Liverpool vs Leicester - Premier League (18/19 - Game 24)
Difficult game on a difficult pitch. We were controlling it fine but we didn't defend this properly. Had the defenders pushed up in unisson Maguire would have been offside.
Anyway, we need to keep being patient as Leicester have been all game. We need a bit of crazyness to disrupt their shape.
Poor defending to concede the freekick and then defending it. Typical that it's Maguire who shouldn't even be on the pitch though
The only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved.
We’ve let them back into the game, we could be 1-2 down at HT if Maddison has scored that header. Far too sloppy giving possession away too easily and not releasing the ball quick enough. Big 45 ahead. Can’t drop points the day after Citeh did - we’ll be the bottlers again in the press.
Naive at the end there. Early goal meant that we thought we could stroll around. Hopefully the wake up call we need
Complacency is our biggest issue. We go into safe mode and then turn it on when we need to. But eventually we will come up short. Get a second and then pass them to death.

We look to be falling into the same trap that City fell into last night, early goal, taking foot off the gas and letting them back into it. We need to come out second half with more urgency.

I thought we were good in possession but lost it a couple of times high up the pitch to allow them to counter us. It's difficult though, to keep passing at that speed on such a pitch not to make mistakes.
We might have had the better of the play, but Leicester had some decent chances, we need to be careful in the second half. We did well early on but I don't remember many chances for us after that. The decision to only book Maguire for cynically bringing down Mane was a game changer.

We've done similar a few times this year. Luckily we've managed to get the results so it's not mattered.
Worry is the longer it goes on, the more desperate we get and they get us on the break.
We are starting to concede soft goals after doing so well.
