Greenlizard0 PL & Championship Football Thread ** spoilers ** [29th Oct - 1st Nov 2021]

Liverpool winning the title easily this season. Chelsea and Man City have their frailty but Liverpool are just solid.

Agree, It's Liverpool's title. For me they have got back what they had in 2019-20. Relentless even when they go down or have an off day. Just like the Liverpool teams of the 80's where if you scored they hurt you right back again. Again, I don't see City winning anything this year. Salahs on another planet.

Not sure Morton's up to the challenge of competing with players like Bissouma just yet but he can't do any worse than Ox and Jones did in that half defensively. Slow to close down, slow to press and both poor positionally.

Edit: Konate rushing out again nearly cost us, Matip on please.

 

[C Kent]

Stupid offside

 

[Purdy]

Be ideal if we can get a little more fortunate with these goals and put this away, Brighton are very good.

Klopp needs to sort our midfield out fast, Brighton are in complete control thanks to how slack Jones and Ox are.

Bit short of options there at the minute with the injuries. We badly need Fabinho back.

Id be looking at bringing Jota on personally.

Salah fouled the entire time there but you just won't get that without possession of the ball

Jota for Firmino and Morton for Ox. Neither can keep possession today.

Not seen it yet but the City red sounds very much like the foul by Evans on Auba earlier and he only got a yellow for that.

Jota purely to push them back and for legs. Bit soon for Morton but Minamino could be worth a look. Ox played 90 midweek so i cant see him playing 70 mins here.

Bit closer to the goal but very similar.

 

[C Kent]

We're getting very sloppy last 5/10 minutes, need a freshen up in midfield and up front

When we play like this, Klopp usually reacts when we concede and not before.

 

[Tombstone]

Its going to be very annoying if both City and Chelsea drop points and then we end up blowing a 2 goal lead against Brighton

 

[Sui]

Great play, great goal

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

And there we go, 2-2.

That's on Klopp, needs to put his glasses back on.

 

[Purdy]

Shocking lack of inaction in response to our issues this half. Defense is utterly exposed and out numbered, nothing they can do.

 

[C Kent]

FFS had to be trossard didn't it

 

[Purdy]

Who were the people thinking Liverpool looked solid ?
Once again we have another full half of a game we've completely lost control and thrown away large leads. Fabinho shaped injury away from disaster at all times.
