Watford (A): Post Match

[spud_gun]

At least we won the Audi cup

[Exiled_red]

Terrible performance in the first half, only Mane came out of it with any credit. Second half seemed muh better, and it looked like we had turned it around, unfortunately our defence is capable of turning a game against us in a second.

I didn't like the idea of substituting defenders so late in the game. I'm not sure any of the subs worked to be honest. But there is a distinct difference in quality between the players who started and the players on the bench.

On a positive note I think we can do some real damage with this pacy attack, if we can keep hold of Coutinho. The midfield was lacking a dimension without him and if he leaves that will be a major problem.

I'm not sure Watford's 3rd should have stood, but our defending is woeful and that needs to be addressed urgently, both in terms of personel and defensive organistion.

Poor performances today.

Team was poor, lots of poor individual performances, and the manager was poor with his subs.


Bad day at the office and two points dropped.


Onwards and upwards for the next game

If I was to use an analogy, that was like a big bag of ****e......that smells like really smelly ****e........with loads of ****e rubbed on the outside of the bag and with ****e coming out of a hole at the end of the same bag. With a Western Union logo on the side.

[Fredo]

We had no control of the game today. We are at our best defensively when we dominate.

****in hell we lost that ****in thing as well

[Robbie-9-Fowler]

Klopp needs to take blame here. First of all why the flying **** can he not set up a defence at this stage? How long before he concedes we need a new keeper? Why does he keep playing the same defenders that keep on making the same mistakes all the time? Why on gods green earth do you take your best defender on teh day off in the 90th ****ing minute!!!??

Riduclous game management, we were cruising before that. Klopp ****ed up today like he does alot of the time with very unusual substitutions. ****ing furious. Absolutely nothing has changed since last season.

Partially

He bought one

Think he had cramp and was on a yellow

Today was the first test in terms of a pressured, competitive game. Pre-season does not include that critical element, and in our first encounter with that element factored in, bang, all of our old habits come creeping back in.

It didn't help that we lacked a creative spark in midfield, and that's what not having Coutinho or Lallana does. I'm not a fan of Mane and Salah on opposite wings. There were times when if they'd switched, they could've made far more penetrative runs between the fullbacks.

We always have a wank after pre-season, but when it really matters, well, it's only one game, but we shall see.

It's looking like a backward step on last season already and a difficult game against Hoffenheim.

We're winning nothing with FSG, but they might when they eventually sell.

nah....not buying that.....

oh and i dont believe that cunt Coutinho is injured either. So **** him.

I do believe that Sturridge is injured. But we need to **** him off as well. Pathetic.

We need to pull out the wallet and make the VVD and Keita deals happen. And follow that up with 2 or 3 other players too..

[Exiled_red]

31% of our goals conceded since Klopp came in have been from set pieces. That seems like it should be a priority in sorting out our defending

****in hell we lost that ****in thing as well

We won the Asia cup !!!! We are Champions of Asia !!!!!

Henry was absolutely wank for that last goal. If heads the ball out before the ball reaches Wij's elastic neck, and before Mignolets punches a ball that was going miles away back into his own goal we would have won the game.

Sack FSG.

What game should I watch next? Everton vs Stoke, Chelsea vs Burnley or Southampton vs Swansea?
