Match Thread FA Cup: Man City v Liverpool

[Steveo]

I'm not missing anything. The comment was that the players aren't good enough. That's patently not true.

The manager obviously isn't up to it.

But he was last season right? No Jozza he wasn't. Just like most managers wouldn't be winning anything close to 97 and 99 points with the squad Klopp had. As almost no other manager takes Dortmund to 2x pip Bayern to the title.

Embarrassing. Liverpool players attempting to get Slot sacked?

Players only care about themselves at the end of the day.. Look at our Captains body language,, its been like that all season. the silly little balls that he kicks out from defence. that go 10 yards..
Konate is on 150 grand a week already and thinks he deserves more before he signs up . In what world is he worth more than that??

And we can’t even take our gift of a penalty

This is a tragedy. only positive is we can't be worse v PSG.. This lot owe the fans a performance

I'm switching an LFC game off for the first time I can ever remember. At least with a manager who didn't get us a PL like Rafa, we would find the intensity for the bigger games against a Utd,Chelsea,clubs in the CL at that time. I'm more than half expecting us to roll over at Everton shortly and that will be the limit. Manager and squad who look as thought they just can't be bothered.

Ditto. Every team loses games, but it's how you lose, how often you lose, and whether you can see or feel that any issues you're having are being addressed. There's nothing we can hang out hat on.

Were getting pumped by a sub par Man City team. I dread to think what the score is going to be in both the individual games against PSG and the aggregate score. A double figure aggregate defeat is a distinct possibility.

Our squad is threadbare, when you are forced to play Wirzt and Jones in midfield..I dunno which one is supposed to be on the left?? We probably tried to play in numbers in midfield. but have no width and Salah offers nothing on the other side

They have owed the fans a lot more than 1 performance surely?

[Insidious]

We don’t even look fit.

Been an issue for a bit chunk of the season.

Would love to know what the fitness plan was at the start of the season, in terms of conditioning.

Under Benitez and Klopp we often saw the lads conditioned to be fitter for the second half of the season. The lads have looked absolutely gassed for big chunks of 25/26 - some of that will be certain players getting too many minutes, but there's more to it than that.

No he wasn't here last season. But funnily enough the players were.

There's no downplaying Jurgen's contribution, he deserves all the plaudits he gets and you're right we don't get anywhere near 95+ points with Jurgen.

But at the same time he wouldn't be replicating the success if he had team full of cabbages.

You need both good players and a good manager to be successful. We have one of the two at the moment.
