We gave ourselves too much to do with our awful 1st half. You dont often get anything from a game where you concede 3 goals in one half.
Tell you what nunez was also totally anonymous. He tried his best to run about but he was **** as normal on the offside line. Absolutely **** show and imo if he doesnt make changes next week he is making a massive mistake. Salah shouldn't start. Konate should not start.
Bright spots... Not just his goal (which was one of the best I've seen this season) Mac looked good Diaz looked lively. Gakpo put in a good performance. Elliot and Bradley did well from the bench. Jones, for playing in his not normal spot was acceptable. Most of the rest of the team could have played better.
There has to be a reaction to how poor that is. Surely its time that he does what you want. Start Elliott and quansah and make a point
It's at least worth considering both are fresh but at least give them time Elliott constantly shows he can be effective other than the FA Cup but he was playing in a poor team that game.
Well if he would pass it forward once in a while he would play. But this is about dropping players most of all. Put in chiesa if he likes but salah should be like a scalded cat on the bench. If Diaz can sit out after playing OK v Everton how can salah never ever get dropped.
Yeah the manager should be looking at who needs a rest, who isn't playing well and react. He's at Liverpool there's quality available use it.
We’re still 11pts ahead with 7 games to go incl at home against Arsenal. The world hasn’t ended because of a dreadful first half. Yes, Iwould have been more bothered if how we played had carried on for the second half and we had got beat 6-1 or something, but we didn’t. We scored and still had enough chances to score 2 or 3 more. Slot isn’t immune from criticism far from it but games like these are showing up deficiencies that need to be addressed in the summer. No.1 plastic son is moaning about the refereeing in the Everton Arsenal match for Everton’s penalty. I just said to him, Everton scored in the 49th minute, Arsenal then had almost another 50 minutes to score and couldn’t, quit crying.
Fulham have a serious problem with this style thrley have. They can look great and play either with intent on the counter or just flood you with a press but they always fall off and tbh there Elliott his the bar and chiesa and Elliott have poor efforts that were saved at the end. Whatever it is in sliva and his side rhry are their own worst enemies.
Mate, they were 3-1 up at the break. It was obvious to all that Liverpool would be a different team in the second half, so had to defend, which they did?
Yeah but every single game this happens. I mean they had us on toast at anfield, we were down to 20 and they did exacty the same. The stat shown put them alongside the releated teams in terms of dropping points from winning positions. It's not about dropping to a counter style, they stop finding each other, they stop going with intent and speed where a counter is on. It's very odd.
Hopefully Bradley is good and can just go 7/7 for rest of season now. Hes still young and has learning to do but his energy and ability carrying the ball and short passing game is top notch. Elliott has to be given a chance. Yet again szobo was anonymous, only time he ran was to close down Leno 3/4 times in first half. That midfield is still being overrun. Konate & Robbo one of worse games seen in a long time but we gifted them 2 goals, then the 3rd is just a brilliant touch (luck/genius?) that 9/10 messed up and goes to kelleher. Slot ****ed it up last 15 mins as we were pushing for the equaliser but Elliott almost made it 3-3 and could have easily just finished with a point on another day. Slot has to realise that a top quality player at 80% in the prem can’t compete with a good player at 100% so players like szobo grab Salah have to be rested at some point.
Third wasn't lukc nor just brilliance. It was vvd not securing his area and making sure he did his job. lackadaisical and arrogant thinking he has all day. He actually hardly made a header. Dominate? Pah.
I agree... But this has been coming. We've been bad for a month or more now it was inevitable someone would beat us in the league soon
