    Especially for us who can't soak up pressure in the first place.

    Yeah I agree DTLW, but our defence is so slow that if we pressed them they would walk straight through us.

    At least we’ve learned how to cross a ball.

    I don’t actually think we’ve been *that* bad.

    Redmond actually looking quite bright on the rare occasion he sees the ball.

    And look at the team we're playing: Long up front, a left back on the wing, three central midfielders. If ever there was a team to press with, it would be this one. I mean, the lack of mobility at the back is an issue playing a high line, but it's also an issue playing a deeper line as it turns out.

    Got to say, dead impressed with Redmond today, and this season.
    NOT impressed with how badly we have been set up for this obvious game

    Agreed was just thinking the same thing, looks so much stronger on the ball than we have seen before

    He’s not been anywhere near his best for ages. Maybe having a newborn has affected him

    Hughes really couldn't do anything right today. Either he sets up like this and gets criticised for being too defensive or we go more attacking and gets stick for being too open.

    If we would have gone for a high press today and been smashed 4-0 then everyone would question why we stood toe-to-toe with a far better outfit.

    Regardless of the selection or tactics we were always likely to get heavily beaten today because liverpool are arguably the best in the league, at home, and we are pretty poor!

    This, and bad defending from the team hasn't helped him....
