So glad we got the points earlier in the season . we've been poor for a while now, but only 1 more win for number 20.but we badly need proper reinforcements next season. LB, CB MID, n at least 2 up front.

Noticeable how much we drop off without Trent in the side. He’s our most important player from an attacking perspective. We will have to have a massive rethink next season.

We’ve won 7 and drawn 2 of our last 10 league games and we’ve increased our lead at the top of the league from 9 to 13 over the course of the games. We aren’t playing world class football but we (mostly) keep winning. I’m pretty sure every team in the Football League would swap places with us.

Think both things can be true
We’re very good
We need reinforcements for next season.

We completely dominated the game and created lots of chances yesterday, we just didn't score them. That happens to the best of teams at the best of times. Leicester had 0 shots on goal. Zero. I mean honestly I don't know what everybody on here wants, if we couldn't break them down, were losing the ball everywhere and were being outmuscled all over the pitch I could understand the criticisms but come on guys. We all knew we were going to win that game and the goal was going to come, it was a matter of who would score and when it would be scored.

That's what I thought too, Patrik. I thought we controlled the game extremely well and Leicester didn't have many clear cut chances. The only two that came to mind was when they hit the post and when the ball went in but was correctly ruled out for a foul on Allison.
However, I also think that our game plan was wrong. I believe that we expected Leicester to come at us, since they needed a win to have any hopes of staying up but Leicester was happy to play for a draw instead. We were stroking the ball around, trying to draw Leicester out but they were a bit too happy to sit back and let us have it. We should have played at a faster tempo to create the space we needed to get a goal much earlier. That being said, their keeper played well and we hit the bar/ post about 4 times before TAA's winner.

Watching the game I always felt like we had another gear to go to if we needed to, Dracred, I know it frustrates us that it doesn't look like we want to go full throttle and try to score two in the opening 10 minutes and blow teams away, but we just have to accept that this is the way Slot approaches games generally and maybe we will be free scoring when the title is finally secured. Mind you, we could very well have been 2 up in the first 10 minutes if we took our chances, so even in that respect I don't think we have that much to complain about.

Yes, our finishing has been very poor for years. It was worse with Klopp where we’d have to create 20+ chances to score a goal.
We need a decent striker.
21 Apr 2025 07:57:12
@Faith, I agree but at any point in the history of LFC (or any other club for that matter) you could say the club needs better players. The post didn’t need the bit about us being crap, because we obviously aren’t.
21 Apr 2025 08:15:18
We created lots of chances yesterday but, like in many other matches we didn't score. I f Salah doesn't score hardly anyone else does. We need a top forward/ striker.
21 Apr 2025 08:22:38
Ron nailed it. A decent pure striker in this team and that game yesterday would have been over by half time. Diaz is not a striker and Jota/ Nunez have been bang average all season. I’d sell all 3 and pay top dollar for some in who can put the ball in the back of the net.
21 Apr 2025 09:36:59
I disagree, Ron. Under Klopp, LFC was easily top 2 for the most part when it comes to goals scored so that's not true. Now on the other hand, I do agree that we used to miss a hat load of chances as well (we never needed 20 chances to score a goal tho so abit OTT there, IMO) and many of us talked about it at the time so that's fair.
Whether we need a pure striker or not, is another thing cos this attack is built for Salah to flourish, just like City's for Haaland etc. so it will be up to the manager and the staff to decide how a striker and Salah can co-exist, should we get one.
21 Apr 2025 10:44:26
I agree to that Patrik. The team definitely has a few more gears to go through yesterday but remained stuck in second gear throughout. This is the way Slot wants us to play though and we'll just have to accept it. It has worked this season so far.
21 Apr 2025 10:47:32
Wdw we've been playing woeful for weeks . might have been getting results but could have lost a few aswel. so u don't agree we don't need reinforcements next n would you be happy with the same team going into next season .
