I can understand bring kieta along slowly and getting him up to speed. fabinho.... dunno what's going on there. he should have been at least after a full preseason ready to start and have Henderson come in as sub when coming back from world cup.. klopp will pick him when ready I suppose. I think we have seen today that irrespective of experimenting or making do or whatever it was 100% Henderson is my no 6 message. windy at right side cm didn t work today. he was poor.
We’ve had 1 bad game which we won.. 1 solid game v Brighton where we didn’t get the 2nd but were comfortable, hammered West Ham (no pun intended) and played wel v palace for majority of the game. Thise 2 average performances have been away at notoriously tricky grounds. Salah ah hasn’t been brilliant, 2 goals and a constant threat to defenders. Firm hasn’t been his best but 9 goals in 4 games, take that as an attacking threat, especially with only 1 conceded.
4-0 v west ham... lets just say their tactics were awful.. really poor high line. mane score late in first half and it just killed them. 2-0 v palace sounds regulation type game. but we never threatened them and got a handy pen in first half. it was a stupid error that gave us goal and then they get a lad sent off when he foul salah on break which killed game.. it wasn't great 1-0 v Brighton was easy first half.but we never came out second half... now today. 2-0... Leicester were decent but not at centre and frankly we did ok for 20 ish mins then they did well and frankly second half we were really poor. so for me... we have 4 wins without putting in one complete performance. we need more in the next game. I think we all know it. if we do what weve done so far we will be boned. I think it's mainly midfield and the frowards not being as busy. we need to work a bit harder. move the ball more quickly one touch but need more composure in advanced age.
Was really impressed with Shaqiri today. It wasn’t spectacular by any means but it was a really intelligent and professional cameo. He came on at a time when we were under the pressure and he provided us with an out ball and kept onto so well. Incredible body strength.
just watching MOTD. all Leicester big chances... Morgan gomez brilliant. Henderson played both gomez.and van dijk into trouble resulting in poor back pass. alisson clearly had easy clearance twice. it just looks stupid.
