The Bigfooty Liverpool Thread

Good win against West Ham though, interesting how there has been barely any injuries so far, usually we see far more kids in this comp but that team against West Ham was very strong.

Why dont we ever get smaller sides.

Yep, It was very predictable what sort of side we'd draw against.

Every side we play is a smaller side. Well maybe not Real Madrid.

Not sure if posted, but also the rumoured home and away.

I’m not a fan of the double white stripes. Looks like I’ll buy the third kit as I always buy one each season.

Just a note on Slot and how we've started the season. We have a decent little sample size of the job so far and all things considered it's been a really good start under the new manager and I dont know if anybody is really talking that much about it.

Maybe the loss at home to Forest took some of the shine off but we've played 7 games in total so far this season and won 6 and lost 1. We've only conceded one goal in the league in 5 games. We've put 5 past West Ham in the League Cup, 3 past Milan in the CL and 3 past United at OT in the league.

And this is all early days too, we're are nowhere near as smooth as we'd like to be under Slot's new system. Be interesting to see how well we are playing after christmas or will we fall away as teams figure us out. Either way, the start has been really good all things considered.

I don’t believe that the defence has been as good as it looks on the outside looking in. We should’ve conceded more goals but we should’ve scored more as well. It’s definitely better than last season though. However, we’re still giving up excellent goal scoring opportunities to the opposition in a lot of games. In the crucial moments, this will probably cost us a title/cup, etc.

Surprised man city didnt get PNE or AFC Dons

Why dont we ever get smaller sides.

13 of the last 16 in the Cup are EPL sides. The other 3 are in the Championship. Not really any smaller teams available.

I do agree with this, still an impressive start but I have felt we've been lucky not to concede on a lot of occasions this season.

Slot says if Alisson gets through training today he should be fine to play.

10 man U21s beat Arsenal 3-0. Morton with a goal + assist. Nallo and Ranel Young with the other goals.

Harvey Davies was given 2 yellow cards in 6 seconds for time wasting.

XI: Davies, Miles, Nallo, Jonas, Norris, Hill, Morton, Pilling, Morrison, Young, Nyoni
Subs: Misciur, Pinnington, Davidson, Corness, Laffey

All the goals:

Alisson returns, Nunez out due to illness.

 

[jod23]

Back to the same 11 we always go with haha.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Getting bossed here. Can't string anything together

 

[gaskin]

We have started so poorly. I wouldn't be surprised if we concede soon.

 

[gaskin]

That was a foul all day. I don't know what the commentators and the Wolves fans are going on about.
