Granted, but not all their fault, no imagination by forwards to give options for wingers

I don't actually think Liverpool are as good as they have been.

It's time Pep went. This is unacceptable. Can't see him turning up around next season.

If Doku needs a lift to Barcelona I’m happy to take him.

I skipped the game and still I am upset.

Out of curiosity, because I think it was the same side to side passing nightmare, did we have at least one chance?

That was embarrassing.

It is not the deeats that bother me,they happen.

It is the lack of effort ,the don't give a shit vibe all through the team. And the supposed top tier manager who can play only one way.

Yep, bee n on the slide a while using tactics most managers find easy to counter. The quality of teams frustrating us and getting a result doesn't have to be high

I think that’s all we can ask for at the moment. Some players actually not good enough for us, some too old and should have left already, some just don’t want to be there - but at least give 100% ffs!

Liverpool doubled up on Doku very effectively in the second half. Play forward more quickly? Just lose the ball and the red hordes are on us in a flash. Blaming Nico is completely unfair. As I predicted at the beginning he was going to be left alone to deal with counters. We’re shit out of possession. Against the better teams we need a double pivot. Playing two wingers against dodgy full backs was a good idea but without Haaland much less effective. Kudos to Khusanov who looks the real deal.

The only thing I took from that is khusanov is going to be a player for us.
Apart from that, it was horrible.
This season cannot end soon enough.

Why was our main tactic give it to Doku when 9 games out of 10 he’s shite, 1 he’s good and no in between with him. Step over drag back , up a blind alley , hit first defender and then fix your hair walking back.

Too many coasting along and no bollox to try and turn it around. You wonder do any of them call them out like Fernandinho or Kompany would. Real lack of balls and character this season.

Sadly I predicted a 2 nil defeat. Liverpool might have had some luck in getting both goals but at the end of the day, an early gift from a player is a common theme. Dippers not having to try too hard and we are pretty toothless. KDB, Gundo, Foden, Silva, Grealish are all coasting. Some can't do it, some can but aren't putting the effort in. And then there are players that don't fit. Lewis, Doku.
No semblance of a cohesive team, common thought or application. Back to the drawing board pep. Complete rethink required

Sly clowns spouting their usual shite. "It feels like anything is possible for this Liverpool side this season". Quadruple? No. Domestic quad? No. Treble? No. Invincibles? No. 100 points? No. What utter bullshit. :lol:
Balotelli......that's a brilliant finish.
