2017-18 EFL Carabao Cup

[YNWA14]

Guy has his arms all over Ings and no call. So annoying.

 

[YNWA14]

If that had been Leicester it would have been a goal. No luck.

 

[Chimaera]

Liverpool out. Deserved. What a goal by that kid. Awful defending.

 

[Burner Account]

Pathetic.

 

[Savant]

No one defends the throw in and no one touches Slimani on the way in.

 

[YNWA14]

What a goal from Slimani.

 

[Live in the Now]

Feel obligated to point out that the team concedes about double the goals when Henderson is the #6 compared to Can.

Defensive Midfielder is merely a suggestion to Klopp. All of this is systematic.

 

[Burner Account]

Needed to make a run in this competition. That is a pretty early failure.

 

[YNWA14]

Completely coincidental. Can is an absolute passenger who barely defends at all and mostly looks to burst forward.

Liverpool kept many clean sheets to end the season when Can was in that position.

I don't really care about this game because if it mattered to Klopp Flanagan wouldn't be playing. But if you'll notice on the first goal our #6 was also standing there like a dope outside of the penalty area.

 

[YNWA14]

lol we're moving the ball around like a hot potato since Wijnaldum came off.

Also outside of the first 30 minutes Ox has been terrible on the right.

Why? Of all the competitions this is the one to get out early.

I don't understand your underrating of Can and your overrating of Lovren. Both are extreme.

Because they're not going to win trophies in the CL or EPL.

Someone watch Henderson leave the penalty area with all those players in there and tell me he's a good #6. I dare you.

Watch our games this season in which Can has played and only focus on him. He's just as bad as Lovren.

Seems to me like he should be standing roughly where Okazaki is.

That was last season. They aren't playing like that anymore. They are all standing around like dopes. They punch themselves out, get scored on, (usually against the run of play), and then lose their heads. It's the same story every game.

Yep. The knockdown is the defensive midfielder's job to get rid of. He is never ever there. Yet Can played in many games against these kind of teams in that position and they conceded less. That is not a coincidence.

Henderson is a decent #8 and nothing more, but he lacks end product and we rely on him way too much.

I don't agree. The last time they won this cup it didn't move the needle at all. Only winning FA Cup will be seen as an accomplishment.

 

[Chimaera]

I feel bad for Ward and Woodburn. Neither will get a match for a while now.

Can might have been rested because he played Saturday. But I do feel like Can is better option against these teams.

What Liverpool really should do, is sign Thomas Delaney.

 

[Chimaera]

Note, winning silver is a goal this year. But honestly, if they're going to try to stay in the top 4, the sooner they're out, the better.

They had probably 2-3 starters playing in this, and that's 2-3 too many.

But I thought this game was supposed to showcase Liverpool's depth?
