Because Lallana and firmino aren't regularly lauded as one of our better players
Lallana at least offers work rate. Coutinho barely offers effort. He's not as good as the likes of pirlo , or xabi, (I know, different positions) who can orchestrate matches at a casual saunter
Sturridge is shit holding the ball up. That is a much bigger problem than Coutinho goes missing in games. We lost the ball time after time in the second half because Sturridge couldn't hold on to it so we could move up the team.
I can understand that.
None of our attacking midfielders are particularly commanding or dynamic and Coutinho is often anonymous. He doesn't have it in him to boss the midfield area, he can pass and shoot but has little use defending high up or tackling. He needs a lot of support and no responsibility to shine. Tonight was a classic example.
Including coutinho too
Well, I believe that Coutinho will be a Liverpool player next season. I doubt that Sturridge will be that. Sturridge was an excellent player before his many injuries but he lost a lot of pace now. He scores a lot of goals but don't offer much else to the team.
I can understand why Klopp bench him.

That's bullshit Andy. Third one was. They were still better overall and better winners but the third one was bang on.
Two of them were definite penalties. The middle one wasn't.
I think the third was but it can no excuse for that second half. We were completely outfought and couldn't get a foothold. From five minutes in it was obvious we were in trouble. Someone needed to step up at that point but nobody did.
Personally I thought that is where Klopp should have stepped in.
And I love the big Kraut
Completely agree. I love the crazy bastard but it was time for a cool head and maybe a tweak to ride out the storm. Never happened.
Next time we go to the pub.
Right?
the problem started before that.....the problem started when ref blew for 2nd half.
we fell asleep right from the off, klopp needs to address the issue.....it's a very costly issue as we've seen tonight.
i want to see a ruthless klopp in summer, if mignolet and moreno allen skrtel and lucas are still here then ???????????????? will be asked.
Ah, your shift button appears to be working.
Fuck iyt8nogo I hats all of you
He's been a revelation for us over the past two seasons but tonight was a real blot on his copybook for sure.
Hopefully he'll use the experience as a real motivation to improve his consistency as a young player and kick onto become the world class player be promises to be.

One was. The one that they didn't seem to ask Howard cunting Webb about at half time. The one where the defender actually scraped his knuckles on the floor trying to prevent a through ball to Lallana (and succeeded)
Not even Kolo?
I think there were three justifiable claims of varying degrees for penalties in the first half.
We have seen all of them given over the years but just as many times not.
For all three not to be given does seem a tad excessive/unlucky though.

Both Brazilian wizzards had a poor game. Even in first half when we had lots of play on their half they went awol. Best South America midfield was Banega. I think he would fit well in to our future
The worst thing was, we did everything exactly right at half time. We walked off with intent to get in the changing rooms and to regroup. Klopp and Sturridge both more or less legged it to the tunnel, and I took that as a good sign. We wanted to get back in there and be professional and to regroup and talk about more of the same for the second half.
Instead, they regrouped and made a few minor positional tweaks which was enough to pen us back and basically undo our pressing philosophy.
Too easy.
Coutinho, Firmino, Lallana ... none have any level of consistency, they're all 1 in 4 or 5 players. That's a problem when they all have an off day together. We need better players, as we all know.
Defensively, as much as Kolo is a ledge, it's a real problem that he's our best defender, it just confirms how mediocre the others are. Apart from Clyne and Matip (albeit an unknown quantity), the back 5 needs a serious rework. No point commenting on Moreno.
A Makelele-a-like in midfield would be nice, and a (proper) class attacking mid is a pre-requisite.
Aside from the wrench of losing the final, I would imagine this is a serious disruption to Klopp's summer plans. Also, should add, I kind of expected a bit more from him as the shit was hitting the fan.
Sevilla are a good footballing side, has to be said.
