Coutinho must be wandering what the fuck he did wrong in a past life to be playing with this lot.

 

Some truly bemusing decisions today: no Origi; handing Wijnaldum a debut away from home; keeping Lallana/Henderson/Moreno at the club then daring to put them at the heart of the side.

 

Need to make changes now.

Appalling half we're somehow drawing.

 

Moreno is a spastic, and the front six is a complete mess. Almost all of them are playing out of position. Play Coutinho as the ten behind Origi, Wijnaldum and Mane (the players that can run) and have the two midfielders best at defending behind him. Whoever they are.

Every time Lallana fucks up we are almost immediately in trouble defensively.

He needs to learn quickly that a mistake in a central midfield role is far more costly than up front.  I don't think he'll adapt, personally.  The midfield has been the root cause of our problems today,  Henderson trying to play covering midfielder and taking up all the wrong positions.  Lallana not being able to control and move the ball as the deeper role requires.  Wijnaldum passing to anyone but a LFC player.

 

Have to play the coutinho get of jail free card.

Klopp gets to reset the game and rip up his first half plan and start again.

 

He's either GOT to bring Moreno off or bring a third centre back on.

 

Also, Firmino is constantly getting the ball with his back to goal. Arsenal's centre halves are just passing him off to the midfield. Need to get Origi on and test them with his pace and directness. Maybe go 2 up top, Mane and Origi if he goes 3 at the back.

To all those blind optimists that thought we could wing it without a new LB and do OK that performance from Moreno should open a few eyes. You just can't afford passengers in PL football and certainly not ones that hurt you so much with rash tackles and non existent marking, What the fuck were we doing sending Flanno out on loan ?

Got to sort this shit out at half-time. Can and Origi on.

Lallana and Wijnaldum our two CMs, Henderson as DM. What the fuck are we thinking? Instead of bullying the hell out their two centre-backs, we've instead allowed them to grow in confidence by playing a false nine and hardly ever pressing them. And, the least said about Moreno, the better.

According to theory, the Big Bang should have produced matter and antimatter in equal quantities.

 

Fortunately this means that for every Moreno, there is a Coutinho.

In a parallel universe somewhere there is an Alberto Moreno playing for Arsenal in this fixture,

I've semi-defended Moreno (never said he was great, but my position has always been he's decent enough and fullbacks don't matter much) but I've changed my mind.

 

Shocking.  The final against Sevilla and then that first half.  He needs a good month or two on the bench and some serious work on the training ground.  The problem is that he might be that thick that there's no fixing his problems.

If last season didn't open their eyes, I doubt today will.  Moreno has been Moreno.
