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

Great game.
Dippers showed up for being dirty cheating bastards again.
We were v good but what worries me is despite the gulf in performance these fuckers could have done us tonight given the chances they got.
We still haven’t really figured out how to bury these cunts and that bothers me.
We get caught out all the time by a looping ball over our Back two who have no pace. Must play Walker or buy a quicker defender. Ake and Laporte not quick enough in these situations in my opinion
 
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.

Rico is looking like Lahm the way he comes in midfield.
 
FFS can't we just enjoy the win? They only had 2 shots on target so by that metric they couldn't have won.
If you read the first line it says “great game”
That indicates I enjoyed it notwithstanding the fact we should have buried these.
 
Lewis and Palmer looked good tonight
Will have done their confidence the world of good
It was great to see Cole actually take defenders on
Agreed - Cole could have gone into his shell after fluffing his early chance but he did well and the defending near our corner flag was great.
 
The goal from Mahrez was quality. If Mbappe or Messi had scored that in the WC the pundits would still be wanking over it now!

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.
