Liverpool : Ludogorec Match Thread - CL is back!

[Fredo]

I'd put on Suso for Lallana, but he needs minutes, so he's likely to play for 60/70 minutes. We're lethargic on the whole, too many players not up to match sharpness yet. Not sure Coutinho does it in this deeper role. He needs to be further up the pitch.

[danperkins]

He should be playing in Coutinho's position I feel. Coutinho has been extremely wasteful.

Completely agree

[Tribute]

Lallana's first touch and control is well off, needs game time. Don't know what's up with Coutinho he's had a shaky start to this season. Not convinced with Lovren/Sakho but hoping the more they play the better they'll get. Mignolet still poor decision making. Shape's not helping Balotelli either, he's all over the place. Hope 2nd half is better. Full backs are our shining light

[Muddled]

I think Lallana is suffering from being shunted out to the right with little match fitness.

As suggested, he'd be better more central where he doesn't have to put in as much a shift and ease himself back in to the pace of the game. Looks neat and tidy though, it's just not happening for him, but there has been glimpses.

[Maxiedge]

Think Loveren's done well. Weren't fouls for me. More 'clever' defending.

Lallana's also done ok. Seems only about 85% but he's been alright.

More worried about Coutinho. Seems really low on confidence.
And someone get Balotelli some new boots.

[Buzzo]

Sterling definitely needs to be more central.

[Roboklopp]

Robbie not mincing his words. Scholes boring me.

[McDermotX]

Yeah, haven't you noticed? He's the one who has given the ball away every time he's had it.

I thought that was one of the Ludicrous players starting a counter attack

[CJ]

So in summary everyone needs to be more central

[SK]

Yeah. Two out of two for him. Poor touch, slow paced, indecisive and terribly one footed.

He looks decidedly average.

give him some slack, he's coming back from injury.

personaly i'm more worried about coutinho. he's been really poor in both defensive duties as well as going forward. justt seems he's completelylost his mojo from preseason

[CJ]

Robbie not mincing his words. Scholes boring me.

I'm watching 100k house on bbc2

[ronanm]

When did fowler get his teeth done?

[McDermotX]

I know ive written Marcovich off already, but it's much too early to be doin the same with Lallana.

I prefer when we only have two definitions of players at this club.......class and ****/liability.

Makes it easier to keep track of things.

[danperkins]

IMO Balotelli needs to play with two up top.

[Muddled]

So in summary everyone needs to be more central

In the words of Scholes: No, yeah ... errm, yeah ... errrm they need to be more errmm central.
