4 of our 5 in the back are world class... and still....

Shit player who has never scored for opposition team scores against Liverpool, how many times?

Endo isn’t good enough once again, the equaliser all started to build with him dawdling on the ball and then he’s all over the place just doesn’t protect the defence whatsoever.

Frustrating. Their goal came from nothing really, not that we’ve been amazing or anything. Diaz & Jota could both have done better but that’s just the way it’s going right now.

Sick to death of trying to play it out from the back when a fucking wallop up the pitch will do, especially so close to half time. I don't care how pretty it is, when we're leading just get rid and we can talk about it later. Against fucking shite like Fulham. Enough, or the work we've put in for months will mean precisely dick.

That's just what we are right now. Play okay, not good but okay. Don't create a lot, but you can't have everything. Give them a two minute spell at the end of the half, and predictably fail to prevent them from scoring during it.

Apart from a moment of brilliance from Trent, we have again been pretty poor. We spend an age knocking it around at the back before punting it long. It’s like we don’t know how to build through our midfield. Then we do kamikaze defending right before half time. So poor.

Gods_Left_Boot · « **Reply #47 on:** April 21, 2024, 05:23:24 pm »

Elliott and Grav as the 8s offer very little control. Game too stretched and end to end, inevitably ended up inviting pressure and touches in our box and conceding.

Bincey · « **Reply #48 on:** April 21, 2024, 05:23:28 pm »

Jota done some ok things but then also gifting it to them easily as well.

PeterTheRed ... · « **Reply #49 on:** April 21, 2024, 05:23:31 pm »

We are 2 points from the top of the table, with 5 1/2 games to go, and I can't wait for the season to be over. I can understand why Jurgen is leaving. We are all tired, very tired ...

Hestoic · « **Reply #50 on:** April 21, 2024, 05:23:33 pm »

Need Nunez to come on and bully their defence. So tame at the moment.

thaddeus · « **Reply #51 on:** April 21, 2024, 05:23:37 pm »

Soft as play dough. Apart from Virgil and Quansah nobody on that pitch can win a 50/50.

Fromola · « **Reply #52 on:** April 21, 2024, 05:23:47 pm »

No resilience to this team at all at the minute. Would have said at half time we need more goals because it's never finishing 1-0 but we couldn't even hang on till half time.

What's with the arrogant celebration as well? Get the game won first, how about that.

jillcwhomever · « **Reply #53 on:** April 21, 2024, 05:23:56 pm »

We have a strong bench and another half to put it right.

lindylou100 · « **Reply #54 on:** April 21, 2024, 05:23:59 pm »

Why are we so slow and ponderous on the ball again? Is it injury management or have we just run out of steam?

KevLFC · « **Reply #55 on:** April 21, 2024, 05:24:06 pm »

The couple of passages of play before their goal... Endo looks way off the pace, bizarre and he's been rested too in recent games.

OMG haha it was 3-0 when I last checked!!

stockdam · « **Reply #57 on:** April 21, 2024, 05:24:08 pm »

Slept our way to a 1-1 draw.

I’m not sure what our midfield are doing but they neither offer themselves for the pass when we are defending nor do they win tackles nor do they mark tightly when we haven’t got the ball.

It’s another lack-lustre display when we gift goals.

Brilliant goal byTrent but other than him only Gakpo is trying. Jota and maybe Diaz have been decent. Midfield has been crap and the way we panic in defence is worrying.

TALBERT · « **Reply #58 on:** April 21, 2024, 05:24:09 pm »

We can’t keep a clean sheet… We need another CB…

We look so fucking slow… Ali and the two CB’s just passing it around in the box again…

Get Macca and Salah on

At the moment they seem content to limp to third

Side note, when did Fulham fans turn into such twats? The jeering of Elliott is properly weird behaviour.

Shambolic for the goal which is bitterly disappointing as I think we were worth a 1-0 lead.

medley · « **Reply #61 on:** April 21, 2024, 05:24:15 pm »

Feels like the last day of the season with nothing to play for with how slow we are on the ball. Ponderous and too safe going forward with no enough real intention to fly forward

CS111 · « **Reply #62 on:** April 21, 2024, 05:24:16 pm »

No idea what our tactics are anymore. Think that 4 1/2 games without a goal from open play.
Sideways, back and repeat.
Can some of our players try and take theirs on and get at them. We are a shadow of the good old days
Way to easy to play against im afraid

Gnurglan · « **Reply #63 on:** April 21, 2024, 05:24:20 pm »

Even. Great freekick from TAA! We still have the same difficulties playing the ball from defence to midfield. That said I also think we gamble a little in possession. Expect to see MacAllister early in the second half.

TSC · « **Reply #64 on:** April 21, 2024, 05:24:25 pm »

Just no pace to anything. Dead slow, stop, reverse and concede the obligatory goal, while missing what odd chance we create from open play.

UntouchableLuis · « **Reply #65 on:** April 21, 2024, 05:24:33 pm »

Mo on for Gakpo. Put Jota in the middle.

Dazzer23 · « **Reply #66 on:** April 21, 2024, 05:24:34 pm »

Fulham pretty poor but you somehow knew they’d get a goal from nowhere

Forgot that was even on! That does help a little, if not for the inevitable late win for United or 7-0 final for city if Coventry win

swoopy · « **Reply #68 on:** April 21, 2024, 05:24:47 pm »

Their only real chance of the half and it wasn't even a simple finish either. Typical Liverpool of recent times. I still think we'll win 1-3 though.

Clint Eastwood · « **Reply #69 on:** April 21, 2024, 05:24:50 pm »

Our attacking patterns are so bad. Feels like every counter ends the same way. A slow pass out wide that is slightly behind the man.

Darren G · « **Reply #70 on:** April 21, 2024, 05:24:51 pm »

Same old shite. Pass it around the back, back to Alisson, speculative Hollywood ball forward, rinse and repeat. Shit defending, toothless up front.

Fruity · « **Reply #71 on:** April 21, 2024, 05:24:52 pm »

Great goal by Trent but bar the diaz chance not really creating.

Jota looks nowhere near match fit.

All we had to do was get to the break and not concede but that's seemingly impossible for us at the moment and now Fulham will have a 2nd wind.

Anyway a couple of changes might shake things up.

He's still not got all his rhythm back, it takes a few games.

Its like watchin Wolves play against Arsenal and we are Wolves... We are so god awful and slow.

A quality DM this summer is a must.

RedSince86 · « **Reply #75 on:** April 21, 2024, 05:25:03 pm »

We have no ability to control a game when we lead, it's just chaos.

So fucking frustrating.

jepovic · « **Reply #76 on:** April 21, 2024, 05:25:04 pm »

Our midfield is so weak.
Harvey a complete passenger in offense and defense.
Graven tries a bit, but he's just not very good.
Endo out of form.

I think our front three has been decent, although Jota's touch has been poor

NarutoReds · « **Reply #77 on:** April 21, 2024, 05:25:08 pm »

Depressing stuffs. But we are still going to win this I believe.

Tactically, we just love playing from the back, aren't we?

Mister Flip Flop · « **Reply #78 on:** April 21, 2024, 05:25:11 pm »

We are finished as a side. Yeah we may go on to sneak this game but there is something very very wrong with this group of players all of a sudden.

Haggis36 · « **Reply #79 on:** April 21, 2024, 05:25:12 pm »

What exactly is the tactical plan here, just keep blamming it long and hope the attacker can do something the 25% of the time it doesn’t just immediately concede possession?

The lack of cohesion or anything vaguely resembling build up play in the middle/attacking third is chronic.
