Rick Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Poor from Ox on the goal, he left Dawson alone for him to tap that in. Annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burning Gold Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Slight mistake from Phillips as well? Possibly harsh, but the way he put his head down to head it left him unable to react to the flick off Robertson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Stan Posted January 31, 2021 Author Administrator Share Posted January 31, 2021 Next Sunday's game just got bigger. Liverpool back in form and Man City in hot form anyway. Liverpool winning that blows the title race wide open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firmino came on for Shaqiri though. Probably happens whether it's Origi or Chamberlain on the pitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UNORTHODOX Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 That second goal is a thing of beauty, Salah at his best, sometimes his first touch lets him down but that was perfect the pass then the touch and finish. 11 minutes ago, LFCMike said: Firmino came on for Shaqiri though. Probably happens whether it's Origi or Chamberlain on the pitch I actually missed the sub so wasn’t sure who Firmino replaced. But you’re right there i was a bit harsh on origi.

Lucas Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 All three Liverpool goals were top quality. But that second goal, Trent's pass, Shaqiri's pass and the touch and finish from Salah, in those fucking wet conditions with a keeper charging out, is just...fuck it, I'm gonna say it, it was sexual. It reminded me of Suarez's finish v Newcastle a few years back. Honestly, how he's dropped that stone dead mid run let alone finished it was just another level.

Feel like I've gone back 12 years to when Benitez was at Liverpool here Have you seen us defend corners Agree it relies on individuals doing their jobs but when you don't have the right players doing that, it fails miserably. We have some small players ending up marking taller players. I think it's quite easy to attack against. Man marking can be more targeted. Against zonal marking you could use flexible attacking moves yet the defence stays in the same places because of the zonal set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure it's him who plays the one-two with Firmino. I take what I said back about Ox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It probably has to be more well drilled but it's no worse than man marking. Neither are without fault. I hated this debate 10 years ago and it still winds me up now.
