The Bigfooty Liverpool Army

[peternorth]

We need Anfieldbul

 

[Zidane98]

Atalanta have been very good tbf.

 

[Gak Attack]

Yuck. Obviously a lot of injuries but thought that starting team was a lot more bland than it need to be.

 

[peternorth]

Need the next goal

 

[jod23]

With Ajax winning too weve gone from absolute box seat to now the group being up for grabs.

Started the day 5 clear of both Ajax amd Atalanta and now just two clear of both.

 

[Gak Attack]

Need the next goal

1 shot so far after 72 minutes. So unlikely! Pretty pathetic even with a weak team, its still at home.

 

[RossFC]

No shots on target. Awful.

 

[jod23]

3 shots 0 on target. Thats crazy.

 

[GOALden Hawk]

We deserve to be 2-0 down, been awful. Hardly surprising given the side we've put out and Atalanta are a good side - that 5-0 win a few weeks back was incredible really.

Not ideal given we will now have to roll out close to our best XI available in the last 2 games.

 

[peternorth]

I blame Sky

 

[Zidane98]

Hendo, Thiago, Ox need back desperately. Gini needs a rest.

 

[Gak Attack]

Gone from potentially securing advancing with 2 games left to two teams within 2 points of us. Obviously still in a great position but would have been nice to not have to risk key players in the final 2 games.

Will mean we need to play first xi in those games to secure passage.

We do things the hard way

 

[Dylan8]

The guys are really affected by Diego's passing

 

[RossFC]

This crap performance hurts our PL campaign as well.

Yep and get 3 days to Brighton, 4 days to Ajax and 4 days to Wolves. Hopefully get a few back.

 

[QuietB]

Liverpool have never looked like it.

Shocking team selection

 

[jod23]

I dont think Mane has ever played this poorly in his life.

 

[jod23]

We can still confirm progress with a won over Ajax at Anfield. Then we can run out the reserves at Mland.

 

[jod23]

First time since the big injuries to our defenders have our replacements being really exposed. Both Williams were really poor.

I would rather have seen Taki start instead of Origi.

Everyone was poor. No spark, really flat.

We will bounce back im sure.

Correct. It is nowhere near panic station.

• Only 5 first team starters lined up tonight
• One of those recovered from COVID only days ago
• 3 of the back 4 were playing their first handful of games for Liverpool - very inexperienced back 4.
• Midfield was really bland from a creative point of view and were also spending too much energy protecting the back 4
• Origi completely disrupts the front 3

It is hard to know what Klopp was doing? Injuries have forced his hand with the back 4 and midfield but why disrupt the front 3 as well?

There was way too much change.

Yeah i thought Klopps team selection was poor. I get we needed to rest players and rotate so I guess he doesnt have a lot of options.

A couple of things I would have done was play Milner at RB as playing Neco, Rhys amd Tsimikas was a bridge too far for a back four.

But then who plays in midfield when you need to rest Fabinho. I would have played Taki in front of Div too.

Klopp did not have much to work with sadly.

Liverpool bench

 

[RossFC]

Nat Phillips now available for selection, hopefully Thiago, Hendo and Ox can help the midfield out soon. Not sure how long Shaq is out for.

 

[Cooldude]

Jurg is working closely with the medical staff so he knows when he has to rotate, it sucks but the schedule and the injuries were bound to catch up to us in one of these games.
