Match Day Thread Liverpool v Rangers

Reminding himself of ISTANBUL.

 

Bloody hell. We've missed some there but not many fired wide in fairness. 1-0 and waiting for other shoe to drop now, that's the usual fear.

Just need the cushion now. Esp with 4 forwards on as it'll only slow up from here.

Rangers are dire.

Hopefully it'll all come good. There's more aggression today at least.

 

Can’t really fault that tbh. Finishing could be better. Hit too much at the keeper, but dominated, build up plays been good. Lots of good movement. Everyone looks comfortable.

Jota picking up good positions roaming around.

Nunez movement is top quality.

Salah looks lively when he gets the ball. Same for diaz.

 

Decent half just need to get that 2nd goal. Don't think I can stick another Wishi thread if we don't get 3 points.

 

We look like Liverpool tonight.

Intensity, putting the oppo under real pressure, forcing errors and creating chances.

Nunez looks pretty good tonight

 

Defensively so much better, if we do lose the ball having the two midfielders behind the ball rather than miles in front if it is closing off their attack before it begins.

The forwards look so fluid. It's been years since I've seen our forward line like this.

All 4 are moving, causing confusion.

Trent good god has been excellent, but he's playing on the right rather than pulling into the middle, it suits him so much better.

 

As an additional its easily dismissed as its only rangers but I'd much rather we try something now than against city or arsenal, or god forbid trundle along as we where

 

Clear pen that. Good tuning from diaz.

 

Get in. We'll deserved

 

I'll admit I was worried about the link up play between the 4 without Firmino, but those worries have proved unfounded so far.

 

Relief.

Now just keep going for 90.

Subs who come.on have to show the same aggression.

That's a sparker.

Elbow in the face.

How the **** is ferguson let in here lol.

How many managers are in tonight

Who's sat beside the old soak?

I recognise but can't put a name to the old face.

 

Indeed. Now's the time to experiment, but... Will it work against a semi-decent team too .. we'll find out soon.

 

Few times refs given it to wrong team. Corner I first half that he gave as a rangers goal kick. That throw then that rangers player clewrly kicked out

 

Best save of night that.

 

Bollocks salah. 4 queuing up.

You've got your goal. Wtf.

 

So subs?

Milner for tsimikas

Firmino for jota

Fabinho for thiago

 

Napoli smashing Ajax away which is good for ur to get out group. Means they win at home and we beat rangers away then just need a point. From final 2 games

 

TAA… what a cross. Guy is ridiculous with ball st his feet.

brilliant clearence from Goldson

 

I'd back us in a European knock out game at anfield against most sides so I don't care about first v second after that first group game.

Second will do quite nicely and an easy run to it. Rangers will be better at home next week.

Just need to do the job

 

It's be nice if lundstrom would do us the favour of giving a cheap second yellow here so he's suspended for next week.
