Mo look man I know you're hungry but that was meant to be put on a plate for Flo
Everything looks better when you're up 5-1 but hey there, Liverpool press. I've missed you, buddy.
AND JUST LIKE THAT CODY MAKES IT 4-1
Frankfurt appear to have decided they can't keep up and can't come back and, you know, thanks a bunch for taking on that mindset, lads.
This has turned into a training drill and after how the last four matches have gone buddy I am here for it.
Watching Andy Robertson actually put crosses from left back is both wonderful to see and slightly annoying given we know that Kerkez should be fully capable of playing like that as he was doing it last season with Bournemouth.
(I'm not being hyper-critical here this is fine we're scoring goals and winning I'll 100% take it I'd just expect to be up against a better defensive structure with basically any Premier League opponent)
Liverpool are bad at defending but Eintracht Frankfurt are much, much worse. 3-1 at the half.
If that was against us we would be screaming about letting one of our two big boys charge through the middle of the box entirely unmarked on a corner. We may not be able to defend but goodness was that horrible marking from Frankfurt.
WHO CARES THAT WE STILL CAN'T DEFEND IBOU WITH THE THIRD
Was a little afraid they were gonna try to find a way to rule that out due to Robbo getting all up in the keeper's business.
Seriously, though, bombing down the centre-left channel to get on the end of a through-ball before beating the defence for pace and slotting home? That's giving so much Fernando Torres. Can we make the Torres song work for him?
Hugo Ekitike is love, Hugo Ekitike is life.
Kinda annoyed at both our CMs vacating/chasing out of the middle there (I dunno one of y'all should maybe think a little bit like a DM maybe?) but it didn't really have anything to do with the chance Frankfurt got in the end so hey I guess we're just cursed 🤷‍♂️
At least we lasted more than 15 minutes before conceding this time, I guess.
...and Frimpong's just done his hamstring so it goes.
Given how isolated/far from goal Salah's been this season kinda think this basic bitch 4-4-2 with him as one of the strikers would suit him better like as weird as it feels maybe this getting a run as our base formation would make sense?
I guess that's one way to try to fix things if Slot feels it's Trent's passing range in the buildup we're missing—just have Wirtz in those areas pinging balls (but freed up of most of the defensive stuff)
Good chance. Hell of a pass from Wirtz to start that. Basically a Trent ball from the same kind of areas.
If possible I would like for today to be a day where I enjoy watching Liverpool play football, thanks.
