    You were already 1-0 down before the card, they looked like picking you off even with 11 on the pitch.

    You crumpled like a cheap suit when down to 10 though.

    TAA needed to get tighter to Mendy he can bend a ball nicely and was just whipping them in. TAA was then pushing on after the card with us trying to pressure them and they were picking us off De Bruyne was just running the show. If we were just 1 down we could have sat back and tried to get them on the break but once they had 2 it was all over.

    Yup TAA was abject, either caught up field or to tight to his CB. Mendy had a wicked cross and was chucking in great ball after great ball.

    Mane the dumb eeejit going for the flying kick on Edersons head

    We were looking decent withh 11 and should have had a goal (Salah) and done better with a couple of attacks (Salah). The ****er needs to up his game as he's getting in the right areas and ****ing it up.

    He had an easy afternoon skinning the hapless Otamendi, but his end product was ****e. His pace makes him a handful though.

    I've mentioned that since GW1. Salah will get opportunities and he will miss a lot. Having him in the team means you will get those opportunities (which you probably wouldnt) as hes go great movement, speed and trickery. He just can't finish very well / supply the killer pass all the time.

    Given the situation that you were in though, I really didn't understand taking him off at half-time.
    Your only chance was to hit them on the break and he was the player doing that before the red card.
    Why take him off, especially when Mane was the other option and he'd been dismissed? Bizarre.

    Think it was Klopp raising the white flag and saving his players for Wednesday. Defeatish attitude really.

    I think that he's one of those that given time he'll **** it up, if he doesn't have time to think it'll end up in the net.

    I thought that as well, he might have been hooked because of his end product, dunno though.

    Nah that wasn't the case until later on in the game. It's hard to know what managers think sometimes we would all have gone with the pace but Klopp though otherwise.

    Nah, i think he's just inconsistent in his finishing. He had plenty of time to think against le arse and he finished beautifully beyond cech.

    Well he is supposed to be quite fast and works hard. Might be a bit faster if he lost some beef imo. I remain unconvinced but it wouldn't be fair to judge on that game.

    Would have been less embarrassing to admit that you just went into hiding.
