Monterrey vs Liverpool (Club World Cup - Semi Final)

[dom9]

They're a long ball team.

It's an interesting challenge with a makeshift defence. We don't recall get long ball teams in this way at home any more.

[labourRed]

Our backline is all over the shop which obviously is no surprise. Everything is so slow in midfield, needs to be quicker. Ox and Origi been so quiet

Ox never does well against a low block. Never has the space to run onto.

[Chris]

Absolutely insane how good Alisson is.

[danperkins]

Hendo is lost at CB, Ali class.

[Kenneth]

Just seen their goal, bloody hell, that was a stinker by our defence.

[Irishnev]

Hendo is lost at CB

madness we are resorting to this - that bloody game last night didn't help. No control in midfield and poor at the back.

We need to build phases and run these ****ers around

[dom9]

Who is the bell end on co commentary?

[McDermotX]

Keita likes these late runs into the box

[Buzzo]

Who is the bell end on co commentary?

Stephen Warnock.

[Roboklopp]

Who is the bell end on co commentary?

Ha thinking exactly same

[Irishnev]

Origi having one of those games where he looks like he never played football before

Our tempo is way too slow - they are dragging us down to their level

[danperkins]

Midfield has been desperate, Ox strolling around, Lallana offers zero defensive support and too slow on ball, Shaq does not suit playing on left... should switch with Naby. Derek strolling too imo, non existent. Mo actually only one putting in the graft and maybe Keita.

[dom9]

Stephen Warnock.

I wonder if he's ever seen us play before?

Clueless.

[Roboklopp]

Grrrr

[labourRed]

This and Watford show how important our full backs are. Need both to switch keep it wide, that said I'm not so sure we can do this with Hendo and Gomez at the back... We look so vulnerable through the channels and the back is makeshift.
