What we saw was the exact same type of goal being conceded in the same way on the same side. The difference was it was Bradley this time who allowed it.

People are too harsh on Trent when it comes to defending.

22 Jan 2025 19:51:49
There were two lille players in the box only for the cut back, eight LFC players and GK makes nine versus two, and they still scored? Arne said afterwards on TNTsports, teams are scoring against us with only one good chance recently

Good little team lille though, they have beaten both real madrid (home 1-0) and atletico madrid (away 1-3), and a notable home draw with Juventus (1-1) also in this season's UCL.

Bradley went to his player who passed it by him. Elliot let the man go. But Bradley nearly got back . Not sure how you squeezed Trent into the equation.

23 Jan 2025 03:34:24
I think Nevada was trying to say that if it was Trent who did that instead of Bradley, there would be tonnes of posts on here and on social media criticizing the defending.

23 Jan 2025 11:31:34
It's nothing to do with Trent or Bradley (yes he got beaten a bit too easily last night but I am talking generally) . The defence was in a fairly good shape but when the ball is cut back behind the defenders like that you need your midfielders to step up by tracking the runners. Grav is good at this but he can't track everybody (he's also good at recovering when he has failed to track somebody) . None of our other current midfielders are good enough at this and it leaves the defence open against situations like this. Just getting back and being a body in the box is not enough.

Another game, any couple of hours of nonsense posts from Leek.

21 Jan 2025 22:05:12
Chiesa looked really good.

22 Jan 2025 07:24:26
Not great game, played in 3rd gear for most of it I thought but job done. We had the hard work done in earlier games. Hopefully jones OK, looked awkward enough the way your guy fell on him.

21 Jan 2025 21:32:21
it was nice to see Chiesa be first over to celerbrate with Elliot. And good to see Grav come off and Endo be trusted for 30 odd mins.

21 Jan 2025 22:23:52
We’ve beaten a pretty good team tonight, rotated a bit, and in doing so we’ve given Elliott, Chiesa, Endo, Jones and Nunez more game time which helps sharpen them up for the run in and build their form and confidence. We can choose to rest a few others next week as well which all helps.

22 Jan 2025 08:22:51
Dont know about Jones as he injured himself but I agree Jordan.

22 Jan 2025 09:48:44
They were not a good team they have had some good results in champions league but i did not think they bothered us even when they scored we was always going to go and get a second goal and but for poor finishing the score would of been 4 or 5 -1 . We never got out of first gear no disrespect to them ment.

23 Jan 2025 10:29:29
iwillbered, "They were not a good team"

Would LFC not be a good team if they also beat both Real Madrid at home 1-0, and Atletico Madrid away 3-1, ended the match with ten men standing, scored when they only had ten men, just one goal separated the teams, give credit where it's due surely!

Lille 21 games unbeaten as well before arne-field Tuesday night, ye certainly have very high standards to maintain!

23 Jan 2025 14:12:00
21 games most in the French league. Tranmere Rovers would do well in that league. 007 yes they have had luck in the champions league which every year a lower classed team creates shock score lines against top teams. 007, They were a bang average team one shot on goal we missed a number of chances as I said it could of 4 or 5-1 no disrespect to you 007 you have your opinion mate and I respect your opinion but we differ on this point my friend.
YNWA.

Looks like Lile is really up for this one , while we are in coasting autopilot mode.

21 Jan 2025 20:58:10
Have a day off.

21 Jan 2025 21:27:45
Elliot the only bright spark! Get in!

21 Jan 2025 21:29:04
I want Chiesa in! His passion, eagerness and joy when we score is infectious.

21 Jan 2025 21:44:10
Hakon Arnar Haraldsson what a player! We should get him!

21 Jan 2025 21:50:26
With Endo in, he midfield looks much more stable.

21 Jan 2025 21:58:42
Jonathan David is nowhere near good enough for Liverpool .
Well done lads …. Good result tonight .

21 Jan 2025 23:34:19
We need to bin Salah and Szoboslai for Akrim Afif and Haraldson. It's the only way.

22 Jan 2025 10:41:17
The Blond lad for Lille looks good player . never stopped running n tidy footballer, can't spell his name but think it was haralson. we got the job done tonight . hope we can get Cheisa fit n stay fit, you can see he's a really good player with an eye for goal.

22 Jan 2025 11:55:59
Didn’t we buy Nunez based on a good game against us?

21 Jan 2025 19:45:10
Seen the team news for tonight and have to say this is fast becoming my only bug bear with slot.

Why on earth doesn’t he just rest Grav and Salah. game is a dead rubber and they both look knackered last few games. We have Endo, Elliot and Chiesa sitting on the bench who all need mins.

21 Jan 2025 19:56:31
How on earth is it a dead rubber? Do you think we are playing Plymouth? we need the win. he can rest them vs PSV and Plymouth. Check lille's record in the CL this season. Slot is a winner which is what you want in a manager.

21 Jan 2025 20:23:17
Salah is gone. Heart, mind no longer there.

21 Jan 2025 20:31:46
I absolutely agree with OP re Salah. I have no clue how it makes sense to start him with his recent form and when we have squad players who need minutes. There was rumors back under Klopp that Salah had guarantees in his contract about playing time, and I'm not saying its true, but its sometimes hard to rationalize his selection and the fact he is never subbed otherwise.

21 Jan 2025 21:09:13
Salah should be on hat trick. I like to see Danns, Chiesa getting run out.

21 Jan 2025 19:08:17
I've had next to no criticism of Slot since he came in but that team sheet this evening is baffling.

Grav desperately in need of a rest. Next few games seemed the perfect opportunity for chiesa and elliot to get some minutes in.

21 Jan 2025 19:12:57
Should have picked Endo tonight. Running Gravenberch into the ground isn’t the best idea.

21 Jan 2025 19:18:43
yeah, i get winning the ganes is important. but such an opportunity to rest some keys players doesn't come too often. Fingers crossed they get pulled of half time for a deserved rest.

Really want to see Elliot play.

21 Jan 2025 19:26:55
Maybe he comes off after 60 for Macca or Endo.

21 Jan 2025 19:39:23
The team today is indeed surprising.

21 Jan 2025 12:12:16
My pick for tonight:
Alisson Bradley Konate Quansah Robbo Macca Jones Szobo Chisea Diaz Nunez.
Keeps us strong while resting those in need imo- VVD, Salah, Grav, Gakpo.

21 Jan 2025 13:49:46
Elliot needs a start so I'd swap him for Szobo. (I'd also play Endo for Macca but I don't think Slot will make that many changes)

21 Jan 2025 17:47:44
We go full strength imo or close to it. Lille have beaten Atletico, Real, drawn w Juve and are unbeaten in 21 games. Can rest against Plymouth and PSV knowing top 2 secured.

21 Jan 2025 18:35:45
Agreed Red-Flyer69, i don't know why people think we're playing accrington!

21 Jan 2025 19:02:56
Well looks as tho we're giving Macca Trent and Konate a rest. Bradley is no slouch and Quansah could def use the minutes for his confidence.
