Cock. Piss. Nunez.
Fucking awful performance. From the team. And the aforementioned player. He’s done now. Get whatever you can for him. He’s never going to be good enough.
On the game itself, you should never be able to say that you lost a derby because the other side wanted it more. Even more so when it’s a game you need to win to keep your slim title hopes alive.
But, that’s what happened with the exception of Diaz and maybe one or two others (being generous). You have to give Everton credit, they out battled us and took advantage of our giving up cheap goals, which has been there all season, and our recent inability to put our chances away.
The tone was set from the non-penalty. That summed up the whole performance. Sloppy, not street smart, panicky. A really weak, insecure and immature performance.
It might be the Klopp announcement. Or something else. But, it feels like something has gone wrong with this team over the past few weeks. The conceding first thing has been a constant all season.
But, performance wise, we were cruising along and then it’s just liked someone slammed the breaks on and every ounce of confidence, momentum, ability, fight, desire, the lot, was drained out of the team.
Just look at Endo. He’d been great for us. Then, tonight and his past few games, dodgy. Standing on the ball. Giving it away. A free kick conceding machine.
I think Klopp should’ve stuck with most of the midfield from Fulham. The others had looked leggy. Jones doesn’t look fit.
I think the season will peter out from here. Which is a shame for Klopp to go out in such a manner. He’s been excellent for us and deserves more.
Big job for the new manager. The freshened up squad already looks like it needs freshening up a bit agai
