Shut the fuck up and put some respek on Lucas name playboy

Indeed, some of our fans are an embarrassment, really.

[sms1986]

Only just got in. Sounds a lot like the early kick off momentum wise? One goal changing everything.


[You may have an iPhone but you are still using the free version of Tapatalk and spamming us with that knowledge]

Possibly as I didn't watch that match, but City still managed to hold on - I think we'll not only hold on, but we'll score a couple more.

[Rush 82]

What a goal from Firmino eh lads - cool as fuck - one touch to control, a shimmy around the defender and passes it past the despairing Schmeicel.

Also, I'm loving Sturridge in the middle - he's both a link and a nightmare for the defenders - they're being dragged all over the place as they follow him

[Fiasco]

What an incredible analysis buddy keep it up

I will because of your motivation. It's people like you who keep me going and inspire me.

[Funky_Gibbons]

If that was Karius in goal, I don't think anyone would be questioning his pass out to Lucas.

If it was Lovren making the mistake it'd be 100% his fault.

[Henry Gale]

Lucas shouldn't of even been put under that sort of pressure in the first place. That ball wasn't on with Leicester pressing high. Just kick the fucking ball up field keeper. This obsession we have of playing the ball out from the back at all times has caused us so many unnecessary problems. We just don't have the players to handle it.

I thought we would have fucked that off when Brendan went. Obviously not.

We're 2-0 up, have a goal kick, Leicester have at least 5 players around our penalty area. You don't play a quick pass to a defender who's even closer to the goal-line than you. No matter if you're called Mignolet or Karius. Lucas is to blame for the goal 100% as he is the one who had an absolute brain-fart. However, that goal-kick by Mignolet was a horrible decision...

Is right. what possible advantage does it give the team to pass the ball horizontally from our own goal line to our own corner? kick the fucking ball up. We are continually under pressure when playing balls like that out from the back.

Great first half bar the mistake. Look great going forward.

[Purple Red]

Encouragingly fantastic performance blighted by an unacceptable error. Lucas has a really good game so far but that is just inexcusable at this level. We were coasting and enjoying ourselves - now this has completely put us under pressure again. Klopp will have to really work on the players at half time so they don't implode. Other than that negativity there have been so many positives. Leicester couldn't cope with our intensity and you could definitely see our superior fitness levels shining through at times. Our pace in attack has been blistering at times with Sturridge playing his role really well. The goals were delightful. Good crisp passing followed by cool finishes. Worthy of the occasion of the new stand. Let's hope we can kick on and get the three points in the second half. Leicester haven't shown that they deserve anything more.

[LFC when it suits]

Lucas fanboy myself, but that was one of the worst blunders I've seen. He should have hoofed it, and he had plenty of time to do that. I prefer Lucas hoofing over Mignolet.

We pass from the back. That's how we play. I would rather concede a couple goals like that every season (which will happen no doubt) than play hoof ball football.

Proper signature material that.

[Waybach]

We are so good going forward.

Lucas, though. Don't tell me no one saw that coming. But he's 'match-fit' and all that.

Lucas always does one stupid thing per game it's amazing how he can make a pointless foul or leave others expoed he could've passed to Wijnaldum but he's braindead.

[Caston]

Hopefully we can extend this lead and give Grujic some game time. Has a very bright future

[rich87]

What is so frustrating is we are so good at buying attacking players. But when it comes to Defense we don't seem to have a clue.

Square pegs in round holes for far to long.

But the first 35 minutes were ace.

[TheShanklyGates]

We are very good. Lucas is fantatic, just one fuck up in 45mins and everything changes  Think we kill them early in the 2nd half

Steady on there mate, it was only a mistake.

[JustDan]

But would Karius have made that pass in the first place? That is the issue here.

What is wrong with the pass? Lucas had plenty of space but had an unintentional fuck up. It happens.

[Suareznumber7]

Our players completely changes the momentum of a game we were coasting in by passing the ball across his 6 yard box for a tap in for the other tea and you're actually calling people negative whingers because they are annoyed at it?

You are one of the biggest negative whingers on this site.  Every post in every thread has a negative tone to it.  Fucking grow up a bit will ya

[Solomon Grundy]

Lucas fanboy myself, but that was one of the worst blunders I've seen. He should have hoofed it, and he had plenty of time to do that. I prefer Lucas hoofing over Mignolet.

 They were both at fault.

[Butcher Knife Roberto]

True but we were leading by 2 and there was no need for that hurry. He could taken a few seconds to assess the situation before the passing. That's what the grouse about.

Thank you!!! Exactly, no need to rush it out. 10 minutes or so til half time, control the game, slow things down. Just bad decision making from the keeper and a howler of a touch from Lucas, the perfect shit storm and completely avoidable.

[Fiasco]

Let's all be friends now and hope for a good second half.

You think some of these posters aren't the same in other half time threads? Even if we're winning comfortably at half time, some will still find something to whine about.

[JackWard33]

They've both been terrifyingly good

Why would we change the way we play that helped us go 2-0 up?

[stockdam]

Same again this half.

[Zoomers]

Rest easy, we'll win this 4-1.

[-HH-]

That was frustrating, but do you know what's a million times worse? Seeing people moaning about out defensive organisation, as if it had anything at all to do with the goal.

Also, that's two or three games now where, for a spell of 20 minutes plus our attack has been reminiscent of 13/14. A fuck up in the wrong area of the pitch shouldn't change the positives of that half.

[Caston]

Matip looks alright

[surfer. Fuck you generator.]

We play a certain way. We're playing well and leading 2-0. Why would we change? It's not like it's last 10mins and we are shutting up shop.

We should keep playing the possession game. Keep playing it out from the back. It's what our philosophy is. It's what we do in training everyday. Matip and Lucas are good ball players and capable of controlling a football. Lucas made an awful mistake but i'm not sire you should put together a tactical plan to play safe just incase someone makes an awful mistake.

Exactly.

The path where you play out from the back without a single mistake a season doesn't exist. If you want the benefits of that option (increased chance of possession and control of the game), you must do it consistently. You will concede a few good chances over a season with this. The bigger picture is, done right, you'll dominate and hopefully win a lot more games than otherwise possible.

[BazC]

He wont' get much praise as he hasn't scored but that half is why Sturridge is such a great 9. Constant movement, on the last shoulder then vacating the space - so hard to track.

MOTM so far. Wins the ball back and makes the run to free up the space for Firmino's goal, and that assist for Mane's... Fantastic.

[DTRed]

Is this the level of analysis these days then - Brain Dead?

it's an error from a player that hasn't featured much and is filling a gap out of position.

2-1 and you'd think we were behind ffs

[Messiah]

Lucas played very well before and after the mistake. That was just a freak moment.

[stockdam]

Braindead? Give it a rest please.

[TheShanklyGates]

Which is directly the result of the fans in the stadium's reaction.  Everyone was fucking freaking out which filters down to the field.  People need to fucking relax. 

True, but I don't remember it being this way in the past. I think the crowd reaction is a symptom of this team's mental fragility rather than the cause.

[Gerrard#1]

An early third goal to kill them off please

I don't get why we play out from the back under Jurgen.  His Dortmund side were not posession based, why has he changed his tactics?

[lgvkarlos]

I thought Lucas was gone for sure this summer. It's hard to believe he's still here and starting games.

Was excellent apart from that mistake.

[MH41]

I'm sorry, but the excuses for Lucas are shocking and laughable. If Skrtel had done that, there would be uproar.

I really don't get this fact that you are not allowed to call a terrible mistake just that if it is made by him.
I'm not even talking about today's mistake, he's no longer good enough for our football club. Anyone who thinks otherwise are just kidding themselves.

[MosDefKop]

It is interesting to note the extent to which players are judged seemingly on the basis of whether they are liked as people as opposed to their performance or ability. 
Milner has been excellent - Few want to admit that.
Sturridge has covered quite a bit of ground even tidying up in deep midfield a couple of times. Has played well.  Not acknowledged
Mignolet is blamed for the goal more than Lucas on here!!!!
