Smal Posted Wednesday at 22:42 Share Posted Wednesday at 22:42 (edited) yeah, honestly it wasn’t terrible but it was frustrating that neither side ever really seemed to try very hard. Felt like the game could’ve been there for us really. Letting in a cheap goal first was a killer as well. I really don’t think liverpool are very good at all. Everyone else is just either shite or really inconsistent. There is an absolutely honking Forest team in 3rd ffs Edited Wednesday at 22:43 by Smal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justvthe way people are going huge on zero shots on target. Do you really think had Wilson limply had it saved folk would be saying "we had one shot on target"? I doubt it so much.

TheInfiniteOdyssey Posted Wednesday at 22:45 Share Posted Wednesday at 22:45 We did okay but equally we never threatened to make a real contest out of it. Feel like we’re stuck with these types of performances at these grounds. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rod Posted Wednesday at 22:46 Share Posted Wednesday at 22:46 2 minutes ago, Mattoon said: Take a step back and a deep breath, there's a few factors in play tonight, we were playing away from home at the top team in the country, who are 13 points clear of the nearest rival. We're down Joelinton, Botman and most pertinantly Isak. The mentality was lacking today, Hall the only exclusion, the kid is immeasurably good! I can imagine the loss of Isak affected the confidence of the team also, Schar, sadly, looks to be on his way out, Pope looks poor too and Bruno has been uncharacteristically off the boil for a worrying amount of time. It wasn't an enjoyable watch, I think we did OK considering the circumstances, the change in formation and personnel. One thing I do know is that is nothing like what we'll see in the final, this Liverpool side aren't one of the greats, they are not infallible, we can do these. Exactly this. We will see a totally different Newcastle in the final. Arne Slot even knows this. He has just mentioned our great performance against them at home and suggested we played a different formation tonight to get them thinking. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted Wednesday at 22:50 Share Posted Wednesday at 22:50 Felt like we were playing with 10 men all game basically. Putting some effort in, but at the end of the day, weren't anywhere near getting anything from it. While it's fine to not get anything from Liverpool and City away (even this City), it's very frustrating to do so again and again and again without barely even threatening them. I just wish we were able to put in performances against these cunts that we can do against Arsenal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Posted Wednesday at 22:51 Share Posted Wednesday at 22:51 (edited) Just watching the second again. When Tonali loses the ball, there’s 4 Liverpool players on the right wing with Burn tasked with marking all of them. Gordons bitching on about not being passed the ball and not even jogging back, Bruno Hall, Tonali jogging back and fuck knows why but Willock’s stood up front. It’s so, so poor and absolutely basic football to get back as fast as possible when you lose the ball. Edited Wednesday at 23:26 by Jordan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted Wednesday at 22:52 Share Posted Wednesday at 22:52 What's with the sloppy early concessions? That's about half a dozen games recently where we've conceded a soft goal in the opening exchanges. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elma Posted Wednesday at 22:52 Share Posted Wednesday at 22:52 On the plus side we've won the game of the three we really had to (just), and recent results have generally gone our way, so we're only two points outside of the Champions League places with a nicer (on paper) run of games ahead.

Smal Posted Wednesday at 22:52 Share Posted Wednesday at 22:52 (edited) we did get Murphy in behind them with a couple of really good positions for a cross tbf, should’ve done better one those. Again you feel like if Isak had been on the pitch it would’ve been different. Edited Wednesday at 22:53 by Smal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's about half a dozen games recently where we've conceded a soft goal in the opening exchanges. I think this is our biggest issue and speaks to why we're not a consistently good team yet. I guess some players are really stretching themselves to even operate against the top teams (Murphy, Wilson, probably even Willock, Schar and Burn) and maybe that leaks into a lack of conviction and confidence at times.

Conjo Posted Wednesday at 23:04 Share Posted Wednesday at 23:04 How many on here say they can accept and or expect a loss before a game, but no matter what, whenever we end up losing, find something to justify not accepting the loss anyway?

No denying that. Know what, they had another two or three very good chances, all off target, if instead they'd had 3 shots on target from 35yds that Pope just batted down are they better or worse chances for being on target. I know I'm going a bit OTT on this it just seems weird so much is made of the zero shots on target, if we'd cuts them to bits had 11 one on ones and missed the target with everyone would we still look at zero shots on target.

I think it's relevant because there were opportunities to have shots and have shots on target that weren't taken. If we'd been dominated it wouldn't be as relevant as it is here.

You know, I like xG as a stat, it's not perfect but gives a decent idea as to how a game went in a way that zero shots on target doesn't Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everybody understands that we can go to Anfield, play well and still end up losing. Yesterday we did not play well and there were some really poor performances and also poor decisions from the manager. I don't know why is that so hard to take for some.
