Is anyone else getting a loud HUMMMMMMM from the match?

 

[GorillaJu]

Not a fan of the amount of crosses were putting in. We should be playing through the middle more. There's space there to play.

Yeah I thought it was something outside :lol

 

[Hindle]

Henderson is a hell of a player.

New fullbacks need to get use to how we play instead of crossing in the final part of the pitch. See Enrique midweek.

 

[cashman]

God dammit Markovic.

Yep I thought it was an airplane from the base nearby.

 

[Empty]

with mirallas off everton don't have enough pace on the break

 

[Hixx]

KOLO

 

[Shanks D Zoro]

King Kolo is alive

 

[Tc91]

Lukaku against Kolo, oh boy.

 

[cartoon_soldier]

KOLO PLEASE YES BRING HIM ON

 

[Gareth Bale]

He got it caved in by Heskey. Honest. Fucking smashed to bits.

I think I remember that.

 

[Yurt]

Mario :/

Is Sterling playing too wide this time?

 

[Labadal]

Markovic and Sterling have been poor.

 

[Arnie]

That cut to Kolo was genuinely laugh out loud funny.

I love him so much. Can he be our kit man?

 

[Yurt]

Ian Rush has the most glorious face is in football

A face begging for a statue

 

[cartoon_soldier]

EVERTON THEIR MAIN CB IS OFF

STOP HOOFING THE BALL

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

So I'm sure I'm pointing out the obvious here but I've not seen anyone really mention it - Balotelli has almost certainly regressed since he was at City. Sure he was lazy and unfocussed there but he'd nearly always inject skill and pace.

At Liverpool he seems slower, first and foremost, and less likely to try something a bit different.

Would agree.

 

[LTWheels]

I would like to see Sterling and Markovic swap. See if that improves his form.

People are just happy that he hasn't lost his cool yet

pls understand

 

[Yen]

I just feel ennui watching Liverpool this season.

Blame Max

 

[Wilbur]

Balotelli really feels like young Rooney to me. Needs the fire in his belly to do something special.

 

[Blablurn]

Neuer - Alonso, Lewandowski, Robben, Rafinha, Boateng, Bernat, Götze, Lahm (K), Müller, Alaba

 

[dark_prinny]

Balotelli is such a selfish player. Also, overrated.

By?

 

[Yurt]

Nothing wrong with Mario, the frustrated-super-sub-with-a-point-to-prove role just suits him more

 

[dark_prinny]

By?

In general.

 

[Elchele]

Neuer - Alonso, Lewandowski, Robben, Rafinha, Boateng, Bernat, Götze, Lahm (K), Müller, Alaba

we are playing with 1 CB today

fuck pep

 

[FootballFan]

Neuer - Alonso, Lewandowski, Robben, Rafinha, Boateng, Bernat, Götze, Lahm (K), Müller, Alaba

How does this line up even work.

Pep is amazing lol.

 

[Milchmonster]

Looks like Hummels will play today, no lineups yet but the captain's armband is at a field player's spot in the changing room. So either Hummels starts or Reus is making a freak comeback :lol

Neuer - Alonso, Lewandowski, Robben, Rafinha, Boateng, Bernat, Götze, Lahm (K), Müller, Alaba

Spending 30m on a CB and not even playing him :looool

Buying that CB in a fantasy manager :loooool ;(

 

[Blablurn]

haha pep is unbelievable. So innovative. Looks like a 2-1-3-3-1 if you can call it that.

:lol

 

[Wilbur]

fuck pep

4 full backs lol

 

[GorillaJu]

Not a very exciting half. Sturridge brings that something special, really wish he was available today.

Defensively we've been pretty good.

Balotelli needs to move better in the box.

Jesus, 16 attempts. This is like 11/12 under Kenny

 

[D4Danger]

He playing a false 2,3,4,5,9

Your win today will kickstart your season I just KNOW it

Hopefully with a Ciro brace

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Think Marokovic should be doing his adapting from the bench tbh, not involved nearly enough

Least it's our final ball and move which is lacking today, rather than every attack grinding to a halt 40 yards from goal, which is a huge improvement

Shame we couldn't keep the intensity of that first 10 minutes going, but I guess that'll be our game management given the fact that we're in 4 competitions, we'll burn out early and often if we try playing like that continuously

 

[FootballFan]

Fifa could add 100 formations to fifa and it wouldn't have the amazing ones pep creates.

:lol

Who are you quoting,

 

[Yurt]

He playing a false 2,3,4,5,9

And a false manager

 

[Hindle]

Pretty cool advert for Fifa 15

 

[Walshy]

Out of the new signings, Markovic has been more underwhelming than Balotelli to be honest.

 

[Wilbur]

Moreno has been the best, with Manquillo not far behind.

Balo, Markovic, Lallana and Lovren have all been underwhelming. Lambert and Can haven't had many chances to do anything yet I suppose.

 

[bone_and_sinew]

Pep is the greatest

 

[Arnie]

Agree with than Nathan.

Lallana has been really good today, though. That's what I want from him.

 

[LTWheels]

Yep. I would sub him for Suso personally.

What I miss the most is seeing Can marauding through the midfield, like when he came on against Spurs.

 

[Walshy]

Moreno has been the best, with Manquillo not far behind.

Balo, Markovic, Lallana and Lovren have all been underwhelming. Lambert and Can haven't had many chances to do anything yet I suppose.

Not sure I agree on the Lallana shout.

He was out for six weeks and missed all of pre-season and is slowly coming back into match fitness. Has been our best player along with Henderson today imo

Was good against Boro too

 

[90TilInfinity]

Pep is gonna start writing football kama-sutra books soon.

 

[OneTwoTee]

How long is Can out for?

 

[figadapaura]

:lol that Gareth Barry handball.
