Spot on this. I’m seeing Thiago getting the blame for slowing the game down yet how many times did we try and get him on the ball after the first 20 minutes. The amount of times Henderson could have played an early pass only for him to panic at the first sign of a manc closing him down and firing it back to Alison was annoying me. He was doing it from the half way line ffs.

Draws are a terrible result unless it’s against one of your challengers for the league. Burns my head out the way we let games drift out and settle for a point early.

We haven’t got a problem with keeping the ball out of our net.

Those 15 goals a Season midfielders?

If the forwards would pull their fingers out their arses or a midfielder could conjure up the strength to risk a shot we wouldn’t be worrying about getting a centre half in. City haven’t had a striker all season and they managed to work around it. We need to change our tactics.

Got to the hour mark yesterday and I was hoping for a meteor to strike the earth. We are so fucking boring to watch and we just don’t improve as the game goes on. Seen a few posts saying we were good the 1st 20 minutes but it’s the same as the previous 3. Have teams cottoned on that if you can see the 1st 20 out you’re in the game. We were like this under Brendan and Klopps early years but we were blowing teams away by then. Now it’s just a nothing. We probably are a team are built in emotion and thrive on the crowds home and away. A couple of scrappy wins the next few games will do us the world of good

He must be gutted he scored and had a good game against Palace the other week. Lad hasn’t had a look in since and our attacking plays dropped off a cliff

Don’t know if I posted it a while back but Bobby hasn’t renewed the lease on his house for next year. Could just be that he’s moving closer to the other Brazilians like.

Problem Robbo’s facing is that he has to babysit Henderson and can’t get forward to support the attack. There was a moment in the 1st half were Gini was holding the ball up in their half waiting for Robbo to bomb on but he was nowhere to be seen. There was another passage of play in the first half were we got the ball back on our left side and Henderson started running up the pitch with the midfield and Robbo had to tell him to get back. We couldn’t afford to take the risk yesterday of leaving wide open spaces for them to isolate Henderson in and Robbo made sure that our left hand side was on Wuhan levels of lockdown

Draws are a killer. I’d rather we’d have had a go and won 2 and lost 2 of our last 4 games than lose all our momentum like this.

Sorry Linda. How’s the yacht

Great point and one I just can’t get my head round the way these operate. There’s got to be a good reason for it but it just doesn’t make any sense to me.

The clubs worth about 2 billion now so they can easily release equity to tart us up and get it back in spades when the time comes to sell / float us. They’re not gonna devalue their asset by investing in us.

We’re using the excuse that great players won’t sign for us because we can’t guarantee them minutes. This creates 2 problems for us, 1, the first 11 know there’s no threat to their place and 2, if theres an injury the drop off in quality is massive. We’ve done great winning everything in sight on a tight budget but I can’t remember any team being as financially worse off as us after getting to 3 European finals, regular top 4 and then finally winning the league. Im hoping Klopp was calling them out by stealth the other day when he was praising the mancs for backing the little goblin the other day.

Our tactics are fucking maddening. Klopp seems to have reverted to his early day where if somethings broke then don’t fix it. We can’t keep using the excuse that we lost vvd as we shipped 7 with him in the team and Jota has only been here for 5 minutes. Our front 3 haven’t clicked for a long time and it’s coming home to roost. Salah plays for himself and Bobby’s a massive liability. Teams know salah’s not gonna go outside the right back and just show him inside to blast the ball against the 2nd defenders legs repeatedly while knowing if it does fall to Bobby they’ll get it back easily and counter us. These 2 know they’re undroppable no matter how bad it gets while the replacements have gave up any hope of getting a run in the team or even coming on as a sub so may as well go through the motions as their confidence must be shattered. We’re not gonna sign any big money players this month so our only hope of getting out of this rut is if he changes the tactics and goes for it. We’re an easy point for teams this season.
