Sheffield United (a) - 6th Dec 2023

Bobby converted at a higher rate than Nunez does right now and his all round contribution was better. I’ve said it openly Harv that I really like him as a player and he gets into great positions but he needs to score more of the big chances he gets, that’s what we need

I meant to add this aswell

[Irishnev]

How did you feel about Firmino then

Apples for oranges. Firmino was facilitating a 20+ goal forward and a 30+ goal forward either side of him, whilst also hitting double figures himself.

The profile of the attack is different now, with a greater distribution of big chances now going to the No.9. So if that’s going to work, he needs to up his conversion.

[Buzzo]

well just that post alone had a "shocking", "dog****, and "worrying" in it. Not nuanced enough for you?

To be fair I cannot defend the rest of the forum!

[Harv]

One great thing about Alisson is he saves chances even if the player is offside, gets into the forwards head that they won’t score. It’s the same for Nunez, he didn’t know he was offside and if he finished it then he’d have more confidence the next time round

I like him Harv, he had way more output in 23 mins than Gakpo had in 70, hrs involved and things happen around him. But…… he misses too many big chances and so far it’s not hurting the team that much. He needs to increase his conversion rate, that’s what I expect of a Liverpool no 9

[Harv]

Is there only ‘****e’ and ‘amazing’ on the ratings or do we get to take a more nuanced look?

Somehow with all of these abysmal performances we are second in the League. Best GD in the League and 4 points ahead of City.

And we can get better.

So if he took the No 10 shirt, would that make him more of a fit? He has pace, he can lay on assists, he can beat a man with the ball...all attributes that Mane had in abundance and he was a fantastic no 10 in my opinion.

Personally, I absolutely loved that performance last night. It showed a different side to us. It was a tough away match. A hostile crowd. And we didn’t really offer them a sniff. We defended multiple high balls into the box. We dug in. It wasn’t pretty at all so you can highlight individual errors that had to be covered by other players. But the collective was very strong. The team won. The ethic and work rate was bang on a great performance for me with absolutely no bad performances I wasn’t sure we had a win like that in us that we need to blow teams away and if they play well we will outscore them. For me that performance showed we could be contenders this season. I hope to see more of them,

Nobody going to mention how dog**** Joe Gomez was?? An absolute calamity at LB. Plays the game like he's had a frontal lobotomy at times. Was so dopey im surprised they weren't out there moping up the puddles of drool off the pitch at HT.

Salah was shocking. Going to be interesting to see a full strength side without him when he ****s off to play out of his skin for Egypt again. Elliotts time to shine me thinks.

Diaz's form is seriously worrying. He's been ****e all season. Cant dribble around anyone anymore like Salah. He's completely lost his acceleration and top speed since that ****ing cunt at Arsenal did a hatchet job on him.

Let's all focus on Nunez's every touch though. He's the problem obviously.

I know there was a fair bit of additional time but that's exaggerating is a touch

4 times the xG/A to be precise

Its a save technically. He got it on target for a change.

Yeah I agree Joe had some very ropey moments & could have cost us some goals.

It’ll be interesting to see who Jurgen plays in Mo’s position when he’s away. Harvey, Diaz, Szoboszlai or Doak would all Hein the mix you’d assume.
