chicken 2,605 Posted March 2, 2022 A couple of things in this game that have been interesting, to me at least. Zimmermann - despite some of the negative comments he often gets from some on here, I haven't really seen a huge difference in quality between him and Gibson. If anything the ITV pundits appear to be praising his distribution more. 2nd goal probably harsh to blame entirely upon him. IMHO, certainly still decent, also didn't seem too sluggish today which can only be good. A tip top Zimmermann is a good player. That midfield was far more solid. Rupp, PLM and Normann has to be the way forward now. Lots of hard work and endeavour with a good range of passing at times, along with all three being happy to shoot from distance if need be. Sargent looked confident in the forward role, some nice touches and a neat little pass to Rupp for his goal, though Rupp truly made it with a little drop of the shoulder.

Jim Smith 2,314 Posted March 2, 2022 Well we have a few moments there and avoided humiliation but really that was just pathetically easy for Liverpool in the most part. Same old issues. No physicality in midfield. Opposition players allowed to run long distances with the ball far too easily, crap marking from crosses/set pieces. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's the guy who failed to notice Denmark were down to ten men in the Euro semi final, wasn't he. Absolutely useless. Whole of ITV's coverage was cringeworthy. I know the majority of people watching will have been Liverpool fans, but it was like watching LFCTV. Just embarrassing. A shame we couldn't rub their noses in it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
unique 434 Posted March 2, 2022 Pukki is way off the pace at the moment. Rupp is a significant upgrade on McLean. Giannoulis is unfortunate not to get more game time. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sgncfc 1,223 Posted March 2, 2022 Started well, Pukki missed his customary chance, we then give them two goals with abject defending, unsurprisingly both coming from the player Giannoulis is "marking". The second goal was a bit lucky as he completely mi**** it but he had enough time to score three goals. Second half was OK only because Liverpool gave up and we didn't care enough. Sargent back to his old self. Rowe was bright(ish). Rupp and Byram both solid and hopefully will both start on Saturday. Zimbo surprisingly good alongside Gibson apart from the first goal. Gilmour anonymous (again). Pukki needs to score his chance on Saturday because unless we score first we will lose. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Very easy criticism when players are brought on with around a quarter of it left and the team they are coming on for are under the cosh. I'm not suggesting I don't agree that the three I mentioned deserve their chance together, I just don't think it's fair to base that entirely upon their run out at the end of the game tonight.

Channon’s Windmill 326 Posted March 2, 2022 Yep some positives to take into Saturday, would like to see Byram and Rupp retain a place. Williams and Hanley back in. Rowe to get minutes.

I don’t really care mathematically when we get relegated, because my point is IMO the root cause was decisions made before we kicked a ball. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
