Liverpool FC Team Talk, Gossip, Rumours 2020/2021

Despite the goal Mane's form this season has dropped off a cliff.

Fitz* · 08-01-2021 09:35PM

Those Villa kids deserve it.

Liverpool are chronic. Up there with one of the worst ever performances given the circumstances.

Bloc Party! · 08-01-2021 09:35PM

There’s no conviction or urge to score lately, the amount of possession we get and we just pass it around the opponents box and then fire in a hopeful cross, we never see them have a shot from outside the box that often either, just very one dimensional stuff

Girly Gal · 08-01-2021 09:35PM

Is there extra time if it ends level?

yourdeadwright · 08-01-2021 09:36PM

For the life of me i cant understand how a club of our size has no one better then Williams in the youth set up at CB

How Nat Phillips is 23 and still at the club is beyond

Osmosis Jones · 08-01-2021 09:36PM

How many more performances like this before "This wouldn't be happening if Henderson was on the pitch" is finally proven to be nonsense?

Extra time and pens if needed

I’ve said it before, but Williams is the slowest player I’ve ever seen. For that reason alone I don’t think he’s PL quality.

Ya, I said it before that when he sprints he reminds of final season Gerrard when his legs had gone. And I don't think anybody can coach someone to sprint quicker.

Rhys Williams' touch is also so heavy it's unreal. He gets a ball passed to him with no one near him and the touch leaves the ball 5ft in front of him. His pace is terrible but his touch is worse.

To be fair I don’t think Henderson Is the reason why we’re losing??

I just seen the score and assumed liverpool had put out a team of kids too... Changes or a good kick up the behind needed at half time id say.

Needed that kick a few months now to be fair,very one dimensional and the famous intensity gone a long time now.

Ottoman_1000 · 08-01-2021 09:38PM

Not to sound dramatic but this team will do well to finish in the top 4 never mind challenge for the title. something is very wrong behind the scenes. Klopp has definitely not been himself lately and it seems to be now rubbing off on the players. I'm not even expecting a reaction from them in the 2nd half.

He's not but every single time we play like this without him the response is nothing but people saying these performances don't happen with Henderson playing. He's not some magic talisman that stops lethargic performances.

He’d be fine as a squad player in a low-block Allardyce or Dyche team, but he’s not cut out for Liverpool and playing in a high line.

Twice in that final sequence someone played a ball to Wijnaldum and made a run into the box for the first touch 1-2, and both times Gini took a touch, waited, then turned around and passed it backwards to Henderson.

Far too much of that sort of stuff alright. You look at City's resurgence of late, and that's the difference. A quicker tempo, first time passes cutting through defences that can't react in time. We're so ponderous of late, taking so much out of the ball and giving the opposition time to plug gaps and track runs.

Ardent · 08-01-2021 09:39PM

Salah is really annoying me lately. I can accept him being utterly sh*t at the moment but not passing to Mane who was in a great position earlier is typical - greedy git.

Are you from the future? Are we losing now?

yourdeadwright · 08-01-2021 09:40PM

We need to buy a CB or Two ASAP
We need something to give life to the whole team get a CB in and Fabhino back into midfeild and mentally player will feel more confident

Am I losing my mind? The past few weeks have been nothing but "STOP TRYING TO WALK IT IN AND JUST SHOOT!!" and then Salah gets off one good shot from inside the box that forces a tough save from the keeper and we're back to "he should have passed"

That’s always been Salah though, it’s a trade-off you have to accept for a player as goal-hungry and ruthless as him.

But yeah, it’s annoying as f**k to watch sometimes.

OK, you've made your point, and hammered it home a few times at this stage, you win.

If Mane and Salah can get their groove back then this will be worthwhile.

Otherwise it's just a glorified training session

You think 😂

Iused2likebusts · 08-01-2021 09:42PM

People used to think the likes of mig and karius didnt hold us back too much until they seen what a proper goalkeeper can do. It's the exact same with Williams and Phillips as CBs we don't stand a chance this season if they have to play games.

He’s probably been the best of our front 3 recently.

Fitz* · 08-01-2021 09:43PM

If Salah gets a chance to shoot from that area of the penalty box, I generally want him to shoot because he will score a lot. It's why he does score so much.

~Rebel~ · 08-01-2021 09:44PM

Klopp's head in hands reaction to the goal sums the half up really.

Would expect a response second half and a big increase in passing tempo, but it shouldn't require a half time bollocking to do that.

Agent Coulson · 08-01-2021 09:44PM

Fab is so badly missed in midfield.

DJIMI TRARORE · 08-01-2021 09:44PM

Anybody think klopp has lost the dressing room, the performances r getting worse by the game

banie01 · 08-01-2021 09:45PM

That Villa goal was very reminiscent of peak Owen IMO.

The centre backs should have dealt with it better, Williams in particular.
Can't see the villa kids holding us back for the entire 2nd half, can we?

Salah needs to gee up his decision making too.
