Greenlizard0 Premier League Football Thread ** spoilers ** [4th - 6th January 2025]

Zirkzee has been good since he came on, much better than Hojlund.

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

He’ll never be the threat of him, theres a reason Real want him and not bradley.

He did well enough last year when he came in, most notably against Chelsea. Wicked cross and a decent strike. We play different this year and can’t afford to carry Galactico’s.

What TAA offers going forward is worth it’s weight in gold.

It was under Klopp, as we had a midfield that was utterly workmanlike and covered him. Under Slot our midfielders actually create and score, so we need less of that from our full backs. Moving Trent back to a regular right back position has helped to add solidity, but his defending will never be better than ok and is often worse.

Arguably under their system a proper right back who bombs up and down actually fits in much better.

Real rarely need to defend in their league, so its not an issue for them if someone isnt as strong defensively, if Real were in a highly competitive league Trent might well not be their first choice due to his defensive issues.

Zirkzee has been good since he came on, much better than Hojlund.

He is either great or awful. One game comes on and looks classy and dangerous and the next time he looks completely out of his depth. Deffo best as a sub once a game has opened up.

 

[manic111]

He didn't stop looking at him, just charged straight into his head. Tough to see how that isn't violent conduct, he wasn't even looking at the ball.

Players back in all the time. Nunez went at it overly hard, but if you start penalising that then Salah gets sent off 5 times a season

Liverpool have offered a huge contract to Trent, no? Slot clearly wants to keep him

 

[JamesH85]

A draw at Anfield and not conceded from a corner, United have gotta be well happy with that.

 

[Purdy]

Robertson you’re a ******* clown

 

[AStaley]

This is the most frustrated I’ve been watching Liverpool, really feels like we’ve thrown points away.

 

[el_dazza]

You do NOT want Maguire in that position!!

 

[C Kent]

Robbo is so poor at corners

 

[eurokage]

Oh Maguire...

 

[Tombstone]

Lol, Maguire probably the last person you want with the ball to feet at that moment

 

[Robbo]

NooooooOOOOOOOOOOO Maguire WHY

 

[Converge]

All the crap Liverpool fans give us on here day in, day out and they couldn’t beat us today at arguably our lowest ebb in the modern era. Pleased with that performance today. Can’t believe Maguire missed that at the end.

 

[Purdy]

Pathetic from half that team and honestly Slot not hooking Trent

 

[manic111]

Poor from Maguire, but not a good pass from Zirkzee either. He's got all the time in the world and he bobbles it across rather than playing it flat

 

[Reuben klang]

Decent game that, fair result.

De Ligt tried his best to give Liverpool the win.

Maguire giving us a great laugh at the end there.

Zirkzee - position striker, I know I'll pass to a defender cos i can't shoot!
