This January we needed to buy a quality Centre back to hold that back line..... wait for it....... we bought Bottom of the Championship Davies who hasn’t played and Nottom of the Bundesliga rookie Kabak...
FSG have been absolute joke owners from the moment we bagged number 6.
Phillips and Kabak (for as mediocre as they both were), weren't the reason we we're incapable of getting another away goal or even getting something like a draw out of there.
They weren't the reason we looked so bereft of ideas, invention or decisiveness up front and completely played into Madrid's gameplan.
All Real Madrid did was watch our Anfield games this season to know what they needed to do to get a result here, and it worked to a "t".
We need a proper Number 9 up front who can actually score goals and doesn't just "bring something else" to the team.
And someone needs to get into Mane's ear and ask him what the fuck his problem is exactly.
He's just been awful not just in this game but this season overall, and particularly in this second half.
But yes, FSG do have their work cut out for them for this summer transfer window.
Are they up to it?
Remains to be seen.
