Thought we were pretty good first half, much more solid and organised and created some good chances - really ought to have been 2 or 3 up. Never looked like scoring second half.
This team is broken, as is the Club in general. Feels like a long way back for Jurgen's Reds.
I thought we weren’t completely awful in the first half.
You really get the sense that Klopp & his team have identified the problem as being, rightly or wrongly, in the forward line, rather than midfield, with that central role the one we’re mostly deficient in.
I reckon, for all the talk of Firmino still thinking about a new contract, he’s told Klopp he’s off in the summer and Gakpo has been brought in as a replacement.
Nunez played on the left when he first came on, but I think Klopp changed it round late on, moving Gakpo out wide - I think when Jones came on - didn’t make us any better.
The stats are pointing to our problems starting in the forward line with the press collapsing without Mane leading it - exposes the midfield who are too easy to play through and then you’re at our high back line which is leaving all that space in behind it.
I really think Klopp is trying to fix the front line before the midfield - and for most of the game it worked ok - if Mo had been on form and, despite his good finish, Mane or Diaz would have bagged a second (probably).
As much as we need new midfielders (and we do), it’s just going to be younger people looking more energetic while getting ripped through with ease if the forward line doesn’t get fixed.
