Liverpool vs West Ham Match Thread 29th Aug

[Roboklopp]

You can't say that, several posters mentioned their concern after the first two games.

And were decried for doing so whilst we were winning. Can have it both ways.

Thing that annoys me is that it's not the lunatic fringe that have been expressing reservations, it's posters that have been here years & are intelligent & rational, yet even then they get harassed.

[Yozza]

You are best not saying anything. I agree there have been worrying signs all season but if you point them out you end up being accused of wanting us to lose, being a Manc etc.

[Buzzo]

What is so worrying is that it does genuinely seem that we have had no actual game plan at all and after they got the first goal we have looked lost. Reminiscent of last seasons tactics.

How we bounce back from this will determine everything. Rodgers future and our season. Last season we were easily worked out and often beaten. How will we be this season?

[Exiled_red]

Defensively we haven't been able to get the ball away, alot of our clearing headers have had no distance on them

[Exiled_red]

Has their keeper had a save to make yet?

[G]

Poor defensively today that's underpinned everything about today for me. 2 very poor goals given away and we've just not had enough about us to create enough to get back into this properly.

Chasing games is never good and there's clearly some work to be done to try and ensure this doesn't happen again

Would you be confident what's needed to be done at the back will be under Rodgers?

[FatelessOne]

Yes Lovren had a shot on target this half. Scary!

[inijjer]

Come on lets get a goal and make the last 10 interesting

[Buzzo]

Chelsea drawing at home!

[McDermotX]

Right side of the defence

Yeah with United game being next up and us missing Coutinho... We are under pressure.

[RichC]

Would you be confident what's needed to be done at the back will be under Rodgers?

Not confident no, not based on the previous couple of seasons but he's what we've got at the moment.

Irritatingly it's stupid errors again that have cost us two goals, not brilliance from the opposition but poor positional play and well I'm not even sure what to call what Lovren was up to.

You just can't give teams a two goal lead from stupid mistakes and whilst it's individuals that are making them the buck does stop with the guy in charge.

[danperkins]

Dejan really has had a blinder

[Robbie-9-Fowler]

1 shot on target, no excuses for this really.

[BigChief]

You don't play a holding midfielder at home in a must win game.

Defensive mistakes aside tactics, if any, were flawed before the game started. Rodgers needs to save his job quick time.
