MakemineVanilla Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 Good in flashes but lack the quality to score. Defence looking vulnerable and so probably a day when Liverpool will improve their goal-difference. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laughable Chimp Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 Why is Watkins starting over Ings? Just now, Don_Simon said: Just jumped in to see a match thread, two pages long. Has the game been THAT nondescript?! Its actually been quite an entertaining game of football. If you were a neutral. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CLARETANDBLUEFOXY Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 I don’t even get excited when we surge forward because even if the goal was open we haven’t got anyone who can actually score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andym Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 Controversial opinion, high line in open play isnt the issue. Most of Liverpool's shots when they get through that way have ended up being clearly offside. Liverpool will create chances whatever system you play. Our high line setup from set pieces however has cost us 2 conceded from set pieces so far, plus a disallowed goal that was barely offside. Also a couple of other great chances for them where we are ball watching from wide free kicks In general terms, too many are below par. Luiz has been awful, Buendia hasnt done much and is failing to help Digne, Watkins cant finish 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 We looked like clowns on the second goal. Ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't let the couple early chances fool you, we've been horrid. Unai's high line is a disaster with these players against Nunez and Salah. Our defenders are as bad as they can be. High line not helping. Luiz is terrible and so is Ollie. Don't agree with how you've phrased this at all. It's not been disastrous. The high line has created issues sure, but we've created chances. I do agree that Ollie has been terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VT Supporter flashingqwerty Posted December 26, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted December 26, 2022 Olsen - -1 - dire, would prefer Marshall to play Young - 4 - looks headless and made a lot of mistakes. Not helped by our lack of width. Konsa - 4 - very lucky to not have given away 2 goals with sloppy play and looks generally off the pace Ming's - 8 - been imperious so far Digne - 6 - ok McGinn -6 - a few sloppy passes a few nice passes still losing possession too easy and often Luiz -3 - really poor today Buendia - 6 - done ok but looks very slow and weak. Kamara - 7 - done quite well but not helped by those around him Bailey -7- some really nice moments, but probably should have scored Watkins - 3 - he's there to score goals, should have had 2 or 3. Such a poor finisher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 Feels like a Christmas hangover - midfield too easy to push around and exposing the full backs. Ref blowing for Liverpool every 5 seconds is making it harder to get any flow. Poor finishing and defensive lapses just maddening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshVilla Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 DIdn't realise McGinn was even playing. Completely invisible and hasn't turned up like the rest of the team i suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luiz totally off today and the high line not pragmatic against Liverpool Mate that was a shocking half .

the_eristic Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 Outnumbered in midfield, useless at finishing, nearly everyone looking a step too slow. Need to get The Donk™ on and probably another striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least 1, the header. Possibly the offside miss, with his slower pace might have kept him onside and he'd probably have finished it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
