Liverpool v Leeds United Match Thread

[STLWhite]

Not an entertaining half. Suspect Farke will be happy.

[Clitheroe White]

We are set up for 0 0 here. It’s a risk if we can keep this going.

We’re not getting any support to the front 2 (plus they’re not holding it up). Okafor for gruev, push him up and drop aaronson back to mid field?

[SG90]

Nmecha is a non factor in this match.

And Gruev

[White Riot]

When we sit back so deep we need someone with pace as a threat and don't have it.

[SG90]

Certainly silenced the crowd so far

Yup, the longer it goes on it'll get edgy. Need our fans to make some noise.

[Cjay]

We set up to draw and it's worked so far.

Look most vulnerable when we pish about with it but the front 2 aren't offering much tbf either.

Some decent tackles from Justin.

I’m thinking Tanaka on instead. Gives the right balance between defense and offense.

[CHAPELALLMAN]

Gnonto please.

[Irish Ian]

Halfway to a job done.

[Madron]

About as well as possibly expected,

[Pullhard]

It’s a nervous watch when we are sitting so deep.

The back 5 have done well and Liverpool have only had half chances.

[White Riot]

And Gruev

Big drop off from DCL to Nmecha and with 3 defensive midfielders there is no outlet other than Aaronson running about.

Why not play Harry Gray if we're gonna sit so deep?

[SG90]

With games like this, protecting the GD is always important as well. Look at Arsenal, we lost 5-0 and our GD is -7.

[White Riot]

Bornauw and Justin have done pretty well imo

[CHAPELALLMAN]

Given our habit of conceding in extra time, it's going to be dangerous to just hope on hanging on for a draw.

[Irish Ian]

It's funny how the players on the bench are always better options to those on the pitch.

Every time, even when we are in front.

[Cjay]

Liverpool don't look great tbf, move the ball very slowly and safely.

Look most dangerous when Van Dijk switches it or they speed it up, but it's rare.

[Pullhard]

Justin and Bornauw have both been solid

[SG90]

Why not play Harry Gray if we're gonna sit so deep?

I don't see why he's going to want to stick around if we're not even going to give him a chance.

[Orange Box]

And yet, if that were Aaronson this board would be howling wouldn't they?

You need to let that go, Paul. Haven’t you seen how supportive we are of young Brendan these days?
