I haven't seen the game or many of the highlights on TV, so I can't go into any in-depth analysis, but here goes:
We weren't very good and deservedly lost. We don't have enough genuinely good players; we don't have enough pace; we don't have enough goalscorers; our defence is a fucking comedy show.
We created almost nothing and only several great saves, good challenges, poor finishing from City and refereeing errors saved us from a very heavy beating. Klopp needs at least £100m and four new players this summer. That's a bare minimum.
Mignolet (3) I despair at some of the people giving him credit in MOM threads. He made several very good saves. Great. But he also allowed a ridiculous shot to go through him for their goal. So FUCK his other saves. If Mignolet makes three great saves and one cataclysmic error that leads to a goal, that means he's a shit fucking goalkeeper. Which he is. The most error-prone keeper in the league. Fucking useless cunt. Why the fuck Klopp gave him a fat new long contract is a fucking mystery, and the first black mark against him for me.
Moreno (4) Tonnes of energy and attacking effort, but very little quality end product, sadly. As for his actual job, being a defender, he was below average and lucky not to concede a penalty.
Sakho (3) Harsh to score him based on so little game time, but that's a fair enough reflection on his thankfully limited time on the pitch. He was totally humiliated by Aguero - along with Lucas - for the effort Mignolet touched onto the post, and his concussion was a hard call to make, given that he plays like a tranquillised horse with head trauma at the best of times, so I don't know how anyone could tell.
Lucas (7) Sadly, his near decade long stint at the club has once again yielded nothing. One could correctly argue that his very presence in the side - even if he can only get a game at CB these days - is a clear indicator that we aren't likely to win anything, because if Lucas is in then team, that's never a good sign as to its overall quality, but he was our best performer yesterday. He was lucky with one ridiculous challenge, and left looking silly by Aguero on one or two occasions, but overall looked the most composed defender on the pitch. In red, anyway. Man Of The Match.
Clyne (6) Dogged and determined, he had his hands full with Sterling's pace and strength and coped well. Did very little of note in an attacking sense.
Can (6) He got through a lot of work, and made some nice interceptions, but still made some odd tactical decisions and never really looked like making a decisive difference
Henderson (5) Lots of running about, as usual. Not much actual influence, also as usual. He looked fitter, but passing was not good enough.
Milner (6) He is a decent player, but he badly needs to be in a midfield that uses him as the workhorse and others to make that creative spark and dash of brilliance. But he isn't. Set-piece delivery not great.
Coutinho (6) Never stopped trying to make things happen, even if he was obviously not at his best. Most of his final balls were disappointing. Extra point for the goal.
Sturridge (6) Some great link-up play and skill, but not often enough in areas that made a difference. Didn't play centrally enough, and often wasn't in the box early enough to be a threat.
Firmino (4) I don't know what he is, or where he's supposed to be playing. False 9? He was just wandering around the pitch 40 yards from goal. No pace, penetration or goal threat. He is nowhere near good enough to play such a central and important role in our attack. as evidenced by the fact that he has scored a grand total of 6 goals in all competitions this season. Shite.
