ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC" part 3

Disgruntledgoat said:
In all the wailing and gnashing of teeth this week, I'd missed that Rihan Brewster will be wearing his European Cup medal to training at Swansea for the rest of the season.

I'm as shocked as anyone that he isn't tearing up the Premier League as every journo under the sun told us he would in the summer.

Better chance of Rihanna tearing up the PL.

Just got to hope it ends up like the Glazers. Piling on debt with high payments whilst taking out high dividends to lash on his baseball team.

I doubt they will unfortunately. I think the Big Stand is a loan to them but it was zero interest. Plus it's only 3 or 4 years off it being paid for.

I see they're getting all sanctimonious about the incident at Finch Farm this week. Of course, they've never confronted their beloved 'redmen' have they?? Well yes actually. Listening to talksport yesterday, that beaut Danny Murphy admitted whilst he was at Liverpool, their players got fronted by a big group of angry fans in an airport after a bad defeat in a European away game so they've got nothing to get all sanctimonious about.

CL holders, top of the league, yet whatever is happening at Everton continues to dominate their thoughts. Plus they're always on this thread screenshotting posts and run off crying at what gets posted in here. They're way beyond obsessed.

I saw one of my posts on Twitter a few days ago about me saying about injuring their players in the derby in March.

I found it funny and sad in equal measures.

From my perspective there's only one answer to how you play against them.

They close down and harass each player on the ball much more than peps Barca team, then when they get the ball back the players know exactly where to launch a first time ball to one of their rapid players, robinson and Arnold are both good players but the tactics make them look like world beaters. Quick crosses to the 6 yard box, they will be practicing that in training ever day, hence why they're so effective

The answer is to play like them, the Chelsea game under Dunc would have been a good example, don't give them a second on the ball.

I'm worried now that under Ancelotti, we will be like Spurs with Mourinho, the game has changed now and teams trying to play passing (boring) possession football will be punished. Rodgers with Leicester and Wilder with Sheffield have the right idea.

I still think a 4 2 4 formation against them would be most effective. Back 4 playing deep so no opportunity for the long balls for sane and salah to run onto. Front 4 stops their fullbacks pushing up too freely. This forces them to play in midfield which is the weakest part of their team. Win the ball back, then do the rs trick of releasing it quickly to the wings and if one of their full backs have pushed up, it leaves a 4 on 3.

That could work but the two in midfield would have to be super charged.

Midfield is their weak part but they are also the engine room

Can imagine the quizzical look of anyone with the likes of Schneiderlin and Siggurdson as your options for the midfield duo in that set up!

If those 2 midfielders were the from the likes of Kante, Ndidi or Gueye though...

Don't mention that Morgan! That "wonderkid" winner last weekend was entirely down to him. Falling over, having a little rest on the deck, whilst the kid finds himself in acres of space. Rubbish!

I suppose you haven't lived until you've had one of your posts on here screenshotted by that shower.

Laughable given where they are, that the main remit for plenty of their 'fans' is to lurk on here looking for things to get all offended at just to go and screenshot them and to re-post them elsewhere crying over them.

Looking across social media this season, loads of their 'fans' are more interested in discussing and laughing at the woes of us and Man Utd rather than enjoying where their side is. Sums them up really.
