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

[davek]

Fulham controlled that game.

The Kopites should be very alarmed on that evidence.

They smackheads should do their cycle down season this one and get it out the way.

 

[ChesterBlue]

Eh come on we’ve gotta be fair here, according to Klopp the pitch was dry

 

[TheFinnFan]

Marco just destroyed their season. Now every half decent team in the league know how to snatch points from them.

 

[davek]

That Teutonic tits defenders were bullied by Mitrovic and he's going on about dry pitches.

Never mind their porous midfield, that defence will kill them this season. It's 'kin dire.

 

[sdk]

With a porous midfield you'd think they'd appreciate dry conditions.

Theyve been found out

Theyve been found out

If City win tomorrow I'm declaring this the 32nd season in the last 33 that they've failed to win the league.

How on earth are they considered a massive club when they can only win their own national title once in 33 years? Imagine Milan winning one title in 33 years, or Barcelona one La Liga in 33 years.

Ive always said that their achilles heel is opponents running right at them applying concentrated pressure. They capitulate especially their "world class" full backs...golden balls VD and even to Alisson in goal who clears into the stands regularly with panic when ran at. I know its simple but a blueprint in 'how to' maybe nevertheless.

 

[davek]

Let's have it right: they're rancid. They got out of jail with a point blank effort from Nunez...who'll be well and truly sussed out in a few weeks time, and then they'll need to rely on Salah scoring 40 goals to even keep on City's coat tails.

Naturally I hope you are right, but I think it may be a bit early to write them off if City win tomorrow!

I always see 7 points as being a significant lead. Once a team gets more than two full wins ahead, it more-often-than-not is unassailable.

They were poor today. I reckon it's a matter of time before they bin Firmino off for Nunez. But I see midfield as being their true achilles heel. A three of Thiago-Fabinho-Henderson is the real reason they didn't win the league last season, especially when you consider the opposition has Rodri-Bernardo-De Bruyne and Gundogan as first change.

Fulham didn't play tika - taka at the back for their lunatic closing down tactics to work, you need to win the long ball and have players around your striker to win the second ball.

BBC headline: 'Nunez inspires Liverpool comeback at Fulham', accompanied by a photo of him fist-pumping

And there was me thinking newly promoted Fulham might be the story here

It starts...

 

[davek]

Nunez: doesn't score IMO. That was an OG. His flick wasn't going to trouble the GK until the Fulham defender got a touch.

And the *assist* = big clumsy lad who cant control the ball, let's it bounce off his ankles and it could have gone anywhere.


There is virtually nothing but a stolen point that lot come out of their game with.

I'm not talking anything technical just about play just inside their half and simply receiving the ball and attacking them directly with speed and purpose. They are vulnerable to this....Fulham today being the latest example.
