The Bigfooty Liverpool Thread

[Lefti93]

Diaz at CF hasn't really worked out apart from the Leverkusen game. I'd havbe Jota up there for sure, Gakpo to the bench.

Jota is a literal game changer. The difference he provides is actually crazy.

Yeah he's gotta start for me. Even if he lasts 60-70 mins only.

 

[Zidane98]

Diaz wants to be on the same wages as Jota/Nunez for a new contract which is fair enough:





Barcelona want him but surely can't afford him let alone actually register him.

He should be on way more money than he is tbf.

Not convinced he's the answer. Nunez as well.

IMO we should extend Diaz' contract as it will be easy to sell him if we need to. If I were FSG I'd be looking at replacing Nunez if he continues on his current trajectory. Then, perhaps look at Jota a season down the track.

An insane XI on the pitch at the end of the match

Kelleher
Morton Quansah Endo Tsimikas
McConnell Jota Elliott
Chiesa Danns Nunez

Does Tsimikas need more minutes before considering him for a start? We all know Robbo has been poor at times (I think the knock had plenty to do with his poorness on the weekend).

The other question about Tottenham is who misses out in midfield and who plays striker.

If Diaz goes, go for Gordon.

Have Liverpool appealed the Robbo red card? There is a lot of talk they should.

Robbo's suspension is over.

How was Nyoni? I was kind of in and out of watching as I was very sleepy

Nothing special. But it's good that he didn't really struggle against a prem side.

Didn't the League Cup counted but I did see Slot served his suspension as well.

I'd go Curtis/Mac/Grav. Curtis is better a retaining possession than Szo, we need to keep the ball. Spurs will be getting at us at home, it's the way Ange plays.


And Jota must start at CF. He scores regularly against them, we need to capitalise on opportunities. I'd sub Darwin on against a tiring defense. Diaz to start on the left which is harsh on Gakpo but that's life in a team like ours.

 

[Cooldude]

Seeing as Gakpo got subbed half time, he's probably starting against Spurs with Diaz upfront

 

[Jars458]

Slot will get it right. Horrible time for the game

Dom, Nunez and Jota on at the 65 to run at a hopefully tired and leaky spurs defence.

 

[GOALden Hawk]

Nunez might actually go ok against Spurs given the high line they play.

Nice win today, semis will be tough as no easy teams left.

 

[Cooldude]

Would be a mistake to get into a shootout with Spurs, should be compact and pick off their high line

There is clearly a way to beat them. We've tactically been very good and sufficiently adaptable under Slot. This augurs well for a result on the weekend.

 

[foxdog50]

Did Endo play all game at CB? Good to see him win MOM

Tsimikas, how did he play?

 

[Cooldude]

Tierney on VAR for the spurs game, this will be fun

 

[peternorth]

mt fave part of the night was the commentator said they have to start well, finish well and do pretty well in between

 

[jod23]

How was Nyoni? I was kind of in and out of watching as I was very sleepy

I thought he started really well, he was playing more in field. Then about 20 mins in, Slot made a tactical change and Nyoni was playing wide right and really didnt get involved as much as he was in the first 20 mins and was kind of in and out of the game.

I wasnt sure why the tactical change happened. He didnt look out of place though at all.

I disagree
