Match Thread | Liverpool vs Man City (10/03/24)

[Haaland94]

Alvarez losing the ball too much today, so we need Mateo. Ake struggling against Elliot and Bradley, so it's a little worrying.

 

[Fordyboy46]

If we don't get a 2nd they will bring Salah and Gakpo on and we'll be in the shit. Salah will change the game for sure

 

[hgblue]

His first touch is pretty poor.

His second touch is by a Liverpool player

 

[brummie blue]

Obviously delighted to be winning, but we're not really playing well here. Keep giving the ball away and inviting pressure on ourselves. I'd get Kovacic on for Alvarez to help us keep possession better. We've got a great opportunity now, just need to keep our composure and play our normal game.

if you have a hot line to Pep, have a word pls.

 

[Lavinda Past]

Kovacic for Alvarez now please Pep.

 

[wolviedinho]

Painful. I thought the treble would make me relax!

It’s always a tough game. We should all be proud of our lads today.

We completed football last season. It don’t get much better than that.

Shame we cant fuck these cunts every now and again.

 

[IronsideKozuch]

Everyone bar Alvarez has been immense.

Every time Julian gets it he loses it or has a loose touch.

We need more from him. He's just got Rodders a yellow there as well with his shit touch.

he does not have best game, but hes working hard, had few good link ups (should more) and was a threat sometimes - hes part of the team success, which first half certainly been

 

[pudge]

He must have Dokus boots on.

That's the problem, Pep will swap him for Doku if he takes him off and if you think Liverpool are getting space down the right now just wait and see

 

[jaiguruKun]

I thought Bradley might be their weak link in a game like this but he's been their best player. Maybe Doku on to pin him back in his own half might be an idea.

 

[SWPISHOME]

We could be biten on the arse of we continue in the manner that we are playing in that first half, We have been masters of our own down fall.

I haven't seen us being this sloppy on the ball since Villa away months back that's how poor it's been.

We need to improve and keep playing at a high tempo, As soon as we move the ball quickly we are breaking lines and straight in at the back four. Taking our time with throw ins and set pieces really doesn't suit us, Keep the fucking ball moving.

Alvarez needs to come off, Get Kovacic on and put Bernie out wide.

 

[kaz7]

Check my post history if you'd like. I'm no 'Alvarez defender,' but the number of people commenting on him but not our 'world-class' striker is utterly bizarre.

give it a fucking rest

 

[The Viking]

Alvarez is fucking dogshit today, sub him out for Doku

 

[Asa's left peg]

Same for me. Julian (if you can't play him off Erl) bench him and get Kova on. Late on maybe Nunes against their kid at fullback.

 

[Gabriel]

Their best minutes are coming when they can overload our left and isolate Ake, then switch play to the runners. Alvarez is doing phenomenal work to get back and help, so those wanting him off need to see someone else off the bench who will also be as disciplined chasing back.

 

[Blu1]

They will target Rodri now. He gets a red it screws us v arsenal. All down to Alvarez too

 

[CTID1988]

A few players don't look up for it and I don't understand why. Biggest game of the season this.
Never seen us give the ball away so much

 

[Haaland94]

Bradley is a cracking player but he’ll be treading water 60 mins onwards, Doku for Alverez, who’s exposing ake, that will press him back and we will get more joy that side

He loses the ball even more, though.

 

[Kippax77]

Why does it feel like we're losing?

commentators talking in library tones since John boy scored

 

[heslops barnet]

We’ve completely lost the midfield

 

[Sky Blue]

He must have Dokus boots on.
