Greenlizard0 Premier League Football Thread ** spoilers ** [14th - 16th January 2025]

Horrendous first 60, much better last 30 but not good enough. Today's a bit of an exception because Forest had one chance all game and took it but we can't keep leaving ourselves chasing games as we have these last few weeks. Forest were always going to sit deep and try to frustrate us and they defended well but I think our selection helped them. Szobo behind Gakpo, Diaz and Salah is great when sides leave us space to counter into but against a low block I'm not sure either Gakpo or Szobo (in that role anyway) offer enough composure or creativity. Slot clearly doesn't fancy him but for me the game was screaming out for somebody like Elliott.
 
Overall was pleased with a point from a Forest perspective. Jota changed the game as Liverpool were again stinking the place out before that, lucky he is back from injury.

Annoying to concede from a corner as we're usually very good with those but that changed the game and we had Sels to thank for a point after that, we looked out on our feet.

Think Liverpool will win what is a very poor league this season, as illustrated by us being second.
