Leicester City 0-4 Liverpool: In game and Post Match discussion

these lads like Naby rely on touch and tempo you can only get that by playing games ...what a bonus to have him in the team now.
The way we passed the ball around last night was exceptional the Leicester players looked depressed as they couldn't get anywhere near us. Happy Days

The passing was great I agree, but also the work OFF the ball. We tracked and pressed and covered and I can count on one one hand over 90 minutes the times a previously-dangerous Leicester team even threatened to threaten our goal.

Great all-around performance and while some of your were saying we haven't gone all out yet - I think last night was close....and it was awesome.

On another note: What happened to Leicester?

Liverpool happened to Leicester.

How f**king good was that! Absolutely battered the second best team in the league, without them getting a sniff. We’re on a different planet!

Every single player put in a proper shift. It can’t get better than this, can it?

Mastermind Klopp is going to take this team to astronomical levels and a ram that trophy cabinet full of even more trophies.

Wow!

I am struggling to think when i last saw such a one sided game against a fellow contender? That was absolutely brutal to watch, we undoubtedly suffocated them from start to finish. It was like watching a slaughter. I almost felt sympathy towards Rodgers (not).

Every single player was phenomenal. It is an absolute joy to witness the building of this empire, long may it continue.

And it was an away day.

I don't know if that is an original Rod, but I LOVE the evolution idea.

Yep, original but it's just what I see. The players who have been here since Klopp joined us have just learned to use the tools, that they already had in their armoury, better and Klopp has filled in the squad around them. Klopp has instilled the belief and the confidence in the players and has been paid back by, quite possibly, the best Liverpool team I have ever witnessed.

And our home is now a fortress, whilst our players can now touch the 'This Is Anfield' sign, I swear the opposition see 'Abandon hope all ye who enter here'.

Much more interesting and accurate than Martin Tyler.

Yeh agree they got schooled!

Along with all of this I think Jürgen pays very close attention to the mentality/personality/attitude whatever you call it for potential transfers in. He demands a total commitment from players to what is a very exhausting style of play. You have to be fit, but also willling to do what it takes to be ready to fit into this system. Not every modern player is, but Jürgen takes care about who we sign.

In trying to prove how smart he is (again) BR shot his team in the foot.

It looked very much like he was trying to copy Guardiola's FB system of splitting CB's, then pushing the FB's inside to create an overload on us in midfield, along with Ndidi, with the wide players nullifying our FB threat.

Unfortunately, it seems his CB's didn't get the message (and why would they when one of them is Jonny "I am gesticulating madly for an open player" Evans), so what we had instead, was F***ing acres of room on their left to exploit.
Our front 3 had a lot to do with that, and it was because Ndidi failed to pick up Firmino as he should have done that it could happen.

His tactics, in short, were a F***ing mess, and he either lacks the players to implement them, or his message gets lost in the rustle of players named in envelopes.

I usually have a lot of time for BR, but his gobbing off about him setting this up for Klopp, and that he bought Firmino annoyed the F**k out of me.
Until he learns some humility, Leicester will be his level, and that level will decline to mid-table.

Such a good game,i mean F***ing hell,got nowt else,talked to a lad from Tyrone and crackers were cracked, beers were drunk.

Maybe a little of both. Pearce reports today that Liverpool's pregame analysis pegged Maddison as tending to drift to the inside and leave Chilwel exposed, with the team encouraged to switch the ball wide right as often as possible.

You'd think that would be the very thing a team, every team, would guard against. Something like, "If someone else can beat us OK, but don't let Alexander-Arnold beat us."

Yet he tries to take credit for Suarez and Gerrard combo when he bought neither.  Stevie G does what Stevie G does, and coach Suarez ? Not a chance. Suarez is in instinctive player who plays his own game.
Even now! If Rogers was that good a coach, with what he had running riot up top why the F**k couldn’t be sort the defence out 🤷🏼‍♂️
Won s few games at Swansea, brought mediocre players with him to Anfield, won at Celtic cos they are a div 1 side playing pub teams.
The fella is totally over rated and will only take Leicester backwards when they go off the boil and get tired of the same old !

Wouldn't trust him as far as I could throw him.

He always ties it back to him, no matter what he's talking about. Chalk and cheese from Jürgen who wants to deflect and big others up.

Just watching the game yet again waiting for Trents goal now worth the wait. Brendan is all about Brendan he is a legend in his own lunchtime and is always quick to grab any credit. Jürgen however always puts the credit back to his "boys"
its been a really great Christmas

Brenton always was a flat track bully. His record against teams around and above him has always been sketchy.

Doing a good job with Leicester, but it's become clear his side cannot lay a glove on ourselves and City.

Klopp can't have a pop at Rodgers...he's renting a house from him..."I'm coming round after the game to see how many cups you've broken"

Why doesn't he just buy the/a house?? I really don't understand that, if for no other reason it would be a good investment and would make him feel even more settled

Rodgers played right into our hands, just as he done to other teams with us. The biggest mistake he made was playing Maddison out on the left because it instantly took away their most prolific and main route through to Vardy, whilst also putting more defensive duties on Maddison, a player who isn’t at all defensive. Then playing a DM in Ndidi was the next biggest mistake because we don’t play through the middle much, we attack out wide, it was another way to create even more space for Trent and Robbo. Packing out the middle of the pitch is for the likes of Spurs, not us and City, that’s why they have spent the last 2 games getting ruined out wide. We had this game won the second Rodgers confirmed his line up.

It’s not BR’s house any more, the club bought it off him and gave it to Klopp.

So does the club own it or was it an extra incentive/bonus to renew the contract, nice move either way.
