Re: Liverpool 2018/19 season
I don't think so oooh,that team last season would not drop points like you guys are doing in CL.Your team is likely heading to Europa and you are talking about a team that if not for Ramos dirty play could have been Euro champs.txj wrote:The team is miles ahead of last year..kajifu wrote:How come Liverpool not as good as last season but picking up more point's?Another test for you guys is tuesday a must win against Napoli,i see you guys heading to Europa ...
Your defense improved a bit but last season this team out played City.Please Oga txj abeg explain me why this team is miles better.I am glad to learn something I don't know.thanks

A good team is a team with balance. Balance between offense and defence. Last year the team was heavily skewed towards offense. What is more, on the offense, they needed a heavy dose of high pressing to be able to launch the attack. In otherwords, they could only be effective playing one way.
This year is quite different. They can win in multiple ways, including thru high pressing. They are able to create chances against low-block teams, while still retaining the counterattcking qualities from last season.
The only thing from last season they are currently missing is the ability to counter from midfield as a result of the injury to Ox, and Naby yet to be fully integrated.
The losses on the road in the CL is probably not the best measure of the team. I would also disagree with ur characterization of the defence. It has improved greatly...

Liverpool, European Champions 2005.
We watched this very boring video, 500 times, of Sacchi doing defensive drills, using sticks and without the ball, with Maldini, Baresi and Albertini. We used to think before then that if the other players are better, you have to lose. After that we learned anything is possible – you can beat better teams by using tactics." Jurgen Klopp

Re: Liverpool 2018/19 season
Agree with everything especially the defensive aspect plus your new goalie who has already won Liverpool many points in the league this season. That said, my expectation is that Klopp should look to start fast early on (first 20 mins) in search for an early goal especially backed by the 12th man at Anefield.txj wrote:kajifu wrote:I don't think so oooh,that team last season would not drop points like you guys are doing in CL.Your team is likely heading to Europa and you are talking about a team that if not for Ramos dirty play could have been Euro champs.txj wrote:The team is miles ahead of last year..kajifu wrote:How come Liverpool not as good as last season but picking up more point's?Another test for you guys is tuesday a must win against Napoli,i see you guys heading to Europa ...

We have been brainwashed by the Premier League that it's the best in the world. Nonsense. It's the best brand

He says that we are currently "brainwashed" into believing that the Premier League is the best competition in the world, and that we are now a long way off dominating the Champions League again.
Gary Neville: Mirror: 12/23/14
I think Spain’s by far the best league.

Re: Liverpool 2018/19 season
Thanks for the free lecture,i just notice that Liverpool dont panic if its not going their way,they are a tough side.I also think your keeper this year is playing a big part to keep the defence better.Kai OX injury is the reason also for missing out on CL trophy.OX is a big miss but you guys have deep benchtxj wrote:kajifu wrote:I don't think so oooh,that team last season would not drop points like you guys are doing in CL.Your team is likely heading to Europa and you are talking about a team that if not for Ramos dirty play could have been Euro champs.txj wrote:The team is miles ahead of last year..kajifu wrote:How come Liverpool not as good as last season but picking up more point's?Another test for you guys is tuesday a must win against Napoli,i see you guys heading to Europa ...

Re: Liverpool 2018/19 season
Alisson don join De Winch as keepers that earn you three points.
Liverpool must be thankful the days of pipes like Mignolet and his understudy are long gone.

Re: Liverpool 2018/19 season
Wow, just seen the game. Salah was massive. Mane! Men all those chances. He remains vital to the team though. And Allison! What a keeper.
This was good game from us. Better finishing 4-0 easy

Re: Liverpool 2018/19 season
To be honest i dont really think the save was anything special. Mignolet has made countless saves much better than that.metalalloy wrote:Alisson don join De Winch as keepers that earn you three points.

What Alisson brings to the team is Confidence. Confidence and knowledge that he will do the simple things very well, wont make many stupid Mistakes and will also come up with the odd stupendous save. His calmness on the ball and excellent distribution are also great assets.
