GWT: PL Matchweek 21

[Fred McCarthy]

Keeper should have had his hands a bit higher before Aguero shot it.
Almost 30 seasons of pressure heaped on this Liverpool squad ...and it's showing

 

[koyvoo]

Nah goalie can't be blamed. Defenseman can however.
Btw, did you see that little portugese guy playing good offensive football

Bernardo has been dialed in since the opening minute. He’s playing with great intensity.

Come on, if Mane scores instead of the post, we're singing a different tune.

Don't think it has anything to do with pressure. Pressure is on both sides.

 

[Live in the Now]

Fabinho in soon please.

 

[koyvoo]

I think Shaqiri will be eventually called upon too.

 

[JeffreyLFC]

It's more about composure than pressure.

In this case City had the break and Liverpool not.

 

[maclean]

Stones is really a horrible defenseman under pressure.

I mean, you kind of have to give him SOME credit for saving two in a row off the line

Only one of these players were here for any of that as well. These guys also just made the CL Final.

Yes, composure. Midfielders are uncharacteristically giving the ball away instead of playing it backward or forward. We could use Fabinho, Keita, and Shaq at some point here. Difference between this Liverpool and the other teams is that they never had that amount of quality to choose from.

 

[Epictetus]

Stone nutmegged Salah with his stretched foot from the goal line...

 

[Fred McCarthy]

At this point Company should be a spectator. Red card in my books ...nasty.

He put himself into misery.
He managed to
1/ not play the offside trap on Mane
2/ being beaten in the run.
3/ instead of leaving the ball to his sprinting goalie, he panicked and shot as hard as he could straight into his teammate.

Yes he saved the goal afterwards (barely), but the whole play was horrible for him.

The other problem Liverpool has is that Lovren is not even close to as good as Gomez. He's good but Gomez is excellent. Look at Liverpool's defensive record. It was like having two van Dijk's. Fortunately Gomez will be back before Liverpool play any other top team.

 

[koyvoo]

Wtf with that clearance Alisson?

That's true, but given City's injury list...

 

[koyvoo]

Ok Sterling

 

[hatterson]

That's one of those where it's a clear foul outside the box, but ref almost never give it inside the box.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Dats a stonewall penalty

 

[Evilo]

City looking much better in this second half.

 

[Evilo]

Also, looking at the Aguero goal, Alexander Arnold really had the best seat on the pitch. Walked through Bernardo's play and never helped Wij.

 

[Prntscrn]

Trent is having himself a rough night

 

[JeffreyLFC]

Trent is having himself a rough night

He also does against City.

 

[Live in the Now]

No idea why Klopp hasn't made a change yet. Wijnaldum has a booking and has been tentative all half.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Shaq needs to come on for poool they need a change city taking control.

 

[Evilo]

Fabinho <3

 

[Live in the Now]

Fabinho coming on for Milner. Good change. Milner looked tired.

 

[Il Mediano]

Just tuned in.

fair score?
