Liverpool v Fulham

[slaine]

Nice drop goal from "Captain Fantastic".

omg... 'Captain Fantastic' prescided over another win... How will you live with yourself?

[Buzzo]

Yessss.

Five wins in a row now. In with a chance of a CL spot if a few results go our way and we keep winning and in a very good position now to get at least a spot in the EL.

A bit of ‘scoreboard pressure’ on Utd and Newcastle for sure

Wins are all that count as you say and that’s 5 wins in 2 weeks

5 clear of Spurs now also.

Yeh sham we left the run to late this year.

Newcastle onlyy need 2 wins in there last 5 games. And united have got 2 games in hand.

I think the EL will be great for us next year and its another chance for A CL spot.

Special mention for Diop, thanks for the pen.

We didn’t really create very much, the whole game was a bit half hearted, but overall we were pretty good. Darwin as a starter didn’t really work, I think it would have a more comfortable game with Gakpo starting in his place. Fab and jones were good, Fulham weren’t. And Ali, kept his concentration well despite being bored for long periods and pulled off a couple of very important saves.

[Irishnev]

Squeaky bum time at the end and a bit daft from Gakpo and Elliott a few times not to keep the ball. Another win, a clean sheet(thanks Ali) and Diaz looks sharper

Nunez is a real worry for me though (sorry Harv) - just seems a bit thick

[ronanm]

Nunez was sht tbf.

Yeah… (and also not wanting to trigger Harv!) again with Nunez he seems on a different wavelength. The moment when Trent played him in he went a. The wrong way and b. Too early, was miles off.

Trent was raging

It could well be communication. But he is a pretty blunt tool on current form. Gakpo on the other hand looks instantly at home.

I can't remember their keeper having much to do but Ali did by far the more consequential work.

[Charly]

Nunez was sht tbf.

At a certain point people have to realise that he is not a good footballer by LFC standards. He is a bit of a donkey at times. Basic passing and layoffs show his touch to be too heavy. I said his technique was poor in his first couple of games, and I stand by it.

[Harv]

Different player to Nunez. His running is incisive and commits defenders and he keeps looking for the ball constantly

Fixed it for you

[Harv]

Nunez was sht tbf.

Wasn't great, looks so low on confidence, yet we wouldn't have won that game without him. They don't help him with some of the aimless hoofs he's expected to chase down either though.

Salah was ****ing ****e again too. Found it incredibly hard to pass the ball to one of our players for some reason.

[Harv]

I knew this moment would get brought up.

For one, Trent took way too long too pass that ball, then when he did it was to the completely wrong side of Darwin, who as you say was already offside. What is he honestly expected to do there? Trent is the one looking at the play, he should be seeing where Darwin's body is shaped to go and be able to play him into that channel - not play the ball the other way when the play is already dead. Then raging at him because you were too slow to play the ball?? Looks like he's learnt from the best in Hendo.

Also Gakpo looks instantly at home?

Go read the Gakpo thread back

You lot were all writing him off after 5-6 games "so slow" "cant see where he fits in..... bla bla bla" the usual muck

[SB]

He scored from the spot against Spurs in the last game as well.

Yeah thank you captain obvious that’s his last two straight down the middle I still don’t feel confident just yet

[danperkins]

I'm not sold on Gakpo or Nunez yet to be honest.

I agree Gakpo took a few games to settle. I meant that Gakpo looks instantly at home when he is on the pitch now. Nunez doesn’t.

His not being able to communicate just cannot be helping him right now.
