Sly Posted 30 December 2022 Share Posted 30 December 2022 Ward makes an early enough call for that. Either Faes is erratic and lacks defensive know how, or they have no confidence in the goalkeeper. Im beginning to think it’s both. This isn’t the first time he’s not looked great. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soyuncu wouldn’t get rinsed (with a 2/3 yard head start) by Nunez like he did in that half. I hope that leadership quality in Faes means he’s mentally a lot stronger than Cags though. 🤞🏻 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faes couldn’t score that first one 99 times out of hundred. I don’t know why he tried to hook it, but it was extremely bad luck. Sometimes it goes your way, sometimes it don’t Well its absolutely flown at him off the post and he's got to assume a Liverpool player is behind him for a tap in. Both instances hes in the right to try and clear the ball. Just one of them mad things you see 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunbury Fox Posted 30 December 2022 Share Posted 30 December 2022 I like Faes a lot but he is basically Cags with curlier hair - same lack of composure under pressure and same rashness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolhandfox Posted 30 December 2022 Share Posted 30 December 2022 Honestly good half other then a few mad moments, Liverpool didn't look overly dangerous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because of his speed we were much better with the high press and quicker on the counter against their back three. They’ll adjust that now they’re ahead. I'm afraid Vardy won't cut it any more, he's not going to be the player he was and we can't keep shoving him or whoever up alone and hoping they'll do what he did 5 or 6 years ago. If we're not convinced on Kel and Daka is crocked where do we go? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nod.E Posted 30 December 2022 Share Posted 30 December 2022 Faes deserves some flack, clearly too panicked. The same mental deficiencies to blame, too, though. Could tell we were bracing ourselves to crawl over the line to half time. All players turning their back on the ball, panicking with the ball at their feet. So frustrating because for a huge chunk of that half we were brilliant. If only we could find the bottle to keep doing it for 90 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haywood_6 Posted 30 December 2022 Share Posted 30 December 2022 Such a shame. Faes has been brilliant since he signed as well. He's got to leave the first one though. Ward has shouted for it. We've outplayed Liverpool all game, but this could probably be any score now. They've done nothing to deserve this lead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxes_rule1978 Posted 30 December 2022 Share Posted 30 December 2022 You make mistakes like that when confidence isn’t there, clearly panicked on both. Needs to be sharper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolhandfox Posted 30 December 2022 Share Posted 30 December 2022 (edited) First one is the worse, keeper had it covered. Second one is just one of those things. Edited 30 December 2022 by coolhandfox 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helped Nunez make his mind up. You are aware that Nunez missed? A professional footballer, who gets paid tens of thousands of pounds a week, has shanked two 'clearances' so badly, it makes me feel better about my golf game.

The best and fittest teams press for 70+ minutes. It’s what Klopp built his team on initially. The gengen press style he adapted is something that we struggle with, however it’s what the best teams now place, with a sprinkle of that tikky taka stuff.

Anyone else on the planet would see by now this group can't do it so why he makes them for the last 15 of ever half for no reason even when we play the slow dull possession football. It's beyond baffling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fazzyfox Posted 30 December 2022 Share Posted 30 December 2022 The second one he has to do something and very quickly and is running towards his goal at pace but the composure and technique were shambolic. The first is unforgivable, ignoring your team mates call. What we have learned tonight is that he loses composure when defending a yard or less from his goal line so let’s try and avoid those last ditch situations as much as we can such as closing down Alexander-Arnold before he crosses. If we continue defending from a yard out we will continue cracking under pressure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy who managed Valencia so expertly? I stand by my point, that shout was too late. On the replay you can actually tell how obviously it should have been Ward's ball. Should have made the shout almost immediately after it left Trent's foot. Faes comes in for criticism of course, but I stand by my point. An established, confidence-inspiring goalkeeper between the sticks doesn't allow that to happen. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
