PSG vs Liverpool - Champions League (Group Game 5)

[Chris]

Seeing that Verratti foul again. Disgusting that wasn’t a straight red

He played like he'd bet every euro he'd got on himself to get a red card. Even after that he had like 5 bookable offences. Like, what the ****?! Even the refs over here don't take the piss quite that much!

That stunk, absolutely stunk.

Shocker

President running down there to get his lads to release the ref's family.

The best post of the thread but true

The ref made some baffling calls at time. Was a performance that drifted between incompetent and bent.

That midfield 3 was brutally beige. Never again please. Lovren why?

Gini and Milner did OK but are too slow to compete with their pace. Henderson was dismal all round.

[frank the tank]

When I see lovren doing his Stevie G style strut after he played a 20 yard simple pass it makes me so ****in angry. He is second only to Moreno in the hypothetical consequence-free punch list.

I think our transfer business was okay last summer. But for me we should have sold Lovren. Never was his stock so ****in high

At half time they showed some video showing the midfield three all in a line about 10 yards wide and bypassed with one pass, sunday league stuff from us.

Id be quite happy to never see henderson play for us again.
I will add him to my list along with moreno and lallana. Gini better pull his finger out too...

Our midfield has big the biggest problem for us this season, we say the front three aren’t firing but our midfielders aren’t getting them the ball quick enough. They also aren’t getting involved in our attacks - man do we miss Ox and (ahem) Phil. We are crying out for a top attacking midfielder such as Fekir for example.

We spent big on Naby and Fabinho and we’ve not seen them in full swing yet.

We need to get fabinho playing so he can help cover the midfield space that hendo, gini and milner vacated too often so we are not so easy to play through.
Then shaq along side milner, with keita as sub for milner is probably our best option.

Love Hendo....best back passer ever.

* In the back-pass rule era.

He did play forward a few times but I felt we should have fired it to the front line more often and supported them with forward runners. This aspect has disappeared this season.

Oh to have Oxlade back.

The lack of pace and creativity in the CM is worrying. It does seem like Keita and Fabinho won't bring much pace to it either. Genuinely shocked at how slow Keita, like Lallana type speed. We are a much better team with Shaq playing in the midfield but miss Coutinho horribly.

I really expected Fabinho and Keita to hit the round running, we are about 20 games in now and we have seen very little really from midfielders we spent the guts of 100m on. Their lack of game time when the current midfield is not functioning says it all, either not ready yet or not what Klopp thought they were... i'm hoping the former but for that money they should hit the ground running. Hoping with the busy schedule over Christmas we will see more of them so we can find out whether we've bought correctly or just blown 100m. We need to go into the market in January for another AM anyway.

Forward line is all over the shop, whether it is lack of service or them just being off form, it's not good. Bobby has been dire this season & isn't even putting in the work rate of last season. Mo clearly isn't the same even if his stats are decent & Mane has probably been our best attacking player IMO and he's not firing either.

Really and truly our defence has been our saving grace, so why mess with it? Gomez has performed aswell as any CB in European football this season and build a solid partnership with Virgil, why change that and play him in a position that he clearly struggles with? Also, he gives us nothing going forward in that position either so in a system that relies on fullbacks to get forward and gets balls in.... that's even less service to the front lads. That change and Dejan in, threw the defence. We looked all at sea in the first half. Lucky PSG burned out in the second 45 and even then we couldn't take advantage of. When have you ever seen PSG sitting back and defending deep in a game? Answer is never!

We played a safe and conservative line up that just wasn't build to come back from conceding first. The setup does seem to be made for the premier league but we have really struggled in Europe, very disappointing.

Or almost as if he played like he knew he wasn't going to get sent off.
