Silvinho and doku, headless chickens with no football brains between them, take three on and then crumble at the final hurdle

lol @ Silvinho

Bernardo in the dugout near the end was shaking his head in sorrow or anger or both. Expect him to play a stormer at Brighton.

Sam Lee the rag?
I’d like to know the context..

After an absolute shit show of misplaced passes from kdb at the final whistle he stomped straight to the coaches and a heated debate took place .for reference KDB was an absolute embarrassment tonight.

Not being panicky but it would be good if we can stop this poor run now. Pep is the guy that can do it & we will probably look at this thread in 2 months and laugh but not one fan can say we look decent at the moment - we look a poor, unfit side and that is a fact.

No team deserves to keep winning forever unless they work hard and have the tools to change in adversity. Our leadership group has grown older together and I don't see who will step up when things are a bit shit.

When they scored the early goals in the second half every player looked stunned and not sure what to do. We seem to be stuck in the rondo style short passing and unable to change gears like we always have been able to do. It's only 3 games but the way we responded to being under pressure is worrisome.

lol @ Silvinho

Savinho was beyond awful tonight. It was fucking shameful what he did in the 2nd half. The most selfish fucking 20 minutes i've seen in a long long time. A one off hopefully...but i didn't like it at all.

When was the last time we conceded 4

Everton away 2016, Liverpool away in the centurions season, only guessing but I maybe right.

 

[VOOMER]

You cant blame injuries for us being totally dogshit up front. Only Grealish is out, Kev back but looked rusty and will take him a run of games but worrying, other than that, this is what we are left with. Doku/Grealish/Nunes/Savinho/Silva - A complete lack of a emd product let aline goals. And 1 striker only who is missing chance after chance atm.

Pace at the back is the problem. Kyle from 6 years ago playing tonight and we win
Few if any of our players are playing without and injury. However age is a predictable factor. We should be going all out for Davies. Kerkez. Frimpong and Livramento and.put Rico in midfield.

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

How? I’m not entirely sure we have the personnel, fit or unfit.

Don’t play a high line. Play a line of 4. The fullbacks aren’t overlapping anyway so keep them back

 

[hertsblue]

Doku and Savinho both lack composure atm ,
and Haaland is not firing properly.

Nunes was poor I agree.

Do you not think so many injuries affect the whole team balance.

Yes but does not excuse us being so awful with our finishing, Even our goal was straight at the keeper who messed up

 

[Gordyola]

Maybe the players know Pep is going and a general malaise has set in.

If the players knew then the rumours would be in full flow no way could they keep it a secret That’s why the LFC players were only told just before the announcement
