Topic: Half time: Leicester 0-0 Liverpool

[epsomred]

Me? No not at all. I seriously think some "supporters" and "fans" should stop watching us.

No sorry I meant the previous post about us playing tosh. Not you. I agree. Think some people would be better off watching the Harlem globe trotters.

[dangerpuss]

What is Albrighton doing? Bizarre tactics.

If Salah or Firmino are playing, we are out of sight already.

[beardsleyismessimk1]

Well if that is the level of football you need to play for Arsenal, then please Mr. Wenger, where do I sign up

[Rush 82]

This is a par performance from Ox according to my arsenal Mate. Surely not?

He's not been Klopped yet - remember that Lallana lad

[Pistolero]

Robertson carrying on where he left off against Palace (forget about Satdee).. Solanke - excellent movement and positional play but first and finishing touches a bit wayward....Couthinho playing for the team rather than for himself which is good to see.....all over them, but as we all know that counts for fuckall if we cant slot

Righto

[Filler.]

Couldn't work out our shape for an age... didn't expect to see Coutinho in the middle and Grujic wide. Difficult to follow while switching streams etc. Good to see him in the middle again. It helps alot. Some good use of Robertson with Grujic slightly tucked in? Unlucky for Solanke. Good to see a centre forward again.

[Asam]

Hendo, Grujic and Wij is an incredibly well balanced midfield.

Wijnaldum shines when he's given freedom to dictate from further forward.

Grujic has played with a lot of maturity, kept it ticking over and not tried too much hollywood shit

[dangerpuss]

We need to get our act together as they have some decent attacking options on the bench.

What are you on about?

[Motty]

We're playing tosh

Thought he was still on patrol on the Jasmine Allen?

Grujic has to fill the space on the left because Phil is constantly moving inside to get on the ball.

Shades of the Burnley game tonight. All very pretty until it comes to putting the ball in the net.

Hoping to see Woodburn for Chamberlain at some point.

[RedGlen]

Ward has done well, but he's had very little to do in truth. The thing I've noticed about our defence tonight is there's at least some communication which is encouraging. Having said that Leicester have been extremely poor so far.

Coutinho has done some good things again, and he is beginning to look stronger. But our final ball is still not good enough, also we need Solanke in the box a bit more. We just look a bit toothless, and maybe we're a bit of guilty of trying to walk the ball into the goal. We need to shoot a bit more with conviction.

I really hope he tries Woodburn at some stage, think he could do well tonight.

That's another thing I've noticed and liked about Robertson - he's always talking, shouting and telling players to give him the ball and making himself open at every opportunity.

[jillcwhomever]

I'm genuinely confused as to how we haven't scored yet. We seem to be going through another one of those phases where we dominate and create loads of chances but just can't put any of them away. Hopefully we carry on creating the chances in the second half but actually make a couple of them count, otherwise I can see Leicester getting some sort of spawny goal. Such is the way of things.

You really feel though if we managed to score, it will fill us with a lot more confidence. Come on Reds be positive you can do this.

[gerrardisgod]

He loves a stepover, does our Marko. Tall players and stepovers just look awkward to me, for some reason.

[RyanBabel19]

How the fuck Phil dug out that pass for Sloankes chance at the end i do not know

[Oddball]

Solanke's first touch is positively Dirk Kuyt! Very dangerous though

[Gnurglan]

We've been alright. We're the better side. If only we could be a little sharper in attack, we'd be ahead. I expect a few changes in the second half. Probably from Leicester early on, so we need to make sure to keep the advantage and hopefully score an early goal.

[Magix]

Ox's display seems to be both being still not in sync with his teammates and trying too hard to impress at times. Should settle in as the game progresses (I hope).

[bobadicious]

Bring back Andy Carroll. He'd love those crosses from Andy Robertson. Delish!!

[reddebs]

We'll win this, I have no doubts. 

[IgorBobbins]

What I wouldn't give to have some players who excel at quick passing and one-touch play. Too many players like Gini who take too many touches of the ball, only to  play it deliberately and safely. Leicester were there for the taking that half - a missed opportunity. Hopefully Klopp will tell the players to move the ball quicker.

[dangerpuss]

Ings with a hat-trick. Please.

[Filler.]

Grujic has to fill the space on the left because Phil is constantly moving inside to get on the ball.

That's the bit I'm enjoying the most I think.

[Charles Foster Kane]

Phil is fucking ridiculous by the way
It's like watching an adult play in a kids game

Not creating that much so far in the season though but he seems to be working himself getting there.

[TheShanklyGates]

8 0-0s at half time in the 11 League Cup games tonight.

[Chakan]

Ox's display seems to be both being still not in sync with his teammates and trying too hard to impress at times. Should settle in as the game progresses (I hope).

I think he's still on the Arsenal model, it took Lallana a few games to get into sync with Klopp's methods.

[jillcwhomever]

We need to get our act together as they have some decent attacking options on the bench.

We have played well the first half, we just need a goal.

[StrawberryFieldsForever]

Playing really well, away fans in good voice and wife is opening a second bottle of wine. 

keep it up, la

[redprodigal]

We're playing tosh, thankfully Leicester are just a darker shade of it

WUM

[vicar]

I think he is desperate to impress, he just needs to relax

[Caligula?]

What are you on about?

Okazaki, Mahrez and Iheanacho? They won't be as piss poor up front as they are now if they bring them on.

[jillcwhomever]

Can't buy a goal for love nor money.

What game were you watching?

[Robinred]

I hate to see us dominate and fail to score.

Fully expect them to do so from their first real opportunity.

[vicar]

Bring back Andy Carroll. He'd love those crosses from Andy Robertson. Delish!!

interestingly I think Ings would too

[lessthanmatt]

I agree. It could take some months for him though. I always think to Lallana and how Klopp helped transform him.

[Oddball]

Dont forget our very own commentary here were you can PM the lads with your views (try not to send them to the person currently doing the comms as they may not have chance to get to them):

48 shots and 1 goal in the last match and a half.

It will come.
