Wish I bloody well had now. We were atrocious! You've looked more vulnerable for 4-5 weeks now. Slow to get it turned on and some spotty defensive efforts. Hard to keep it up week after week, but with CL play not a good time to be less than 100%. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kadilo Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Great interview with Deeney on BT after the game. He obviously revelled in having Lovren marking him and said the fact that Lovren wanted to fight him all the time made it ideal for him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3 minus 2 Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 two things.. one. how Henderson is abso CENTRAL to the current liverpool way, today was one step away from a spanking and hendo imo would NEVER have let that happened. ..... .. he would have harried and bullied and led, you may still have lost but not in today's manner he would have demanded more... today you just seemed rudderless.. Two/ Lovren is a <deleted> .. and you really need shot... barring that.. alls good .. unless your a spurs fan and not lookin forward to playing wolves tomoro..???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post BangrakBob Posted February 29, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 29, 2020 Virgil has lost 5 league games for Liverpool, 4 of those Lovren partnered him. The whole team were rubbish today though. That was the worst performance in 2 years. This team performs in rhythm, and every time there is a break in the league we are slow to get it back. This time even slower. Funny scrolling through Twitter with other teams fans getting excited by Liverpool losing a match when their team is like 400 points behind us. 22 points clear, and one defeat in 45 league matches, calm down. The team reaction is what is going to be interesting. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owl sees all Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 The Reds had an eye on the Champions League. They think they have the EPL easily sewn up. They have been extremely fortunate this year, especially at home where all the decisions have gone their way. And these dodgy decisions, against the opposition, started against Arsenal; remember. Have to focus now. City are waiting for them to slip up. This result will give other clubs confidence to rip them apart. Should have ground shared with Everton. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not this year Kadilo. Nor next! But I do remember when they thrashed Pool 4-0 under Harry. That welsh left back - what's his name now? Oh yes Bale. Once he sorted his hair problems there was no stopping him. I also recall Hoddle scoring that wonder goal at Anfield, but lucky Liverpool came from behind to win that one. After The Reds (although they played in blue and white, then Red and white, in earlier days, got promoted under Shanks, I was at The Lane to watch them draw 1-1. That game was the first time that I'd seen 4-2-4 being played. Spurs played an English orthodox formation 2-3-5, with two wingers (usually Jones and Dyson or Medwin). I left the ground thinking that I'd seen something special and I was not wrong. Paisley was the tactician and Shankly the heart. Ipswich won the title following Spurs double year. A fantastic feat considering they got promoted the season before. I do believe that Larry Lloyd was the first ever Pool player to wear all red.

Not sure of the relevance of mentioning blue and white kits as that stopped in 1896 (apart from our rather fetching 3rd kit of 11/12.) But I doubt Larry Lloyd had left school when we began wearing all red. Was 1964/65!???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They gave us good game at Anfield in December too. Lovren is the scapegoat, a definite weakness, but they were all awful. As said though, we play best when it's game after game after game, when that stops it takes a couple of games to get back at it. This season we ground it out with wins instead of draws, but still not clicking back in to gear and Watford took it by the balls Gomez is the best British centre back in Europe.

You may not be aware that I'd caught coronavirus off a Chinese girl in Nong Khai (I told her to keep her mask on but,,,), and it set me on the back foot for a while. Reishi wine with lashings of local Lao khow sorted it, and now I'm getting back to where I was last year. Also, my little mini laptop went up in smoke just after Xmas (I think that is called smolted, and it was always over-heating, forever putting ice under the left side) and I was third pick on the daughter's telephone after that until this w/e. A new laptop has been purchased (acer aspire 3) so I'm good to go. So, back in action now with the research, and experience to sort out those that think differently to me on the footy scene., so watch out e/s, Champers and Rc. I just remembered that Liverpool beat Spurs 7-0 in the late '70s. Not been back to Anfield since that day when someone <deleted> in my duffel coat hood.

Jones and Williams not involved so it looks like they'll at least be in the squad for Chelsea.

wilai Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Better performance than against Watford (couldn't have been any worse!) but problems of the last few weeks remain: Fab still hasn't recovered from his injury and has lost a yard of pace. Needs to get his rhythm back quickly. Finishing has been a bit slapdash of late with too much 'snatching' at shots although to be fair, the lesser spotted, much maligned Kepa did well. Too many Individual errors creeping in and they cost us dearly last night. Missing Hendo's drive....as 'Cinderella' sang; "Don't know what you've got till it's gone" On the brighter side...Williams continues to impress and Minamino looks like he is getting more used to our style. Still needs to work on his fitness as he tired again 2nd half. Kids were beaten 4-1 by an impressive and more street-wise Benfica side. Two red cards and 2 pens just about summed that one up! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, I'm a glass half full guy when it comes to new signings. As a number have found, it takes time to integrate into JK's system and, especially given he's played with completely different XI's in his starts, he's did ok for me. Next season is when I expect him to shine. Remember, he is used to playing off a big guy and a wide man up front. Our style is completely different. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
