We were well in it for 5 minutes

Great save, Trafford

Pickles · Post by **Pickles** » Tue Dec 26, 2023 5:39 pm

Oh well. Five minutes in, done and dusted?

CoolClaret · Post by **CoolClaret** » Tue Dec 26, 2023 5:39 pm

Damn - that’s the difference I guess.

Amdouni lovely bit of play but couldn’t find a man, then they went up the other end and scored…

So weak we get played through so easily

Well, this could be a mauling unless we tighten up

Radio commentator adds that Liverpool have won their last 5 Boxing Day fixtures scoring 17 and conceding just once.

What a finish from Salah , it was saved

Commy · Post by **Commy** » Tue Dec 26, 2023 5:42 pm

Foster hat trick will do

FCBurnley · Post by **FCBurnley** » Tue Dec 26, 2023 5:43 pm

Trafford gave Nunez 60 percent of the target to hit. He won’t miss that

THEWELLERNUT70 · Post by **THEWELLERNUT70** » Tue Dec 26, 2023 5:43 pm

Vitinho has had a poor start

CoolClaret · Post by **CoolClaret** » Tue Dec 26, 2023 5:43 pm

Been poor all year at picking up runners and being caught flat footed.

See how Liverpool are stretching the pitch with the occasional low trajectory ball over the top to keep us honest?

Something that we should be trying to utilising far more than we have done

What in the blue frack was that??

CoolClaret · Post by **CoolClaret** » Tue Dec 26, 2023 5:48 pm

Nah naive this lads.

Come on Vin, get them to know there’s a time and a place!

Commy · Post by **Commy** » Tue Dec 26, 2023 5:51 pm

If they are committing so many players to press there must be room in behind them. It seems like it is rocket science to footballers.

THEWELLERNUT70 · Post by **THEWELLERNUT70** » Tue Dec 26, 2023 5:52 pm

This is just really poor throughout so far unfortunately ,amateur stuff where we aren't even the basics remotely well

cockneyclaret · Post by **cockneyclaret** » Tue Dec 26, 2023 5:52 pm

I don't get how a professional player can't hoof the ball more than 20 yards when under pressure

nyclaret · Post by **nyclaret** » Tue Dec 26, 2023 5:52 pm

We’ve got the second worst home atmosphere in the league behind Fulham.

criminalclaret · Post by **criminalclaret** » Tue Dec 26, 2023 5:52 pm

Attack is the best form of defence. Which is what we have to do as we look so scared the back.

Playing out from the back is a dangerous for us as defending a set piece.

Conceding within 5 minutes would do that to a home team

Sheedyclaret · Post by **Sheedyclaret** » Tue Dec 26, 2023 5:53 pm

Playing a good side but this is so so poor

^^^^^^^^^^

This is what has given me a bit of a downer about the manager. We can definitely hurt teams in behind more than we have been doing.

Ampth7 · Post by **Ampth7** » Tue Dec 26, 2023 5:54 pm

Somehow, we have to hang in there at the moment! Concede a second now and it’s a long evening

Foshiznik · Post by **Foshiznik** » Tue Dec 26, 2023 5:54 pm

This is going to be a loooong game

CryerBFC · Post by **CryerBFC** » Tue Dec 26, 2023 5:55 pm

Play to your strengths to get the most from any game, dicking around at the back is no way to get anything from one of the better teams in this league

Neil · Post by **Neil** » Tue Dec 26, 2023 5:57 pm

A very flat Turf Moor, you don't see many prem games this quiet.

Commy · Post by **Commy** » Tue Dec 26, 2023 5:57 pm

As soon as they start pressing we should be looking for Foster or the wingers. If we keep going over them they will soon stop pressing as much.

THEWELLERNUT70 · Post by **THEWELLERNUT70** » Tue Dec 26, 2023 5:58 pm

This is Dogsh!t, we are ballooning everything and every touch is just bouncing off our players

CryerBFC · Post by **CryerBFC** » Tue Dec 26, 2023 5:59 pm

How does Vitinho miss kick that

tarkys_ears · Post by **tarkys_ears** » Tue Dec 26, 2023 5:59 pm

Not sure what was just blown for - maybe a foul of Beyer but we got off with that one

Does that mean a good second half?

Pickles · Post by **Pickles** » Tue Dec 26, 2023 5:59 pm

Liverpool are good but we've been poor. Mainly off the ball. We're miles behind what is needed in terms of pressing and picking up runners.

Ampth7 · Post by **Ampth7** » Tue Dec 26, 2023 6:00 pm

What are we doing? We are getting absolutely pummelled!!

criminalclaret · Post by **criminalclaret** » Tue Dec 26, 2023 6:01 pm

Poor cross by oderbert but he is a left footer on the right.

Burnley fans might be mistaken for thinking they are at an away game at Anfield with the racket the scousers are making

THEWELLERNUT70 · Post by **THEWELLERNUT70** » Tue Dec 26, 2023 6:02 pm

There really is no excuse for not even remotely getting the basics right. Hopefully we can shake ourselves out of this stupor asap

ALP · Post by **ALP** » Tue Dec 26, 2023 6:03 pm

WTF are we doing at the back?

tarkys_ears · Post by **tarkys_ears** » Tue Dec 26, 2023 6:03 pm

Back to trafford, invite pressure, miskick it out for an oppo throw

Glad to see we've learned a lot this year

Even so, this atmosphere is pathetic let’s be honest.

CryerBFC · Post by **CryerBFC** » Tue Dec 26, 2023 6:04 pm

I remember years ago always getting a bit hyped to play the big teams, rough them up a bit, get the crowd into them, cause an upset.

Nowadays we just roll over and let them do what they want. Don’t give yourself a chance when you give them this much respect.

Croydon Claret · Post by **Croydon Claret** » Tue Dec 26, 2023 6:05 pm

Carved us apart there. Rare miss from Salah

THEWELLERNUT70 · Post by **THEWELLERNUT70** » Tue Dec 26, 2023 6:05 pm

Berge and Taylor offering a chance up to Salah to crash one against our bar, that's symptomatic of what's gone on so far today

SussexDon1inIreland · Post by **SussexDon1inIreland** » Tue Dec 26, 2023 6:05 pm

We are frankly not good enough at this level

I think to be fair to Liverpool, they are a top side!

CoolClaret · Post by **CoolClaret** » Tue Dec 26, 2023 6:06 pm

I’m trying to be positive but struggling.

This is our 19th game in the Premier League and VK hasn’t yet shown he knows how to set us up to look competitive against a significantly stronger team;

We will always have to nick the odd result against a top 6 team to remain in this league and I’m just not sure that we can without ridiculous money being poured into the XI - very happy and welcome to be wrong.

Against teams like this I would agree with you.

JimmyRobbo · Post by **JimmyRobbo** » Tue Dec 26, 2023 6:07 pm

A few strange decisions with our final ball....Tresor not shooting, Foster dallying, Amdouni half shot, Vitinho not cutting into the area on his left..

Happens when confidence has dropped but we're getting opportunities.

Safron · Post by **Safron** » Tue Dec 26, 2023 6:07 pm

Struggling to see what our tactics are tonight, and quite baffled why we have set up 442 against a far superior midfield, surely 5 in the middle would give more protection

Sheedyclaret · Post by **Sheedyclaret** » Tue Dec 26, 2023 6:09 pm

Only bonus it’s still 1 nil
