Why not a red for Randall? Deliberate hand to face. Ref obv saw it as he gave him a yellow.

Because it's a pressing game, press the throat, nose, eyes, whatever

 

[Professor Toffee]

Worst corner ever ha ha ha

Watching Randall here reminds me when my school had a bit of an injury crisis and I played for the year above. The opposition targeted me straight away and I came off after about 25mins.

Not as easy as it looks is this lobbing on a youngster from the U21s...

Takes a bit of skill to do.

I think it's a shame when any youngster has a nightmarish start, good decision not to send him off.

 

[Professor Toffee]

Wow, I didn't know Laurie Mc Menamy was still alive, good on him

 

[Professor Toffee]

Lucas looks lost, he needs a 2nd DM , a Lucas aid if you will

Hahaha, "well done for being alive mate".


Anyway, this gegenpressing thing won't work with a set of players with 0 creativity or a decent engine on them. In fact, Southampton are doing pretty much the same thing twice as effectively, just because they have yarddogs with technique, rather than just yarddogs. I can see it working out for Klopp, but he'd have to spend a lot on good players - in Dortmund he had a lot of exceptionally gifted players and a few very good strikers to go with that style - in Liverpool he has literally 0 of those things, with the exception of Coutinho who fits in quite well, which is very obvious. Benteke won't be Lewandowski, Lallana won't be like Reus and so on. I can see him actually going for Reus in Jan/summer anyway...
