[COC] Stoke (H): Post Match

[Lecter]

I think statistics show clearly that we have played the most games in Europe this season, surely that counts for something, plus the injuries we've had. Flanagan and Kolo are not fit enough and I think Henderson is still not fit either. We're missing Coutinho, Skrtel, Lovren, Origi, Ings, Gomez and Sturridge, and we've had a change of manager, I think it's a very good achievement to have reached the final considering everything.

I think Sakho is still injured also, his thigh was strapped up last night

Injuries have played a massive part so far under Klopp

He needs to catch a break

West Ham on Saturday and then this, six games already in February with potentially seven if we progress in the FA, eight if win a replay.

I'd be tempted to play Caulker and Lovren against West Ham, hopefully Clyne will be better and Smith at left back.

One thing that still concerns me is the amount of times we play the ball backwards

We play it forward and players have time and space to turn and run at the opposition yet choose to pass backwards

Cant decide if this is a leftover from Brendan and players low on confidence (or both) but we need to stop it

Players need to show a bit of bottle and take responsibility because if they dont they almost certainly wont be here next season

Nobody to pass it to. Coutinho always makes himself available for balls from deep and he's not there as would Ings or origi. Once we get our best players back we will be fine in the attacking 3rd, its just at the moment we have to put up with lallana and Milner as support for Firmino. We don't have anyone else.

I'd be playing a much younger team vs West Ham and keep the others fit for the Leicester game.

Ward, Caulker, Illori, Smith, Allen, Teixeira, Benteke etc

Or you can judge them in a couple of months when our fixture congestion has eased somewhat.

Ive been judging most of them for a few seasons dude

Then keep hold of the ****ing ball

I dont buy this no movement stuff, players are abdicating responsibility its ****ing shocking

How often a ball is played to someone who is in space, or has space open up in front of them. Instead of carrying the ball forward they will look to play it sideways or backwards

Its ****ing criminal

Too injured to participate in the celebrations

...Or he just doesn't give a ****.

Heck two guys with busted ACL's are there front and centre!

Where's Origi and Coutinho then? Clearly they don't give a **** either?

Agree with this, pack the bench with the nailed on's

-------------Ward
Clyne--Caulker--Ilori--Smith
-----------Stewart
-----Brannagan & Allen
-Ojo-----Benteke------Ibe

sort of thing

what Klopp said in his interview was very true Our players were ****ed, they were not playing that well, but they kept ****in going. There are a lot of miles on the clock but as a team we just kept going...... that is what good teams do.


For me, if Sturridge and/or Ings were fit all season, then we would be up there challenging for the league. Leicester are proving this year (and we did in 13/14) that if you can score a lot of goals then you can challenge. Fock we might even still have had Rodgers in charge then as well.... and if as a team we have an extra 20 goals then all of sudden people are very excited about the prospects of LFC....

For me, we just need goals. That is maybe why Teixeria would be a (potentially) brilliant signing.
