If we can't get Sancho, and you stingy bastards won't sell us Saka, I would totally be up for him being the guy we go for to add on our wings next season. Regarding the earlier talk about Martial: I feel for him because he spent a lot of time working on being in a position that's never been natural for him, at CF, and it's now started to impact on his games back in his old position. But he was always gonna be the front-three member most vulnerable to squad improvements and at this point we need to find a younger-than-Cavani but still complete true 9 and at that point Martial should probably leave for his career. He'll do well somewhere else, but he's not it for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow. Jesse Lingard is still a promising youngster ( Though with Rashford, Martial and Greenwood, you've got a few! I Neto is defo a class above Greenwood and Martial though, I think) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's starting more recently to figure out how to use his instincts and talents to do more than just drift until an opportunity to shoot comes, so if he can keep building on that he'll be a menace next season. Martial is what he is at this stage. He'll probably end up going to Italy, do quite well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a bit amazed we scored five, but - to be fair - both defenses seemed to have made a pact not to really bother tonight. Does it count if the 5th goal is in extra time? I watched the game due to the scoreline. Crazy match. I do feel that Tottenham was a bit unlucky; if the penalty was a penalty I'm not sure if the accidental fowl later shouldn't have been one for Spurs. On 2/14/2021 at 3:17 AM, Rorshach said: Point of it is simple: he's best placed to make a clearance. Let him alone, he can belt it wherever. Whereas Kabak needs time to get it under control and then play it. Allison calls, he's the least risky option. So, if he calls (needs to call), it's his ball. Is there any evidence that Alison called? On 2/14/2021 at 3:31 AM, ljkeane said: I don't accept the premise. Kabak wasn't well placed the clear the ball, he was facing his own goal, struggling to pick the ball up and, you know, failed to actually clear the ball when he carried on trying to do it. On top of that Liverpool very rarely clear the ball, they bought a very expensive ball playing sweeper 'keeper so they don't have to. They usually either leave it for Alisson or play it back to him. He failed to clear the ball because Alison got in his way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is terrible club management. I'm pretty sure that was similar last year. Actually, no, the year when they started terribly and Hodgson was brought in. Very weird system.

A Horse Named Stranger Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 And Rose has confirmed he will take over at Dortmund next season. Gonna be interesting who will succeed him at Gladbach. Names that have been linked are: Jesse Marsch (Salzburg), Florian Kohfeldt (Bremen), Streich (Freiburg), and ten Hag (Ajax). ten Hag and Gladbach have both denied rumours about being in contact already, Marsch has signalled an interest in the position, Kohfeldt has not commented on anything. As for Streich, I don't see him leaving Freiburg. He has been at the club for 25 years or so, and 10 (?) of those as manager. So it's really hard to imagine him being anywhere else. FWIW, I think it will be Marsch. Kicker (print) also had an interview with Nagelsmann before the CL clash with Klopp (actually Leipzig Liverpool, bu who cares). He was also asked about his take on Liverpool's current problems. He thinks it's various factors at play. Mainly the injuries and fatigue in combination with Covid. I'll paraphrase it a bit. While everybody in the football biz is extremely lucky, that they are still able to travel and play, it still has had an impact on footballers. There's just very little things to provide a distraction from football, and that's draining. As a result you can lose a bit of focus, and when you are then faced with opponents who are super motivated [against one of the best teams in the world] and play with 120%, it can happen that you lose games with 95%. He went on to say, that almost all of hte big clubs are suffering to various degrees this season. He named Paris, Real and Barca and Dortmund I think. The only bigger teams that had played more or less consistent [in Nagelsmann's opinion] this season were City, Bayern and to some degree United. He also mentioned that Leipzig were also suffering to some degree, but like Bayern they managed to get thru it somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On (2), it was the one in the last 10 minutes where a forward's feet were clipped in the Everton box. Not much in it, clearly accidental, but hard to argue it was vastly different to the actual penalty. And I agree, accidents count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ljkeane Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 This is reminding me of when we played Hoffenheim. The problem is we’re quite a lot less clinical about taking chances at the moment than we were then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
