Don’t be fooled by Diaz’ bluster. His end product is consistently below the required standard in a team chasing the league.

If thats the barometer to judge by then Diaz will have plenty of company

Diaz was not our best player last night, the end.

You must have watched a different game. Effort alone put Diaz head and shoulders above everyone else. He was making runs, creating space, taking players on- he was just surrounded by subdued ineptitude.

Losing Mane and signing Nunez looked a decent move at the time. About 10 games in it was clear we'd dropped a clanger   

I never understand how in recent games we can spend so long probing and passing around the opposition box but not create a dangerous chance- they clear it and all of a sudden the shots are raining in on our goal

I’ve no idea what Klopp can be saying to them in the dressing room after that to arrest the decline. What can he possibly say?

Ha, what in the absolute fuck are these changes? 

I think Klopp might be as stoned as Robertson 

Salah isn’t even making runs or getting into position 

Diaz is several levels above everyone else.

Roberson playing like he’s stoned off his face

Sad way to end the Klopp tenure this.

It dreadful but he has to take some of the responsibility. It was a bizzare time to announce he was leaving. Fine while we were cruising but the moment we faced adversity how could he ask them to dig deep when he had clearly had enough.

The truth will come out I think 

Salah is fucked

They're defending in two banks of 4 the width of the 6 yard box.

Play into them. Surely we have the technique? Quick passing? Going wide and lobbing it in for 8 Grocks to lap up isn’t working

Doesn't have to be a dinked cross. Just pull them out of shape a bit more.

Just play through them centrally- they are cart horses. If you get possession in the box they will take you out- especially Pickford 

Diaz is our biggest threat by a country mile.

Which in fairness isn’t too hard to achieve 

It feels like Klopp will have a hard time influencing them as he’s giving signs he’s not fully into it

What the exact place they want us to go?

Hardly-our  dinked crosses are being swept away at leisure 

Stop playing it wide- go straight down the middle reds 

Ref has been dreadful. Anytime we challenge they go to ground before we even get there and get the foul 

They will run out of steam

Same old story, we're getting bullied and out muscled.

 

We need to stick in some bone crunchers and be far more aggressive.

They keep getting fouls by running into our players 

We'll probably agree a deal where we loan him back for a season   

A goatee may move him away from the Van Gerwen look towards the Stone Cold Steve Austin look

Instead of an AUSTIN 3:16 t-shirt we could have SLOT 4-2-3-1     

Dave U's go-to Guardiola insult of "baldy weirdo" may have the last laugh in an ironic twist of fate   

Who refused to go with him if he left for Spurs-

This guy is his larger than life assistant- I vaguely remember him- John DeWolf

Its quite a distraction during a title run-in. I appreciate they had little choice but to act now.

Even the players are probably googling him on their phones right now.

Ive heard he's picking the team tonight
