Liverpool 4-1 Leicester City: In game and Post Match discussion

 

Anfield was looking much changed on Saturday as the new Main Stand opened for the first time in Liverpool's 4-1 victory over Leicester City – and eagle-eyed supporters also spotted another, more subtle difference…

The netting on the goals at the stadium were white in colour, changing from the red ones that had previously been in use since August 2012.

The more observant among you will have noticed the red nets were still in place as recently as Thursday night when the first team held a training session at Anfield.

However, following the workout, Jürgen Klopp and his backroom team asked ground staff to change them from red to white in order to make them more visible in the players’ peripheral vision - hopefully leading to more goals being scored by the home side.

With the majority of fans behind both goals wearing red, it was felt the previous coloured netting wasn’t as striking to the eye as white while in the thick of the action on the pitch.

Indeed, Liverpool last changed from red to white netting in 1995 for a similar reason when members of Roy Evans’ side spoke of the difficulty in distinguishing them in front of the backdrop of the Kop.

The white nets will remain in place at Anfield for the rest of the 2016-17 season - and hopefully the four goals scored against the current Premier League champions on Saturday is a sign of things to come...

There we go then . Simples .  Makes sense .

Good article showing how we use a counter press trap.

In Leicester's half when we lose the ball  Liverpool players immediately take up  Leicester players by marking ....except for leaving one Leicester player unmarked.

When Leicester play the ball to him ..... its a trap..... with our players already moving to take the ball back and have our pack in an advanced position in their half.

Poetry in motion.

Jürgen setting pressing traps?  Never heard anything so ridiculous in my life Skip 

how good are we?. We battered Leicester 4-1 and they battered Bruge 3=0 We slaughtered Barca at Wembley and they hammered Celtic 7=0. Leicester simply could not handle the intensity of our game.

Burnley could.

Burnley could.

That's because we were lazy overconfident, looked down on Burnley and took them lightly.

Our players showed that they are capable of cranking it up if they really want to.

This isn't small details, this is ridiculous. So if we play at e.g. Spurs, with white nets, we hit blanks?

Red nets are part of the furniture here. Just hit the target, and let the ball do the rest.
