Topic: Half time: Liverpool 0-1 Fulham

[rushyman]

We have won it multiple times only for it to be deemed a foul. How can they be tenacious?

They were

We look like we're running in treacle at times. Jota our best player

[Fromola]

Get Virgil off now. He's not himself so clearly hasn't recovered from sickness.

Surprised he's starting given he was sent home ill the other day. If you're slightly off it it's going to impact at this level. Coote will be looking to send him off now.

[the_red_pill]

People don't learn. This season we're more tactical.
And we had a fight in the FA Cup over the weekend.

2nd Half we'll be a completely different side.

[TALBERT]

Pass it bloody quicker

[Funky_Gibbons]

Shock news. Sometimes they don’t

Yup, some more than others.

[Mighty_Red]

Really poor goal to concede, esp when it was VVDs not being sharp enough. They were already set up to frustrate us and we've just gifted them a game plan.

Will be hard to break them down, with very little creativity out there. Probably need Elliott a bit deeper as he can't get the ball further forward.

Subs will be important as always.

[rushyman]

Was hammered in with Van Dijk obscuring his view, can hardly blame Kelleher

All came from Ibou ignoring him and hammering it out fir a throw

if we speed up the play

[meady1981]

I for one am shocked that this disjointed team of kids and not our best players aren’t playing like a well oiled attacking juggernaut. Shocked. We’re usually so good in the first half.

[OkieRedman]

I didn't think we were that poor besides for their goal. The counter press was poor? How so? We won it several times in great area's. That was inevitably followed up by a poor pass. I think it was a ok half bar some one or two really poor mistakes.

[Funky_Gibbons]

Probably due to your endless snipes about him.

Endless? Wow be interesting to see some evidence of this.

We can't keep waiting for the seocnd half to turn up.

[David Struhme]

Can't believe Fulham fans are booing Elliot, he's just a kid

[Nick110581]

They haven’t lost this season when scoring first.

[Bobinhood]

fs it wasn't that bad guys. We are clearly a much better team and they only got the one shot they scored with. Klopp will pull a few stings, Gomez will get his goal and we will win the game the tie and the cup.

Team of kids?

Bradley is the only kid, Gravenberch if you’re being generous.

[rushyman]

Pass it bloody quicker

Doing my head in

I don't mind posession  to create openings and run the other team but just standing there with the ball 0-1 isnt going to work

[StL-Dono]

Was hammered in with Van Dijk obscuring his view, can hardly blame Kelleher

It was from close to and didn't it go between VVD's legs?  Ali MIGHT have stopped it but it's ridiculous anyone saying Ali WOULD have stopped it.

[duvva 💅]

Endless? Wow be interesting to see some evidence of this.

I’m gonna take a wild guess that any match thread after he’s played and Kellehers own thread will have enough

[killer-heels]

Just keep it tight and we will no doubt win this.

[Gerry83]

Only just got back so missed the first half.  Worth sticking it on for the second?

If you’re in a masochistic mood, then sure…

[RyanBabel19]

They want it more. More tenacious in tackle, pressing more

We're so slow and ponderous. Can't expect miracles from young Bradley

We are no threat at all there. Will go 0-2 before it goes 1-1 if it continues like that

We've been slow but they just fucking dive more

Any pressure and their legs cease to work whereas we tend to actually play football and battle for the ball

Rolling around like they're trying to ensure the pitch is as flat as possible.

[Bobinhood]

We can't keep waiting for the seocnd half to turn up.

oh yes we can too. Watch and see.

[Clint Eastwood]

Give him a break. Imagine how hard it is to only play once in a blue moon then be expected to perform like a hero.

It's not performing like a hero, but if you look at the goals he's conceded this season there's a bit of a pattern. His positioning isn't right. I get that he doesn't play often but he's still a goalkeeper. He trains every day, and he's 25 so we should expect more from him at this stage.

[harryc]

Garbage from all involved

Dud VVD have a ear infection his coordination all over the place

[Jm55]

They haven’t lost this season when scoring first.

To be fair they went ahead with about 10 minutes left against us and still lost so I wouldn’t read too much into that.

[Fromola]

Just keep it tight and we will no doubt win this.

A draw won't be too bad given the absences, should be stronger for 2nd leg.

[Gerry83]

Just keep it tight and we will no doubt win this.

Based on hope or logic?

[Mister Flip Flop]

Absolutely crazy that Coote is allowed ref our games.

[Jm55]

A draw won't be too bad given the absences, should be stronger for 2nd leg.

Whose back for the second leg that’s out for this one?

[Andy @ Allerton!]

Least of our concern at the minute, we are doing nothing.

[duvva 💅]

Can't believe Fulham fans are booing Elliot, he's just a kid

Proper half hearted isn’t it. Doesn’t really fit the pantomime Villan role

[Bobinhood]

Hes got Cooties.

Let's have it straight...we had one half-arsed effort on goal the entire half.....we were ponderous and unimaginative....big step up up needed second half

[rushyman]

A draw won't be too bad given the absences, should be stronger for 2nd leg.

Who?

It's next week

[Jm55]

Who?

It's next week

2 weeks but the point is still valid.

[OkieRedman]

Bunch of bedwetters in here.

[Funky_Gibbons]

I’m gonna take a wild guess that any match thread after he’s played and Kellehers own thread will have enough

Fine, please take a look.

I’m not even sure saying three out of four shots have been almost straight at him is having a pop at him.

[harryc]

So many obsessed with the Ref even when we are shite

[Wabaloolah]

Not watched it in any great depth but we don't look great from what I've seen, almost like we have 10 players unavailable or something
