Greenlizard0 PL & Championship Football Thread ** spoilers ** [19th - 22nd August 2022]

I agree. But we've nobody in that mould available. Carvalho looks great but is too offensively minded for this match. That's why I think we should move Trent into midfield this match. He can be that dynamism and play where he wants without leaving gaping holes behind him.

I don't think being a dynamic midfielder is his skillset personally, I think we should change Elliot's starting position to be more central with Trent taking up the space on the right. More how we played a few seasons back

 

[Psycho Ned]

Thing is not like Liverpool really started pegging them back by playing well they've just voluntarily started sitting deeper and deeper and letting them play themselves into the game.

If we had a bit more quality in the middle of the pitch we could be taking Liverpool apart on the counter here. Unfortunately we have McTominay and its far too congested for Fernandes.

 

[mid_gen]

Martinez is looking good, quick, decisive, physical, impressed with him this first half.

 

[The_One]

thats a penalty

 

[adam cool dude]

You can see we are a bit like a Liverpool before they got Alisson (In terms of how ETH wants to play)

De Gea has obviously been told to go long and Liverpool are just picking up the second ball straight away.

Great goalkeeper too

 

[McBain]

Damn that would’ve been an outstanding OG

No, nor do I, but I think he's the closest thing we currently have.

I agree that I'd prefer to see Trent staying slightly wider and a bit less inverted though

 

[Purdy]

That’s the sort of **** that goes your way when you’re nailed on to win, wos

 

[antijoke]

KLOPP OUT

 

[Calpol]

Utd losing momentum now only a matter of time

United, have sat off since they scored. It's annoying really as Liverpool were so slow to start. We've defended quite well but the midfield has no cohesion.

There's barely a midfield on the pitch, from either team

 

[fez]

If someone offers us decent money for Rashford we should bite their hand off. He isn't even that quick anymore and his ability to beat a man has completely evaporated. Its nothing to do with confidence. He tries to beat his man a lot and fails 9/10. He simply isn't worth his wage and he doesn't bother to press or work for the team.

 

[Purdy]

Firmino and Milner off please

Milner giving so much effort but just so poor in translating it to a positive situation

 

[omnomnom]

That's a bad challenge that by Dalot. What on earth is he complaining about

However, he's offered a lot more than Firmino tonight.

Red card?

 

[robfosters]

I’m confident Liverpool with turn it around

 

[Tombstone]

Utd deserve the lead at HT. As for us...we're a mess. We've been a mess in each match so far this season. Basically playing with no midfield in every match. Could end today with 2 points from the first 9. 7pts adrift of the league leaders already
