missed most of the match, but lol v 10 men from the 24th min, midfield has no spark creativitiy as usual, and we fire blanks without salah.

what a surprise

Shite.

Apart from the obvious nonsense on here, the vast majority can clearly see the shortcomings in the squad , but more importantly where the game play is wrong (not working tonight after 15 mins). Yet we still persisted with a shape that was useless.
Klopp kept this for the whole game, he apparently insists we play the sideways-backward, one wing to the other, uses the backs and midfield to force the ball to the wings .....WHY? when there is no attacker in the box?
Klopp may be an inspirational manager, but he does not convince me he is a exceptional coach.

Klopps drawback is not having tactical flexibility and adapting the tactics/shape in games.

Great guy, great man manager and coach imo.

Hard to criticise him but when I do it's around tactics and adapting.

I agree CD, Williams warmed to his task after a couple of nervous early touches. Without being exceptional he certainly had more positive affect on the game than Trent had.

Last season after he had covid he was poor for 3 months hopefully not this time !

All 3 who came off had covid in the last week too it really isnt an easy virus to shake off.

Im not excusing the performance it was shit I mean people can blame Klopp but on the field you need to up the tempo we didnt we made it so easy for Arsenal.

It is game on next week hard to call as you dont know who will be available with injury/covid

Thought they were false positives ?

Yeah they all had that 5% chance

to be fair I got my dad to do a test for a few days off work (he was positive), my PCR has come back negative now so i have to go to work

[Insidious]

Shame there's no away goals rule.

Would have been nice going into the second leg knowing a draw would get the job done.

Oh well.
