Leicester City v Liverpool, SS1, 8pm

Osmosis Jones

Any time a Leicester player steps out from defence they win the ball, when ours do it they miss and give Leicester an attack.

Countinho really off the pace so far.... #poortouch

niallo27

I never thought I'd have to shout at Coutinho to shoot.

5starpool

Sigh.

Johner

Vardy!

mada999

ah ffs....gifted

kingshankly

Coutinho and mane have been awful
Still expect us to come good

SlickRic

Pathetic.

Liamalone

Vaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrdddddddyyyyyyy

Osmosis Jones

For fcuk sake their entire plan is to just kick it to Vardy because Lucas hasn't a clue where he is. Wijnaldum gives it away in an awful spot. Fcuk off.

Vicxas

Wijnaldum with a STUPID pass

ERG89

Leicester of last season nope the exact same Liverpool as every other season

happyoutscan

Deserved. We are ****e.

mada999

we'd no chance against that pace.... thought Mig should have been out quicker and kept going

GreNoLi

What a ball, what a finish, the stuff of champions.

BorneTobyWilde

Dunno why Matip was so keen to run away from Vardy and not towards him there.

No, that's how Vardy was last year.

chupacabra

LOL!

The Talking Bread

well well well....................... I've seen that move before...........

They could batter us here

~Rebel~

Well, conceded basically exactly how I expected (and predicted :-/ ). A long ball down, Lucas just not fast enough - shouldnt have been in that position imo - and an easy easy goal for Vardy.

Harry Palmr

Jasus I'm a minute behind...closes thread.

Osmosis Jones

We always have this problem, there's a scrap for the ball, we win in and for some reason are compelled to kick it central rather than out wide. Wijnaldum completely brainless for that goal.

a weak defence!

SlickRic

We think we have hours on the ball. Loads of fúcking pointless tippy happy nonsense.

martyos121

Worst part is I don't see how we'll get back into this game. Depressing stuff.

A Wij' misplaced pass omitted from your version of events.

We'll get back in the game by scoring a goal, like we almost just did.

You score a goal. This is Leicester who have an awful defence of late. You will get plenty of chances, trust me.

Vicxas

I thought with Mane back we were meant to be unstoppable.

Mentally weak.

Osmosis Jones

I've only Klopp to blame for persisting with Lucas in defence, he has been routinely awful with very little exception.

noodler

Klopp cannot wait til the 80th minute to sort this.

mada999

Liverpool off the pace and are struggling when a team presses us yet again..

Klavan must be fncking diabolical to not get a game at CB ahead of Lucas.

You don't think that goal was anything at all to do with good Leicester play?

Vicxas

Absolutely muck at the minute

On behalf of the Estonian people I sincerely apologize.

Sure, but it was also one straight pass, not the first time they've been in either. Lucas is awful, its not just based one one goal.

Doesn't matter a toss how they got the ball. They're always going to get the ball in a million different scenarios. It's football, that's simply what happens, you have to assume it will happen. The ball gets turned over. The point is WHEN they get the ball we're set up to be taken full advantage of by them. it's not rocket science. A slow slow CB marking a fast fast CF, with a clear one on one left open.

This is what I wrote, like, a week ago.

All Leicester have to trouble us is pace - but in Vardy, Musa, NDidi, Gray and even Mahrez they have plenty far faster than our other CB options. Would leave Lucas and Klavan in the dust.

It was a good finish but it was all about the mis placed pass and the lack of pace.

Vicxas

Lucas needs to come off. Vardy destroying him.

What do you mean 'one straight pass'.


Like saying it was 'one curled corner', one straight shot that went in the net, one chip over the keeper.

Does not mean that it was a hard ball to defend against.

noodler

35 mins gone and I cannot see a way back into this.

Actually, feeling that way since they scored.

kingshankly

I recall people saying Rodgers can't get a team to defend wait till klopp gets in he will sort it out
18 months later we are defending worse
Klopp needs two new centre backs badly

It wan't that good, to be honest. Long ball down the middle, split the CB pairing and get Vardy onto the end of it. It reminded me of our woeful defending at (too many) times this season. Still reckon Liverpool will win this though. Klopp will get in amongst them at HT, and they'll be transformed in the second half.

*edit* maybe not!

mosstin

I'm confused - are we this poor because we're still tired or because we're rusty having not played in so long?

5starpool

Game over.

marklazarcovic

Leaderless and gutless LFC,Vardy has Lucas on toast every time,peno will come,... Say no more. Game over.
