I dare say the comments were a bit moot after last week's twitter spat. Still a lot criticising Eddie suggesting that he's not elite level as he doesn't make subs like Pep and Klopp. The kind of ludicrous comments you'd hear from fan accounts owned by Mackems and scousers. 

[Howay 12496]

Aye and it’s also worth noting most of Klopps subs were fucking shocking . Diaz was giving Trippier some trouble early on and he subbed him, Elliott had absolutely no impact on the game. It was subbing on the £80m striker they had on the bench that shockingly made a difference. 

[Dr Gloom 22134]

I’d like to see Hall start ahead of Burn too but I doubt he will. He wasn’t even on the bench against Liverpool. Howe definitely prefers to give players plenty of time to get up to speed with how we play before throwing them in. Not just understanding how we execute our press and passing sequences but improving their fitness too. Gordon admitted it took him a while to get fit enough for the way we play  after he signed

Doesnt seem to stop the narrative that Klopp tactically outclassed Eddie.

Huge amount of luck involved in that game.

Thought it had gone our way, but in reality it turned out well for them.

Bringing on Harvey Elliot changed the game for Liverpool iyam . After we’d missed all those chances Klopp saw his chance for 15 mins of mayhem with Nunez up top but they needed to feed him. Us missing those chances allowed it but to me Klopp was tactically very good at the end

Big credit to them for staying in the game. But it was hardly a genius move by Klopp - throwing on some attacking players with ten to go after we failed to kill them off and started to try to protect our lead. Oldest play in the game, out of the Bog Sam playbook: Stay in the contest then gamble and try to Nick it with 10 to go. The difference being Klopp has an £80m striker on the bench 

[Renton 21973]

It's fairly obvious Klopp is a top class tactician. At the moment for me and to my lay eye it looks like Howe's weakest attribute. But his coaching is par excellence and his strategic way of playing has been a revelation. Where we are now,. I wouldn't swap him for anyone, Pep included. Whilst Pep is undisputed at this level, he's never had to build a team from relegation fodder before.

As has been said they had a huge dose of luck, again. Kind of hoping one of these xG nerds might have been along to help out with this, but they're nowhere to be seen when you actually want them.

Much against my better judgement:

Saw Dave mooching on Twitter yesterday morning but when you need the fucker he’s never around 🤷🏻‍♂️

 

(his apprentice has obviously bottled bringing it up when he was on earlier, probably shows that xG is just counting again  ) 

[PaddockLad 17639]

Dave’s burner accounts are cropping up everywhere now

The xG data reinforces what most of us have said. We should have won. We had the chances to win, but we failed to really dominate or create the number of high value opportunities you would expect against 10 men. Credit to horse teeth for the way he set them up. But we bottled it in the end. 

[Howay 12496]

We did aye, couple that with both the Nunez finishes being brilliant strikes as well. 

[Holden McGroin 6779]

I shall be in attendance for this one.  It will be a tough game and we’ll likely have much less of the ball so will need to be lethal on the break. 
 

I should have also started the the thread to continue my unbeaten run. 

[aimaad22 4222]

I'd take a point, 3 would be fantastic. If we dont get a result it had better be because they play brilliantly and not us shooting ourselves in the foot again.

 

I hope Howe can find a way to start Barnes and Gordon. Bruno needs to cut out the critical errors and we need to get Isak more involved. If Willock is able to play a role that would be a big plus, we've missed his ball carrying ability and the space he can open with all the running. 

[Monkeys Fist 43048]

I can see us bouncing back with a bang here 

 

0-5. 
 

2 for Isak

2 for Gordon 

1 for Wilson to get Mrs. Wykiki dripping like a fucked fridge. 

[Howay 12496]

Willock won’t be back, Howe said recently that he might be back in training for the international break. 

 

 

[Gemmill 45987]

Will Lewis Hall get a start if Botman is missing this weekend, do we think? Burn to LCB.

 

Or does he go with Schar and Lascelles at CB?

[Dr Gloom 22134]

i'm getting the sense botman might be okay for this match 

[Dr Gloom 22134]

i would be tempted to play hall regardless but i suspect howe might want more time with him on the training ground before he starts him 

[Gemmill 45987]

Howe has said he has bruising and swelling on his ankle. Hope's assessment from the press conf this morning is "there is a chance but would appear very unlikely".

 

Might be more Howe smokescreens.

[Dr Gloom 22134]

ah, i didn't see the press conference so may have got that wrong. 

[Gemmill 45987]

I've not watched it either mind so this is all going off second hand. Howe very rarely gives a thumbs up for potentially injured players the day before the game though, so it could turn out fine. 

 

I imagine Botman is one that's considered integral enough that you send him out if there's any chance. It's not a muscle thing so it's not gonna get any worse. 

[wykikitoon 20702]

Can't see him playing Hall.  He maybe on the bench.  Think he would rather have Burn CB and Targett playing.
