Match Day Thread vs R.Kazan (H)

He gave away the ball several times and lost his man for the goal...so yes, really.

 

65% possession now.

 

Brew Time !!

 

Several times? I don't think it was that many unless I missed them.

Agree about the goal - he pressed too hard but was easily beaten, but the real problem was the defending. Skrtel marking no one, and Clyne slow to recover.

 

There is only one captain at the moment - Sakho! Constantly talking to those around him, Leader.

 

Going to miss Lallana's brace in 2nd half... I Have to go to bloody state fair with kids.

 

I thought that Lallana was the only one having a go earlier. There has been a few worse players on the pitch than him, Origi being one of them.

 

Lallana been the only real decent player, getting some stick in here I can't really see why.

Coutinho trying to hard, got to pick your moments to attack and when we get the ball we're in too much of a rush. Far too narrow, no one stretching there defence and Origi offering very little as an outlet, when we do get the ball out wide to Moreno or Clyne there's not enough movement in and around the box.

Too static.

 

Klopps got a big job in front of him

we don't look like a team

 

I think Origi has done ok as he is isolated up front. Would like to see Allen off and Can moved into centre mid with Benteke coming on alongside Origi to really push them back

 

Can has got to do better defending, he falls asleep

 

Very much the sad legacy BR has left us with, a real shame he left us in such a terrible state quite frankly. We don't look like the sum of £300million

 

Maybe you did lol. I saw more than once. I'll crticise Skrts for fun but its not his job to track the runner..Agree with Clyne..got wrong side.

On a positive, Can did the only thing he could do and make up for it. Upped his game.

Its all too tight up front. No runners, narrow despite our FB's getting up and supporting a lot to start with.

 

Yeah, some encouraging signs from Origi

 

No, that's actually your football.

 

No doubt Lallana is trying hard and giving it a go... but what has he actually done? Again, all style and very little substance.

 

Actually completing passes and getting in to the right positions? More than can be said for the attacking players around him.

 

Origi is unlike his dad. Now there is a man who could hit the back of the net. My main issue is he doesn't win his headers doesn't hold up the ball well and worst is his failure to use his best asset pace.
Maybe it's age but I believe he will improve with time.

 

Exactly - it's the same issue we had with Benteke and Balotelli. They can only do so much with little creativity behind them.

 

Maybe but whats done is done. These guys need to realise they are playing for a new regime or get out
