Disjointed. No point having attacking players on the pitch but deciding to nullify their threat and the teams cohesion. Kev might aswell stayed at home than play on the right.I disagree. Our lineup was more attacking than it usually is at Anfield with the inclusion of Gundogan imo.
but when it clearly wasn't creating anything and they were playing through our midfield like a dose of salts with Salah terrorising our back 4 ,Pep did feck all to change it.I disagree. Our lineup was more attacking than it usually is at Anfield with the inclusion of Gundogan imo.
Spot on, and imo Pep won’t win the champions league with us until he becomes a **** before these big games, stop fucking praising the opposition Pep and there managers and talk up your own fucking team, Klopp talks us up as a backhanded compliment because he then slags us off about the money, Pep doesn’t do this before big games and it’s his weaknessThe mentality going into this game was wrong. He has the team feeling inferior before a ball is kicked. The use of players showed Liverpool we feared them. Of course we tweak most games but in this case it was because we had no believe we could win at anfield.
That is frankly ridiculous. The best manager our club will ever see and you post that. Jesus fucking wept.He has the team feeling inferior before a ball is kicked.
They are just an expensive Burnley, Rags have been shite for years!You must have missed us twat United 6-3 the other week.
Its his Achilles heel.He can be all that but he also can have the occasional brain farts. Especially when it comes to anfield. He sent a message to the players today before a ball was kicked that he didn’t believe they could win without tactical tweaks.
It is not the first nor the last time we see him change a winning system for fear of the opposition and occasion.
Keeping our shape/formation 4-3-3 and changing the game plan according to what team we are facing is completely fine.The mentality going into this game was wrong. He has the team feeling inferior before a ball is kicked. The use of players showed Liverpool we feared them. Of course we tweak most games but in this case it was because we had no believe we could win at anfield.
Not just Liverpool. In any big game where the stakes are high.Disjointed. No point having attacking players on the pitch but deciding to nullify their threat and the teams cohesion. Kev might aswell stayed at home than play on the right.
He has an inferiority complex when it come to liverpool and anfield. It’s not a dig just a fact.
We can’t win there.
The greatest football mind can make mistakes too as he did in the Cl final and at other times in CL and fans are entitled to have an opinion and question the tactics especially when they're questionable as they were imo. The whole object of football forum is lost if you can't express how you feel about your team and manager, it doesn't mean you're calling for manager's headSee my post, we controlled it until the players decided they wanted it to be a basketball match
same thing against Madrid last season. Game management is a real problem for some of our players
99% of the time we are too good so it doesn’t matter, but it’s a common theme that’s never gone away
the other thing that’s laughable is people on here questioning Pep and his tactics, he’s probably the greatest football mind there has ever been
We played the same system last week against Southampton but with Cancelo on the left and Foden on the rightKeeping our shape/formation 4-3-3 and changing the game plan according to what team we are facing is completely fine.
Changing our shape/formation to nullify another teams game plan is wrong in my opinion, especially in a big game and Pep is too susceptible to this.
Honestly if we played our best formation were our players are most comfortably and we get beat fair play to the other team, but far to often in big games it feels like we're watching a completely different team to our City.
I don't understand the need to complicate things in big games, overloading the players with instructions, playing a formation that the players have to learn in-game off the cuff, playing your players out of position, add all of these things along with a highly-charged atmosphere, opposition players kicking lumps out of us and notoriously dodgy refereeing decisions how the heck are the players supposed to play a fluid game.
He's a genius not allowed to be questionedWe have gundogan and de bruyne ahead of haaland pressing, not sure where that idea came from. Them tactics made zero sense to me.
Bringing on Alvarez in the 88th minute was a joke. He should have been brought on at least 15 mins earlier.Wrong team,wrong tactics,and a bizarre lack of subs.
Add that to his pathetic tantrum......and it was a very bad day at the office for the boss.
