Can someone explain why we are so poor against Liverpool and Man city when other teams below us aren't.

Always give them time on the ball, they have too much quality to let them have it.

HesGoal stream is pretty decent and no lag at the moment

I'm watching that but everytime I try to go fullscreen it takes me to an Amazon Prime page.

Just close the prime page - check your browser settings - may need to have new tab for popup pages

They probably fielded a full set of 1st team regulars

Just watched the replay of the goal, hint of offside...???

Robertson onside. The central striker was offside but moved away from the ball

Chance for Jay.

Wondering if the pass across goal would be counted as a shot or not...?

Pope makes it a hat trick just before halftime.

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Sat Jul 11, 2020 3:47 pm

Another great save by NP right on half time.

Gordaleman · Post by **Gordaleman** » Sat Jul 11, 2020 3:48 pm

Pope keeps us in it on the stroke of HT.

POPE what a keeper!

Safron · Post by **Safron** » Sat Jul 11, 2020 3:48 pm

Making Liverpool work hard , just wish we had a little more quality in possession

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Sat Jul 11, 2020 3:49 pm

Another world class save to end the half.

But he shouldn't have had to do it.
Woody was clearer fouled but, it wasn't given.

We're still in this.
Just.

What exactly did you expect today, and which other teams have given Liverpool problems at Anfield this season, i can't think of many.

Maybe they are dominating the game because they have a few quite decent players, hence why they are walking the the league, and they might well set a new points record, get a sense of reality, and i wouldn't say we've been poor, Brighton were 2 down after 8 minutes the other night, we're still right in this contest.

Another fantastic save - what a keeper

Our pass completion rate is good. Pity it's mainly to Liverpool players

Wile E Coyote · Post by **Wile E Coyote** » Sat Jul 11, 2020 3:51 pm

I know we're biased, but can anyone really say Pope isn't far and away the best english keeper ?

pickford just isn't remotely as good.

burnleymik · Post by **burnleymik** » Sat Jul 11, 2020 3:51 pm

Great to see Pope getting the credit he deserves on social media and from the commentators. He had a great half.

FCBurnley · Post by **FCBurnley** » Sat Jul 11, 2020 3:52 pm

A wonder header by Robertson is the difference. We are doing ok

That's the one I'm watching.

Not used hesgoal previously but yeah seems pretty good and connected easily (no sign up or automatic re-directs to dodgy websites like on some other streams)

Buffered once on about 32 mins but a quick refresh and it was fine.

NewClaret · Post by **NewClaret** » Sat Jul 11, 2020 3:52 pm

Pope out of this world.

Shame they scored from an avoidable corner.

Wood looks off the pace to me. Bring Vyds on for second half.

Vino blanco · Post by **Vino blanco** » Sat Jul 11, 2020 3:53 pm

Right, we've tired them out now, second half time to dominate and wup them.

jojomk1 · Post by **jojomk1** » Sat Jul 11, 2020 3:54 pm

No point in playing two up front to chase aimless punts which means the ball just come straight back at us

The fact that we're playing Liverpool and will probably lose, might mean we'll get more than two minutes on MOD, and the pundits will have to say something about Pope. Today could be the catalyst for change in the England pecking order.

Half time and Pope outstanding.

Great header, for their goal.

Here is Madge for our entertainment.

Yep, time to bring on Vydra and Gudders and stretch them a bit more.

EarbyClaret · Post by **EarbyClaret** » Sat Jul 11, 2020 3:56 pm

Did well not to cave in after the goal and actually got into their box a few times after that

Pope keeping us in the game but as long as it stays 1-0 they struggle when Westwood sticks the ball in right on top of Allison - plus they have made a couple of really poor unforced errors at the back

That being said I'd take 1-0 or 2-0 and move on

What has been telling about the last few seasons is that the big clubs tend to pick the best team available against us - and they are always up for it - that is the respect they give us, especially Pep and Klopp, they want they teams to be on their best form against us - which explains why they usually win and win well

Conroy92 · Post by **Conroy92** » Sat Jul 11, 2020 4:00 pm

Time to being McNeil inside for me. They are getting far too much space in there. Pieter's off, JBG on and let's give them something to think about in an attacking sense.

superdimitri · Post by **superdimitri** » Sat Jul 11, 2020 4:01 pm

Wood and Rodriguez feeding on scraps but I feel they both play too similar games. We are basically counting on a magic cross or set play hitting one of them on the head.

huw.Y.WattfromWare · Post by **huw.Y.WattfromWare** » Sat Jul 11, 2020 4:02 pm

Our biggest problem against both Liverpool & City is that their midfielders are so good ours play deeper and the gap to Jay and Wood is too much. They can’t hold it up long enough for teammates to get to them.
We are not out if this yet. Dwight has had a couple of decent runs. We just need the cross onto a Clarets head.

FCBurnley · Post by **FCBurnley** » Sat Jul 11, 2020 4:03 pm

just A reminder. Liverpool are currently the best team in the WORLD

They are but bear in mind their youngsters are top quality, remember it was basically their youth team that knocked a full-strength Everton team out of the FA Cup this season, Jones looks quality, and Williams is not bad either. Klopp's no mug, if they weren't ready he wouldn't pick them.

I wonder if Karen Carney saw that ball hit Jay on the head? Shame he’s no good in the air.
