Cunt of a performance that. We were so flat. Absolutely no intensity. There's no real positives to take from it. It would have been easy to sub half the team at half time. Special mentions for endo, konate and Jones for that first half. 2nd half was not much better. Robbo was decent throughout. Trent tried to inject pace, but he was rusty as fuck and I think trying too hard to force it. There wasn't really any positive aside from that. 

Pretty much agree with that. Although Gakpo was good when he came on. 

 

The movement today was shite. Jones for Elliott seemed the best swap on half-time. Dom hasn't looked on it, and wasn't gonna be the differentiator.

What’s so annoying is I think it’s a reasonable assumption City will eventually be either given a retrospective massive points deduction or kicked out of the league so either us or AFC will end up being nominated as champions albeit in about years time. Alternatively City are found not guilty and Everton, Forest appeal and it drags on for years. Until that issue is resolved, this is all a phoney war so even if City win it will be a pyrrhic victory.

Neither of those things are happening, there’s more chance of Nunez putting away every single chance he gets than City getting punished in any way that actually hurts them.

More chance of us lifting the league against wolves

Gakpo wasn't great but he was ok for me. I thought we brought Dom on to try and aid with the pressing. Salah wasn't even trying to cut passing lanes, he was completely passive without the ball..and Dom can sometimes be almost 2 players. It didn't work though, because we couldn't keep groups of players close enough together to make an effective press. 

[an tha]

The amount of inaccurate or overhit passes today was staggering.

 

So many poor balls into players that ended up going out of play too.

 

Just really sloppy.

[Ronnie Whelan]

The defence is getting off lightly imo, given how badly the attack has been.

Virgil most of all. To be fair Robbo and Ali were very good today.

 

I can accept Jota's miss. It's unlike him. The others though if you took them on a one of game, but it's multiple games where they are wasteful. A few days ago, I critiqued Haaland as being a great striker/mediocre player...what I wouldn't give for that right now. With the level of chances we create, any half decent finisher could get 30 goals. Mo is goosed. If we get a decent offer this summer, just take it. You see a player like Watkins and what he brings to Villa. He's consistently been top class for them. He might not be Mo of two years ago, but I'm very sure if we had a player like him (especially with Jota out in recent weeks), we'd be top of the league. 

 

Got to be honest Emery is a very good manager. If we haven't a deal boxed off for anyone, I'd be seriously tempted by him. He knows the league and that's an advantage. Yeah, he's not Jurgen, but who is.

[Mathewbet1]

I knew we were loosing today when our best player Mcallister cold’unt even pass wind in the first half.

[Planet Origi]

There was a real desperation in our play after we conceded, at this stage we really shouldn't be giving teams a goal start.

The midfield and defence was shocking for the goal with Mac doing a Hendo wandering in no man's land impersonation...something he does quite a lot

[diamondjoe]

I was quite sanguine after the game, but the more I think  about it,the dozy cunts can fuck right off. 

[Code]

Key passes in the game.

It is. Arsenal don't give up a corner never mind points.

Yeah OK I know we still bollocksed it though

[johnsusername]

My favourite bit of the game was when Curtis let himself be nutmegged and let the ball run out of play.

Fuck all will happen to City in any meaningful time period.

[Leyton388]

I love the guy but what the fuck was Klopp thinking starting that same midfield that got dry bummed by Atalanta? What did he think would happen that they would suddenly click in this game?

Possibly the worst Salah performance Ive seen

If you're old enough, and i am, to remember the 96/97 season. It was ourselves and united going for the league and united lost at home to Derby 2.3 and we had Coventry, similar level to Palace today, at home and we went 1 up through fowler but lost 2 from corners and lost the game.

Very similar feeling i have now better arsenals loss today.

However, the cheating cunts are the real winners.

Who said crime doesn't pay.

This last week has just felt like the sort of week that happened at the business end of seasons under Roy Evans. Didn't we also have a 0-3 first leg defeat in Europe against PSG in the same season you're talking about? I seem to recall David James having a couple of screw ups in that game as well as multiple errors in important league games.

A good post in a shower of shit ones.

 

All the injuries and the congested fixture list has predictably caught up with us.

 

We’ve overachieved this season, and now watch a big portion of our supporters behave exactly like the fuming muppet bluenose supporters we enjoy laughing at. 
 

Well done Klopp for taking us further than what anyone could or should expect this season, you didnt manage to complete the miracle. We’re still so glad you’re a Red. YNWA.

Exactly how I feel, can’t rep sorry, We’ve been so lucky to live the Jurgen era : trophies, exciting football, passion, emotions. Danke, Boss !

Yeah, this was peak james and his PlayStation non concentration in games phase. He used to drop a clanger every time united rolled up round that time.

Yep. First leg he had a couple of howlers and we lost 3-0 the second leg at home we won 2-0 and nearly scored to draw level. Ultimately all in vain. Lost at home to Coventry as well after beating Newcastle in the 4-3 game. 

 

We aren't mentality monsters anymore under Klopp unfortunately.

I find it fascinating that people think I care about if they say Salah has a good or bad game, most of the time I laugh at them and think what a clueless idiot.
