Liverpool - v - Leeds United ***Matchday Thread***

[hopelesslyoptimistic]

Ayling Costa and Harrison have been great and Bamford been good too. Klich seems to have grown into the game.

Koch hasn’t been bad and others give it away too Liverpool press high up the pitch so not an easy game to make your debut with another inexperienced CB. Struijk looks to have real physical presence - he could become a very very good player for us.

I refer you to the "he's a full international" and "you dont need to be Bielsified to defend" sh1te from certain posters

I dint say Kich was sh1te, just he cant possibly know what day it is when as you say it's his 1st 45 minutes in the PL and never played alongside his team mates, any fool can see that. Shouldnt be there, no matter how hard that makes selection of a Cooper replacement.

Mb said he don't need to be Bielsified and full international ffs he played in one of the best leagues in the world.

[WTF11]

How who gave the pen away Cooper Berardi is not playing? just watching goals now wtf were they doing for that corner no one was marking anyone. We score 2 beautiful goals and gave away rubbish. Somehow I knew are defence was going to be our Achilles heel and was screaming we need defenders. The penalty was technically there but it came from he's knee to the hands' ref should have been lenient so early in the game. Even Liverpool players looked stunned it was given.

Not so much gave away, more conceded, but Koch was unlucky.

Need the CB covered , Strujk is cover for Kalvin not a CB , need the kid from D Zagreb in asap or Cooper back
Come on Leeds
MOT

Alf, we have already got something out of this, and I'm sure the players already know it. Liverpool know they have had a game to play, and I couldnt be happier to be proved wrong!

Yes but we need to hold on now and not drop our heads we may be able to snatch a goal.

Means nothing. Bielsa can make mistakes and has admitted as much. He needs time to understand his teammates AND what Bielsa wants, hes had none and its not surprising he isnt "up to speed", but we cant afford a passenger of any sort at this level.

[Fisher]

What, embarrassed because you were the one who was of the opinion that "he doesnt need to be Bielsified"?

Not sh1te, we all know it's TRUE. We cant defend against set pieces, Koch isnt "up to speed", and I was wrong to suggest we cant survive (long as we do the same second half!), shame u cant be a bit less blinkered, but that's you I guess

Yep definitely some negatives there to work on, think we all know that.

You delight in pointing them out though.

Err, no I dont "delight in pointing them out", so please dont ascribe motives to me that dont exist.

I point them out and others also do the same, it's called debate.

[ozleeds]

Liverpool look exhausted we are right in this

2 subs on.
Bielsa going for it
