[PL] Burnley (A) Post Match

[Harv]

Sturridge is a complete waste of a shirt. He's done. He offers absolutely nothing to this side unless the perfect pass is played to him. He won't chase after anything.

I never want to see Henderson again. Unfortunately some ****ing bellend with shiny teeth made him our captain and now we can't get rid of the turd. He's the weakest CM in the league. Cant hit a forward pass to save himself, can't control a ball in under three touches, can't tackle and he sure as **** can't lead. Get rid Klopp.

Shootinho needs his head slapped around also. How many shots did he have - and every one was ballooned over the bar! **** off. Yeah, you get the odd worldy mate. But ****ing pass the ball, its a team game. Thats where you need a captain that pulls him aside and says, if you try be a hero and blast the ball a mile wide again, when there are options to pass, i will cave your scrawny little head in.

[PL] Burnley (A) Post Match

Some good points made in here - yes, also a fair dose of some doom and gloom but no surprise seeing as it happens season after season. My biggest worry, as it was last season, is why can't any of our players consistently shoot accurately?! It completely baffles me. I've seen brick-****houses of Sunday league players hit the target 60-70% of the time yet our flair and experienced players continue to blast efforts high and wide, scuffed into the ground... It's beyond belief.
We laugh at Lucas' efforts from midfield, but Henderson, Lallana, Firmino, Allen (when he was here) regularly fluff their shots.
Coutinho is the only exception as he has games where everything he hits is a worldy, followed next game by everything he hits goes into orbit...
Need a Mascherano type player to sit in front of the CBs and break up play. The likes of Henderson, Lallana, Can, Mane etc can then break quickly. Henderson is painfully slow at the minute and generally just goes backwards.

The honeymoon is well and truly over. It's Klopp's own team now yet we still have a defence made of crepe paper, still have no protection in front of that crepe paper, and still look like we could play 360 minutes against a deep defence and not score unless it's a worldie or a peno.

Sure, it's early days, but not too early to ask what the **** was being done during the summer? I don't give a **** if we beat spurs because the pattern shows another day like this is just right around the same corner we'll no doubt be thinking we've just ****ing turned.
We're still trying to be clever clogs and mind the pennies in the transfer market but that rarely if ever works. If Leicester's title-winning legacy is to give perpetual licence to our owners to replace ambition with a ****ing abacus, then even the romantic in me says **** that.

Sturridge is looking a poor option just now - there were times today where he looks like he can't run fast enough to be effective anymore. He drops too deep and when he's there, wants too much time on the ball. I've been a huge fan of his over the years, but I have my doubts about whether his peak is well and truly gone. (Similair for Henderson)

The problem with the shooting is that far too often we are shooting from distance, we had about 20 shots yesterday and most of them came from outside the area. It takes a really good shot to score from that type of distance (which we are capable of) but statistically we are going to miss most of those chances and we should be trying to create better chances, as shooting from distance often just relieves pressure on the opposition.

Most of our problems come from midfield and ours has been **** since the days of Alonso, masch and Gerrard. Yesterday we looked vulnerable to counters because lallana, wijnaldum aren't central midfield players and Henderson needs to play further forward.

In a midfield 3 we need a sitter, a no6 creative type and a box to box for goals. At present we have no sitter, the closest we have to a 6 is emre Can, and we have 3 box to box mids in hendo, lallana and wij.

That midfield isn't right but the disappointing thing is that we have had all summer to sort it out.

Apparently a bid has gone in for Leandro paredes from Roma and if that's true he would be our new dm.

[Fosterbloke]

Is he any good?

[Fredo]

About ****ing time.

[Daniel 7]

Was it about now that you started the Vodka?

I might MIGHT have been trying to get someone (anyone) to react to liven things up a bit !

[Daniel 7]

Well, y'know, it's been a while now and he's not getting back to what he was before. You were saying it 15 minutes into his comeback

It's as simple as that
