Norwich (H): The Match

[danperkins]

Better last 15. Back 3 outstanding although it is overkill. Clyne, Sturridge and Coutinho on the periphery of things. Milner was **** for first 30 mins but bit better last fifteen.

Very progressive at the back and seem to be bypassing the midfield. Lot of long and diagonal balls up top. There is something missing in the midfield, we arw so slow in there.

[Fosterbloke]

Get Ings on for Sturridge, Lucas for Gomez and Can into midfield.

No end product as yet. I'm sure we will shake them up in the second half

Just love watching Lucas playing in front of a back three

I'm not even watching the game but can agree about Sakho's passing - it's mostly forward driving passes taking out a midfield player or two, great boon for the side. Especially when it means Lovren is also not playing.

What???

Typical Liverpool creating chances, but not putting them away. Good to see Sturridge back, Moreno is playing well and Sakho is infinitely better than Lovren.

[danperkins]

Moreno had been sensational, providing a fantastic outlet. His delivery could improve but at least it's an outlet.

[Exiled_red]

Better half than we have been having. Sturridge in there adds a different dimension, Sakho at the back looks a different class. Some decent chances and we should be in front, at times though we haven't looked like we know what to do in the final third or have made some poor decisions. Milner and Benteke should have scored IMO. Midfield needs sorting out though they aren't influencing the game as they should be.

[kingfunk]

I not Lovrens or Sakhos biggest fan but it is refreshing to see Sakho back, definitely more progressive.

[Tatterdemalion]

I really would much rather during the close season sign just 2 or 3 players who can adapt to a settled team so we can start well, rather than trying to fix every problem area all at once and taking until November to play well or worse, not fixing any problem area at all because the team was never settled enough to know.

[danperkins]

Milner is very good behind the front two. Had his best season there with Villa. He seems to slow in possession and ponderous when he's playing so deep. After a lousy 30 mins, he looked good last 15 and is trying to make runs forward.

Clyne imo is a defenders defender, looks uncomfortable at wing back.

[Robbie-9-Fowler]

Grew into that half, probably could have done without HT coming as it could kill our momentum.

Moreno has been brilliant, Clyne has drawn plaudits this season but he's yet to get near the level Moreno has shown in the first 45. Very good outlet and could have had a couple of assists already, we can't play Gomes at home in these games it handicaps us.

[Leyton388]

That was a decent first half and a little more positive but this is a game we really should be win.

[Fosterbloke]

What???

Sorry meant Gomez on for Lucas (remove DM and add solid LB) and push Can into CM.

its a terrible way to use lucas. back three then we dont need a dm, especially against norwich, ffs.
if we stay with a back three then we need milner, can and firmino with coutinho in front of them. milner central, firmino left and can on the right.
