Kind of a relief reading this, as it's exactly so infuriatingly bad as I saw it myself. Your view of this shameless un.performace is exactly right. I'm angry... at the players and at Klopp. Fuck it, we'd be better off with Dyche or big Sam as gaffer. Those two would just throw van Dijk up in attack, play long balls over their over confident 6 man pressing game, and would probably end üp with a couple of lucky goals. Those last 15 mins was so lame it beggars belief. If you didn't know better you'd think we were the team being 3-1 up.

To me these two games were more Gasperini vs Klopp than it was Atalanta vs Liverpool, and Gasperini totally humiliated Klopp. If we were surprised at Anfield, and we shouldn't have been, surely we'd sort it out for the next game, No we didn't. Other than shuffle our front men around from right to left, to midfield and back up front, probably trying to disrupt their man-man defense, we really had no clue. They pressed with four players and had at least 2 more forllowing our midfielders dropping deep in the build up. That should make them vunerable at the back. Apart from a few long passes, normally from Trent, we never took advantage of what shoudl have been a risky defence plan.

Let's go for it. If we score the first goal for a change it's match on! If at 60 mins we're 4 goals behind on aggregate, it's time to rest our key players. It's unlikely we'll be able to do it. It was unlikely against Barca too. Just give it a go.

Maybe Amorin's going to team up with former Sporting player Bruno F? Who knows his ambitions? If Amorin's totally comitted to the task at Anfield, OK he may be the right man. If he's not certain and waits for a possible bidding war between the Salford lowlives and us, I don't want him.

If Xabi has his eyes on the Real Madrid top job, why would we want him here? Not saying that's his dream, but if he can leave Leverkusen for us he could certainly also leave us for Madrid. Wouldn't like to see Xabi here for one year, and then leave. If that's a probable scenario we might be better off with someone else. It's all down to Xabi and his ambitions isn't it? He'll know he might be sacked in Madrid if he doesn't win la liga and CL in his first year. Here he'll get more time to build stone by stone.

100% the way I saw it too. Hopefully they still believe this was their turning point, pat themselves on the back, and do the same on April 7th. Failing to deal with it once was terrible. Failing twice would be a criminal offence. Klopp knows it and it won't happen. Looking forward to the PL match in a couple of weeks.

Mid feb 2020 we had won all our league games but one - the away game at Old T (1-1)

Hopefully they'll play us with the same brilliant high press low block tactics on Apr 7th. I guess they will. After all they've turned a corner haven't they? If we don't win that by 3+ goals, gap sticks for the players must be reinstalled in the city centre.

Agree. When Klopp said "they deserved to win" it shouldv'e been "we deserved to loose" They wanted to play a disorganized gung-ho match, and we allowed them to just that in the first 30 and last 30 mins of the game. They were like a pubteam on stereoids and speed. We didn't cope with it and took way too many risks ourselves. We handed them this win.

That Tik Tok clip is really embarrassing for Bruno and Man U. Thx to Ten Hag for bringing it to my attention. Probably would've passed me by without it.

Great report that, straight from the heart. "Danns hadn’t even been on a first team bench until this week and now he’s got more medals than Harry Kane. " Sums it up doesn't it.

Why do you compare the two? Endo was caught offside. He wasn't penalized because of the block.

Haven't seen it mentioned here before, but it pisses me right off that Bradley got a yellow. The snide Chilwell attacks him and even graps at his face. Conor shows great calm and professionalism by not doing anything else than to stand his ground. I doubt I could've contained myself from planting at fist on his nose. Yet Conor's booked for it. Booked for nothing, booked because Chilwell attacked him. It's bullshit. What if Conor was already on a yellow and Chilwell not?

Yeah it was booed alright, but not by the vast majority. Personally I'd prefer keeping my gob shut. Watching one half of the Wembey crowd silent would be just as telling as booes, only without being disrespectful. No that I care much. The answer to your question is "Yes it was booed.

The way I saw it too. When Kloppo took Robbo, Macca and Gakpo off and replaced them with Tsimikas and kids, I admit my reaction was: "We better score a lucky goal before XT if we're going to win this. If we give Chelsea 30 extra mins we're dead". Only, they didn't take advantage, we were arguably the better team in XT. If there's actually such a thing as a Chelsea fan, he or she should be really pissed off by their teams abmyssal effort in XT. Takes nothing away from our kids though.
