    Wirtz should be inverted left, Salah right, Ekitike in the 10 and Isak up top. Full backs wide and high. That's the players we have so should be playing to our strengths.

    Salah shouldn't be in the starting 11 as he has done nothing to deserve it this season .

    Maybe swap Chiesa for Salah; no one deserves to play more than the Italian

    If he had a full back drawing a player away from him so that he's not always trying to deal with 2 players he may be doing a little better.

    I see why Klopp liked to have all the summer activity done early and if they didn't come in early he didn't want them.

    Our pre-season was piss poor and trying to integrate during the season is foolish. Robertson didn't start for about 5months when he joined

    The start of our pre-season was also delayed a week

    Shame. Didn’t think we were too bad. Go 1-0 down to a wonder goal. Nice goal back - give Isak benefit that knew exactly what he was doing.

    Then just switched off at the back - holding onto 1-1 with only 2 defenders isn’t ideal. Not sure sure didn’t bring Gomez on instead of Endo so at least had a proper cb or rb.

    Some odd decisions, Isak hit in the face harder than gala player mid week but no pen. Szobo booked for kicking the ball in a 50/50, making no contact but Cucurella going down holding his head.

    Gakpo then being wiped out by Gusto in dangerous area and somehow not a foul.

    Created more then enough chances today, Salah shooting boots missing, Jones shocking effort late on and unfortunately Robbo couldn’t make anything when got into box.

    Then one switch off in last minute again.

    he is regularly 1v1 and done little apart from move inside and balloon a shot over / wide and the occasional decentish cross

    Not saying it was a pen, but the hand in the face from Reece.on Gakpo, was pretty much the same as the one that was given against Dom vs.Galatasary in the CLq
