    IMO not sure Lanzini needs being singled out for the 1st half there...IMO he was no better or worse than most..

    I’m just not sure what he’s done, at all? Haller has been anonymous, but also that’s expected when the team don’t get out of their half. Lanzini has been on the ball a fair amount and offered nothing.

    Noble & Snodgrass have had a poor half too

    I just don’t get that that was not ruled handball by Firmino in the build up. It hits his arm, & you can’t score a goal from handball, & it leads to a penalty.
  • alderzalderz
    I thought it was debatable that it hit his hand. Didn’t seem conclusive imo
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    It didn’t lead directly to a goal and it’s Liverpool.
  • alderzalderz
    half chance for Lanzini on the penalty spot. Scuffed
  • alderzalderz
    We get into promoting positions and then go back and back and back. And then get hit on a counter from our own corner.

    DAMAGE CONTROL NOW
  • LukerzLukerz
    How many times do we concede a goal from our own corner. Been doing it for years. Farcical.

    That’s 2 so it really is game over. Let’s hope they ease off now to keep it below 4.

    School boy error. Don’t let the ball bounce!

    we had a shot on target
  • alderzalderz
    To be fair to Lanzini he absolutely bust a gut to try and get back there

    Big chance for Ogbonna
  • HamstewHamstew
    Sounds like we are just bottling chances

    Lanzini=scapegoat IMO, not his preffered position, but regardless come on Fornals.
  • alderzalderz
    Lanzini has been rubbish, it’s not about him being a scapegoat he is just clearly massively out of form. I can’t understand how he starts ahead of Fornals, but with 20 minutes ago I’m not sure why we’re staying with 5 at the back
  • AdamAdam
    I felt bad for Lanzini when he came off, with those ironic cheers. Even though I agree with the substitution.
  • alderzalderz
    Rice should have scored
  • jay_in_cptjay_in_cpt
    IMO lanzini was no worse than others, he played in a position that isn't his choice, Moyes a manager for how long sees fit to play him before Foranls, good enough for me.
  • jay_in_cptjay_in_cpt
    Fornals wasteful there :whistle:
  • YeoldhammerYeoldhammer
    never gonna score :(
  • alderzalderz
    I’m not sure what Lanzini has done to impress you so much, jay, but I’m glad someone other than Moyes can see something worthwhile in his performances
  • jay_in_cptjay_in_cpt
    Alderz, thanks for ur comment, I just feel there are many players who are not on top form, Haller, Noble, Snodgrass, but to make it just about Lanzini, IMO no chance.
  • LukerzLukerz
    Haller doesn’t do enough for me
  • alderzalderz
    Not seen a single comment that Lanzini is the only issue? As I said at halftime, Noble and Snodgrass were poor, Haller isolated.

    Lanzini is out of form, my saying so isn’t making him a scapegoat.
  • jay_in_cptjay_in_cpt
    And let's be real Fornals has been perhaps even more useless than Lanzini since coming on.

    Haller only sees a teammate at half time
  • alderzalderz
    He’s not done a lot, no. But again, that doesn’t mean Lanzini is playing well. Both things are true, IMO.

    My feeling is that, on recent form, Fornals is more deserving of a start, as Lanzini needs to be taken out of the firing line for a minute.

    Alderz, if not u, many choose to slate Lanzini, if he'd just did what Fornals did with that effort, u can only imagine...just my opinion tho Alderz.
