What did we see yesterday from #LFC?

So Elliott didn't even make the match day squad (again). Cool, cool.

What are the CBs thinking?
November 30, 2025 at 5:52 PM
At least they'll have enough time to treat the injury now
November 30, 2025 at 5:10 PM
Well, on the plus side, the idea was good and something we can build on, even if some of the selections within that system were head scratchers. On the negative side, second half adjustments 😬

& West Ham are truly awful

This kind of touchline instruction breeds a fragile mentality imho

We are seriously sitting off against (checks notes) West Ham
November 30, 2025 at 3:44 PM
I just don't get it
November 30, 2025 at 3:38 PM
Not sure this second-half shift to play without a RW has done us any favors tbh

Macca out of position again

First half analysis:
* idea made sense
* honest double pivot the key
* absolute stubbornness to strand Dom at RW
* Isak 😞
November 30, 2025 at 2:53 PM
In all seriousness, and I know who we're playing, but look past the square pegs in round holes: this is a system that can work.

If it were Dom and Macca in the honest double pivot
If it were an attacking RB
If it were Ekitike (or Actual Isak)

This can work.

This setup cries out for Frimpong

Is it too early to sub Chiesa for Grav?

Good things when this #7 gets on the ball. Maybe we should try to give it to him. Like a lot. Almost focus on it.
November 30, 2025 at 2:23 PM
Isak 😞
November 30, 2025 at 2:22 PM
That West Ham transition allowed because Macca stepped out from the double pivot
Looks like a more honest double pivot behind Wirtz. That could be ... good.
November 30, 2025 at 2:20 PM
Can't make an incisive pass in the opening 10 minutes. If the idea is to have Wirtz do this, we can't find a pass to him either.
November 30, 2025 at 2:17 PM
But taking some very narrow positions 🤔

Dom RW

Adam Wharton obviously can do two of the most important CM jobs -- move the ball forward, esp by passing, and stop the ball defensively -- but Palace really don't move the ball through him in buildup and I don't have a read on where he can do volume cm passing, and he rarely shows for the ball early
