We've still been bereft of ideas for the entire 90.
Yeah that 1 goal has really got our fucking tails up
bar one pass to diaz, he's been utter utter shit.
hopefully he gets one medal this season mind you.
Like I said earlier in the thread - this is us reaping what we have sown from a lack of rotation and ultimately inactivity in the transfer market.
Is it just me who's watched this team the last 3 months and is thinking how in the living fuck are they 12 points clear at the top of the PL? I mean, I'm REALLY glad we are, but man, it's a puzzle.
It’ll be another 50 years before they win another trophy
As good as we were the first half of the season, we've been as bad the back half.
Yeah that's been my main thought of the last two hours also
We need to move on from the front 3 who started tbh. Salah however is arguably the one I'd want out least, as we know he can offer something.
I sincerely hope Slot gives Chiesa a proper run out from this point on.
Honestly maybe rivals had a point when they said that we looked quite ordinary and we've been lucky this season.
I'm sorry but the treatment of Chiesa is criminal. He's clearly good enough to have occasionally filled in for fucking DIAZ and JOTA, ffs.
I think it's oblivious we're a good team, that has performed well ahead of where it should be due to - primarily - salah's brilliance.
But the last 2 weeks have shown us how far we have to go to be a team that was as good as Klopp's great teams.

No complaints there, we never really got going.
Newcastle were more urgent all through.

Newcastle have a very good midfield, a decent striker and the rest of their team is just sort of solid, nothing remarkable. They're so much more physical than us, and they wanted this so much more. We can beat them if we are sharp and confident and technical and have lots of energy. This midfield is none of that at the moment, and our attack is so jaded.
Slot should have brought something different to this game, and did anything but. He's mismanaged the last few games, not just in terms of tactics, but yes, definitely them, but in terms of motivation.
We've been playing a very negative game for a while, and we've lost the ability and confidence to do anything else.
This break is a good one, presuming half our squad don't return injured.

Well ... None of us know much about why he's not playing.
I still assume it's fitness. I don't want to believe it's something stupid on Arne's part (like a Rafa type stubbornness).
I doubt him playing more would have made a difference overall (think of his game against Plymouth for example).
I'd love for someone to pull his stats over the past two season with/without Trent.
That might be a real indicator as to what we should do.
Exactly, to me this is Slot on a power trip.
Spot on, Salah is nothing without Trent.
Edit: OK thats way to strong, but Trent makes him better.
