Liverpool vs FC Midtjylland - Champions League Group D (20/21 - Game 2)

Poor Taki looks despondent. It's not happening is it?

He looked promising in the first couple of games of the season

He's gone from no 4 in the pecking order to no 5 now Jota is here and firing.

[Buzzo]

Rhys Williams has done really well so far.

Neither of them have a case for first team football given their performances. If they don't improve soon they may not even have much of a case for remaining at the club.

Derek’s had much longer to make a more consistent impact but his legend status for scoring mentally important goals has given him a loooong stay of execution... Taki’s been here five minutes in comparison but needs to start imposing himself in games far more. We don’t need another Milan Baros..

Massive dose of hindsight but Jones looks completely at ease (so far), could have saved Fab.

Jones?

[Norbs]

Some Welsh bloke or other

[McDermotX]

No and it's a missed opportunity for them as they are firmly behind the regular front three and Jota, and did nothing to suggest that could change.

Certainly Origi was a surprise to still see togging out after summer. Covid stepped in there perhaps.

Hendo reappearing looking like ‘Int Milk Brilliant...’ from the Fast Show

Mino doesn't look too happy; knows he's missed a big opportunity to impress.

And missed the opportunity to show what he can do alongside Salah and Mane. Got to be frustrating having a chance to impress and trying to link up with Divok

[labourRed]

Very well.

In agreement with Minamino, I'd prefer a switch with Shaqiri to be fair but Minamino is so light i can see why it doesn't work.

[BootRoom]

Jones?

Williams *slaps head*

Origi is a perfect sub for when teams are knackered with 20 minutes to go. He comes on, puts the ****s up leggy defences and has a track record of scoring important goals for us. On that basis he gets a place. Don't know where Taki fits really.

But defo a rec for reference to our very own Ostravan Maradona.

[McDermotX]

Good strength from Gomez there. Very similar to an incident in the first half when he wasn't commanding.

I thought after the CL winning season he could put in those levels of performance he would have been a good 4th forward, but the last year or so almost every performance has been poor, not sure what has happened to him

[Venton]

Shaq's bouffant genuinely bounces up and down when he runs, even in slow motion. That's what you get for your money, none of your cheap lack of bounce.
