Pre Match - Fulham (H) - EFL Semi - Weds 20:00

[Farkmaster]

I’m usually pretty positive about Fulham but they’ve turned up tonight wasting time and throwing themselves on the floor screaming and trying to get our players sent off.

Fuck them and that penguin haired cunt Pereira.

Get Nunez on and go at them. 3-1

They want to win against a better team and this would be a great start.

We have attempted to get away with this competition a bit, and we've got some injuries, and we are now well handicapped. They aren't bad and they're a challenge for this team.

Our B team isn't that great. Our front three don't really make sense. We could maybe carry them if everything clicked, but it didn't. It should be 0-0 and a chance to change things around but it's harder now.

 

[Modo]

We always improve when Klopp gets a grip of them. But that was poor.

Gravy and Elliott in particular.

Need to see more from MacAllister. In general, not just tonight.

I'm OK with Macca, he's not getting much help from Gravenberch.
Jones needs to stop trying to dribble himself out of trouble inside our own half.
Elliott needs to sit down, looks more like a u21 player than Bradley, who has been good. He'd be better with a better right winger player in front of him.
Our left wing is OK, Diaz, Gomez and Jones are linking up well together.
It's our right wing that currently carries zero threat.
Jota is totally isolated upfront, being fed bread crumbs.

 

[tomasjj]

leno, time wasting prick

 

[Buddha]

Diaz right
Jota middle
Nunez left

Then let them swap at will

 

[Modo]

We need a fucking buffer of goals, let alone 1

We'll have a few players back from injury in the away game, I'm more confident about that one.

 

[Red Bird]

We did have a bright start but didn’t convert that into goals— now where have I heard that take before?

 

[Fabio]

Nunez on, Diaz to the right please, Elliott drops to midfield, gravy drops to the bench

 

[Buddha]

Gakpo for Grav
Nunez for Elliott

 

[Fabio]

We'll have a few players back from injury in the away game, I'm more confident about that one.

I'd still rather not go down there needing a win, as there's no doubt we'll pick up other injuries when others return.

 

[Fabio]

Gakpo for Grav
Nunez for Elliott

Hate it. Gakpo is fucking awful in mid

 

[Modo]

Yeah that's the trend, I just hope we don't

 

[Donavan Ried]

Thinking before the game that we look soft in the middle...
Gravenberch just does not do it for me, and this game gives further proof to that.
Nedd to bring on Nunez and go Nunez, Jota and diaz on the right up front..
And hook Gravenberch and drop Elliot deeper
Fuck me the commentary team are virtually quoting me word for word
Pls no Gakpo for Gravenberch

 

[mark1975]

Dont really rate Gravenberch at the minute, too lightweight for a Klopp midfielder, hes neither one thing or another and gets brushed off the ball too easy.

 

[Raz]

Gravenberch, too much standing and walking. Not enough running arou d

He's shit.

 

[Frogfish]

Oh come on. Fulham have NOT been good, they've made fuck all of the chances they've had - bar that one - and have coughed up possession too easily (we have 70% possession). In defence Tosin is a disaster on two legs and we should have taken advantage of his errors. We are only behind because we messed around with players out of position and didn't start either Nunez or Gakpo.

He's not weak, he just doesn't like to defend and he's a fanny (thanks @Dee) as well.

 

[LarryHagman]

Jones and Diaz is where it's going to come from. Of those on the pitch at the moment anyway. But yeah, some subs look fairly inevitable.

 

[Hansern]

He’s young and played out of position. Give him time.

We've made it easy for them

 

[jan]

Whole half was pure shit but Virgil was embarrassing for the goal

 

[LarryHagman]

Jota chasing shadows. Looks willing though.

 

[Frogfish]

Yeah he's much better on the left I've no idea why he's over on the right with Elliott in attack. Jones should have been right and Gravy left.

 

[Donavan Ried]

Hate it. Gakpo is fucking awful in mid

And too greed up front

 

[Modo]

Jota chasing shadows. Looks willing though.

It's not good, he'll get tired and probably subbed if it continues like this

 

[peterhague]

The lack of pace and aggression is total. Not starting Nunez a huge error. Why on earth Elliott starts in the front 3 is beyond me, he is shite there. We need to be far more urgent too, far too slow moving out form the back and a complete lack of risk taking in attack, just playing it safe.

I don't know why anyone thinks he's next in line there after Salah. Cos he's left footed? Cos he lacks everything else you want there. Literally any of our forwards, plus Szob, Curtis, Trent and Gravenberch would be better suited.

 

[Fabio]

Gravenberch cannot control a football

I said it last match thread. His legs remind me of traores

That's just an odd take. He's got lots of technique.

 

[Donavan Ried]

Why the fuck does Gomez keep drifting into the middle of the park..?

 

[Modo]

Fucks sake Gravy, did well before the shot

 

[dee]

Good run (for once) Pooh dfinish
