    I hate the LFC commentator, only a bit above Press TV level. Anyway Chelsea are at home, are playing two proper first teamers and as ever have a rake of really promising future starts of the Bundesliga playing.

    But Liverpool have two Champions League winners playing so that cancels out Chelsea's first teamers ;)

    And still some people will call for him to start against Arsenal.

    Seems to be all the rage. Both City and Spurs had Allez , Allez, Allez chants the other day.

    The offside trap we’re playing reminds me of how we defended free kicks last season. Pundits went on and on about it talking about how we’d be caught out, and every match had numerous posts on here talking about how we ‘got lucky’ multiple times in each game by catching teams offside. Luck has little to do with it, we either catch them off or we don’t and the first mistake will be followed by ‘I told you so’ comments ignoring the 99 times it worked previously. If we implement this as well as the free kick defending there will be nothing to worry about.

    I think we literally didn't concede from a single free kick when we did that.

    It showed incredible discipline.

    Wouldn't stop me ****ting it every time we did it, mind you. :P

    I don’t mind them stealing the tune like we’ve done from other clubs for our songs, but they’ve literally stolen the whole thing and changed maybe three or four words.

    The Worst Fans in the World™️ have some competition.

    I seem to remember West Ham caused us a lot of problems from set pieces in the away match but in general it worked superbly.

    Brewster coming off after 60 struggled badly and showing he is nowhere near ready for senior football yet.

    I noticed in an other thread that someone was carded for asking about getting a PM for a little river.

    That's a bit much if you ask me. I thought private messages were actually private, I guess not.

    Rudiger with a red card tackle on Elliott and of course the ref doesn't give anything.

    Klopp is so good at judging when players are ready.

    That game seems to be showing why he hasn't been in the squad.

    VAR - will catch the offsides because there is no wiggle room.

    and

    Our centre halves/full backs can cover ground pretty quickly, and our keeper reads the game.

    I think they outweigh the risks and we compress at the other end.

    Just on Sky now. 5 major VAR reviews thus far in the PL. 4 have ruled out "goals" which would otherwise have been given.

    Playing a high offside line under VAR is much more likely to produce a positive result for the defending team than the attacking team who previously may have gotten away with being marginally offside.

    Add that advantage to a seriously quick back line and confident sweeper keeper and you have a system which has been adapted to maximise VAR.

    In Klopp we trust!!

    They're not to regular mods. They're probably accessible to admin.

    Our clutch of young defenders & Kelleher played tonight too, I doubt they impressed much either.

    It's hard to not like that Wolves team


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,405 ✭✭✭Sofa Spud


    Makes the mathematics of what a win on Saturday will mean very easy. Sweet strike from Neves:)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,929 ✭✭✭✭murpho999


    3 games , 3 wins, European Trophy, 6 Points , rivals drop points and top of the league.

    Been a very good 10 days for the club despite all the high line worries of some.

    Yeah but we lost the second half against Norwich.

    I haven't been able to sleep since that humiliation.

    Lost the first half against Chelsea, so none of it matters.

    Up there with Athens and Kiev for me. Got an effigy of Pukki burning in the front garden.

    I guess this penalty taker nonsense will dominate the punditry for the next week replacing klopps high line

    Thank **** we have Klopp lads, that's all I can say. Watching Solskaar being interviewed reminds me of Hodgson at Liverpool. A weak manager who's out of his depth.

    Agreed, can't even appoint a penalty taker.

    Lampard at Chelsea is worse. I listen to the bbc football daily podcasts and Frank can do no wrong. Ex-England star doing great things. He at least got Derby to the playoffs so has some experience.

    Ole on the other hand has a host of ex-Utd footballers all over the bbc and sky. He also can do no wrong. Utd is too big of a club for Ole to steer. Much too early in his career.

    Both will be given more time than should be afforded them.
