Match Day Thread Villareal v Liverpool CL SF L2

Robertson typifying our first half, ball in the left back position, loads of time, no pressure, slams it up the pitch to no one, this has been shocking from ally to jota.

 

yeah but it’s not hard to figure out. Both goals were very sloppy.

 

There's no fight in us. That can only be because they think they're already through. Absolutely ****e performance so far. I have faith that Klopp will get them going for the second half, but we shouldn't need to make things so hard for ourselves.

Hendo deffo comes on at half time at the bare minimum.

 

Half time reset. Go out and don't do what we did first half.

If we play our normal possession based football we should still be favourites. Forget the 2-0 we are still square and even and start fresh from here.

 

I think it's hard to get them going after how slow and **** we've been.

Villareal will come out flying again and get a 3rd

 

Trent wouldn't go block the first cross. Roberston the second. We are infamous for letting the ball in.

We do not like to block crosses.

 

Unai Emery is good in cup compitions was he there when Sevilla beat us in the Europa league?.

 

Just like against City first half, we cannot cope with high energy press and hard running. Villarreal are simply working harder than us.

The rain isnt the only shower out there.

 

Yep

 

Need somebody to get a grip, we can't keep hold of the ball, not helped by kicking it long everytime.

Henderson on definitely, I'd be tempted by Diaz for jota and move mane central.

But most if all they need to calm down, a nice cup of tea and take a breath.

 

Just pass the ball to someone in red ffs

 

Villareal haven’t even pressed particularly well. We’ve just panicked and whacked it long. Zero composure.

Thiago is meant to dictate play and be that player but he hasn’t managed to pass to a red shirt yet.

No idea how Keita is still on for second half.

 

Diaz coming on. Wtf is Keita still out there for?

 

Villareal came with a game plan it is working so far.

 

Shame I'm watching on BT, I'm fed up of Jake talking about the ****ing quadrouple. Honestly, the media put so much pressure on the players and deffo turn their heads the wrong way at times.

 

I mean that’s a stonewall pen.

TAA just got taken out off the ball after putting in that cross. Late, no contact in the ball.

Somehow those are never pens but outside the box it’s a yellow and a free kick.

 

We are paying the price of of not beating them by 5:0 at Anfield.

 

It's an interesting one.

Diaz is probably better suited to this than Jota, but think we all expected Keira off. He's either good or bad depending on the day and today isn't his good day.

 

Decent effort. Lucks not in there, big deflection onto the bar.

 

Oh diaz….

first time managed to pass the balls between the lines, link up between Keita and mane and diaz ****s up the shot. Tried to be too clever.

Better from Keita this half though
