.

Your outright devotion to defending the owners at all costs is really something.

Last few games so reminiscent of last season. Toothless.

[killer-heels]

Mad that top four is even in the question, but here we are.

If Spurs win 5 of their last 6 games and we draw one then we would get top four. Its fine.

[smicer07]

Shouldve played the kids .

So people can slag them off instead?

[Clint Eastwood]

Diaz best player yet again.

Flatters to deceive. Works hard, but he gets a lot of credit for creating nothing.

[elkun]

82 passes. We're down 1-0 against a team who've touched the ball once for every 4 of ours.

Those 82 passes are mostly between Quansah, VVD and Alisson.
