Deserved nothing more with that pathetic performance, especially in the first half. The only positive may be that it could help inject a sense of urgency into the games ahead.

Everyone looks so lethargic, where is all the preseason gone? The need for more dynamism in the midfield is even more glaring and Klopp still has time to do bring in someone.

Yep, preseason mode.

Thanks.

What a revelation the Bajetic is, I definitely want to see more of him in the Charity game.

Bit of a snide, with that stupid phone call-shaped fingers stuck to his ear every time he scores. Not a Liverpool player for me.

The bundle of nerves I am, don't think I can watch it. Whatever will be will be. We should be grateful to Klopp and this group for an unbelievable season they gave us regardless of the final outcome. Come on you REDS!!

How does it look on the Abu Dhabi side?

Poor Coady got his medicine from Mane.

Players looked overwhelmed by the occasion. Too nervous and barely in control.

Wtf is Thiago up to?

Trent sleeping, what the fuck.

That's it, I'm not watching this.

Come on guys, no one seems to be able to hit it on target, really frustrating.

The middle is our problem. Basically playing with two men, not counting Henderson of course. I don't know if we can bring on Fabinho in the second.

It's a good sign, I didn't know Fbinho was on the bench.

Started on the right foot but should have taken those precious early chances.

The Quad hype is a creation of the sensational media partly intended to set us up for a good laugh when we come short, which they have already started. A lot of us have fallen for it but we can be forgiven as fans. Correct me if I'm wrong but no such thing has happened in recent memory as far as I know. To be realistic, I would consider it a huge success if we won just one of the remaining three trophies, especially the CL. The expectation is obviously taking its toll on the psyche of our players. I am talking here about things like the constant hoofing of the ball, too many stray passes and the overall rushing of play. And of course Salah's loss of form at a critical time we needed him has not helped. I understand why Klopp starts him regardless but I thought he could have mixed it up a little by introducing somebody like Origgi for the last 20 minutes or so. So it should be no surprise nor a source of depression if we lose the title to City. Let's fully focus now on the other two left, snatch one at least and call it a season.

We're the underdogs now, which suits us better. As for the Oilemen, this is the blow they will never recover from.

We can beat this lot if we tweak our system somewhat...ditch our high defensive line which has so often left us vulnerable at the back and play with a double pivot. We don't always have to blitz it, you know.

Diaz was detrimental in the second half. Time for another Diaz on the right.

True that, should teach us a lesson or two.

Pulled off another great result. But there should be an inquisition into that shitty performance in the first half. Paris here we come, we're the great Reds of Liverpool.
