I'm not disappointed in the header, I'm disappointed that Thomas could have blocked the shot, but stopped.

Make sure you're pissed about the right things. The defensive action was clear & it worked in the moment.

The next defensive action should be to stay on the ball and he didn't, he watched.

theshortfuse.bsky.social•22 days ago

Nah. The header was terrible. He was under almost no pressure and he headed the ball straight up the pitch to a PSG player.

Neither of those are things he should do. Head it wide. Head it out for a corner. Don't head it straight to an opponent.

If you have time and can direct it that way, yes.
A lot happened in the seconds that followed, and that's more my point.
No one can say that he intentionally headed it to a PSG player, or that he didn't try to head it LITERALLY anywhere else, but was unsuccessful.
An experienced player would try.

Partey gets the blame when he plays and when he doesn’t play lol

eeibeman.bsky.social•22 days ago

Let's not do this.

Rice and Saka missed massive chances.

Saliba had dodgy passes. One in particular.

Odegaard again could have pulled the trigger more.

But the truth is we did everything we could. Would have beat most teams.

But they were better.

Schroedingers Partey, cost the team by being both available and not available

theshortfuse.bsky.social•22 days ago

You disagree?

His easily avoidable absence pushed players out of position and disrupted on-field relationships.

He made massive errors on both PSG goals when he did play.

shredder91.bsky.social•22 days ago

I mean I was making a jokey comment and I’m also an LFC supporter, so you know….

tommycolcol.bsky.social•22 days ago

Idiot

cromulentf8.bsky.social•22 days ago

I dunno, the clearance needed to be made and was good enough that the team should have been better positioned to respond.

grantcopeland.bsky.social•22 days ago

No.

cromulentf8.bsky.social•22 days ago

To which part? Everyone crashing into the box and leaving a PSG man on the edge of the 18 unmarked is good positioning?

grantcopeland.bsky.social•22 days ago

a weak header to the central area is really poor. It's not that complicated.

bryce0623.bsky.social•22 days ago

It was a weak header but having nobody on the edge of the box on defensive set pieces is crazy

benpiggot.bsky.social•22 days ago

thats just analysis by motivated reasoning

adamtmitchell.bsky.social•22 days ago

Yeah, you can guarantee if the roles were reversed and Partey had given away the free kick and Rice made the clearance, it wouldn’t be Rice getting the blame.

grantcopeland.bsky.social•22 days ago

I actually agree with you but that was a dreadful header from veteran defensive player and it WAS unacceptable.

benpiggot.bsky.social•22 days ago

yeah he should have headed it behind imo

liamjmulvey.bsky.social•22 days ago

It's a poor header and he did cost us the first leg. And if there's some bias against him that's on his off field actions.

benpiggot.bsky.social•22 days ago

Well he cost us in the sense that he was suspended, which shows he's still pretty important to how we play.

liamjmulvey.bsky.social•22 days ago

And why was he suspended? Because he was a fucking idiot against Madrid. It's totally on him.

benpiggot.bsky.social•22 days ago

right I'm just saying that the guy is a very good player and some fans won't admit that because of non-football reasons.

liamjmulvey.bsky.social•22 days ago

He's a very good player. He's also prone to costly mistakes. And the non footballing reasons are perfectly valid reasons to want him gone. A new contract would say some pretty distasteful things about a club that claims to value it's community.

diresu.bsky.social•22 days ago

I agree it's time for him to go, for a number of reasons.
