Match Day Thread Leicester v Liverpool

Is it on TV...?

 

No...

 

relatively speaking yes but look at what we started out doing v stoke and ende dup doing by the end... we pressed up with one guy on schmeichel and cbs to stop the long punts.

If we sit deep and let leicester have it we are playing their game.

We have to close the channels they play in most down. thats the key.

 

OP

 

We have to continue to push high and press. We shouldn't be changing our game for anyone. However, we need to be aware of the counter attack. By playing our own game we are playing their game too as counter attack is their way.

 

Is that a yes or a no

 

read op.....

 

Most will laugh at this post but I've taken an interest in Leicester's "Moneyball " team and have streamed as many games as I can . It's like watching "Ground Hog Day " all over again .
They get pushed back early , have a super dangerous counter attack play , their opponents have a collective nervousness to what happened and keep one eye on their counter attack and lose their original plot . Best case was their last game against Man City , by the end of the game Leicester looked most likely to score although neither team did .

 

what channel...?

 

What makes you think it's the foreigners who don't sing?

 

Sat beside them.

 

o.....p....

 

#racism

 

Is that on Freeview?

 

Never heard of it. What number on Virgin Media...?

 

72... thats what you'll get when i martyr you.

 

So all foreigners are quiet and should be sat together away from everyone else?

Do all of the locals sing and shout?

Klopp watch:

1. joe allen

“For me Joe Allen was always a first-team player. He was not in the line-up a few times, that’s true.

“No doubt about his quality.

“Now he is 100 percent in shape. It’s the next transfer for us.

“I like his style and he showed what he’s capable of doing. He was always in (the first-team), but he wasn’t always fit.”

2. on being ****

“I would like to say we are finished (struggling defensively) and now we are perfect.

“But, you call it horrible defending but it wasn’t. All the goals come from set plays. You defend the first ball better and you get the second ball.

We spoke about it, we thought about changing formation.

“We couldn’t do it against Stoke and we didn’t do it against West Ham because it was a different team.

“But what we said is, first of all, our behaviour, attitude and desire in the situations we have to change. It is clear we can defend them better, so now hopefully we don’t have to talk about it any more.”

3. on leicester

Klopp on Leicester: "People talk about Mahrez and Vardy but whole team concentrated and focused. What they are going is great."

4. on life in england

“Yeah absolutely. Now I understand TV without subtitles.

“Now I know about the people and the competition.”

5. on transfers:

“I’m not sure what’s better for your job. So I can say maybe something happens or I can say the truth!

“No, you can finish work for the day.

“The outgoing side I’m not 100 percent sure.”

6. on injuries

Klopp: "Skrtel needs 2/3 days more before returning to training. Sturridge should return to training on Wed, Origi and Coutinho on Thurs."

7. On pep.

Klopp on Guardiola: "No advice. It's a long trip for him. When he's here he will get a warm welcome. He's one of best managers in world.

not even a book for the plane then jurgen?

 

Not necessarily locals but most of those who sing are regulars. Certain groups of "foreigners" are regulars and sing every week (especially the Norwegians and folk from Warrington). Most tourists spend 90mins behind their phone screens....wherever they are from.

You rarely get much noise from the Main or Centenary bar the Anny Rd end of the Paddock (and there never has been relative to the two ends).
