Gabriel Magalhães: O Monstro

[Maybe]

The first goal was definitely Raya fault.

But the penalty incident... seriously what was he doing?

Was definitely Kiwior fault, I'm sure a cripple would be able to reach that pass from Gabriel

Magabozo was shocking during this incident, we got away with it big time.


@SA Gunner @Makingtrax @A_G

Probably tried to make it even for Bayern regarding that Saka challenge

How did the ref miss this clanger from Gabozo?

Neither him or Saliba couldn’t pass out from the back. Bayern were willing to let them have the ball.

In these sort of games, we really do lack a defender who is able to pick a pass out from the back or just drive with the ball. That’s why I think Timber would be useful for that.

Saliba drove out a few times with the ball.

But his passing was shaky throughout. There were many occasions when they could have clipped the ball over the top or through the lines. Maybe I’m asking for too much?

Yeah the nerves got to him. He started nervous against Brighton and City too but got better as the game wore on.

He didn't a good job for those that always doubted him in the back of their heads to be honest.

This is his 4th season.

I feel like they're both pretty good at passing through the lines, not John Stones but more than good enough. Nerves maybe?

The penalty incident was insane though, throw back to nervous, rash Gabriel. Hopefully this was just a blip

 

[Trilly]

I know he isn't that highly rated on here but VVD has also been unreal this season, when you watch Liverpool play the man is at time the only anchor point between the defense and Allison standing alone on the midfield line asked to stop counters. The job he's doing is ridiculous, especially considering the amount of attacks he has to deal because of Klopp's style of play. Not to mention he's the primary passing outlet from deep and vital to Liverpool's quick attacks.

Think TOTS will be one of Saliba/Gabriel and VVD.

Not to mention he's had like 4 CB partners this season, half of them inexperienced. He's back to his best, maybe even better.

The pressure got to them I think even though Gabriel and Saliba’s passing of late has been pretty mid.

Watched Saliba for France during the last international break and he looked pretty suss when pressed. Pressure, tiredness of playing every three days…not sure what it is. Uncharted territory for most of these players to play high pressured games every 3 days. Timber would have been perfect during this period to rotate at the back and give them a breather.

Saliba's passing from defence is incredible; he also drove forward with the ball on several occasions.

Tbf Bayern did a really good job cutting out passing lines to our midfielders but they also hesitated when they got opportunities to pass forward.

For sure, I just don’t think it’s been at the same standard as the beginning of the season which makes me think tiredness could be creeping in. Same with Rice tbf.

As I said the doubts on Gabriel will always exist due to his bozoness and today he was shocking. He cannot handle pressure as seen our business end of collapses with Gabriel in the team.

Also here's an interesting stat, we've not won a major trophy ever since Gabriel joined the team, a coincidence.

 

[Batman]

Still capable of multiple clown moments in big games. He's made big strides and reduced them but he was shocking today.

 

[MutableEarth]

This is like his first genuinely bad game all season but feel he played the occasion rather than the match for the entire game. Saliba had a couple jitters but he was holding it together. Gabriel got a bit too emotional today.

 

[Riou]

Saliba was poor that second half too, but think Gabriel (and Zinchenko) started it near the end of the first half.

My boy kinda folded a bit today

 

[Pop Tart]

Been his best season here but he is always capable of suspect buffoon moments.

 

[Peterq]

That was definitely Gabriel fault and today he did it again. His passing game was at best ok but lately is very akward. Maybe too much games and pressure on him.

The pass from Gabriel to Kiwior vs Bayern was fine, you can't blame someone giving a pass just because the guy receiving the ball can't move or doesn't understand what's behind him. I was watching the game with a group of people and nobody was able to understand how Kiwior couldn't move to receive the pass.
