WE could do with a fucking win here, Reds.
Fuck’s sake.
I mean, the only good thing is that Wembley is a shit hole. Goals change games though, and when you are struggling you can’t give the fucking thing away.
Adrian: 5
Mad fucker, this fella. Two great saves followed by a flap into the bottom corner. I mean, honest to god. He would have been better putting his hands on his head and letting it twat him in the balls. One of them where it is like a black hole, could stop a motorbike.
Can’t do anything with the second. But for fuck’s sake, you can’t be conceding goals like that in games like this and expect to fucking win.
Williams: 6
Great defending for the cross that Virgil gets a little nick on at 1-0. With a bit more composure could have had a couple of goals first half, where he does well in the main. Fell off a cliff on 70 though and looked absolutely fucking knackered.
Joey: 6
Does nothing really wrong at all, but then we concede two again which we could do without.
Virgil: 6
I mean both goals were nothing to do with him, and in the main he doesn’t really deserve to be on a side that concedes two.
Robbo: 6
Felt for him first half when he had Div being Div in front of him, and with no Gini he had an awful lot to do. Kept going second half and got in a few good positions, but couldn’t quite find the final ball.
Lallana: 6
Neat and tidy in a sort of me cleaning the kitchen kind of way. Like everything gets washed up, but then the sides are still a bit tacky, the cooker top is manky. Fucking food all over the floor. Decent, but not enough to impose himself on the game.
Fabinho: 6
Played well in patches, but had an awful lot to do in that first half. Wasn’t getting loads of help down the left-hand side and having to get dragged across. Shite for the first goal, but in fairness to him didn’t really look like he wanted it.
Hard playing Saturday to Tuesday but he was running in fucking syrup there last half an hour. Couldn’t get near Barkley and his fucking big neck for the second.
Jones: 6
Couldn’t get in it at all first half. It was a pace thing. Didn’t have a minute and left Fabinho a hell of a lot to do. That said, had a great start to the second half, picking it up here and there, getting The Reds playing, but then mistakes change games.
You can’t be giving the ball away there with your back to goal when they are poised to be five on one. One of them, init. Young players need to learn and the best way to learn is to make mistakes. Suck it up.
Minamino: 6
Looks neat and tidy and a threat when he gets on the ball but just looks like he can’t just get into it enough. Poor touch in the run up to the 15 expected goals in a minute and a half. Drifted out of it second half but then so did The Reds.
Sadio: 6
On another day could have had a couple of goals. Should probably do better with the one first half. Unlucky with a couple of bobbles that go away from him at inopportune moments. Would quite like him to start banging them in every two fucking minutes again.
Div: 5
A mad mixture of industry, moments and a massive dollop of shite. Feels like he might be getting towards the end of his useful life at The Reds which is a shame, but I’d fucking love an absolute banger to come on with 20 to go.
SUBS
Milner:
Belter yellow. One of the best. Did well and he has been missed.
Mo:
Seemed odd to bring him on with 10 to go and not 20.
Firmino:
Ran round like a Jack Russell on the beach but couldn’t get in it. Shape was shite at that point, mind.
Very generous giving most of them 6s
Glad to see you back Jonno! Your absence precisely coincided with our poor run of form.
Hopefully this bodes well for future games. For all we know Klopp might have been using your ratings for his team selections.
I know I have been left bereft without the ratings to comfort me over the last two weeks.
Love these ratings usually, but a good few of those lads should be a lot lower than a 6. Our midfield all lost the battle and were shite. That includes Jones, who was anonymous. Lallana poor and I’m one of his biggest fans. Fabinho looks absolutely Corona’d out of it – a pale shadow of the player he was pre-injury and deserves to be dropped frankly. He’s been brutal and appears to be getting worse, not better.
The rest of the team oscillated between totally mediocre (first 55 mins) and utter shite (the last 35). Our centre backs can’t be absolved of blame either – teams are getting in for fun against us with simple balls over the top the last few games. What the fuck has happened to our line?
Taki is a lightweight. Can’t cope with the physicality of PL. Don’t see right now how he will help us in the future.
How the fuck did you give a 6 to Llana he’s got to be the worst player in the whole squad, not fit, too lightweight, doesn’t get involved enough. Sooner he’s gone the better. Won’t be missed.. Didn’t deserve to go through overall but it is what it is, bigger things to come.
How does Minamino got his 6? I didn’t even notice he was still on the pitch second half. As it stands, I havent’ seen much of the player who almost singled handed destoyed us with Salzburg, to be honest…
On a positive note … Williams looks like he has great potential.
Let’s take this opportunity to absolutely tear apart the players. What more could be expected of a supporter?
Truth is they needed to win it more than we did – same for all three defeat. The manager needs a rap for the incoherence of the team selected. No goals in the front six, except for Sadio. Div has to be central, Mane in his proper position, Milner needs to start, Mo too. Unless the boss wants to lose this… He hates the cup.
At this point, I’d just like to see a goal again. Let’s start from there.
Did you actually watch this game, the ratings are just odd
Paul Stewart… The Paul Stewart that we signed for what in today’s market would be over £100m???
See the moaning and slagging off has commenced again. Give it a fucking break.
Anyways good that TAW Website is back, especially the write-ups and Jonno doing what he does best.
Next up Bournemouth where we can get back to winning ways.
