Match Thread EPL Leeds (H) Thurs 1st January 17:30

[mom]

One way traffic and probably should be a goal up

 

[dee]

Bored, so I’ve turned the fireworks off for something to do

 

[tombrown]

Loving Frim today

 

[binomial]

Good to see we’re so much quicker and decisive with the ball when Mac isn’t playing.
Enthralling stuff.

 

[Hansern]

Playing okay and should be 1-0 up. A bit slow in the build up and Alisson has decided that this game is the one to forget how to pass a ball.

 

[Frogfish]

Eki should have scored - he dipped his head and didn't actually see the ball coming on to his head, that was poor.

Leeds 5-4-1, not easy to break them down but Frim is dangerous down that right, beating players and putting in some good crosses.

 

[FreshRed]

I would like to see Wirtz more central. Not sure he has as much freedom with Robbo behind him than Kerkez, although Robbo has been good.

 

[FreshRed]

Maybe Gakpo for Jones and Wirtz into the 10 with Szobo holding more with Gravy?

 

[KopRed]

Don't get Wirtz on the left? Commentators have been regurgitating game IQ? Come off it, I just don't see it. While he has been busy on the left, he's hardly threatened.

Slow and too many touches.

We have a chance to go 5 points clear in fourth place we need to step up second half .

Wirtz is getting doubled every time and the left side does restrict his space. It has worked well in prior games, but with 5 defenders and 4 midfielders, they can really trap in out wide.

That's because he's slow and can hardly beat a player. Frimpong gets the same treatment down his side, just go direct and we can get some joy.

I don't exactly blame Wirtz, he is not that kind of winger anyway but it's just not effective.

 

[Shadey]

COME ON LIVERPOOL FC

 

[Farkmaster]

I don't think it's that ineffective, it's just Robbo doesn't have the legs to overlap incessantly anymore.

 

[darkstarexodus]

Fuck sake Wirtz. Promising position and stupid giveaway.

Agree. Not his strength. Might even give Rio a try on the left to stretch them. No room for Gakpo’s trademark cut in.

 

[FreshRed]

Trademark 2nd half so far.

 

[Farkmaster]

Come on. Keep up this pressure.

 

[binomial]

Stinky football

 

[darkstarexodus]

This has been rather dull and uninspiring.

 

[Halmeister]

There's flashes of good stuff, but it's by and large poor, slow and ponderous. And it has been for a year.

 

[Farkmaster]

I've had four bouts of diarrhea but not one solid poo. That's a horrible conversion rate and won't cut it at this level.

 

[binomial]

Bijol displaying to the ref what 10 yards is has been the most exciting part of this game.

 

[Modo]

Macca and Kerky coming on

 

[Shadey]

Boring boring Liverpool..

 

[Fabio]

This is boring

 

[Halmeister]

Frimpong has been great

 

[Fabio]

Macca and Kerky coming on

Honestly I'm ok with it

 

[Halmeister]

Not sure about any of those subs. At all.

 

[Farkmaster]

Frimpong doing a great job.
