Greenlizard0 PL & Championship Football Thread ** spoilers ** [2nd-4th Oct 2020]

Unbelievable scoreline. Had a bit of a silly bet with Villa to win, both teams to score and Watkins to score and ended up with 75 quid from a fiver.

Gomez worries me, always has. I don't think he's as good a CB as people make out, would rather see Matip in there when fit

Keeper that can't save anything and a right back that's usually in a different postcode. The amount of pressure on him is ridiculous, he knows he has to do two jobs by himself.
 
I'm genuinely terrified at the prospect of Adrian in goal for another prolonged period. Yes others have been at fault too but he sets the tone for every thing and that mistake he made for the first goal he's made about half a dozen times since he joined - against Southampton and Atletico last season he was punished but there were a few more like that which he got away with. He thinks he's far better than he is on the ball.

People will talk about our defence but the midfield has been a bigger issue today. We play a high line and if you keep allowing good players to turn, run at your back 4 and have time to play through balls then you're going to get punished. We've been too sloppy in posession and when we've lost it we've not been in position to win it back.

I have no issue with Adrian really but we need to change our style. He isnt Alisson...he isnt close to Alisson so stop messing about at the back.

clearly offside

For me he is because he's right in front of the keeper and is clearly going to influence his decision.

Adrian is nothing to do with how crap Gomez has been

I do think whilst we play a high line klopp surely has to adjust it sometimes and drop it back.

High line isn't the major issue here though as you said. The total lack of control in the middle and defence being useless tonight isn't helping
 
Had a bet on Juventus v Napoli tonight, but Napoli havent turned up for the game lol and I dont mean that they arent playing well, I mean they physically havent turned up :)

If players are making mistakes then a high line will get exposed far more easily. Klopp should've reacted immediately when they had a chance to make it 3-1 but to do nothing and keep watching the same thing happen is just bad management.
 
Some poor decisions aside we’ve been frail and Villa have been good, don’t think it’s worth trying to pin much of the loss on it.

As Baz said above, just having Adrian sets the tone and then he makes that mistake.

When you've got a keeper passing it to the opposition every other game it spreads uncertainty around the pitch. And you can complain about Gomez but how many times did Villa have clear breaks on us? We play a high line because we want to squeeze the opposition and to stop their attacks at source - the midfield haven't done that. Every time we've lost the ball we've ended up with Villa running straight at our back 4 with time to pick passes out.
