Liverpool v Manchester City - Match Thread

Not open for further replies.
Jesus Christ.

See your post earlier on "Pre-match when I was shouted down" ... I'll happily eat humble pie if I'm wrong, but he's going to struggle big time and because of who he is, he won't be dropped as that's not Klopp's managerial style.
 
Klopp's system is awesome but before we had a settled defence we had some chaotic results, so now the defence is a mess again why hasn't Klopp altered the system to accommodate until we can get VVD and Gomez back. We are playing like we still have VVD and Gomez still.
 
Leicester next away Saturday 12:30 pick yourselves up red men and get the top 4 back on track but change the defence klopp.
 
I think runs are there but midfield and defense stop playing them in, it’s less but current midfield as a combo is awful.
Mate our attack virtually stood still today. They waited for Robbo and TAA to make runs up the wing yet the passes were there to be made from midfield if the runs had been made when we won turnover. Instead they stayed in front of the defenders and it ended up getting recycled ... as has been the case in recent matches too.
 
Didnt know you did these knee jerk posts mate? This was awful.

I've watched him since he's come back from injury ...
I'm not impressed with what he adds to the team - he's a brilliant player for the right team, but considering how we've won the league with our midfield, things have to be adjusted to accommodate him, which I don't think is a luxury we have considering realities this squad faces.
 
I hope for Nat Phillips' sake he goes and signs for another Premiership club at the end of the season, because he's been treated like utter shite. He's been great when he's played, but gets dropped for midfielders plugging gaps. Klopp has shit out of some big decisions all season.

Hey LTW, is that the vaccine side effect? 😉
There are many more reasons to be worried about than Thiago at the moment...

These 2 subs just broke our momentum, Klopp is having his Rafa moments lately with his substitutions

Oddly enough, I'd have rather he started today and been given a break against Leicester.
But yes, Klopp fucked up today with his CBs ...
 
Our problems today weren't at CB, and they might have well been if we'd played two newcomers against that lot.
Actually our problems WERE at CB. Defo for the first goal and the penalty. Maybe also the 4th (because VvD would have been covering Robbo)? However it stems from CB because our best midfielders were stuck there instead of where they should have been .. now we have actual experienced CBs (who were on the bench).

Oh and we lost 1-4. You think it would have been worse ?!

And I thought he'd learned about playing players when they are unfit? Fabinho and Alisson clearly weren't at the races today.

Whether klopps in his own head I don't know, but he's making some fucking mad decisions this season.

I would have played Phillips today. Kabak and Davies it came too soon for, but Phillips has been good. He couldn't have done much worse

7 days to get the 2nd one ... but yes, I've grown an extra nipple.
It's odd.
 
CB is the main concern with the way we have been playing. having to use Herderson and Fab takes away from midfield where last season we bossed that area this season it is like we have a gaping hole there, and very little in terms of quaility to fill it, and as a result the front three are having to live on scraps...

Been saying it forever now, Sell the deadwood,The Ox,Origi and Shaqiri, and even if it is One Quality Player buy him...

Beginning to question if we will see Mane here next season
 
And I thought he'd learned about playing players when they are unfit? Fabinho and Alisson clearly weren't at the races today.

That's only for the 14-16 players he actually trusts.
When a team is healthy and the world is sane, it works ... as we've seen.
When things are as they are now (injuries, VAR, form etc), you have to change the style imo and Klopp has just not adapted.
I honestly hope he's here next year to rectify this blip (I hope it is) but I think that only happens if we finish top 4 ... and I'm not sure this team is capable of that.
 
We're not winning the title and we are challenging for a CL place, so we may as well start bedding in players ahead of next season. Get at least Henderson back in midfield, play a defender alongside Fabinho, have a rethink about Firmino.

Rurik's one of the site's gems ... and he says he was good today in the 1st half.
personally, I think he's become a 5/10 players most games and isn't good enough to start week in, week out.
Klopp loves him ... but I think he should be the first dropped when JOta gets back.
