Yes

3 wins in our last 9, apparently.
Lallana is bad luck - have believed this since the penalty shoot out in that cup final against City. It's just he way it is - some players are bad luck
There has been the odd mention that we'll click soon and give someone a hiding, imo an embarrassingly shit performance like this was just as likely.
I hate that cliche. We won't 'click' unless we radically improve in just about every area.
It's bollox - we have the players - it's just not working because of the coaching/methodology right now. Clearly he is asking them to play a different way which is less exhausting .
Got to be Studge for the miss from 5m. Changed the game.Glad I missed it
Who's our sacrificial lamb tonight?
Why 2 clear goals ? On head to heads it's aggregate that counts. So whatever happens away in Paris if we win at home to Napoli we're through whatever the scoreline.Maths is pretty simple.
Beat PSG next week and through (so long as Napoli beat RSB)
Lose to PSG, and if Napoli beat RSB, we'll need to beat Napoli at home by 2 clear goals to go through (on H2H with Napoli).
I agree with your other points but there was nothing arrogant about leaving him out -if you do mean Shaq? - in this situation. Arsenal did the same with their player in a similar context last year. It was a sensible decision, and it's the fault of the authorities and their ineffectual protection that it needed to be made.
I just had a flashback to the 90/91 season - a season we started, as champions, very strongly with 8 straight wins (would have been 13 if the linesman at Norwich hadn't wrongly adjudged the ball to have gone out of play as we "scored" the goal that would have made it 2-1) , and were undefeated in 14 games.
Then we went to Highbury and Dalglish put out a team with four fullbacks (Burrows, Nicol, Ablett, Venison), and, of course, no Beardsley, and we got twatted 3-0. That was the day I started to think Kenny was losing it a bit ...
We ended that season with no Dalglish and no title, and have not won it since.
God - I'm getting negative these days. Cheer me up someone!

Oh God - I also remember that Boro game clearly. Not that I was at it or even watching it, but I was on our last weekend away with my lad as an only child, 2 weeks before his sister was born. I was in the hotel pool with him that afternoon and they had the local radio station piped in, with score updates.There was a similar time under Houllier in 2002
If memory serves me correctly, we'd finished 4th, 3rd and then 2nd in the 3 seasons prior. So many were sort of expecting us to make the final step and finish 1st in the 2002/2003 season.
Everything started really well, by November we were top of the table. Then we went to Middlesbrough, Dudek fumbled a cross for them to score the winner, and we literally fell flat and never recovered after that. The next 18 months were dreadful, and Ged was eventually replaced by Benitez.
I think that was more a case of Houllier's dreadful football finally catching up with him. Don't think it will happen to Klopp.
That would probably work.Think about that fully signed LFC football I kindly sent you that you donated to your local school. In my mind that means both of us are super cool. 🙂
Also if anyone wants Tom's address it's hilariously. Tom Brown, Ireland. 😀
I actually think you guys are being too harsh on Lallana. I think he was great yesterday. Pressed the ball holder, ran his legs off and also showed glimpses of his world class technique and creativity. I really think Klopp should keep playing him, he's a great option to have in the squad and might just give us some of that Coutinho-esque magic from time to time.
Its ok mate at sometime today you should get a response from @LeTallecWiz ... he usually finds good points in a shit performance...shit that you obviously misswd...and then @Oncy will come on here to cheer you up...no doubt he will re assure you the next game will be different as Klopp will play @Oncy 's cock up front and in midfield. Nothing will get passed that !!!
Feel happy now ?
That's not a nice thing to say. We should get behind all of our players. They're doing their best!You really can be boring Modo.

Klopp's use of the word 'distraction' was clearly a proxy for 'safety'.If there was serious concern about safety, I would fully support it.
However, from what I read - and please correct me if I'm wrong - it was about 'distraction' that his presence would cause ... If that meant 'safety', I take back my criticism.
