    That's all true, but it's refreshing that fans are sticking to supporting their boss. Many teams have hounded out managers in similar situations..

    Like we did with Woy :bandit:

    You all proclaimed him as the Messiah so you're committed to backing him. ;)

    He's had 2 bad months after a cracking 5 months at the start of the season, so it's not a crisis, but he needs to show that he's tactically flexible imo, as at the minute he's looking like a one trick pony.

    He has shown occasional flexibility, like the performance against Man City, for instance.
    He needs to sign more players that suit his system though, in my opinion.
    A quick, mobile centre-half and a proper left-back would be a big start.
    Replacing Sturridge with someone that he actually rates would help, too.

    Their central midfield is pish as well. When they're pressing sides on the edge of their own box and they're on the front foot it works, but face a side that chasing them down in the centre of the park and they're easily over run in that area imo.

    Henderson's definitely good enough.
    How many of their first XI would you realistically be looking to improve on, Tobes?

    They don't have a LB - Milner isn't one and Moreno is absolute dogshit
    Both of their keepers are meh
    Lovren and Matip are decent, but there's no backup as Lucas proved last night
    Klopp obviously isn't having Sturridge and Firmino isn't a central striker for me.
    Henderson has improved, but Can is just an angry no mark with no positional sense

    Henderson's average. Carrick's 47 and he's still a better player than Henderson.

    Makes a change. They usually blame the Sun.

    I can't think of one player in their first XI that would get in the league leaders' XI

    How much of that is just down to form, though?
    You wouldn't have put Moses over Clyne as a right-back at the start of the season, for example.

    Mane would get in imo. He'd get into any PL starting 11. Pace to burn and tekkers to match.

    Coutinho is coming back from a long time out, when on form he's certainly up there with the best in the PL.

    Like PNP said, it's all relative to form. When you guys had the bad start I wouldn't have took any of your team, now I'd swap about 8 <laugh>

    Fair enough, but I would not say Mane is that far ahead of Hazard, Willian or Pedro form-wise atm

    Maybe not but I'd have Mane ahead of Pedro and Willian, personally.
