Greenlizard0 Weekend Football Thread ** spoilers ** [24th - 28th February 2017]

Liverpool really not playing with the verve and energy of a team that's had a two week break...a two week break to work on what's not been working this second half of the season. God help us for the rest of the season, certainly not getting 4th place that's for sure.
 
Yes because when I said the whole country wants a Liverpool win, everyone else thought I'd literally asked them all.

Apologies to the rest of the forum who I misled. There's 3 people I didn't get round to asking.
 
This could've been a cricket score. They've targeted Lucas all game and he's still on the pitch? Klopp needs a Tactics for Dummies guide.

Our pressing game's gotten worse and worse as the season's progressed. We started the season so well because of our fitness but that's caught up with us and we look like we've played 38 games already.
 
How do we go from stomping teams before christmas to only 1 win this year. Cant believe they went to spain for team building. should have been a week in grimsby training on mud pitches.
 
Everton and West Brom are creeping on that top 6, it's crazy we we could have 8 sides battling for top 5 or something. If Man U finish 5th, does 6th qualify for Europe?

Then it's down to Klopp and his team to recognise that and make the appropriate changes...but it appears that they haven't and/or won't.

As it's been said before, it would appear that we simply have no plan B at all :(

Yep, I said that at Christmas. We don't have the squad depth to play this style of football but he won't change so the players get burnt out and our performances suffer. Happened last Christmas/January and it happened during his last season at Dortmund as well.

Was pretty decent against Spurs.

Kane wasn't going to be constantly looking to run in behind him. There are people with no legs that are faster on the turn than Lucas is and if you could pick a player ideally suited to playing against Lucas it would be Vardy.

The problem isn't just Lucas but what's happened ahead of him. We've had zero control to our game today which is a rarity. Even when we've lost previously we've typically controlled the game. It's only been today and the Sunderland game where we drew that we've looked so open throughout the pitch.

It hasn't got worse at all.

Oh, yea I agree. It's a lazy criticism. When we're playing these sorts of games you aren't pressing much because you have the ball the majority of the game. It's been our performance on the ball that's been the problem not anything to do with fitness or pressing.
 
I'm sorry, but to lose to Leicester after losing to Bournemouth, Hull, Swansea and Burnley shows you where the problem lies and it's embarrassing. The travelling fans should get their money back because that was one of the most spineless, inept and disgusting performances I've seen in a long, long time.

Do these players look interested to people or not because to me they don't look remotely bothered to me.
