Our refusal to adapt to what we have rather than what we want to have is laughable.

 

It is all rotten because of the midfield.....it had two jobs to do and did them brilliantly when we were at our best and had the right players in there....

 

1.Help the defence by winning loose balls/covering gaps we leave when pushing on......

 

2. Get ball quickly to forwards/pushed on full backs.

 

It no longer does either effectively because we don't have the players in it to do it any more.

 

Top and bottom of it.

Amen, brother.

We need someone like Gary Neville highlighting week after fucking week just how bad our owners are

You can take poor form but you can't accept that effort. Never had this from this team and it's shameful

You’ve had it on countless occasions, even last season when key players with no back ups worth mentioning are out injured.  

 

Unforgiveable at this stage.

When will he change these fucking terrible tactics that leave us wide open at the back and no threat up front. 
 

We got a free hit to the CL final last year and shit it  when it mattered and we haven’t learned a fucking thing. 

That's the frustrating thing it's like they don't watch our own games. Nothing is being learned be practical for fuck sake. We are shite defensively so help the defence become more defensive we have the players to counter. The high line is suicide for us at the moment but we will go into the weekend exactly the same and the same shit will happen.

Complete embarrassment of a performance. What the fuck is up with most of these players this season? Absolute shite game after game. Second to every loose ball, miscontrolling simple passes, constantly looking like they're running through treacle. There was no danger whatsoever in the build up to the second and third goals and then Gomez (just 1 minute after being lucky to get away with another dozy moment) and then Trent contrived to somehow gift them easy goals. Why would an experienced pro like Milner have his arm out like that for the first penalty? I've seen people saying van Dijk is not reaching his usual standards but is still playing well by the standards of others. I think even that's being generous. He just looks like a poor player at the moment. I'd have been embarrassed had my first touch been as bad as Mo's was at times in that half. 

 

I don't know what's gone wrong this season and how we've fallen so far from grace so quickly. I have no idea how it gets fixed either as there doesn't seem to be one single thing we're doing well at the moment or one senior player who doesn't look like a complete shadow of themselves.

If he's carrying an injury he shouldn't be playing, there's no other excuse.

[Red74]

This squad came to the end of its life last season and needed a full rebuild. 
 

Klopp signing the new contract had me believing we’d do it. This is just abysmal. It looks like we all hate one another and aren’t playing for him.

Trent can fuck off this season also. He's been a total embarrassment this season. Absolutely loved the lad but he's been lazy all season. 

we can add VanDijk and Salah to that list too pale imitations this season

[Elite]

Trent deserves shit. It's like he thinks he shouldn't have to defend, just hit Hollywood passes and score the odd screamer.

Wow, Virgil for the third goal - absolutely not interested in what's happening. What's happened to him? 

All over the place, Trent was just stood watching no attempt to get back in and help Gomez who is fucking awful tonight anyway, talk about play as a team if that's your team mate and he's having a mare it should be in the back of your mind you might have to drop in and help him but nah not Trent.

[Carra_is_legend]

I would drop Trent for the next 5 games. Just for the attitude shown.

He's never been a great defender but this season it looks like he decided that he is now purely an attacking midfielder. Preparing for his Barcelona move next summer?

As he should be. Same thing for Gomez. Both has been diabolically bad at defending and this isn’t limited to this game. Has been ongoing for a while, going back to last season also. 

[Moctezuma]

Alexander-Arnold has been poor for a long time now, Ramsay is extremely raw and unused to our system (er what system- currently), but you would suspect he'll be in the team fairly soon.

[Saintslfc13]

Salah has the yips and until he sorts his head out shouldn't be starting. I've never been a fan of the Trent in midfield idea but if he insists on playing there (or at forward) anyway then we need to try it or bench him for a player who will play defense. Milner's been bad but Gomez has been worse, both need subbing at halftime.

Midfield's getting bypassed by us and them, which is compounded by us pumping in long balls that don't stick to our forwards either because they really don't have a fucking chance at them or their touch is shit (particularly in Mo's case). This leaves us having to chase back and has lead to pretty much every one of their opportunities. Robbo needs to stop with the early crosses to no one too.

Bobby and Diaz are completely isolated when they don't drop deep to get the ball, but if they do drop deep it leaves with a team of players to beat and too often no one to pass too, or it goes to Robbo for one of the aforementioned crosses to no one.

Only real positive was Ali's save. Other than that VVD seems to be better and would probably be fine without Gomez next to him. Elliot and Fab have been alright when they haven't been let down by everyone else.

Ok, fuck Napoli. Come on Reds. 45 minutes. Get one back quickly and make the doubts creep in. Get a second and they’ll shit themselves. 3-3. We can still do this. Just dig deep and find yourselves.

We’re creating enough, we just need a bit of luck and if we get one we pull the game to us. Back four is atrocious though…can’t see them not conceding in 2nd half unless Klopp threatens a red hot poker up the arse.

Gomez at right back...

 

I said we should have got Djed Spence.

Klopp could complete the set with a UEFA Cup this season.

[Josef Svejk]

At least Trent will have a break in November / December. 

[etho]

Whatever reputation the players had, at this moment for the vast majority it's gone. You can rest on your laurels or stand around admiring yourself. Need to start at the beginning with basics. Effort is the minimum we should expect

The Klopp era is done.

 

And it was punctuated by his retard sidekick's book. 

No it's not. People said the same two years ago..don't get me wrong he needs to sort his shit out because this inactivity just watching the same errors again and again isn't good enough. If fsg invested in their club we might be able to play whatever the fuck this is we are attempting.
