metal_guitarist Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Kinda surprised to see Will Keane on the bench Haven't got any other options upfront so not really a surprise. Looked good in the U21s since he's been back too, and the point of the recall was to give him a chance in the first team. Would love to have seen Januzaj gain some match fitness today. Not even on the bench! Not match fit, hasn't played 90 minutes since he left us and the winter break means he hasn't played at all for a month either.

Sid1984 Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 LVG has invented a completely new brand of football which has never be seen before. Words simply cannot describe how ugly it is. Maybe that is LVG's aim. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sid1984 Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 No shots on goal. Under LVG, we probably wouldn't even get a shot on goal even if we played against an under 10's disabled girls team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigcwwe Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 That oh so predictable first half from us once again, not scored in the opening 45 mins now for 10 games. We'd play the same way if we played a non league side. Diabolical. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
martplfc1 Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Just read you haven't scored in the first half of your last 10 home games! Even by Liverpool's standards that is so bad. Ah, Craig beat me to that stat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pangaea Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 2 holding midfielders, no-one breaking forward into the box. Situation normal If one of your attackers is Robben, I suppose playing like this works. With our team it doesn't. Says it all that the crowd went bonkers when Memphis put a shot wide, and then again when Darmian managed to hobble a shot on target. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
