2016/17 Barclays Premier League Thread - General Discussion - FM24/25 Update

Weird game. Liverpool created fuck all until about the 90th minute. We played absolutely shit, but had chances we should have taken before the penalty.

Important we didn't get beat, but if we played anything like we could have we should have won today.

Extremely disappointing performance.

Think we were lucky to get a point in the end too.

Jurgen 'footballing purist' Klopp surely not resorting to hoofing it up to a centre-back?

Klopp criticises United for playing long balls to Fellaini to get an equaliser, a week later he chucks on Matip to play long balls to and loses to Swansea at home.

Lol.

Both teams in last week's match were playing long balls throughout the game. 20% of United's passes were long balls, and 19% of Liverpool's were.

We better take advantage this afternoon.

Hoofed it up about 3 times, Matip came on for about 4 minutes so you can fuck off

Anyway, we're probably going to lose today now thanks to that result so I'm sure the day won't be a total write off for Liverpool.

Well that was very poor. Passing has been downright dreadful at times, the midfield needs a right bollocking. Only enjoyment I got out of that half was Shawcross getting thrown about like a child by Ibra and moaning like he's being hard done by

Fellaini's started every game we've lost this season.

Fellaini starts today and we're losing.

Hmmmmmmmmmm.

Ibra seems weirdly gun shy, always trying to square it instead of getting a shot off.

Thank fuck for that. A really poor attacking display, great free kick from Rooney.

I'll happily take that, we were awful. Congrats to Wayne, did it in style.

No matter who plays, or what combination we put out, we're going to struggle as long as we're so fucking profligate.

As with the Liverpool game I think we probably shaded it, and possibly deserved more than a draw on the balance of play (not sure Stoke actually had a shot on target), but if you can't put the ball in the net you deserve everything you get, or don't get in this instance.

Pretty sure any side would do this if they're losing in the final five/ten minutes be it Real madrid, Liverpool, Stoke etc!

Yup, 25 shots and I don't remember us even troubling their keeper until the 94th minute

There is nothing wrong with it, Klopp criticising United for doing it was utterly bizarre.
