Brentford away Saturday 25th October 8pm

[Sus]

If we have title ambitions I don’t think a draw is good enough, we need to be beating these teams, this is where leagues are won and lost.

Agreed. On top of that, we don’t have any wriggle room after our 3 losses

This game will tell us a lot more about the team, and whether Frankfurt was a blip or whether we really are on the path to more solidity and cohesion

[frank the tank]

frankfurt were so open....... brentford will be tight and will aim for set piece joy against us.

I expect that they might play a back 5 - so hope that Wirtz starts

[Catrin]

Probably will be a back five so Mo will be up against Hickey and Collins. Cody might have better luck on the other side against Kayode and Ajer. I don’t remember Van Den Berg having much pace so he won’t catch Hugo if he gets the ball in a bit of space.
I just hope Konate concentrates on the job at hand instead of getting into a physical battle with whichever grok they put up front. And that we don’t give Damsgard time and space on the ball.

[Slinky Skills]

Whatever happens we need to play Curtis Jones in this as he's so comfortable on the ball and has the vision to open teams up.

[peterbread]

Liverpool XI to play Brentford: Mamardashvili; Bradley, Konate, Van Dijk, Kerkez; Jones, Szoboszlai; Salah, Wirtz, Gakpo; Ekitike.

Subs: Woodman, Gomez, Endo, Mac Allister, Chiesa, Robertson, Ngumoha, Nyoni, Morrison

[BobTheCharmer]

Kerkez and salah. Back to what we know.

I'm sure robbo can play back to back this early in the season.

He seems determined to get kerkez in regardless of form.

[Tatterdemalion]

Be interesting to see what kind of game Bradley has. I'm thinking that allowing Salah not to track back is causing more than a few problems. Sure I'm not the first to think this.

Jesus friggin wept.

[Kenneth]

We cannot do basic defending.

[danperkins]

My god

[BobTheCharmer]

Our own fault. Haven't strung 2 passes together. Bye slot.

[baitman]

Kerkez

[danperkins]

Kerkez had been absolutely awful in a Liverpool shirt

[Kenneth]

Our own fault. Haven't strung 2 passes together. Bye slot.

We've have the ball in midfield a couple of times and looked back to konate, who then gets closed down. It's socl unbelievably negative and needs to **** off.
