Match Day Thread vs Stoke (A)

Wonder if it will ever occur to Ford to not cut back inside but actuall take it forward on his left
you never know it might confuse the oppo

oops he's out anyway

 

Loads of pressing. In and around stokes defenders. Why could the three not do it all the time.

Couts is ****ed.....

 

Please don't bring Benteke on..

 

This is why none of our players give 100%..they are made of fecking cheesestrings!

 

Positive start, but no real threat yet.
Shame about Coutinho

 

That's it then. Ibe comes on and the ten others stop playing eh?

 

Firmino, Lallana certainly do press. Coutinho's level has dropped.

But the reason it's so evident is because ALL of them are pressing. Benteke is lazy and it falls down. It's no coincidence.

 

Have to wonder if Klopps training methods are having some effect...

Hoe many hamstrings is that now?

 

Positive start - hopefully we can sustain it.

Fluid, dynamic and pressing hard. Midfield is up for it.

 

I'd say OK, it's a 3 weeker by the look of it. Really if he's played so much. ... Meh. ... red zone new buzz word I suppose

 

Crap. Coutinho out?


That probably means Benteke on? Not watching but sounds like doing well and getting space.

Isn't that always the case. Give us space and we will punnish. Sounds like game will suit Benteke.

 

No preseason to train them up I reckon will be the excuse

 

His style is certainly more intensive - and without a preseason for the players to grow accustomed, it almost feels it was inevitable.

 

More to do with no longer getting Rodgers special individual player regimes which seemed to consist of playing fifa and getting together for paella

 

There goes my chance of seeing Coutinho Friday

 

Might be coincidence but wouldn't surprise me if it has had some effect. Manager has to take some responsibility and should have adapted things.

 

Haha how did that go Stoke's way??

 

On the bright side...

Coutinho hasn't been consistently good this season so we're not missing out on too much.

 

Dont think he was going to start anyway

 

The 3 up top did well. They have given us an awful lot of room but we have also done really well pressing on them quick when they have it at the back.. their CMs are very functional types.

We clearly have decided if they can't get it to front 4 then they are average

Very good

See that quick press in midfield. .. why have the team not done that for klopp. .. every game he demands it
