Liverpool FC Premier League Champions 25/26 - Talk /Gossip/Rumours

Far too passive in the first half, and we have been all season really. I'd go far to say since Slot has taken over, we've been mostly poor in first halves. 2nd half started ok, but fcuk me that last 15 was about as awful a way to manage the game as I've seen for a long time.

The Robbo sub came about 10 minutes late, and the fact we've no other midfielders really looked like it took its toll. Wirtz looked half dead walking off and Macca, I dunno what's happened there. Doesn't help that Bradley is made of glass and Frimpong decided he wanted to fight the ref. Glad its over as the first half was absolutely dire and the last 15 was panic stations.

You can't hold that against Bradley, Spence fell on his ankle and trapped it under him.

We should have scored one or two more, especially when they were pushing with 9 men but our players were out on their feet. We are suffering a bit from injuries at the worst time and that is just bad luck you cannot account for.

Their goal was a mess but they created chaos in the box and no team in the world defends those well. Arsenal conceded late against Sunderland, it is just the way football goes at the moment. Throw men in the box and lump it in, it is not pretty but effective. We needed fresh legs for the quick breaks but due to the injuries we still had Ekitike and Wirtz on the field when they should have been subbed already.

There is also a nervousness among our players from memory muscle this season so it is no surprise it was not great the last 15 minutes, but hopefully they will now feel that it is not going against them all the time and they saw this one out. That will hopefully give them some belief that they can see it out, we do need to sort out our counter-attacks though to kill of teams.

At the end of the night and for Christmas, 3 points is all that matters. Lets hope the injuries aren't too bad and for once we have gotten a little lucky with the schedule as we have Wolves next and at home and then Leeds at home. It will only be good luck with the schedule if we win though.

Slot must have it drilled into them to not concede first.

How is it possible that eleven players playing against nine cannot simply keep the ball . You often see eleven v eleven playing keep ball.

Kerkez is number 1. I don't agree he should be, although he has improved. Robbo is still a better option imo.

It's a long season. He'll get plenty of minutes yet.

Whinge when we win , whinge we we lose. People need to seriously get a grip. Away win at spurs and seems like people who have already made their mind up on slot are raging we won. We had many chaotic ending to games under Klopp somilar to this. As long as we win i couldnt give a toss how. "This win is worse than a defeat"- gimme a break!

Someone said it earlier but you could clearly see Slot telling the team to push out when they were dropping back.

Is VVD giving on field instructions to drop back and not listening to Slot?

What makes Liverpool different is pace power drive energy desire commitment consistency skill. If that game was at Anfield it would have been a morgue. That game was a stepping stone to nothing. Other than Slots insistence on playing out of form players and stamping out morale. That bloke with the hanky on his head never ever should he be allowed around the place.

The tackle on Isak was pretty poor tbh. Non league type tackle.

Id say most us remember those days.

Boards is our social media.

Well, it started in 81 for me.

But tonight they won the hard way when it should have been the easy way

There is a theme of getting away with it at the moment that won't last. You can't keep playing as poorly and expecting to get results.

Harking back to the good old days of glorious football. Are we back doing this again. I thought we'd passed that baton to someone else 😂

There was a lot of muck between 1990 and 2014! Lots of good stuff too of course.
