Tott en Ham [H] - After Match Musings

[gratziani]

I think that the critisism of Lovren for the goal is harsh, he played well today and it was great play from Kane, I don't think there was much he could have done about it. I don't think that every goal we concede has to be someone's fault.

that is my take on it as well,

Whilst I agree with your last point, I do think on this occasion Lovren could have done better. In the first half Lovren had stood off Kane, forced him down the channel and times a challenge perfectly.

For the goal Lovren expects Kane to take a touch on the inside, commits himself and gets too tight. Kane rolls him, takes a great first touch and strikes the ball where Lovren should be.

It's a small thing, granted, but at that angle Kane shouldn't be getting a shot across goal.

He was top class overall and it was a great finish but he went to sleep cos he thought the ball was going out, in that time Kane moved away from him and then in the rush to close Kane down he got too tight. It's a mistake no doubt about it.

He was brilliant otherwise though and I think if the two of them keep playing as they are it'll be Sakho making way for Matip next season.

Drop Milner, Shove Henderson right and stick Allen in - Looks better already

[Reece]

Agree with the points about the ref. Whilst I don't think he particularly influenced the game I thought he was absolutely awful generally. He's easily one of the worst refs in the league.

Don't get the stuff about our midfield being awful. Whilst I don't think for a minute it can't be improved on, I thought Can and Henderson played really well today. Milner not so much mind.

[Reece]

P.S. Coutinho

I find it odd that Allen hasn't been given more game time, he has looked bright in his time on the pitch while as I've said before I don't think that any of the other CM's (Can aside) have been impressive during Klopp's time here.

[Big-Red-Ed]

Milner is the weak link at the minute. Allen in milner out. Origi for Sturridge. Done.

[Reece]

Milner is the weak link at the minute. Allen in milner out.

Kind of agree with that. Completely understand that Klopp loves his workrate but I don't think he's offering enough other than that at the moment.

[baitman]

Milner pissed me right off today, much of our play broke down to his poor passing or control.

Henderson had a good game. Pressing forward and also making up the yards to make defensive tackles... didn't think I would ever be saying that about him!

Coutinho as great but needs others around him. Too often his goals are solo efforts.

Mig was better.

[Rich]

I don't apportion any blame to Lovren for Kane's goal. Great turn, smart finish right in the corner.

[danperkins]

Lovren played well but getting too tight and rolled like that in your box is a bad error. He did cover for Sakho several times though.

[brightred]

I am getting really sick of Milner. Huffs and puffs but gives the ball away too often.

Replace him with a top class centre mid and we're laughing.

Nah. More a bit of excellence from Kane than an error from Lovren.

I don't expect anything but it would be great if Grujic hits the ground running.
