The appalling and unjustified arrogance before the game was palpable, but my concern was heightened when I saw the team sheet. It made me very nervous. We lost and deserved to lose, too. The entire team looked lacklustre and Lacking in pace and creativity, and we simply played too slowly and without any real threat.
Mignolet (6) didn't do much wrong but again looked less than secure when the ball is in and around his area.
Clyne (7) our best player so far this season and had another good game
Skrtel (5) another OG add to his collection. Cisse gave him a busy afternoon
Lovren (7) some valuable interceptions and clearances and was, for once, the better player in the partnership
Moreno (5) scored a valid goal ruled out wrongly, and was very industrious. Made several poor decisions in defence though, and that cost us.
Lucas (3) passing was slow, inaccurate and lacked any attacking impetus. Was made to look about 100 years old by Wijnaldum. Appalling. We need to buy a decent DM. He repeated for the millionth time since Mascherano left.
Allen (4) in his last season as a Liverpool player, thank fuck. A dismal, peripheral ghost, floating unhappily around the pitch, not even capable of scaring anyone or even saying 'boo'. Fuck off Joe.
Milner (5) played like his infamous Twitter account
Ibe (5) our most dangerous player, hilariously. Sadly every single decision he made was wrong and/ or stupid, to the point that if he'd been asked if he wanted a blowjob from Myleen Klass, or a grenade wrapped in barbed wire shove up his arse, he would have said 'ooh, grenade please. Deffo. Is it live? Boss'
Firmino (3) that's 29m well spent. No pace, no goal,threat, created nothing, and simply wandered about looking halfwitted.
Benteke (4) we'd have been better served giving Purple Aki a game. At least he's quite scary and people avoid him.
