Napoli v Liverpool Match Thread - CHAMPIONS LEAGUE

[KopRed]

Why did Allisson play the shite pass to VVD that led to that chance ?

He had enough time to boot it far upfield to be fair.

 

[Rafiagra]

This is hard work and these aren't very good either.

To be fair, they're closing our front 3 down really well. Missing any real support from midfield. Hopefully Keita isn't serious.

 

[FoxForceFive]

I think i'd go with Sturridge for Milner. Drop Firmino deeper

I never think Firmino does well further back, but tbh he's done very little this evening anyway.

 

[keniget]

That was criminal by TAA.

What the fuck is going on... nobody can pass a ball.

 

[KopRed]

Salah has been totally shit.

 

[Flipo]

This is worryingly shit.

Lots of effort, zero quality. Klopp needs to change something.

Now changing is the urgent need,

 

[Rosco]

That last throw to TAA - the Napoli player immediately started guarding the byline so we couldn't get the ball down the wing.

 

[Mystic]

Christ this game is boring.

 

[hmmmmm1]

Greedy from salah. Players were on. Nice passing for a change

 

[LeTallecWiz]

it's rather frustrating how 'meh' we are today - it's either the weather, or we want the 0-0, or we are thinking about twatting City.

 

[FoxForceFive]

Salah has been totally shit.

TBF, only Mane & Allison have any credit in my book tonight. Everyone else has been poor.

 

[Flipo]

Salah has been totally shit.

Cannot show his real ability.

 

[FoxForceFive]

Spurs 3-2 now. Lamella.

 

[hmmmmm1]

Taa with another poor pass. Can’t gift them possession so easy

 

[Halmeister]

This is proper poo

And I'm beginning to worry about Salah

 

[Flipo]

Only Alisson is fantastic tonight.

 

[Rosco]

I never think Firmino does well further back, but tbh he's done very little this evening anyway.

Maybe not, but the way the wings are being defended we're not going to get much joy.
Firmino could in theory provide the impetus we need in the middle

 

[Jack D Rips]

Cant find a stream that works. Is the pitch really bad?

 

[hmmmmm1]

Gomez on the other hand, looks slick with the ball at his feet

 

[KopRed]

TBF, only Mane & Allison have any credit in my book tonight. Everyone else has been poor.

Gomez and VVD have been pretty solid to be fair. They had very little protection from the midfield today.

 

[Rosco]

Cant find a stream that works. Is the pitch really bad?

by modern standards , yeah

 

[Rafiagra]

Salah is just having one of those spells, and this game isn't the one to break him out of it. I'd be minded to get Fabinho on and take Mane off to keep for Sunday.

 

[FoxForceFive]

Klopp will wait to make his changes until he sees how their doubke substitution effects their shape.

I expect a double sub of our own shortly afterwards.

 

[6TimesaRed]

Happily take nil nil here.. Job done Europe at this stage.. We should win our next two games

We have been poor though tbf..

Playing like it a training session.. I can only guess we are saving ourselves for the big one in Sunday

 

[Halmeister]

Mertens is gonna cause us problems

 

[hmmmmm1]

Salah miles wide. Last season that was top corner

 

[FoxForceFive]

Decent attempt by Salah, nowhere near his best, but decent attempt nonetheless.

 

[Rosco]

Mertens coming on

 

[Modo]

There's gonna be some late goals in this. Napoli have spent a lot energy pressing us. Playing in a higher tempo than they're used to.

 

[FoxForceFive]

Salah is just having one of those spells, and this game isn't the one to break him out of it. I'd be minded to get Fabinho on and take Mane off to keep for Sunday.

Yep. It's a cliche but it'll just take one good performance & he'll start tearing it up again.
