Firmino is the most energetic player on the pitch and everything is going through him.  Absolute madness to consider subbing him.  Jones looks completely lost tonight though.  Would be nice to see Thiago.

This is spot on. Jones looks out of his depth tonight sadly!

[Tarwater 94]

Trent’s been bad. Seems very out of form at the moment. Firmino’s been good, though. Don’t understand the criticism, really. Yes, he had one unfortunate touch, but other than that, he’s pretty much the only one stretching their defence out of shape.

[3 Stacks 2,459]

Trent's just doing a bunch of arrogant nonsense with the ball. Hitting hospital balls into the middle of the pitch, using the outside of his foot 75% of the time. It doesn't look fatigue or injury related.

On a positive side, loved Ally McCoist getting called out for loving Liverpool and him showing absolutely no denial nor shame on it!

He’s like it every Amazon game!

[m0e 1,525]

If anyone had any doubt about Nat Phillips, this game should have put that to bed.

 

Championship level at best. And not the promotion chasing type.

Not a very good half that, but improved the last 20 minutes.

 

Bobby our best player imo, which I’m sure not many agree with. His off the ball movement has been absolutely excellent, and the main reason we have created a few chances.

 

Fabinho and Robertson also good as always. Sadio on and off.

 

Disappointed by Salah, Henderson and Trent so far. Trent looks la bit like he thinks he doesnt have to put in too much effort any more, need him to get back to his best.

 

Nat Phillips is an accident not waiting to happen, seem to happen on a regular basis, so would guess we need a couple of goals to win this.

Agree about Bobby. Some lovely movement. Sadio has been below average for him and Mo have been poor. 

 

A lot of 5 or 6/10 performances but think we nick this late on.

 

Nat seems like a lovely lad but Jesus Southampton and then the Mancs will be rubbing their hands at taking him on. If we don't sign a centre half we are basically going from slight favourites to win the league to an outsider because by the time Matip is back, we will have dropped numerous points to teams with any kind of pace and then Matip won't be able to stay injury free.

Haha he is. First time I hear him getting called out on it though, or has that happened before?

[Wezza 436]

Hard to believe that two games ago we scored seven - seems a million miles away from that these last two games. Big half ahead.

[Captain Howdy 981]

Firmino  has been our best player for me, not saying much like.

[ZonkoVille77 5,522]

Bobby playing well. Mané shite. Robbo well. Salah so so. Milner doing nothing. Hendo working hard. Trent shite. 

 

Nil all. 

[TheDrowningMan 402]

It would be beyond ridiculous not to sign a first-team centre back when the window opens, regardless of the inevitable premium. As much as an extra £10m or so might sting, we’d be considerably more fucked if we were to miss out on the CL, and in a league this tight and with performances as poor as West Brom and tonight, it’s not a possibility that can just be routinely dismissed.

[Johnlj 372]

We really don't want to win the league this season. Now fucking show some guts in the second.

[dockers_strike 2,090]

I like it how the cunts are streaming me the US adverts during the break then likely make me reconnect to a stream just as the 2nd half is starting.

 

Come on Liverpool, you're tons better than this. Make it happen this half.

[Anubis 17,428]

What happened to Gino shouting at them that we can’t start slowly on the dressing room. If that was the case we’ve learnt nothing.

Williams is just as bad. Hope we’ve got someone ready to come in by the weekend 

[Red74 913]

Get the ball forward quicker and get in behind them. This fucking around going side to side seems to wear us out more than the other team

[dockers_strike 2,090]

Fucking hell Sadio, you better not throw a strop if you're subbed later!

[Rick Sanchez C-137 5,265]

Jones caught in possession too often

[Rick Sanchez C-137 5,265]

When's Jota back?

[Johnlj 372]

We'll probably have a sub in the 88th minute. It's getting ridiculous, fucking change it when it's not working.

[Rick Sanchez C-137 5,265]

Get Thiago on too!

Wears me out for sure 

[Rick Sanchez C-137 5,265]

Getting the ball forward quicker usually translates as just lumping it to their CBs. Not much better.

 

[Red Shift 283]

Probably saved a goal there, but jeez Fab. Thats 2 yellows
