Without tempting fate, Guehi looks the bollocks

Today's Bluemoon match day thread scapegoat sponsored by Fanny Wipes is....

About to board a flight so will miss second half but tbh it's the same half dozen posters who give him grief constantly.
Hopefully when I get off plane in a few hours he's silenced some of the fucking whoppers.

So the ref didn't,t go back to give a yellow for that last foul. Pathetic

 

[Bluemoonie92]

Brilliant half and should be winning. Please city, turn up second half for once. They are there for the taking

 

[Gaz76]

Decent half that, Bernardo's swagger against these cunts is a joy to watch.
Any chance ljinders knows where the inhalers cupboard is for the second half?

 

[ysmsa]

Played well should be winning.

Cherki on in this open game

 

[mosssideblue]

Good half. Pep got the formation and tactics spot on…just need a bit more luck in the final third.

This

 

[Dax777]

If we could replicate our first half's we'd be unreal

This is the scary part. If history holds, we've played our good half. And it was decent in parts to be fair. But no goals :(

 

[ShaunMCFC]

Don't know what is with the Haaland haters? He's missed ONE decent chance. Hardly the worst performance I have ever seen.

Haters ffs, just want him to do a bit, he’s allowed to miss chances. Not running about and letting every other **** do your running is the main issue. If he does that then he’s fine.

 

[TShed]

Great match really enjoyed it

Rodri MotM for me

Looking forward to Fulham and Salford

Off out now late Sunday Dinner bye bye everybody

Haaland's desire is shot, it's not a case of energy, I'd get him off for Cherki and move that front three around a lot more

Agree. Such a pity Doku is injured, he'd run them ragged.

 

[Damanino]

dreaded HT team talk from Pep:(

watch dippers switch tactics, we fail to react and they beat us while we get more and more tired. hope I am wrong:(

 

[mattcity5]

Initial contact outside the box. They were never going to give it.

The leg came across inside the box. And if a foul continues in the box it's a penalty anyway.

I know we'd never get a penalty in front of the kop, but that should have been one.

 

[Stoned Rose]

Actually a lot to be pleased about that half. Good shape, good tempo, haven’t done our usual shitting ourselves at Anfield thing.

The 3 in midfield is key. Keeps us solid and gives control.

Few moody moments when playing out from the back.

Guehi is absolute mustard.

 

[Fordyboy46]

Blown the chance here i feel

 

[ws01]

I would take Haaland off and bring on KDB.Should have started that way.

I feel like Colin the King would be better suited to the fixture

 

[Eoiyflem]

Everything you'd want from a first half at anfield bar the goal tbh. First class.

I predicted we'd be dominant for 45 mins but the second half could be the usual talent of woe. Let's see.

 

[Johnny Mars Bar]

I’ve just whacked on an insurance bet, you’d be daft not to.

 

[NQCitizen]

Haaland aside we have been very good.

It whether we can actually put in a shift second half.

Cherki or Reijnders to come on play false 9 and put marmoush and semenyo in behind kerkez and szobo.

The tactics that beat Newcastle would easily beat this Liverpool team.

 

[Blueknows]

Needs to go and sit down again.
No idea what the issue is but he's not there at all currently

I'd sub Cherki on for him and put Moosh up top
