Who exactly was TAA crossing to? Origi worked hard to pass him the ball and was 3 feet away from him.

~Rebel~

Even during a bad game, I never fail to find a smile when a commentator is talking about Ben Mee - "Out by me"... "Great challenge by me"... "Strong in the air by me".

Harry Palmr

Burnley wasting time.

We cant say much. Liverpool have wasted the past 400 minutes.

It’s all me me me me me...

More like it

Come on, shot aside which was decent, it’s blatant TAA has no business in there, he lost it before and after. Looks so lazy. It’s now a massive massive issue.

SlickRic

This Liverpool team right now is an excellent subject for the role confidence has in elite sport.

Harry Palmr

I can't figure Mane out at all, static.

retalivity

I fcuking hate short corners

happyoutscan

Trent is ****ing awful.

Knex*

Has to be a confidence thing that Trent can't hit a man with his crosses anymore, but can still whip a cross field ball to precision.

Oddly enough that never occurred to Mee me, but now I’ve read that I’ll never be able to hear it any other way.

Agent Coulson

Williams would offer more than TAA at the moment.

He either scuffs along the floor or floats to the first man.

Even Robbo is putting terrible balls in now.

He's been pretty terrible for his standards since he came back from covid.

Trent too, although not sure if some of that is the injury he had still lingering.

SlickRic

How is that not a yellow?

razorblunt

How’s that not a yellow for Mee? Right through the back.

Osmosis Jones

Great tackle from Thiago given as a foul just before that too

Knex*

Earliest Klopp has made two subs without any injury, potentially ever?

BorneTobyWilde

Utopia Parkway

Trent can’t pick out a red shirt to save his life.

awec

What a save.

Knex*

Mane needs to be shooting there.

Tempo better since the subs.

BorneTobyWilde

WTF

How do you not score salah

Chardee MacDennis

very good save

SlickRic

And Pope having a fúcking worldie too.

citytillidie

Another keeper having a blinder

retalivity

I rem ox having one shot and that was all. Completely invisible.
Could easily have taken mane off as well

DrumSteve

Better

Chardee MacDennis

when is Jota back?

razorblunt

Unreal save by Pope. Brown hill booked? Course not.

Fromvert

Crossing the ball high constantly, keep it low, we're unlikely to win a header when the box is packed. Low and hard! High floated crosses are easy to head away, a low hard cross between ankle and knee high you don't want to touch it as a defender.

Ox can't play against teams that sit back, he's not good against packed defences, he needs the game to be more open so he has space to run into.

It's been painful the last month, the same tactics game after game and failing at it. Change the pattern of play ffs.

He's done this to us before i recall.

~Rebel~

Everyone should be taking a page out of Shaq's book - balls on the ground passed in between players.

That one didn't work, slightly heavy, but it's the right idea and exactly how we'll get through a defence that are so comfortable in the air.

Knex*

Last five mins is best Liverpool have looked in ages. Finally moving quicker.

Keep this up and they'll score.

Vicxas

Take 75 touches in front of goal

The Mig

The amount of easy catches Pope has had from crosses into the box

Utopia Parkway

Mane still should have done better there. Completely skied it.

Francie Barrett

We are knocking on the door pretty hard, I am sure the goal will come.

martyos121

Cringiest bit of commentary I’ve heard in quite a while there, and Tyler nowhere to be seen.

DrumSteve

To paraphrase Roy from the IT Crowd, "The problem with Liverpool is that they try to walk it into the box".

Fitz*

Salah looks up for it. Come on Mo. It's down to you only to do something tonight.

BorneTobyWilde

Mane needed to just touch the ball, not shoot, then it's a penalty. He got there, then the burnley player took him out, but because he shot it doesn't matter.

~Rebel~

So, what's the rule with something like that challenge on Mane?

if you tackle someone just after they've passed the ball in the middle of the pitch, it's a stonewall free. But it seems like when the same thing happens after someone shoots, it's nothing? Why is a shot different to a pass? The player still tackled late..

razorblunt

I still can’t believe Fabinho got booked for his kick, Brownhill doesn’t. Oh wait it’s Mike Dean of course it makes sense now.

I reckon we'll edge this, Mo and Bobby should be 100% on it after the first half on the bench.
