11/25 - Post-Turkey Match Thread - Don’t Sleep In

[SocrManiac]

I don’t have anything clever. Another early kickoff after the international break for Liverpool- at least they know how to prepare.

Silva’s little low bridge on Mac was cute. Just let him know he’s there.

 

[SocrManiac]

I’m also looking forward to Darwin missing a sitter that we’ll lament for the rest of the season. Always a good time.

 

[BigPapiLumber Co.]

Liverpool looking pretty shaky in the back.

 

[Mighty Joe Young]

That’s sucked - Allison having a very nervous game

 

[BigPapiLumber Co.]

Gerrard v. Chelsea. Allison v. City. Sigh.

 

[the1andonly3003]

It's GW13. We know whose favorite number 13 is. We might even get an announcement this weekend.

Haaland definitely has a bad reputation

 

[SocrManiac]

Ali not himself and Curtis Jones playing for reasons that Klopp probably doesn’t even understand.

 

[the1andonly3003]

Wonder how Drury gets to pick which match he calls for US vs UK. He is on the call for Sky right now. Perhaps the bosses view having him for the home UK crowd is more important than for the US.

We should be outraged

 

[SocrManiac]

On the bright side, Liverpool seem to have sniffed out an effective press on City’s build-up box. They’ve forced some aimless long balls from the back and collected possession a few times.

 

[SocrManiac]

Hit the goddamn ball.

 

[the1andonly3003]

well, Martin Tyler isn't calling this match. We can hear him Monday night...

 

[SocrManiac]

Any warm body in a vaguely red shirt for Jones, please.

 

[BigPapiLumber Co.]

I’m also looking forward to Darwin missing a sitter that we’ll lament for the rest of the season. Always a good time.

Or being offside on more than half the passes he receives. That's fun too!

 

[BigPapiLumber Co.]

Any warm body in a vaguely red shirt for Jones, please.

I live in DC and am Capitals fan. Early in his career, the coach told Tom Wilson the reason he wasn't getting more ice time was because he was "a possession black hole." That's Curtis Jones today.

 

[Mighty Joe Young]

Agree on Jones - he looks kind of bewildered at times and really overwhelmed.

Still … that Ali botched pass was huge. Salah was away for a breakaway if he connects - instead you get a popup plus defensive error and Haaland’s goal.

 

[the1andonly3003]

Isn't there a pretty big golf tournament on Golf channel this weekend? Guess Cara Banks and Anna Jackson aren't that important there

 

[Mighty Joe Young]

Really hoping to see Gravenbirch for Jones right away. The attack down the left has been non- existant.

 

[allstonite]

Gravenberch for Jones and Diaz for Jota for the 2nd half please

 

[the1andonly3003]

Jon Champion sounds so much happier now that he is no longer paired with Taylor Twellman

 

[Mighty Joe Young]

Gravenberch for Jones and Diaz for Jota for the 2nd half please

as expected

 

[allstonite]

Gravenberch for Jones and Diaz for Jota for the 2nd half please

A few minutes late but can I coach in the Premier League?

 

[SocrManiac]

I miss Robbo.

 

[SocrManiac]

Mac has put an on an absolute clinic on diving into his challenges. I hope none of my U9s are watching.

 

[SocrManiac]

City players are so used to bitching at the ref that they go hard after a ball that hits a leg. Jesus Christ.

 

[SocrManiac]

Alisson is having a howler. That’s a foul, but he needs to be stronger.

 

[allstonite]

“Alisson has to be stronger than that”

as he’s in midair and reaching up for the ball.

 

[SocrManiac]

“Alisson has to be stronger than that”

as he’s in midair and reaching up for the ball.

He’s allowed to protect himself. He should be feeling for contact with his left knee coming up and pointed out. That would allow him to adjust and be safe with his choice to catch or punch. He went up passively, which is unusual for him. There’s a confidence problem today. I know Brazil had a shitty break, he looks hungover from it.

[SocrManiac]

Really, Phil? Screaming in pain and rolling around?

 

[Mighty Joe Young]

AAAAAA!

 

[allstonite]

YES!

 

[fletcherpost]

Oh Trent.

 

[allstonite]

My favorite midfielder Trent

 

[SocrManiac]

Ederson is a garbage goalkeeper. He’s so far out of position for that shot he has no chance. He has to be on the hot seat.

 

[SocrManiac]

Time for the City Diving Competition.

 

[Mighty Joe Young]

Curious change - Endo for Mac ?

 

[SocrManiac]

Curious change - Endo for Mac ?

His tackling has been abysmal.

 

[fletcherpost]

Curious change - Endo for Mac ?

Maybe just fresh legs for the final push. Mac looks knackered.

 

[67YAZ]

No subs for City? What is Pep trying to prove?

 

[the1andonly3003]

OG Alisson!

 

[the1andonly3003]

Champion not apologizing for the foul language coming from the on field mics, unlike Arlo White!

 

[Mighty Joe Young]

Don’t blame Pep - wouldn’t have been shocked with 3

 

[the1andonly3003]

98th minute goal

 

[Mighty Joe Young]

No more subs

 

[allstonite]

Shit

 

[SocrManiac]

Oh fuck me.

 

[Mighty Joe Young]

I’ll take it

 

[the1andonly3003]

Darwin wants to go at Pep

 

[allstonite]

Haha Darwin having non of Pep

 

[fletcherpost]

That's a great point for Liverpool.
