Liverpool thread 2020/21

[Mid Wales blue]

Pearly veneers by feck - the twat has just been twinned with Stonehenge.

I’ve been told the Dippers own their own white marble quarry.

I wouldn't say they have been found out, I think they are struggling with Van Dijk and Gomez been out. They play a high line and teams can now get in behind them with Van Dijk and Gomez not being their they now have a lack of pace at the back and they are getting caught out. Klopp obviously sticking to his philosophy that he thinks will still work but at the moment its clearly not.

That's why Sundays game will be interesting I genuinely think it can go either way because Liverpool are vulnerable at the back.

City got lambasted last season playing Fernandinho and Rodri at centre back, Liveroool don't seem to be getting the same treatment playing Henderson and Fabinho their.

The first paragraph is largely right. The injuries at the back coupled with key players from elsewhere playing out of position is hurting us badly. We’re still there or thereabouts though so that’s the main thing.
I vaguely remember Fernandinho and Rodri playing at centre half but can’t understand why you were getting stuck for it? What happened there?

"All that money, weak defensively, City can be got at...."

The usual bullshit.

Do you think Liverpool midfield is getting hampered to as in their press isn't full throttle like it usually is? I think their midfield is afraid to press like they normally do because the backline will be exposed. It's very similar to us last season I think when we had no centre backs.

It was more so the media and pundits ect questioning Pep about why is he leaving Stones and Otamendi on the bench whilst Fernandinho and Rodri start centre half.

Of course Paul Merson and Jermaine Jenas are football experts ;)
I dont think Klopp and Pep can be put into question by anybody really with the standards that's been set by them both. Without them the League would be shit in my opinion.

I do think Liverpool not bringing in a centre back could cost them though.

Putting Henderson at CB is a totally clueless decision. They miss him a whole lot more in Midfield, more than they need him at CB. He cannot dictate play from there and weakens them massively IMO. When we chucked Fernandinho in at CB it worked as that was his natural game, Defending the midfield, and plus age was against him and CB isn't as demanding as a holding Midfielder. Henderson is a square peg in a round hole. He will get totally exposed against United and Spurs.

Does anyone have Liverpools form (wins, draws, losses) since 29/02/2020 when the lost 3-0 at Watford?

I reckon questions may be asked if there’s two senior centre halves on the bench and two centre mids at the back. That said, it was done by a manager who’s earned himself enough credit to not have to justify picking whomever he picks. But that’s the nature of a lot of football punditry, it’s just grab something away from the norm and parrot til the end or someone’s died of boredom.
We’ve missed Fabinho terribly in midfield, Henderson doesn’t really work as a 6 so the range of passing and transition to attack isn’t as smooth. Thiago coming back will help a lot but hopefully with Wijnaldum as the anchor. The world & his wife know we need a centre half but if one comes in, it’ll be late on. Reckon our owners and all the others are waiting to see what happens about a potential break/cancellation of the season.

Because of Hillsborough

Shhhhhhhhh! You're not allowed to say that, even though it's the truth.

Bollocks. They just paint York stone they’ve nicked from a church. The lead went years ago.
