Why the fuck Klopp chose Hendo over Fabinho, I have no idea. Arm flapping aside he's done SFA. Passing from MF to the forwards has stunk the place up too ; Milner, Firmino, Gini and Hendo all to blame.
Klopp needs to rejig that midfield.
I said the obvious pre match, over and over, that City are going to overload on TAA and that's where all the problems are coming from with Silva, Sane, B Silva and Aguero all combining to get through time and again.
Robbo has done superbly against Sterling/Aguero etc. so far.

Both teams two shots one on target.
I dunno, I guess I'm talking about the occasions where a good touch and decisive action with the ball would've seen him come away with it rather than losing it.
You don't get time or space in games like these - we need to be a lot better.
Sounds right, one of ours nearly crossed the line and the other hit the post. We'll get more chances, just need to take them.
I'm not defending Hendo here, but Fabinho struggled against a fast paced Arsenal last week, this City team are twice as fast, it was the right call.
1 goal down away to the champions after the first half.
Let's see what our lads are made of.

I bet you hope they are made of coconuts?
I don't think Stones kicking the ball at Ederson can count as a shot for us.
Henderson gosta go, yo.
Let's fucking take them this half
No, it clearly wasn't. Fabs has far more control and he didn't struggle vs. Arsenal, he made 2-3 poor passes in the first 20 mins and then controlled the midfield with Gini. Klopp should have stuck with the double pivot and then played whoever he liked ahead of them (preferably Milner on the RM to help out TAA).
Yeah, I'm not sure that benching Fabinho was a mistake, but we do need someone like him in the 2nd half, able to take a few steps forward with the ball and pick out a forward pass under pressure. Our midfield 3 has been too cautious and that starved the front 3.
I'm weirdly chill about this, sticking to my 2-2 prediction
Suggest you go and look at his isolated performance. You are mistaken.
Do people really think that any midfield pair that could have been picked would have guaranteed us look better in midfield than them? That's a bit silly. They are a pretty decent team, and it's the weakest part of our team, one that is still a bit up in the air (pun intended).
Red falls over in our keeper area. Odd how he didn’t give Citah a penalty.
The passing this half is dreadful.
I think you know (we all know) that Milner, Henderson and even with Gini in there its our most pedestrian uncreative midfield three. Its small wonder the front three are having to come so deep, nothing is linking.
Would we definitely win with a Keita or Shaq in midfield? No, but we would at least be on the front foot.
This is a ‘dont lose’ midfield three. And its not working.
We are conceeding more unless we change this.
