Very unlucky tonight should have had a draw

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Fri Feb 19, 2021 10:13 pm  

Bamford and Harrison gave their England chances a boost tonight!!!
Roberts not good enough again and likes to showboat too much for me.
Similar to the first game against Wolves we deserved at least a draw.
Saying that Cooper and Costa should have scored and 2-1 Leeds would not have been a surprise.
Still need another 8 points and target achieved this year.

Definitely. can't believe they have managed to nab 4 points off us with two outrageous deflections. hey ho, it happened, we move on. Southampton on tuesday and a chance to bounce back quickly. its hard to get too pumped really for the games right now as we aint getting europe and we aint going down so its no more than seeing where we finish around the middle. i want to see how we look and compete with Koch, Llorente, Phillips and Rodrigo all back and in the same team as we haven't had that all season, then we will truly know where we are at.

thought Struijk played excellent again at centre back and is going to take some keeping out of the team, looks nailed on to take over from Cooper.

Said it all along about Sruijk even though some people were questioning his inclusion.
Might have saved us a few quid on Llorente had we stuck with him.
Next season i would look to move on Alioski, Roberts, Kiko, Hernandez although I would put him in the team now, Costa and for me Harrison which won`t go down well with some.
Llorente hopefully will come good but this might be another costly mistake like Costa was.
I would also take 20 million for Bamford which might be too bold a move I know so would probably keep him and try out some of the U23`s once relegation is off the cards.

Like Southampton are the only team in the league who have had a shorter turnaround than any other team.
Leeds have had the same but that doesn`t count.
Come on Marty your anti Leeds bile is getting weak mate.
Like your wife says must do better Marty.

Could do with a win tonight with Villa and West Ham to come. Both very difficult games.

Great 2nd half could have had 5 13pts clear looking good

Agree with that 5 or possibly 6.
Costa better than he has been for a while, Raphina second half pure class and some good saves by Messlier.
Harrison shocking again and subbed once again at half time.
Roberts yes he played one good ball but other than that rabbit in the headlights.
Bamford yet again for a CF has a terrible first touch but scores so he`s forgiven.
5 points more and safe.

Yep agree. Great result and much better second half. Thought Costa did really well when he came on. Llorente for his first full game in a long time was solid and unlucky not to score. Bamford great finish and should have had 2 or 3. Robert’s improving but needs to find an end product, great ball for Bamford goal though. Can we have a Raphinha for the left hand side too

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Tue Feb 23, 2021 10:29 pm  

Good win. One more win to safety for me. Though seeing as we don't do draws, we may need 2 to get to the magic 40 pts
