Not saying it's one guy. He's our only game plan and he's not up to it. I blame the MANAGER. He's been owned today, pure and simple. we got away with it on Wednesday, as Sunderland were dogshit. A half decent (though nothing special) team and we're ****ed. Today should have been about movement, not floating the ball to a guy who doesn't move. And that's it with Benteke - he has one game, and one only, and when he plays we go down to his level.

I blame Klopp for putting his faith in a team full of lily-livered overpaid knobs. If it's true what is rumoured and he doesn't try to fix it this window but waits until the summer then we're in for more of the same until May. I hope he realises he's on a hiding to nothing. It was a terrible display of disjointed lack of teamwork and miscommunication.
 
It is the managers task to build the team. It is his work to manage the squad and ensure the mentality is up to scratch

I can excuse a loss if the effort was top notch but when the players are not putting the required effort the manager is responsible for changing that.

He will have his transfer windows but Klopp needs to buck up the player mentalities because it is not ability that is lacking.
 
And he needs the defence and midfield not to bottle it and concede early on so we're not fighting a losing battle for the rest of the game.

Eh? Us conceding should be of no consequence to the quality of his game. All he can do is score, and he failed to come close. He was dog rough, and even on his good days he only scores when we revert to hoofing crosses to him. Carroll, balotelli, benteke, when will we learn? Anyway, whilst he was ****, And not of the standard we expect of a LFC number 9, we shouldn't forget the rest of the team were gash too.

Coutinho was on some beach in Brazil today, the only bonus is that Barcelona will not be signing this guy anytime soon. But then again, not sure he is worthy of an automatic start anymore for us st this rate!

A midfield of can and Lucas was also a disaster waiting to happen. Lucas' idea of creativity is a 5 yard sideways pass, which pulls forward players like Ibe back into midfield to receive. Klopp should have played Allen.

I have to say I'm worried for us. Klopp seems to think this season can be an experimental write-off, but it's not. It's the prem. And the January window is open and he needs to start remedying the situation ASAP. This is not the bundesliga.
 
It's not his fault. He needs midfielders to go beyond him all the time, and he needs pin point crosses. And he needs everyone else to do his running for him.

And even with all that he can't score open goals half the time. No, it's far, far from being all his fault (he didn't play against Watford). But when he's there we're trying to either punt it to a static Benny from the halfway line, or getting to the edge of the box (or once or twice to the byeline) and have to float it anyway because the **** just runs next to the c/b anyway. He's a Balotelli who is at least trying, but nonetheless he's doing exactly what Sherwood said he'd do for us. We bought him so he'd stop bullying Skrtel, I'm convinced. On that basis we're going to have to buy several more big forwards in this league whether they suit our play or not.

And furthermore if the commentators state blatantly that we have few choices on the bench then to me that says it all. Everyone knows.
