John Findlay Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 1 minute ago, Nookie Bear said: Yeah i heard it but...a striker (let's say Boyce) can now loiter beyond the final defender, no more than a few feet away, and wait for them to mistime a touch, nick round the side and get the ball? If that ball had been launched by Craig Gordon then it would be called offside as soon as the striker touched it or even got involved, no? What's the difference? Only if Boyce touched it without anyone else touching the kick out from the keeper. If the defender miss controls, then Boyce is quite entitled to go for the ball.

There will be a goal disallowed this season where a striker is given offside despite a defender playing the ball in-between the original pass. Guaranteed. It's probably already happened. It may be the letter of the law but it defeats the purpose of offside and makes a mockery of it for the reason you state. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wenger looked like he was going to do it but bizarrely lost the ability to sign leaders in his sides. I also think people are a bit premature writing Liverpool off this season. They’re in the worst run Klopp has had but all the top teams are capable of that this season. I still think the league isn’t done by a mile as it’s so tight at the top.

One paced now and that was a huge part of his game. I’d imagine Levy has made a few phone calls to Madrid trying to send him back, as Madrid piss themselves at Spurs paying half his wage.

What is more likely is a few Liverpool players have lost their hunger and their edge. Last season they kept winning games with great desire and brilliance. Maintaining success is maybe the hardest thing. No real change in that squad aside from Van Dijk but Liverpool's problems aren't in defence. Tricky one for the manager. It might not be obvious until it happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, plus playing with no fans will affect some players in ways we can't really measure. In a way, this is kind of a non-season, a one-off unusual season that will always have a bit of an asterisk against it. Same for all other leagues and tournaments. Van Dijk's influence can't be underestimated though. They only became real challengers after signing him. He was the final piece of the jigsaw and was a massive influence in terms of his play and character. Huge loss.

It's under estimated for example how much an influence Harry McGuire is, at Man Utd. His mistakes are irrelevant compared to his drive and example. Maybe the likes of Salah, Trent-Arnold etc don't have it. Not enough leaders now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benny Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 They managed without Van Dijk until last month. The front three are struggling big time since they demolished Palace. Robertson doesn't seem to be bombing up and down the wing as much as well. Trent -Arnold seemingly had an 18 crosses 0 finding an Liverpool player as well. Thiago although a cracking player seems a poor fit on their style. Defence is still not their main problem,their attack and midfield are in a worse state at the moment.

He doesnt want to use it at all and always tries to comeback onto his left. Opponents know this and can either block him or take the ball from him. His form has been dipping since the resumption of football down south to complete last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
