Liverpool (H) - Carabao Cup 4th Round - Post-Match Thread

[cheekybids]

If you read the first line it says “great game”
That indicates I enjoyed it notwithstanding the fact we should have buried these.

Tbf Nunez shanked a fair few that were harder to miss the target.

Agree all this but most importantly..........Stones must start, he tightened the defence totally

I’ve been saying for a while he’s head and shoulders over all the others.Just needs to cut out the niggling injuries.

 

[Stiff Little Wingers]

Rico Lewis was great. fits into that midfield role better than walker as he is better with the ball at his feet. Real contender for a regular first team player.
Rodri starting where he left off and ran the midfield. KDB a 9/10 performance...couple of off moment but generally brilliant and probably MOTM
Ortega -decent with his feet nothing he could do with the goals.
Foden decent when he came on

Mahrez..outside of his goal he was poor.
Haaland...great finish - if there is one area he needs to improve its his pressing and defending from the front. Maybe more involvment in build up but maybe Pep doesnt want that from him?

Grealish - needs to do more when one on one....he simply has to be better and start sooner rather than later. God ball retention as always but needs to add more than that.
Palmer - great individual skill and one brilliant moment where he took the piss in his own defensive corner area to leave I think Oxlay-chamberlin on his arse to then slide a beautiful ball into midfield. However needs to get upto speed when making decisions in the attacking third and needs to use his right foot!

Gundo - was gundo....kept it ticking over and again a candidate for MOTM....got away with being booked as it was him the shoved over fabihno (who was lucky not to be red carded)

**** of the match as always goes to Andy Robertson.....sly fucking midget bully who would get slapped silly in any bar in the north west if he behaved like he does on a football pitch....I dont generally mid the scouse players baring the diving of Salah and the antics of Klopp but Robertson stands out as a genuinely nasty little individual.

Great performance tonight considering all the disruption from the WC. Make no mistake though, no one in blue was poor tonight. Sure, some made mistakes, Laporte got done for pace for the second but so many good things from us tonight, Thought Rico, KDB and Rodri superb tonight. Really happy with Aks znd thought Cole did really well. He's still learning but did a lot of good things.

Nunes looked dangerous for them.

He always has a goal like that in his locker, unfortunately he goes missing to often and is a soft twat

Mbappe you mean?

 

[simon23]

See, thing is, the guy has terrific natural talent. That's why so many get so frustrated with him.If he were merely an ordinary player they wouldn't care. That first touch for the goal was simply the nectar of the gods. But he goes missing for long periods.

exactly this.....god given talent but no spine

 

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

Thought Cole Palmer was good. Ticking over, always contributing. Some fine dribbling skills. Bit selfish once or twice. But he doesn't lack confidence, that's for sure.

 

[Boo or Boo-urns]

Liverpoo getting a share of the credits for City's performance.

 

[Revolver]

As ever the football under Pep is great. We’ve beaten the medias darlings and we have some great youngsters coming through. We are truly blessed.

Only downer is that this season we do look so open at times. 4 goals conceded In last 2 home games

 

[Uncle Wally One Ball]

Terrific game. Terrific atmosphere. Terrific result!

How was the mutual respect between supporters?

 

[deano ou812]

Not a slight or anything but the atmosphere was brilliant tonight,sometimes there’ll be games maybe dare I say where the team is not so much up for it but the crowd can absolutely play their part when maybe things aren’t going are way …
