Next week is really important. Win and we can start to open a real gap

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Sat Oct 23, 2021 8:44 pm  

Raphinha will be out for a while. He was on crutches. Amazing Saiss didn't get sent off

Wonder if that penalty wouldve been given if it was at Wolves?

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Sun Oct 24, 2021 12:50 pm  

Raphina reporting nothing serious with his injury and will be back soon.
Maybe he was knackered trying to cover every blade of grass in that first half and wanted a rest

King Joffy. Looks a real talent. Reminds me of a young Rooney. A must win v Norwich next week. Don’t know what’s happened to Harrison, looks another one who’s confidence has gone. Crowd was amazing Saturday really got behind the lads.

Agree with all of that.
I would go with the following against Norwich :
Messlier
Llorente, Cooper, Struijk
Phillips
Shackleton, Summerville, Rodrigo, Dallas, James/Raphina if fit of course.
Gelhardt.

I would have Drameh, Cresswell, Klich, Forshaw, Bate, Greenwood, plus a GK on the bench.

Harrison, Roberts to watch from the comfort of their cinema lounge.

Yes that’s about what I’d go with. I do like Harrison and we need him on form but I know what you’re saying. Interesting to see team sheet b Arsenal tomorrow

Without wanting to read too much into last night, that second half was woeful. Taking Foreshaw off lost us control which was very surprising. Klich looks finished imo.. could understand protecting Llorente and Foreshaw but that side should have been good enough to play better than they did in the second half. They had no ability to move the ball from back to front. As soon as teams press us we look lost and unable to deal with it.

Move onto Sunday, which is the main focus no doubt and we did look good first half, that game though has just got a touch bigger because of the manner of the second half last night which is not helpful.

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Wed Oct 27, 2021 2:35 pm  

I understand that Sundays game is more important as several of my mates keep telling me.
But I still think that Arsenal were there for the taking especially first half.
Like you say taking off Forshaw and then Llorente prevented any chance of that happening.
Why Roberts keeps getting picked god only knows as he is absolutely gash.
James, Harrison, Klich once again not good enough.
Lets hope the aforementioned understand Sundays game is more important and start to deliver.

Thing is for me the players coming on should have been able to perform (Cooper and Klich in particular) but they didn’t which is worrying
