Liverpool v Manchester City (Match Thread)

[LFC-DPG]

We are playing 2 centre midfielders at centrehalf, its bound to show against good teams.

Aye, if only we’d got a couple of CB’s this transfer window.

Won't even be another season if it carry's on like this until the end of this one

Klopp will probably go himself

Wouldn't blame him, dortmund probably gave him more money to spend.

Thought we had the better of the first half, with 20 minutes left it could have gone either way, they were hardly raining shots in on our goal left right and centre.
Alisson gifted them the game, not Jurgen.

It was the decisive moment of the game. Klopp has just been shite as a Manager this season people dont want to say it openly as it us sacrilegious so they blame he lowkey in other ways. If we go on matchday threads there is a lot of this one is on Klopp. But not many are willing to call him out. He has been shite this season. Decision making on and off the pitch. The injuries have hidden his inefficiencies this season. Our problem has not been defending it has been attack. Since Jota got injured we have looked limp and devoid of creativity. That 7-0 against Palace fooled Klopp and most. Had Ayew been better we could gave list that game. The first 30 minutes he wanted alot of opportunities and then the floodgates opened. It was a fluke and has shown as the games have gone on.

Exactly. If Klopps made a mistake then last 2 games its not getting his midfielders back into midfield. Weve signed 2 defenders, use them.

Jesus wept.

Why not? Are you happy with what we’ve become?

Let’s not blame the players or owners every chance we get. Fair enough, Alison at fault for all the goals today. Care to suggest who was at fault for us losing the other two at home? Or the mailing at villa? Or the lacklustre draws despite having an okish team to get a win. Give it over Ian, no one is immune from Criticism and a manager who can’t install confidence in his players, or has a decent plan b, then you’d question him.

Yeah, he’s been great for us and sad to see him the way he is, but he’s brought it on himself. The complaining the starting 11 ... I can go on.

Don’t be a prick mate. Just because it’s my own opinion about how I feel he’s performing, doesn’t mean you’re the all knowing top red you think you are

The difference between Man-city and us.. is the movement in midfield. Our midfielders are very static.. The likes of Gudgson(sp). are always moving into little spaces in between. where as our midfielders think a pass side ways is enough..
We do need an attacking midfielder who can run at the back line and do something different. This is where Firmino tries to play back to goal and hold it up. he gets caught in possession way to often and gives the ball away to often. Even in the 2 second minute he almost caused a goal on the counter for Man-city when he failed to pass it side ways and it was cut out.

We all knew we needed centrebacks. The bizarre thing about it was they were bought at the end of January and not the start.

Wonder if Alisson will get the same treatment as Adrian as he has cost us the game

He should do, nobody is above criticism.

[justme]

Is Stevie ready to come take over?

Another season of dross like this and I can easily see FSG deciding to cut their losses and give Klopp his pink slip.

no way do i want Gerrard as manager.. I want Klopp to be given huge funds in the summer.. and buy proper quality not 7 million pound players who end up at Southampton

I know we've got injury's but that bench must be the worst in the top half?
