    0-0 HT......hmmmm a bit to ponder on. Not great but it's all level so not too bad.

    Liverpool have had a lot of ball, but they haven’t looked dangerous yet, IMO. I’m sure they will create a chance or two in the second half, so we need to do more with the ball, but this feels like a stalemate so far

    Yes we are defending well
  • DeanscaleshammerDeanscaleshammer
    Feel we have defended well. They have dominated possession and moved the back quickly. Their midfield is bossing it at the moment.

    Not sure what the team talk is going to be. I think Moyes will probably be happy with this. Need to get at Liverpool more ask some questions. I really feel like this is going to be a 1-0 penalty to someone somewhere...

    Happy with that

    Liverpool dominating the ball as you'd guess, but not creating much

    Need a bit more composure going forward

    Nat Phillips was outstanding in our game last time against them, and he just seems well suited to dealing with is as he's been strong again today....matching Antonio well

    Bowen/Coufal not getting any joy on the right....Benrahma/Fornals/Cresswell on the left looks our best avenue

    Would take a point here

    Giving them far to much respect ,

    We are playing deep for obvious reasons. However, we must press more if we are to get anything from this game.

    Well we are getting a point as it stands, unless Liverpool really turn the screw i don't see why we won't get "anything" the way ots going

    Ended the half a bit better, but Liverpool definitely had the better of the half without looking particularly threatening. Stupid to wait half an hour for a corner, and then play it short, and a couple of dreadful passes from Antonio which we can ill afford with the limited amount of possession we've had. Also, as others said, how on earth wasn't Thiago booked? So, so typical, makes me worry even more than usual about them winning a soft penalty.

    I think we’ve not come up against anyone with such a pack centre midfield this season. Playing against the diamond has meant that Rice and Soucek haven’t been able to dominate, like they do against a lot of opponents
  • thornburyironthornburyiron
    We need to stop giving the ball away when we do get it.
  • alderzalderz
    Souness: I’m not sure what origi brings to the table, but they’ll probably keep him on because of his height and ability to defend set pieces.

    What have the Romans ever done for us?
  • alderzalderz
    Getting both CMs booked in the first 4 minutes of the half is not great
  • alderzalderz
    Good defending from Cresswell for that Salah chance
  • yoyoyoyo
    Rice and Soucek both on a yellow card. They'll have to treat carefully
  • thornburyironthornburyiron
    Our passing is abysmal.
  • YeoldhammerYeoldhammer
    Second half very much like the First half all one way traffic with Liverpool.
  • thornburyironthornburyiron
    Good chance for Antonio which he misses.
  • thornburyironthornburyiron
    Coming all game. Just stand and watch him.

    BBC commentary heavily biased to Liverpool. When we tackle them, they are ‘hacked down’. We they tackle us, it’s fair.
  • LukerzLukerz
    That is awful from Cresswell
  • alderzalderz
    That was a tricky one, but in this game it’s a big chance
  • PrestonHammerPrestonHammer
    Woeful
  • Jorderz_Moyes_will_be_MoyesJorderz_Moyes_will_be_Moyes
    We've been very passive and invited that, really.
  • alderzalderz
    Yeah that’s not good defending
  • WHU_Champo_league_in_7_yearsWHU_Champo_league_in_7_years
    Poor from Cresswell, but stopping Salah isn't easy

    Have not started this half well at all
  • yoyoyoyo
    Cresswell shows Salah inside onto his left foot, so he obliges and smacks it in. Poor body shape from Cresswell
  • alderzalderz
    Gonna have to come out at them a bit now

    Got to hit the target. We really do need another option up front.
