Goalllllllll

machiavellianme · 10-02-2022 9:19pm

Diogoal!

BorneTobyWilde · 10-02-2022 9:19pm

JOAT!

Jammiest Of All Time

ShamoBuc · 10-02-2022 9:20pm

100 up for Diogo!!!

Agent Coulson · 10-02-2022 9:20pm

Jota chasing down Salah for the golden boot.

Fromvert · 10-02-2022 9:20pm

What a poacher Jota is. So many of his goals are within a few yards of the goal.

Disjointed alright - those changes up front definitely causing a few problems. Diaz and Robbo not quite on the same page, keep trying to be in the same positions, while Jota isn't getting into the game at all yet.

<Edit> but of course he scores when the ball drops to him!!

martingriff · 10-02-2022 9:20pm

We sure Jota will not catch up with Salah

Infoseeker1975 · 10-02-2022 9:21pm

There is a bit of Rushie in Jota, great poachers goal.

ShamoBuc · 10-02-2022 9:21pm

Jones needs to move the ball quicker, getting caught out too often.

ArtyM · 10-02-2022 9:22pm

Right place at the right time by the right player who scores a right cracker!

martyos121 · 10-02-2022 9:26pm

Thiago is such a showman, not many players even look at that volley.

martyos121 · 10-02-2022 9:27pm

Think that’s the cleanest I’ve seen Bobby strike a ball in about four years. 😂

eigrod · 10-02-2022 9:27pm

We really do play beautiful football. A joy to watch.

ArtyM · 10-02-2022 9:29pm

Listening to Glen Hoddle commentating on a live game is like listening to an anesthetised accountant reading a Thesaurus.

facehugger99 · 10-02-2022 9:34pm

Good half all round.

Diaz does not look out of place in this team at all.

Fab has been fab and Matip has been excellent too.

Jones has been blessed that a few of his mistakes have come to nothing. He is being a bit too casual at times.

yourdeadwright · 10-02-2022 9:34pm

Bobby offnfor Mo

Jones off for Naby or Elliot

On the passing mistakes, I'd say Fabinho even more-so - been absolutely excellent defensively, but he's given the ball away very cheaply and put us in some very dangerous positions. He's settled a bit as its gone on though.

martyos121 · 10-02-2022 9:36pm

Diaz is brilliant at getting involved so much in attack, especially for a player only making his league debut.

Very early days, but all the signs are pointing towards another quality signing.

All in on those changes, get the 2nd & we cruise home though unlike us to avoid a nervy finish:)

SuperTortoise · 10-02-2022 9:38pm

Jones has been good on the ball, but his habit of hanging on to the ball for too long and especially in our own half and then losing possession will cause us to concede a goal.

Squad looks really strong tonight, Salah, Mane, Elliott, not even starting.

League ain't over yet!

Played well first half, need that second goal though.

Fitz* · 10-02-2022 9:40pm

Nice to get the goal before HT and not allow Leicester to dig in and have a draw to play for and defend to. Their mindset has to change now.

I was getting a bit worried before the goal. The team did look disjointed. Both Jota & Thiago were switched to the right hand side away from their usual left hand side and didn't look very comfortable. But then since around 20 mins in, both have grown into the game more, albeit in more central areas. I wonder is it worth switching Thiago back to the left and trying Jones on the right for 15 mins at least before the birthday boy comes on?

Some very nice interplay around the box involving Bobby.

10-02-2022 9:40pm

Jota, right place, right time yet again. 16 goals for the season.

yourdeadwright · 10-02-2022 9:47pm

Jones is so frustrating he takes to many touches and slows the game down,

There loads of talent there, U just want him tonhave more go in him, like more urgency on the ball

yourdeadwright · 10-02-2022 9:49pm

Diaz has been good but trying to be a litte nice to his team mates, a couple of times he shkumd have went at his man, Bit like Naby done for long periods when he first came more concerned with loaing the ball than playing his natural game

Fair play to Jota, he came in and said this is me i go for goal and boy has it worked

citytillidie · 10-02-2022 9:52pm

Fall down and scream and get a free kick

martyos121 · 10-02-2022 9:56pm

Is it weird that I’m more looking forward to Elliott coming on than Mo Salah?

eigrod · 10-02-2022 10:00pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118612890#Comment_118612890

3 times now. Seems to be a tactic.

~Rebel~ · 10-02-2022 10:00pm

The commentators keep going on about Salah as if he's trying to force Klopp into something, when in reality it was probably decided before the game that Mo would come on for 30...

robwen · 10-02-2022 10:03pm

Some men to be bringing on

ShamoBuc · 10-02-2022 10:03pm

Great to see the 2 subs on nice and early.

martyos121 · 10-02-2022 10:05pm

Certainly wouldn’t want to be the Leicester City left back for the next 30 minutes with the mood Salah looks to be in.

BorneTobyWilde · 10-02-2022 10:05pm

Salah with 80 shots this season, 83 if you count his Covid shots

SlickRic · 10-02-2022 10:05pm

The ref is falling for everything they pull.

citytillidie · 10-02-2022 10:08pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118612951#Comment_118612951

It is Manchester's Chris Kavanagh

SlickRic · 10-02-2022 10:08pm

We should try some of this diving. It's insane.

Charlie19 · 10-02-2022 10:10pm

I don't want to jinx anything but we do look extremely strong in every position at the moment.

Still only 1nill though.

eigrod · 10-02-2022 10:10pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118612962#Comment_118612962

It’s mad - we have a Manchester ref every second game.

citytillidie · 10-02-2022 10:13pm

Leicester it seems free to handle the ball when they want

ShamoBuc · 10-02-2022 10:13pm

A second with 20 to go would be nice to see. Leicester will surely get one good chance.

martyos121 · 10-02-2022 10:14pm

Another utterly incompetent ref….oh hold on it’s just Chris Kavanagh, nothing newsworthy going on here.

martyos121 · 10-02-2022 10:18pm

Oh f**k.

Ah he’s okay. Phew.

citytillidie · 10-02-2022 10:18pm

How was that not a pen?

TitianGerm · 10-02-2022 10:19pm

Leicester won't even put the ball out

BorneTobyWilde · 10-02-2022 10:19pm

Wiped out, show me the rule it says you can wipe someone out who doesn't any longer have the ball. What logic is that.

Fromvert · 10-02-2022 10:19pm

In what other situation can you release the ball and have a player come through you and get nothing?

~Rebel~ · 10-02-2022 10:21pm

I've never understood why contact after a pass is a nailed on foul, while contact after a shot is apparently fine?

BorneTobyWilde · 10-02-2022 10:21pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118613045#Comment_118613045

And Sterling got a pen last night with ZERO contact AND ball going out of play, and that chop down on Salah gets nothing.

Charlie19 · 10-02-2022 10:22pm

Challenge was so late that it would be classed as wreckless.. No?

TitianGerm · 10-02-2022 10:22pm

F**k me that was some effort from Salah. Decent follow up from Diaz as well.
