Liverpool (A) Post Match Thread

Rodri isplaying very much like Busquets. He appears to be playing deeper than before which is giving him more space to use his qualities. Gundo is the player teams are trying to press but he is too skillful for them to dispossess and start counter attacks against us.

Which is why a big part of their game plan was to 'accidentally' smash Gundy and try and put him out of action in the first couple of minutes.

Shithouse team.

Rodri now has cancelo and to a lesser extent Zinchenko dropping in to cover him so he stop forward and play closer to the oppositions box without getting caught: earlier in the season with Walker and Mendy bombing down the line all the time he was getting exposed. This same tactical change has given out attacking midfielders more space to play in.

A few seasons ago when they did us 4-3, Eddy made a couple of similar errors, but it was all down to their brilliant forwards putting us under pressure. This time it’s all about could have been a draw and cold feet. Okay, the latter may be tongue in cheek but it was mentioned by Tyler on commentary, their manager after the game and on motd. Funny shit.

Said exactly the same last night.

Also, this lot don't seem to handle pressure very well, and it starts with the manager. All teeth and man hugs when it's going well, anger and excuses when it's not.

Yesterday was beautiful, to go there and destroy them on their turf. Raz waltzing past the best full back in the world, Foden turning the other best full back in the world inside out, fucking beautiful.
Marker put down, we'll be back in May for our trophy, twats.

Have to say, fair dues to Oliver, straight out with a card even 2 minutes in with none of the 'too early' bullshit and it looked like he warned them he wasn't tolerating it.

Happy to accept was wrong about Zinchenko starting, however has to be accepted I was right he’d have to defend all game as he never went forward, but didn’t matter as he was magnificent. Dias’ fault that his only time he let Salah go it cost us.

Was a fantastic performance from Zin. Played more as a left back than he normally does, and as you say didn't really push ahead of Sterling or Gundo on that side, but at the same time kept Salah pocketed. Lovely stuff.

Anyone mentioned that young lad from Stockport in this thread? Think he's got a bright future in the football stuff.

Really good post, agree with everything. Just listened to Football Weekly and there were a fair few journos having to eat their words about Foden (some very seriously wanted to ship him out on loan to get kicked about in the Championship, what a bunch of jokers). The most impressive thing about Foden's development last night, but this season, is that it's like he's still serving his apprenticeship. He's still being asked to go play and different roles, in different positions, in different types of games because Pep would prefer to sacrafice short term gains for longer term development of Foden. We have a lot to thank Pep for, A LOT, but if Foden keeps working hard and grows up a bit off the field we could still be benefitting from that in 10 or 15 years time.

Absolutely. Patience is a virtue.

Pep has handled him superbly, kept him grounded and kept him hungry. Too many young players get rushed, think the world is theirs and implode at 23, I don't think Foden will, he will continue to improve and in 5 years time when he approaches his peak, he could be one of the best players to ever wear our shirt. He shows that much promise.

Zin was my MoM, i have never seen Salah so quiet in a big game.

I though Oliver was reluctant to give it, and but for the injury he wouldn't have bothered. He didn't have a choice in fairness as it was a yellow all day long in any minute of the game.

Specialist penalty kicker!
Surely we could use the concussion sub rule to get him on for a few mins like in American Football?
