5 Points of top 4. Hardly the end of the world guys. If we can string together a run after the January window, we could well find ourselves in contention for the top 4.
Any time we have an opportunity to benefit from a crash by the mancs, we have an even worse crash than them The performance was just unacceptable. What key players apart from sick note did we miss?
Yup, I was critical of him at first, but he actually looks like he has learned quite quickly the physical nature of the Prem. Caused a bit of panic at the back and we'd do well to start him as it'll give other players more space.
If we are talking this season then the game against Man Utd at the toilet was a lot worse than this performance too, at least we got bodies forward today even if they were useless.
Everyone knows we don't have very good players, so we should not be that concerned when this happens. More excited when he actually gets this heap of **** to play well, as its promising for when the real deal arrive.
Shades? It was a carbon copy! Ha! The performance was terrible but we're not helped with the stupid individual errors. We lost the game in the first 15 mins thanks to Bogdan and Skrtel for the goals. We've come back from a goal down before but two goals killed us.
The fact that I've watched football for about 25 years and writing off a season after what, 18 games? is frankly fools territory. Look at Leicester last season, worse players than us, playing worse, looney manager (albeit good) and what happened? They turned things around, they performed at a higher level for a long time. I've seen it happen before and I'm sure you have too. If you recall, we were once 3-0 behind in a CL final, we looked awful. The rest is history. Don't write us off. We were bloody awful today and we have a lot of mediocre players, however, we have an awesome, ruthless manager, a transfer window approaching, and plenty of games. We have a good shout at the top 4. YWNA.
If we lose against the likes of Newcastle and Watford and only draw against WBA at home, what makes you think we'll go on a run? We made a team like Watford look like a top team. This is how **** our performance was.
Please Jurgen never again start with Firminho as Cf/false 9 with Couts and Lala - it may have worked once but people have now seen it. Anyone fancy 3-4-3 heard a rumour it can be a great formation when a team is struggling and we are now below the level of struggling,
Despite today's performance, Can, Sakho, Henderson, Ibe, Moreno, Clyne, Coutinho and Firmino are all good players who should make up key members of our squad for the next few years. Our team isn't suddenly **** because we played ****. They've just had (another) bad day at the office. Just like under Rodgers, we have some fantastic performances followed by drivel. Klopp's challenge isn't a complete rehaul of the squad, but improving them as individuals and getting some consistency.
Jesus, you guys should get a grip. We lost to a team who are on a fantastic run. That is what happens when you don't play especially well. It does not automatically mean we'll be like this for every game. We've played much better under Klopp, so why can't that form return? Absurd to think we can't string 3,4,5 wins together.
This lot are incapable of playing under any manager, be it Klopp, Rodgers - hell, had Mourinho been our manager he would have been sacked now. What I would love to know is WTF has happened since we undid Southampton 6-1 and beat City 4-1? We play like a bunch of ****ing amateurs and gone back to our old bad habits. The hugs and the love-in between Klopp and the players have to stop now and he has to crack the whip.
Your team and manager under estimated Watford. They play decent football but are very physical and no Liverpool player looked up for it ... they looked like they thought they should get a free kick every time they were tackled You should have started with your most physical players to give Watford players a battle.
