Lukaku's hold up play has been pants

Mane's having a bit of a stinker today, wouldn't mind Minamino on for him.

Yeah I thought he'd been pretty flat footed, but he was excellent for the goal and a couple of other occasions

 

[Purdy]

Sub just before corner? Time to concede

 

[Tombstone]

Looked like VVD was limping there for a moment

 

[Purdy]

Lol Klopp with some thought delaying that

 

[Tombstone]

Come on..stick on Ox or Minamino, someone who will run at them, too much passing laterally at the moment.

 

[antijoke]

Game is dead now. 1-1 it is

Lukaku's hold up play has been pants

Thats because his control and first touch are **** at the best of times. If someone is genuinely haranguing him he is even worse.

Amazing how people were gushing over him and saying hes a completely different player to the one that left United. Yeah, hes just spent a few seasons in a much ******* league. At least he is a bit slimmer currently.

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

The lack of movement is a real problem for us, you watch City and everyone's moving and looking for space. We pass and move between players but the players without the ball are always so static.

 

[McBain]

Where’s that gif of the horse falling over the ball because that’s Lukakus touch today

 

[Tombstone]

This is still the difference between Liverpool and Man City, in this situation City put teams to the sword whereas we still lack the killer instinct.

 

[Tombstone]

Why Tsimikas? Why not an attacker???

 

[badgeruk]

Sigh

 

[Purdy]

0 urgency when Chelsea actually press up also. Players are a bit clueless

Mo lol

 

[manic111]

Why Tsimikas? Why not an attacker???

Because none of them offer any more than the players on the pitch...

 

[Purdy]

Yeh Robertson been gash last 25 minutes, Tsimikas been good going forward

 

[McBain]

Not a fan of Jorginho at all but he’s been solid today

 

[Tombstone]

Because none of them offer any more than the players on the pitch...

Its not necessarily about offering more, its about offering something different, Ox and Minamino are both more direct. Go for the win not just let the game dribble along for a point. If this ends 1-1 then it will be 2 points dropped, given the circumstances, rather than 1 point won.

 

[Kelt]

If it stays 1-1 it will feel like a win for Chelsea.
