Liverpool (H) - Post-Match Thread

Lets be honest, if Mahrez was rotated out of the squad, same thing should happen soon with Sterling too unless he delivery quickly.

We need a front three that is performing from match to match. We cannot have passengers and players needing 5-6 games for a goal or an assist.

Not having a pre season, and too many games to play wont be an excuse for anyone.
And you can bet even when we are guaranteed 1st in CL group after 4 games most likely, Pep will still play most of the strongest players in the complete useless 5th and 6th CL games instead of rotating them.

Totally agree...
 
Sterling playing for himself alone wasted most of the chances by not passing and KDB looked slow today, Jan Molby type runs.
 
Emerson solid 6/10
Walker average 6/10
Cancello 8/10 MoM
Diaz & Laporte solid performances 7/10
Gundoghan average 6/10
Rodri solid 7/10
Torres went missing 5/10
Sterling poor 5/10 De Bruyne knackered 6/10
Jesus mobile & dangerous 7/10.

So for me a draw is ok. We will get better as the season wears on. Aguerro back soon. I don’t believe Gundoghan and Rodri should both play. Silva or Foden should replace one of them.
 
We were not at our best today and still, Dark Arts FC couldn't beat us. The media narrative that ours was never a Pen but their's was stonewall is in overdrive. Wolves didn't get afforded the same media outrage earlier in the day. Positively like my wife without a drink in her, our back door looks firmly shut.
 
What's happened to the goals?
Are all the players fit?

We are still on a serious hangover from the Lyon game...No one seems to able to push on from it and it's killed us dead...Unless we get someone with some bollocks in the squad to ruffle a few feathers and lead from the front we will be lucky to finish top 6 as we look bereft of guidence all over the pitch

We have players like KDB, Sterling, dead on their feet, but the policy appears as if we are just going to keep playing them almost all the time, until they cave in, expecting them to suddenly find a 2nd wind & become inspired.

We need to use the young players more, to increase the workrate & take some of strain. Rather than playing two Morris Travellers, towing caravans, in midfield.

I'm glad some people have have some positivity. I've only dipped into the thread but it's mostly depressing.

I don't know if it is a shift in our favour or not but I think City are slowly but surely shifting towards being more solid and that Pep has deliberately moved the team to a slightly more cautious approach.

People were taking about evolution, he’s doing that and rebuilding, starting like any top manager would, from the back...

it is a top class left back away from being as good as anything in Europe... we’ve genuinely just been spoilt with our attacking exploits over the last 3 years, he’s tweaking it to counter how teams invariably gain success against us.....

Any good manager, be it in McDonald’s or transferable to sport, reacts to a cause of lack of productivity, yet he’s being hammered for evolving... this is 2017 all over again, he’s laying the foundation for the long game!
