Udinese 0-1 Liverpool: In game and Post Match Qualification chat

yes you did!

Im going to go against what most think here: i dont think Hendo had a good game. He lost possesion regularly, and overall i think his goal was the only highlight of his performance. I think Enrique was excellent, both central defenders had good match, and Johnson was quite poor.

SHelvey was his usual self, running a lot, and using his strenght, distributing the ball quite well. Joe won us many duels, but his ball distribution was below par today, and most of his accurate passes were safe passes.

Stuart was average, and seems demotivated.

Suso was called "SUSTO" by the spanish commentator,  . He did look like that to be honest. Dont think he is ready to start right now to be honest, but there is potential. Too "lightweight".

Suarez was all over the field, from left to right, and fought every ball. He should have buried one, where he dribbled twice inside the box, but aside from that, i dont think he missed any clear chances. He set up his mates many times, but none where scored. He should stop with his arm waiving.

MOTM was Enrique for me.

PS that was really a secopnd string Udinese, and i dont think we played as well as some seem to think.

Think that's very fair, only disagree on Johnson thought he was excellent considering he was given no support by Suso the entire game and was left isolated time and again. Wasn't much different with Sterling introduced, apart from that think you are spot on Quico

Absolutely ditto, shithouse. Gave it to Carra.

Me too. Thought Carra was boss today.

Voted for Johnson.

Good win  ... confidence boost and not prepared to knock any player.
Top of a European Group Table. From small acorns ... and all of that.

Well done lads.


Great watching Skrtel with his arm round Luis !

Was Allen's passing as bad as people are making out? His stats were something like 90 of 96 passes complete?

@AnfieldIndex

Joe Allen completed 90/96 for #LFC vs Udinese (94%) He also won 4/5 tackles (80%) & made 6 interceptions.

His passing was woeful today, really looked as though he was colour blind with the confident through balls to the wrong shirts.

Utter bullshit

Not bad at all that's a very good contribution to a match.

Some people need to remember the successful contribution and not just highlight the negative.  Yes some were simple but Lucas also does the simple there is no point taking big risks giving away position if there is no option on.

Allen's passing was pretty good apart form a couple of poor ones.

Enrique MOTM for me.

Enrique for me too.

Christ Almighty, just had a glance at some of the teams we could draw, wouldn't of minded finishing runners-up now!

How good is Enrique. what a rise did not think it was in him! Leave him left wing buy a left back

Also, this might sound daft, but I think Allen actually stands out more when he misplaces a pass.. Because you're not really expecting him to do it. He picks the ball up in situation's where some of his other team mates wouldn't even dream of in order to get an attack going. I also thought he gave the ball away more than usual, but those stats are still pretty phenomenal. Still one of the best players on the pitch for me.

The draw for the last 32 will be very interesting.

Athletico Madrid, Napoli and Inter are just some of the names we could end up playing.

Might not be the CL, but getting those sides back at Anfield on a European night just sounds brilliant.

We're on our way to Amsterdam na na na!

Joe Allen was our MOTM tonight, him or Skrtel anyway, both put cracking shifts in and we're always prepared to get stuck in and break up their attacks.

Good finish by Hendo too!

Yes it does and the second leg would be at home because we won the group. Anfield would be rocking.

Don't fancy getting Atletico Madrid at all, I have the feeling Falcao could potentially rip into us with ease, especially the way he is destroying every other defence this season! Napoli of course have Cavani too that would cause us a lot of problems. Other than them 2 teams I'll happily take anyone.

p/s, sorry, U beat me to it.

Napoli.. Cavani

This is Anfield

Suprised Martin Skrtel was left out of the MotM poll.I thought he was the best player on the pitch by quite some distance.

Napoli.. Cavani

This is Anfield

Should of included their fans as well, especially those that were chased all round the place last time they played here!!

Going for Monchengladbach here, would be a great game with a boss atmosphere due to the close ties between the two of us

 

Enrique just put up on Twitter a photo of the team plane showing that the engine was busted, followed by "we're staying in Italy "
