GWT: EPL Matchday 28

[hatterson]

Stoke and City playing the ever forgotten Wednesday night game.

Very light PL weekend given how many of the sides are still in the FA cup.

Great result. Needed it to go exactly like that.

 

[Mark Stones Spleen]

Excellent result for my fellow Chelsea supporters.

 

[Halladay]

Might actually lose to Burnley at home, who have haven't won a away game all season.

What happened

 

[Alex Jones]

Yea this is totally going to be a Liverpool loss.

 

[Prntscrn]

Everyone is ****. Making that football look like a ****ing brick

 

[Prntscrn]

Coutinho since the injury is so sad to see

 

[Live in the Now]

Either Klopp has lost his mind or this is an inspired substitution.

100K A WEEK STRIKE

 

[Live in the Now]

Incredible how we always or at least almost always just bend over when a team tries a lower league tactic like long throws.

Wasn't expecting three points here.

 

[Prntscrn]

Incredible Liverpool actually pulled through

How come every longball into Liverpools Penalty area become dangerous? Every single one dropped to a Burnley player today

 

[Halladay]

Breathe.

Somehow I was dissapointed with Woodburn. I know he is young and learning but he looked scared to inniate any contact.
He will need to get his nose dirty at some point if he wants to succeed in the premier league.

Can was fundamentally bad on so many occasions today but that goal was niiiiiiiice

Just don't think he looks justified in the wage double that he's supposedly looking for

 

[Epictetus]

I would have blamed Liverpool for dropping points, so it's only fair to praise them for winning. So good on Liverpool for getting the win. That City game next week, tho.

Also, I got no issue with Klopp giving a chance to a hungry, talented youngster who has a future at this club.

The only way he's going to learn that is by getting the minutes, I think.

What was wrong with Woodburn? He made some really tidy moves, didn't lose the ball, had a nice defensive header closing out the game and if Mané's pass had been decent he'd of been 1 on 1 with the keeper (and probably scored again). He also had a really nice cross into the box. He didn't get to see much action but when he was on the ball he did really well and certainly better than Coutinho who was maybe the only player on the pitch worse than Can.

All in all it was a pretty bad performance from the team but getting the W was important and nice. Wijnaldum MotM for me. He has really grown into his role and gained a lot of confidence of late.

Oh Can. I'm really happy about the game winner. It was a nice trick for him to pull out of his hat but he was absolutely awful in pretty much every other aspect of the game. He finished with lower than a 70% pass completion as our deepest midfielder...against Burnley. That's just unacceptable, and his needless fouls nearly put us in trouble again.

 

[hatterson]

I didn't really see anything wrong with Woodburn.

He didn't come on and look like the next superstar or anything, but I didn't notice anything he did poorly. Had a couple good plays.

 

[Jeffrey]

What did Woodburn did "wrong"?
He did not jump for any balls up his way. Leaving the Burnley players no problem to collect the ball and push forward again. I also have not seen him go for one tackle. He was basically waiting for the ball to be send his way. No other players did that even the other small players like Coutinho and Mane who were going hard to collect the ball and track back the defender. I understand he is only 18 years old but to be fair he will definately need to improve that part of his game to become a premier league top player.

 

[Live in the Now]

Woodburn's barely 17 actually. I don't think he did anything wrong, but I do see in this game that we have a problem with Milner and Clyne as fullbacks. They're too short to defend set pieces. Really like them both are players but it's an obvious flaw in their game.

 

[Halladay]

Milner shouldnt be the starting left back next year. He has done well but that is a position they must address.

 

[Live in the Now]

Any team can easily attack Liverpool by lobbing ball up deep to the back post to attack our furthest defender, then knock it down because we're horrendous clearing the second ball. It's so obvious that I can't believe we have this many points. Not may good defending fullbacks available though.
