Match Day Thread LFC v Nottm Forest

Which beer were you drinking?.

 

Not me, you sausage - the team.

 

Very comfortable afternoon and some lovely link up play, few bits a pieces that didn’t pull off but nice to see the invention and intent when playing teams sitting deep like that.

Thought we played some lovely stuff in the first 60 mins and Szob in particular was excellent .

 

it doesn't sound too good for diaz so far.

 

Didn’t really go noticed but was lovely tackle from Mac to set up the counter for that first goal. Wins the ball and plays it forward quick to allow us to put number them. He does have that ability and think in these games where dominate the ball he’s perfect in that role.

Really liked Salahs pass for the 2nd as well. Was the little stop then pass which just out the defender off balance so couldn’t even attempt to make the block on the pass to szobo.

Salah has always had that creative ability but think before it’s been with quick counters and dribbling through players but he seems to really have come on with his passing this season - or maybe just more noticeable as he’s not dribbling past 2 or 3. Some lovely through balls, going back to Newcastle game and couple more through balls today. Becoming an even more rounded player

 

First things first, thoughts are with Luis Diaz and his family. Praying that his father will come home safe and well.

Nice to see us taking full advantage of a low block team, it's been a long time coming. Masterclasses from Macallister, Szoboszlai, Virgil and shout out to Salah who's adding more and more to his game and breaking records along the way. Nice touch by Jota holding up the shirt and to the fans. Also respect to the Forest fans for the " .... 97, end tragedy chanting" banner.

Consistency is key now.

 

Routine win without getting out of 2nd gear. We played some wonderful football at times, which is no surprise as we have real technical quality in all 3 midfield positions.

Mac had his best game but I just love Dom. What a player ... I knew the lad could attack and press relentlessly, but his actual defending (positional awareness / anticipation) is unreal. We've not had this from the RCM in a long time.

not had any midfielder like Dom for a very long time .

 

he's naturally the player henderson thought he was (but wasn't)

 

Keep saying this "without getting out of second gear" comment

We played very well, they weren't great, but we played some quality one and two touch football at times that most teams would have struggled to contain, that's not "second gear" stuff FFS.

Why be arrogant and disrespect to the opposition by suggesting it was piss easy and them being bad made us look good? We were ****ing good!!!

 

agreed the last 20-30 mins we went into slumber mode but before that some lovely interchange football
