Virgil could do with the rest of the back four joining in. He’s been excellent

Midfield feels like it's missing again..

good half from us..Shame about their goal and the referee at times. need a coupla goals in the second half.

On the plus side you'd rather be able to bring Tsimikas on for Robertson than vice versa - it's an option for the second half.

Tsimikas deserved to play. I know Klopp sees them in training and knows more than we do, but in terms of match performances it's Tsimikas all day at the moment.

I’d never thought of bringing a left back on to change a game, a fwd, winger or midfielder.

Poor treatment again of a player on form.

Decent result to be level at ht.hopefully klopp sorts out a few things and we can function much better in the second half. Not getting on robbos case because I think he’s a great player for us. But that was not good enough 4 or 5 times in good space. Trent scored a great goal but he’s asleep tucked in too tight when that sweeping ball over him is on and dosent react too well when it’s mid flight. Room for improvement

Bit of a Bunny Boiler this one....

[Taksin]

They’ve defended very well but there will be opportunities if we keep working hard.

The block on Sadio was very nearly a goal

HT Decentish half, piss poor goal to give away early door, not enough urgency or variation at times against West Ham with everything behind the ball, Mane and Jota have both had good opportunities to be direct, really drive at their defender, get half a yard and drill one home, Robbo's delivery from the left has been absolutely abysmal, we'd probably be 4-1 if the Greek had been afforded that much time and space to deliver so many times, only thing in Robbo's defence is our forwards aren't making the right runs or runs for him to try and connect most of the time

Over to Jurgen to make sure we're a fair bit better second half, administer a deep penetrating balls deep bumming, get the win and another absolutely vital 3 points, we've got to kick this appalling habit of giving points away as we've given away 8 (EIGHT) already from games we should have won and continuing doing that won't win us the league title

Robertson shit as usual and Ox back to his invisible act after midweek rush of blood to the head.
We needed halftime there.
