The midfield three are not creating anything at all. Total waste when the ball is with any of them, in fact, it slows us down going forwards because invariably all three of them turn back instead of forwards.

We’d be just as well putting on Jota and going four up top and just playing it up to them, and get the back line to sit deeper to stop us getting caught with a long ball.

Just now, Jenson said:

We can't keep playing this high line with the full backs half way up the pitch without real pace at centre half. It's too easy to counter us and every fucking team knows it.

It's a bit late now.

Same stuff, same result so far.

 

High line like we have Gomez and VVD playing is getting exposed again at will.

 

Same old problems all over and nothing being done to change them.

 

Surely Klopp can see the issues like we can and if he does, why does he do nothing about them?

 

Has done the same thing game after game, after game and it’s the same shite result.

 

We can't play how we do with Gomez and VVD in and with our proper midfield defensively or in terms of how we go other way...so do something different that suits players we have available and playing.....its becoming embarrassing and looks like a real blind spot.

 

It is like we are putting out a team and hoping for best when we all know it can't work how hope it will.

 

What is midfield set up is or what is it meant to be doing?

 

They offer no protection whatsoever, nothing creative, they don’t move the ball forwards, they don’t close down and support a press. I have no idea what they do or are supposed to do....it is aimless and totally ineffective.

Utter dogshite. 

 

Their keeper has had nothing to do. Jota needs to come on for Firmino. I'd have Shaqiri on for him, even. Salah seems to be playing right out wide, so hasn't been a threat. The passing is decent up until we get in their half then it just goes to pieces. We've had more of the ball, but Chelsea have been more dangerous, more composed and just, generally, seem to have more of a clue and a gameplan. 

 

We've just fell off a cliff, performance wise. It's frustrating to watch.

Well if you dont have a fucking attempt at shooting at a keeper who flaps a lot, dont be surprised if you dont score. Every fucking time we try and square the ball in the box for a walk in goal. Then mount shows you how to do it.

 

Someone should have a word with Sadio and tell him, if you're going to go to ground over the slightest contact on the field, why not go down in the box as well? He seems intent on trying to stay on his feet in the box but is going down everywhere else on the fucking pitch.

 

Bobby is invisible again. Kabak will be hoping to go back to Schalke at this rate. No link up between Robbo and Sadio. Mo up against that big fucker rudiger and getting no change out of him. Curtis is just over complicating things when he gets the ball instead of either playing it off or running with it.

 

We look fucking toothless. Again.

The line is completely mental.  There’s absolutely no pressure on the ball.  They’re just playing through any press we try so we’ve given up yet are playing a suicidal line to try to catch the fastest player in the league offside.

 

Firmino was garbage again.  It was his Shite no chance of success pass that caught us out.  Trent doesn’t help Fabinho at all.  Just cowers behind him and offers no protection.  All mount has got on offer is that cut in and shot.  Trent should be blocking off that inside space and letting Fabinho push him outside.  He’s just so shit defensively and so fucking lazy.  It’s painful watching it.
