Given most of the squad didn't just play for over a week, whats the excuse for the lack of energy in the rest of the players?

That problem stems entirely from not replacing Wijnaldum and having to rely on Ox, Keita and Milner which has proven to be a complete fucking disaster.

Controversial to many on here but I think they've been good owners. Some real shady cunts tried to buy us from Tom & Jerry.   FSG came in, stabilised us, kept us at Anfield and redevelop

Based on replies to my tweet about this, the defence seems to be that because the club pays tax they're entitled to do this. Another argument is that there are wealthier businesses doing the same and

Same old cuck banging the FSG drum. Shame the French coppers didn’t give him a good kicking.

All 14 players on Tuesday were incredibly lethargic and lacked intensity because we didn’t replace Wijnaldum?


I won’t pin it on anybody in particular but I do think midfield has been an issue all season, it’s more than Wijnaldum missing.  We’ve only looked fully functional when Thiago has played (who was Wijnalduns replacement) . Klopp & Lijnders have spoken about being less predictable (hence the early inclusion of Elliott & Keita in big away games) but for whatever reason, what is trying to be implemented isn’t 100% working .

 

Define “disaster”. To me third in the league, with a game in hand to go second, in the League Cup semi and having cruised through a potentially difficult CL group is far from a disaster.


Don’t get me wrong, I’m still massively fucked off about Tuesday and only a win on Sunday will rectify that. At times we’ve been very sloppy this season. Brentford & Brighton were 2 games, along with Leicester were games we should have been taking 9 points and it’s inexcusable that we didn’t. 

 

That’s not down to the lack of 1 player though, it’s a collective effort. 
 

There is still plenty to play for this season on all fronts,  nobody should be throwing in the towel.

League winning season aside, this is the best start we've ever made to a season since 1990 - coincidentally the last time we won the league.

 

If you take into account a cup semi final and a perfect CL record, it's probably one of the best starts we've EVER made.

 

People really need to get a grip.

Missing out on the possibility of four major trophies because our owners wouldn't sanction signing a defender last year and midfielder this year is a monumental disaster. 

 

All these sucker punch goals we keep giving up and clear cut chances are a direct result of Gini not playing. We never used to give up these many chances with him playing. Guarentee we wouldn't have as many losses and draws with that beautiful bastard here.

I think the problem is we are trying to shoehorn in too much creativity into our midfield.

 

18-19 & 19-20 our midfield was extremely efficient and hard working, when the ball came out the won it and we contained teams and pinned them to their 3rd mainly by playing sideways passing keeping possession until the right time.

 

These more creative players in midfield don't do the donkey work in covering the fullbacks on the same way meaning there is always an out ball and all you need is some jabroni with pace to hurt us on the counter. 

 

I would like us to sign a more robust midfielder who is happy to do the covering work and has a bit of pace to cover counter attacks. Who that player is I dont know but then I'm not paid to find these players, that's for the transfer committee.

 

Edit. I would preferably like this player to be good at football.

I don’t agree. 
 

We gave up plenty of big chances in 19/20 as well but we lucky the opposition didn’t take them - Pepe at Anfield, Martial at Anfield, Ings at St Mary’s, Lo Celso at Spurs... and they are just off the very top of my head. 
 

On the centre back thing, that’s been done to death. To me, it looks like we wanted Konaté all along, RBL wouldn’t sell once we got them in the CL and we decided to wait.

Personally I think it's more to do with they're all fucking crocks and the midfield is almost picking itself, and not in a good way, each week. None of the midfield are staying fit and available and developing any rhythm. The only time we have, between the last international break and when covid hit us, we were playing pretty well. Over 18/19 & 19/20, we had Gini available all the time and fab most of the time. And we normally had at least 2 of any 3 klopp picked fit and in rhythm.

If only that was obvious in the summer and it wasn’t hindsight as certain posters want/wanted to claim.
