Amazing fight tonight. Wolves played us out of the game in the second half. Klopp is right about Adama, unplayable. 3 or 4 times he just said here it is, you can’t stop it with his first 5 yards to create space. We tried getting tight immediately, shading over, straight up fouling him and he was unbothered. No fullback in the world was covering him tonight. We played in at least 3 formations in the second half and I think a lot of it has to do with they haven’t figured out how to play Minamino yet. He was doing a lot of running but never exploiting or creating space. I think a lot of our troubles stemmed from that confusion. I think Origi will start going forward. All that said, the mentality of this team to steal all three and keep it going was just amazing. Hendo man of the match by a mile for me. Earning a trophy for the club seems to have freed him to push even further. I don’t know what our yellow card situation is but we should be strategically clearing the tab between here and City. If Sadio is a muscle tweak like was said, it will be a month.
Hope Minamino is ok to play on Sunday. They were saying his calf was bothering him yesterday. Wonder if we see Lovren and Matip both start. Need to give everyone that started yesterday the day off on Sunday.
Going back to this, would people rather win the league and win the FA cup doing the domestic double or just win the league but break the points record?
If those are my only options then But I would rather remain European champions than get the points record
It was just a curiosity thing because you’re winning the league and breaking the points record. Just a question of what/if you do on top of that. FA Cup and/or UCL
At this point for City, I’m hoping to keep you from invincibles and to knock you out of UCL (if we get past Real)
If they're able to win the league, break the record, and win the UCL again, this will probably go down as the greatest team of all time and I'm not just talking shit.
I think this is such a hard thing to say in soccer #embracedebate Mid Aught Chelsea Mid Aught Milan Barca w Pep There’s others too. I’m not saying I disagree (except maybe 2011-13 Messi Barca teams, god they were unbelievable) but to me that question is really really hard to answer for soccer where combination of tactics, experience, manager, and players all matter vs. basketball where it’s just players, football where it’s basically quarterbacks and defensive schemes, and baseball where it’s just statistics.
Winning back to back Champions Leagues while setting the all time record and 4th highest point total of all time in the league during those seasons. Thats hard to top
I said this to my cousin a day or 2 ago. I think I said “clear best EPL team ever” if you repeated in UCL on top of the league/record. which also reminds me DCBUCK come check out the soccer board. We have fun here
I forget this board exists. Hello fellow reds. Quite the season we’re having. Any other Liverpool supporters from columbus on here?
