Obviously we notice it when it happens to us but most of us watch many more of our games than other team’s games. When our players slip it naturally matters, if another team have a problem, we either don’t notice or enjoy the consequences, if there are any. I’d be interested to know if there are any stats on this and if clubs, particularly us, monitor them? It certainly happens more than it has done for us previously in the last few months. I know it happens away from home but it was the Arsenal game i think. The pitch was absolutely soaked at half time and come second half players were losing footing several times and the pitch was kicking up. The pitch was relaid a few years back so I'm at a loss. Did we lose a groundsmen?Might be a drainage issue or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoony Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 Me and my Liverpool supporting mates all noticed it in the Liverpool game. It’s definitely an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ciggiesnbeer Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 (edited) Seems like every home game. When even Philip Coutinho is slipping on this surface with these studs you know its not the player. Edited May 19, 2022 by ciggiesnbeer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoony Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 Barnes slipped for his penalty as well. It’s definitely an issue. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister_a Posted May 20, 2022 Author Share Posted May 20, 2022 Their Goalkeeper also practically fell over after a goal kick from slipping. It's mad how much I notice it now lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 At least half a dozen time per home game at the moment. Not sure what is going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MakemineVanilla Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Don't they reinforce the turf with synthetic mesh; that might have something to do with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This conjures all up sorts of nonsense imagery in my head Players just re-positioning slightly in defence and completely stacking it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
est1874 Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Surely Gerrard and his team have noticed this and will address it. It's maddening seeing players slip on the pitch while in possession and lose it. As if we need further/external impediments to our ability to control a football.

I was unsure what you meant… also looks like it’s about to piss down in this photo, so definitely doesn’t need watering! I do agree. We seem to over water it and every player slips all over the place. Something not quite right! Edited May 20, 2022 by villan-scott 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
