So far not many players are pressing their claims to replace the first eleven.

Marmoush can play as AM in our system. He's much better at doing the Kova run with the ball than Kova is.

 

[HolisticJim]

My iptv stream has just gone down ffs!

Bit like city

 

[Alexia_Ko]

Lewis , Savinhio , ait nouri, bobb no where near the required level

Ait Nouri is harsh when he’s hardly played

 

[madloaf]

Ake isn't fully fit

That's his full name.

 

[Blu1]

Sort yourself out Pep ffs

Hate to say it but I agree. He’s making life so difficult

 

[waspish]

They ain’t being brave it’s pass pass pass not making any risky passes or runs

 

[VOOMER]

It's not likely for a load of bench players to be brought in for a CL game when it's a live rubber and for them to start clicking straight away. Far too many changes by Pep.

But they do train together. Some of them are sulking

 

[dave_blue12]

More likely they get a second than we score

 

[Goater=Legend]

Really at the stage where a Leverkusen team with a load of injuries are more comfortable on the ball than we are.

 

[TinFoilHat]

Some in here need this.

 

[BlueMonkey79]

How is your drug habit, Paul Merson?

Take away all Haaland goals this season and adjust the results.

Then we will know who’s on drugs.

 

[Bluemoon115]

Well that was something.

It wasn't great, it wasn't good, it was barely coherent, but it's the best we've done so far.

 

[OntarioBlue]

The state of this team! Crazy crazy selection

I think almost every player out there for us is a full international. They are not poor players. The tactics are poor. Every one of our outfield players are slowing the game down. We have to move the ball quicker.

 

[Chak19]

Looks like it was disrespect indeed.

 

[malg]

Am I watching seniors walking football?

Been us for a while.

 

[toutmaster]

Surly you start strong then make changes

 

[Gabriel]

Great run and ball by Savinho but just not enough midfielders committed to attacking the spaces.

 

[Ian Latham]

Don't get changing the spine of the team. We never used to do that a few years ago. Wingers and the odd midfielder or full back but essentially it was the same 6 or 7 faces. You can see there's no continuity in the play. Like 10 strangers running (walking) around.

 

[OrigamiNinja]

Liverpool are just shit, I don’t think there’s much point in trying to extrapolate that performance or draw lessons from it.

Yep. At the moment, getting excited over beating Liverpool is like getting excited by beating Wolves. We’ve done both.
