Why didn't Keita travel?

Minor injury.

 

[Lastboyscout]

Trent looking as shakey as he was against Burnley...

 

[hmmmmm1]

Good defending from hendo

 

[doctor_mac]

Why didn't Keita travel?

This game was made for him!

 

[rurikbird]

Why didn't Keita travel?

Small injury

 

[Rosco]

Lewandivski

 

[Shadey]

Why didn't Keita travel?

Injured

 

[Mystic]

Not long til they're scoring at this rate.

 

[FoxForceFive]

They were adamant that was a pen.

Nah, replay shows it was a sublime touch to take it away from him.

 

[doctor_mac]

Crowd trying to win a peno. VAR dickheads!

 

[hmmmmm1]

Fab time

 

[Shadey]

Henderson going off.

 

[FoxForceFive]

Fabinho coming on for Hendo. Shame we're using our sub so early but may work out for the best perhaps. We shall see.

 

[Judge Jules]

Lewandivski

Tried to roll VVD just before and got nowhere fast. We'll see more of this from him tonight methinks.

 

[rurikbird]

Van Dijk lost his position to Lewandowski, then managed to stick a foot in, then Lewandowski dived quite blatantly.

 

[Judge Jules]

Henderson going off.

An explosive start then?

 

[FoxForceFive]

That change has spoiled the little rhythm we had. We're really struggling to keep the ball here.

 

[FoxForceFive]

Referee has started well, letting most 50/50's go which CL ref's often dont.

 

[Woland]

Pretty mad that we've been forced into a substitution after twelve minutes and every Liverpool fan on the planet is fucking delighted

 

[Rosco]

Not have as delighted as that linesman looked with his offside call

 

[Silver Sean]

We look poor. Keep the fucking ball for a bit at least.

 

[Shadey]

A very cagey affair.

 

[keniget]

We’re working really hard but mostly chasing shadows and struggling to get the ball.

Can’t afford to let this continue.

 

[rurikbird]

They are looking to find Ribery on every occasion. Trent needs to stay disciplined and not take himself out of the game trying to intercept like Joe Gomez did a few times before.

 

[Farkmaster]

We're just being stupid when starting to get the attack going.

Firmino with bad touches, Mane not releasing the ball, now Milner dawdling...

Not even remotely good enough so far. We seem to be all about stopping them attacking at the expense of our game, showing them way too much respect.

Hopefully that's part of the game plan & they do what they've struggled to do so far this season & switch that controlling defensive tempo into an attacking one mid match, we've looked incapable of doing that too many times & it's cost us.

 

[hmmmmm1]

Some poor punts up the field, the latest from Milner

 

[manwithnoname]

I don't enjoy many Liverpool games really, unless we're like two or three up, but I'm REALLY not enjoying this

 

[Mystic]

Both team cancelling each other out, and doing quite well to navigate each others press, quite a fascinating game so far.

On a positive note, we managed to disrupt Bayern's game enough that they are mostly passing in the areas where they can't hurt us. Stalemate so far.
