Liverpool (A) Post Match Thread

Absolutely.
Besides the win, loads of positives for the future.
I wanted Fern on too. But mainly so we could push Gundo forward.
I was calling for Sterling to go off for him but Mahrez would have been better in hindsight, because sticking Foden out right with Gundo in the middle was key.

What Pep did was essentially better (since it worked). Jesus in the centre was always going to hassle the centre of their defence and Gundo behind him ideal. The fact that Rodri kept control of defensive side in the midfield is a huge bonus for us for the future. He is still learning his role there and is looking quite smooth at the moment.

I was hoping Pep would flip Sterling and Foden, Take off Mahrez, bring on Jesus and play Bernardo on the right, so similar vane of thought.

Mainly because Foden has the the legs to get to get up and down and could help out Zinchenko, when all sterling was doing was going on a run and losing the ball.

As it turned out I was wrong and Sterling won us a pen albeit not converted but

Pep will keep him grounded.
His interview about him was perfect.
Basically talked about how he wasn’t doing his job in the first half. He’s capable but doesn’t understand the position yet. He’s young. He will learn.

Pep has managed him very well despite those claiming he was holding him back at times. Media? What do they know?

I've heard this a few times tonight. But weren't they top just before Christmas without any crowds? The fall-off in their form is to do with other factors I think.

Don't fall for that shite, at KO they might be loud but when they're under the cosh they're silent as a mouse, they only sing when they're winning.

an absolute masterplan from pep,let them have a bit of play first half,gives them belief and 2nd half turn the screw, Sterling was fantastic down the left often draging 4 players out of position,Foden what can i say,maybe give him a more continental name Philipo fodeno,the errors from their keeper were just not errors,we put them under presure to make them

Soz Bert, I meant to reply to the person u were replying to.

I’m a bit concerned that Pep has been sussed out by the brilliant managerial minds of the premier league and his style of football has become outdated.

Yes, it seems that way from our league position, the fact we are still in all the domestic cups, pissed the CL group and the last 14 results. Pep out.

 

[The Fat el Hombre]

I would like to see fodens goal from behind the net at normal speed, Anyone got that please

Maybe not right behind the net but sky have been doing 15 minute programmes here and there where they show highlights of a game from one camera by the side of one net. I'd expect them to do one for this, and they're really good cos u see and hear the players close up. Would love to see one for this game

 

[Impeccable One]

But didn't the same clown say the rags will give us a title challenge.

Not quite accurate, he said only they could stop us from winning the title, but they’d need everything to go in their favor.

 

[Mancity1980]

Why was Dias booked for their “pen” but Fabinho not for our pen. The Liverpool player got another yellow later as well.

 

[TheThirdDeano]

What else is there to say?
Today, football won.
