Also, Elliott isn’t an attacker, not a Klopp one at least. Need more pace than that.

Frustrating. Knew these Luton twats would make it a tricky night.

Diaz could have had a hattrick. Not even getting a shot away on that early opportunity was really poor. Too many wild efforts from range, all of which the Luton keeper has taken an age over the goal kick afterwards.

Hopefully they tire, and we improve.

A fair few of our lads having stinkers here

Elliot shouldn't be starting games

Hestoic · « **Reply #44 on:** February 21, 2024, 08:20:06 pm »

We need one of Nunez, Salah and Jota available for this exact reason. Really abysmal showing up front. Diaz and Gakpo both constantly looking to drop instead of run behind the defender and they lose that extra second needed to outrun the defence.

However, they are getting chances and am optimistic enough that a couple will go in.

killer-heels · « **Reply #45 on:** February 21, 2024, 08:20:07 pm »

We are playing ok but unfortunately the attackers have been poor. Will need a mega effort this second half.

jillc · « **Reply #46 on:** February 21, 2024, 08:20:11 pm »

We've worked hard and should have scored from one of those opportunities early on. We need more from the crowd as well, they've been disappointing.

wemmick · « **Reply #47 on:** February 21, 2024, 08:20:16 pm »

Elliot and Diaz have been god awful in the box. We should be out of sight.

rushyman · « **Reply #48 on:** February 21, 2024, 08:20:19 pm »

Really

Fucking hell. Walking about some of them

chromed · « **Reply #49 on:** February 21, 2024, 08:20:22 pm »

That's got to be up there with one of the most frustrating halves of football I've ever watched.

How many times are we going to go through on goal and fail to capitalise?

It's like being really good at fifa but you've got a team full of bronze players. You know your ability is there but it doesn't click when it matters.

I'm sure the lads are going to figure this out in the second half, i'd advise they all change their boots as we haven't got any game changers coming off the bench tonight.

You just knew those 2 big chances for Diaz would come back to haunt us

Think the first one looked a bit off but even so

BER · « **Reply #51 on:** February 21, 2024, 08:20:31 pm »

Elliott and Diaz have been simultaneously our best and worst players out there.

WorldChampions · « **Reply #52 on:** February 21, 2024, 08:20:33 pm »

The boys aren't firing upfront especially Elliott and Diaz but sadly there are no options to switch it up.

Tonyh8su · « **Reply #53 on:** February 21, 2024, 08:20:40 pm »

As expected. We’ve no players, smash and grab from them and utter fucking brainlessness from Diaz.

We’ve more than enough to win this but my fucking god the decision making in the final third is unfathomable.

Gnurglan · « **Reply #54 on:** February 21, 2024, 08:20:42 pm »

Feels like our energy is directed in so many ways. We look sloppy when we have the chance to create something. Need to up our game in the second half. I kind of expect a change at LB. Not because Gomez has been bad, rather that I think we can benefit from a left-footed option to cover the flank.

UntouchableLuis · « **Reply #55 on:** February 21, 2024, 08:20:43 pm »

8 of our regular 11 are out. Don't think you can expect to win any game easily with that.

In that case, how does it finish?

Looking like it's gonna be one of those nights.

JJ Red · « **Reply #58 on:** February 21, 2024, 08:20:46 pm »

We could play for 6 hours and not score. Just can't see any kind of positive outcome here.

Another season ruined by injuries. I do think we need to look at our training/medical approach. There's no way an elite team can be so consistently unlucky.

groove · « **Reply #59 on:** February 21, 2024, 08:20:49 pm »

Gomez such a confusing selection when Robertson's fit, especially against lower league opposition. Get the better attacking full back on.

lgvkarlos · « **Reply #60 on:** February 21, 2024, 08:20:50 pm »

Diaz and Elliott have had so many good opportunities to put in a pass or maybe score, really good until the final part.
Luton are stopoing us from going would e, most teams let us play up the wings.

Cesar · « **Reply #61 on:** February 21, 2024, 08:20:50 pm »

I think I invented about 4 new swear words during that half. As others said the decision making in the final third has been way off. And some of the sideways passing at the back has made my head fall off. Harvey really loose in possession and Diaz needs to remember he is capable of a half decent on target shot.

Bucko - Dubai · « **Reply #62 on:** February 21, 2024, 08:20:55 pm »

Can only echo everyone else, none of the front 3 are goalscorers.

If we go on to lose this I think it will be the beginning of the end for Diaz

StL-Dono · « **Reply #63 on:** February 21, 2024, 08:20:55 pm »

I can't remember a match since that Ath Madrid CL match at Anfield a few years ago where a team has been so thoroughly dominated and yet find themselves in a positive position. They are so wide open and we've had lovely play to get us outside the box and then each and every one of them have somehow managed on at least one occasion to F it up...

They've done nothing except one attack which required one of the most fortunate bounces of the ball you can imagine to take the lead.

Have to believe that if things remain the same, just the number of gold-plated chances created would indicate we'll score a couple. Still have a hard time seeing us not getting three points from this match.

Clint Eastwood · « **Reply #64 on:** February 21, 2024, 08:20:56 pm »

I don't think we've been that bad really. Unfortunately Diaz has been wasteful (he has to take one of those two early opportunities), and their goal was a fluke, although you could argue Kelleher makes a mess of the initial save.

I still hope we can turn this around like we have done most games this season.

rushyman · « **Reply #65 on:** February 21, 2024, 08:20:57 pm »

Crowd is gross

Everyone's give their ticket to day trippers

Nick110581 · « **Reply #66 on:** February 21, 2024, 08:20:58 pm »

This is going to be a huge effort to win.

They look dangerous going forward and working so hard.

Vegeta · « **Reply #67 on:** February 21, 2024, 08:21:03 pm »

The crowd need to step up the atmosphere has been shite!

Bastion Of Invincibility · « **Reply #68 on:** February 21, 2024, 08:21:04 pm »

Need Robbo or Tsimikas on. Move Gomez to RB and Bradley to RW. We desperately need some pace and directness up front.

Win this and we win the league.

Nah, without Jota we're going to have lots of these types of games until the end of the season. He's a huge loss

Solomon Grundy · « **Reply #70 on:** February 21, 2024, 08:21:14 pm »

I'd risk throwing Gordon or Danns on up top at this point. Unbelievably frustrating.

buttersstotch · « **Reply #71 on:** February 21, 2024, 08:21:17 pm »

I don't think we're playing badly - but we look like a young team feeling the pressure. We're making bad decisions and Diaz is having a stinker. Going to be a long second half.

OkieRedman · « **Reply #72 on:** February 21, 2024, 08:21:18 pm »

Zero pace. Zero control. Zero quality.

Gravenberch is poor. Bad shots and zero awareness. The goal came from him letting his man run off of him.

Gomez needs to come off for Robbo, or we will concede another from that side.

Can they just stop shooting aimlessly from distance

Can we actually get a decent shot away?
Either off target or dribbles through the keeper.

Diaz and Cody have both been quite poor, so slow in deciding what they're going to do.

Just have to keep plowing on and hope will get a little bit of luck.

Feel like if some of Diaz chances had fallen to Gakpo we'd have scored

Gakpo has done fuck all either

Decision making in final third has been really poor.

Keep calm, play the extra pass and it’ll come.

Number 7 · « **Reply #76 on:** February 21, 2024, 08:21:25 pm »

Really don’t want to come out of this game saying this is where the league was lost.

Biggest 45 mins of the season coming up so far.

Need to turn this around.

duvva 💅 · « **Reply #77 on:** February 21, 2024, 08:21:35 pm »

Fuck me with supporters like half you lot who needs away fans

We’re bare fuckin bones, yes players are making mistakes and the finishing from Diaz has been frustrating to say the least but they’re creating at least and if they keep doing, something will happen

It’s like we’re missing our entire front 3 and half the rest of the side or something.

darragh85 · « **Reply #78 on:** February 21, 2024, 08:21:35 pm »

Whatever about not scoring but to give up a goal like that so early is infuriating

Klopp needs to knock a few heads together at half time.
