    He gave the impression that he’d rather be anywhere else but that pitch.

    In the first half gomez.and vvd went hiding too far back but the 3.cms.have no depth and it's like walking though an open door getting past them.

    At least thaigo stuck a foot in when he came.on.

    It's firstly **** when a proper playmaker is the only guy willing to get stuck in


    Matip did alright. Just alright.

    The whole thing was half hearted though.

    Diaz again, once allowed get in some sort of postion worked and responded.

    Trent, ****ing joke. Be a full back and do the job or **** off now. Simple as


    Seriously seriously poor

    It was built around Virgil. people are going on about his injury, but I'm convinced he's got even more slower this season than he did when he came back last year.

    Just can't get a #matchthreadgenius any more mate. Maybe we've set the standard too high?

    It was understable when we pressed, but we no longer do to a great extent.

    However anothef issue is teams know if they press us we fall to bits.

    We've surely got to see a change un tactics sooner rather than later

    We're almost as bad as the VVD injury season, and tbf he's only playing slightly better than that season himself!

    Same old same old - lose the ball doing a Hollywood pass three-quarters up the pitch, then ambles back nonchalantly as if nothing in the world could be important.

    Problem is, the high line doesn’t work if midfielders have time on the ball. Give any professional footballer time and they can play a simple ball behind our defence.

    it used to be wed play high, press the defence and midfield so they had no time and would lose it or just whack it clear and we’d win it back.

    Now opposition play it through our half arsed forward press and they’re into midfield with space and time because Hendo Milner fab Elliott aren’t/can’t get close to them and leaves them time to turn on the ball move forward and pick out runs of the wide players or second midfield runners.

    I've never liked him in midfield - I think he creates far more from the wing - but his reluctance to do the defensive work is unforgivable. I think he's caught up in his own myth and needs a boot up the arse.

    I feel sorry for Klopp. His players have let him down this season. He also has not been backed by FSG. FSG will pay up for some world class players but if you want to stay competitive, investment needs to be at a level they simply do not seem to understand. We need some quality reinforcements in midfield but clearly, FSG we’re not prepared to spend and we see an ageing squad with some sick notes waiting to bugger off on a free next summer. We have had a great few seasons apart from the hiatus with the injury crisis with the CBs. It is going to be a difficult season

    What’s the criteria for making an emergency signing? Feel like our performances are a bit of an emergency atm

    Maybe Klopp is aiming to win the only trophy left he hasn’t won
