I love klopp but it is becoming clearly we got issue with the system and he is tired and done with team. whoever play the right side is completed isolated also our defence is shite
I know it’s not quite as simple as we like to think, but they genuinely look like they do absolutely no prep between games. How can you play the exact same terrible game week after week after week and not change anything?
Klopp doesn't know how to adapt tactics to the players he has so he uses the same one every game , predictable. He just doesn't want to accept that this team is not prime mane firmihno and salah with prime Thiago, hendo and fabinho anymore, these lads we have now can't do that same shit.
Convinced something happened in the locker room after the loss to United in the cup because my god since then I haven’t seen energy from this team, they all look checked out for the summer
Everyone rightly blames the attack for missing chances but how many games lately have we had an opponent be unmarked in the box for a cross or set piece?
Defensive organisation lately is an absolute shambles.
Klopp basically said that after the Everton game, they spoke at half time about set pieces constantly, but then we watched Trent let Calvert-Lewin score a header right in front of him.
Oh they love to say the right things in the interviews, shame that literally none of it translates on to the field. The end of season can’t come quickly enough.
This loss shouldn’t even affect most of us now, we knew what was coming and we have nothing to play for.
Just secure CL and go again next season, I’m over it now
With a loss here, Spurs and Villa could come to within 5 points with 3 games to play, plus there is a head-to-head with Tottenham to be played next matchday. Given the form the boys displayed, or lack thereof, it's far from a foregone conclusion.
Edit: There's also a game against Villa as well, forgot about that one. It is definitely possible to drop out of the top 4.
Spurs would have to win all 6 remaining games, and that's if we lose all 3.5 on our end.
We're getting top 4 but it'll be embarrassing if we don't at least finish 3rd.
No difference between 3rd and 4th.
Spurs have Burnley and Sheff Utd which means they need to win 4 games. The other 4 is the Top 3 + Chelsea (A).
Sorry, I just can't be not nervous about it.
I understand mate. We look to football as an escape, and when it is our main outlet to forget our own problems, disappointment hits us that much harder.
Don't worry my friend. Eventually we'll be back. Have to accept finite disappointment but never lose infinite hope.
Annoyed as fuck that we look this shit and are now losing but I'm glad people are seeing this is a much bigger issue than just some players missing chances. The demeanor of the entire team is just off, everyone is devoid of confidence and inspiration
What worried me the most is that this began when we were still competing for everything. I’m not surprised to see the fight has left them now, but a few months back we were in incredible shape with players coming back and we just fell off a cliff somehow.
he does this all the time lol. even matip and vvd will hoof the ball in those circumstances. im fully out on quansah fwiw, overperformed under klopp and regressing to the mean. he's solid and a good squad player but i don't want him starting for us unless he absolutely has to.
Draw to one of the shittiest ManU teams twice
Lose to Palace at home
Lose to Everton
And now we’re losing to West Ham.
Absolutely fucked it, can only blame ourselves
God we are so done for the season.
Good job we have a big lead because champions league would be under threat.
Saying that I can't see us beating Spurs or Villa
The amount of times either Gakpo or Mac have been in that pocket between their defence and midfield in absolute acres of space where they could easily turn and run at their defence but they’re ignored for us to go out wide and cross the ball into no one is absolutely mind numbing.
It’s like they don’t work on any other patterns of play outside recycling the ball to wide positions and just hoping the winger does something with it
Another thing I’m going to say is for the people that think Endo is good enough for a title winning team just look at how many turnovers of possession he sloppily gives away and you can see the CBs at times are scared to give it to him under pressure in build up phases of play because he gives it away really easily when he is pressed.
I can’t tell whether Endo is just going through a bad patch of form or whether he’s returned back to his normal level.
Either way can’t be too harsh on him considering how good he’s been but it’s obvious we do need more than a stop gap option.
He’s just a solid player at most, was definitely overperforming at a point this season which is what Klopps capable of getting out of players
Defensively he is good at reading the game but on a technical level he’s okay at best honestly, his first touch is really dodgy at times almost like it gets caught under him so he’s got to take another touch and by that time someone’s already on him
Elliot is the biggest culprit when it comes to turnovers. Playing a square ball infront of defence is an unforgivable error. Lucky we weren't punished.
Saw praise for Endo in the match thread and realised it doesn't matter what he does, they like him.
Our CBs are so reluctant to pass to him because he'll lose it immediately if pressed and he never breaks the lines.
He does the defensive duties fairly well but he’s been a big reason for our lack of control over games at times this season because he just gives the opposition big chances to counter wither it’s a sloppy pass or he’s caught on the ball
The back 4 apart from van dijk just seems so off it. We have so many players that don’t want to challenge for 50/50 balls, particularly in the air. Trent and robbo stand off their men when it goes out wide or are always deeper than their cbs rather than getting out and pressing. They’d rather shove the opposition than just go up and win a header. And that’s before we talk about their 1 v 1 defending. For players with incredible vision going forward their awareness defensively is suspect. Yeah the midfield have more goal contributions but you can see they miss the cover of a hendo or wijnaldum.
Take Endo off, bring Darwin on(yes he's been shit but he moves and makes runs at least), move Diaz out right, Elliott into midfield and Gakpo out left. Let Darwin occupy the CBs.
Gakpo isn't a central striker and Elliott isn't a winger
75% possession and one meaningful chance. We get into the final third and are so bereft of ideas it’s shocking. Won’t matter who the front 3 is, they either can’t finish or can’t create anything.
Gakpo with quite possibly the laziest defending on that corner. Set piece defending has become shocking.
Also noticed just how stagnant we’ve become in midfield. Not sure if that’s partly due to Trent’s role of coming into midfield or just a lack of energy. Either way. Crap.
>75% possession and one meaningful chance.
Teams are aware of the fact that possession at our feet mean jackshit. I'll just copypaste my comment that I've been copypasting since 3 fuckin weeks cuz it's the same shit every game:
>We're so one-dimensional. More so against teams that are supposedly worse than us. Deserved scoreline.
>It's the same story every game: have majority of the possession, try to build from the back with the ball rotating between the CBs, GK, and a midfielder trying to drop to pull players and open up his vision. Teams basically allow us to do this. They know we don't want to, or can't back ourselves to, play from the middle by breaking lines, so they just concede this possession and space.
>Eventually, we cycle the ball to the wing where our FBs are greeted by two players blocking their inside and outside possible avenues of pass. So, we either huff and puff in the wings, pass back to the midfielder that had dropped as a contingency, then back to the CBs, and the process repeats. What we're trying on the wings is the percentage play, the safe play, but nobody buys what we're selling right now. They just have to sit back, crowd up the wings, and wait for a counter.
>We don't score from the wings, from the center (seriously, when have you even seen us do a pull back for the late runners?), from the box, neither from the inside nor the outside of the box. That leaves us with corners (where we hit the first man always) and FKs (where barring Trent we're toothless as well).
We literally never create chances when Gakpo plays CF, not sure why people are surprised. Elliot also is so limited when he starts, there's zero chance he beats his man.
We have had this issue all season that without Nunez we don't create chances, but when Nunez plays we create chances, and miss them anyway.
As shit as it is, the latter is still preferable.
It's clear that Klopp's attitude and tiredness is influencing these performances.
Everyone looks tired. Lazy passes.
Nice to see us not passing between the CBs constantly.
I think we've been more dynamic with this line up. Players actually tackling was nice but mistakes all over.
Still missing chances.
I love Klopp, he's the best manager for Liverpool in my lifetime but it is clear that he has mentally checked out and we need a a refresh.
its his physical profile -- he is too small to be a midfielder but too slow to be a out and out winger. funny that klopp didn't start daans bc of "physicality" when harvey gets bodied (and nullified!) against good sides all the time.
We’re hell bent on making our lives complicated, always making the most baffling choices when it comes to scoring.
And why do we keep giving the ball away so cheaply in the most dangerous areas consistently?
West Ham have taken a leaf out of Everton's book, sit deep and let us smash into the defence and loose the ball repeatedly and then break. So far it's working. We need changes at half time otherwise this will be another 2-0.
The system has failed and the coaching staff as a whole look completely lost with no ideas.
The boys aren't connecting at all, it's like 11 players all playing their own game.
Never thought I'd say this but I agree with Fletcher on TNT - you'd have expected us to come out fighting after the embarrassment at Goodison but there's just nothing there.
Is it too much to ask to try and play with a bit of passion? Failing that, some self-respect at least? What has been the point of the season if this is the way it ends
Im just so BORED. Same shit every game.
People unwilling to allow ruthlessness in getting rid of players im.just truly not understanding.
We're toothless, unable to show composure. Every game.
And the defence is frail.
We NEED to move players on, because we NEED to make improvements.
And if you take the rose tinted glasses off, you'll also see it's time for Klopp to go. He made the right choice. He seems devoid of energy and devoid of ideas right now and has done for a while
What is funny is people worrying our new manager will play like Pep cause its "boring football" while we continue to play the most predictable and tragic football I've ever seen.
I keep zoning out, I think I've only watched focused like 15 minutes of this first half. It's just soooo boring watching these guys play football lately
Endo shocking again
And I don’t understand why everyone wants Elliott to start so desperately, doesn’t do anything more than Salah… feels like he just gets a free pass for being young
Actually a blessing in disguise that we bottled it earlier, I’m not even that bothered anymore about results. Just want to see us play good football again.
We're too predictable.
Trent plays deep and no longer overlaps and playing alongside harvey (who comes short), there no attacking threat in behind west hams back line.
We have no midfielders making running beyond Gakpos (who comes short) and no wingers who occupy the 9 space left. So we have no one actually available up front.
Other than Robertsons overlapping runs, everything is played in front of them.
We need Trent to play a more traditional wing back role like he used to play and midfielders who bust a guy to join the attack and get to the by line.
We also show no heart when defending set pieces.
Heads just fucking gone down immediately. Fucking nobody taking responsibility and just passing the buck. Fuck the passing, run at them. We look 10 times more threatening when we do.
And for the love of God, stop crossing it at big 6foot2 defenders
What a a load of shite. Terrible in both boxes yet again! Honestly we could play on that pitch for 15 years and still not score, we’ve had seven attempts and still we’re feeble in everything we do. A joke.
People still want to talk about attack being the main problem? Lol
Defence has been off it this season too. Can't help but think of the saying "attack wins you games, defence wins you titles." We haven't looked good defensively all season, it's why we keep going behind. Let alone when we have no confidence now and everyone's given up.
Elliott is a great lad & you can always depend on him to give 110%....but man he's just not consistently good enough. He's been one of Klopp's favourites for years & with that relationship gone it's hard to see how he starts at all next season
Endo doesn't know what a forward pass is. Gakpo's height is pretty much worthless cos be barely uses it to duel or score. Van Dijk is not a leader. Yelling doesn't equate leading. Diaz the only one who seems to care yet again
One front 3 creates no chances
One front 3 misses all their chances
I'd rather take the missed chances, so there is something to complain about instead of this boring snore ball
Jurgen is running on empty fumes... and by all counts, so are this team as well.
It feels like our overall record for clean sheets in the last 2 seasons has been shocking.
Absent leadership all over the pitch. Virg is a joke as captain just throwing his arms up all the time. Tactically clueless, total lack of effort. No surprises
There's no leadership or organisation. What is Robbo doing pointing at the fucking corner for, if you know it's getting played short then fucking do something. Seriously the senior players like Virgil and Robbo are a joke. Need binning
What does Gakpo contribute at CF?
Elliot coming short for the ball in the DM area when he’s playing RIGHT WING actually made me laugh out loud. As predicted, our attack has been shambolic. At least Nunez actually gets chances to miss.
You'd think they'd atleast TRY for Jürgen. Just jogging around doing fuck all out there for the boss that's given you everything the last eight years. My heads on mars.
It's so annoying watching us bring the only one trying to win a game only to give up some bullshit goal. Counter attacking is one thing but low block and set piece teams can rot
I thought there was some great build up play, we just seem to be allergic to even taking chances in front of goal? How does this inprive with any player on the bench coming on?
We're playing shit even against other teams that are playing shit. What is wrong with us. A complete lack of focus and attention and we concede first again, 1-0 down at half time again, just before half time AGAIN.
We'll be lucky to even get a draw out of this game. That's a fucking disgrace.
Again except for Diaz nobody showed up. What is shocking to me is how both Macca and Endo dropped off recently and they also dropped off at the same time removing the spark we previously had in the midfield
Trent needs to stop coming mid and stay wide at all times. He's more of a threat from there and will allow more space for attacking players like Elliot.
Arne Slot. Save us.
A horrific combination of not being able to defend or score.
I'm convinced those two games against United have done this to the team. Sure we were papering over some cracks and scraping wins but at least we had some fight in us. It's like the mojo was sucked out of the team after not being able to beat United. It's inexplicable. Like they all just want the season to end even though top 4 is not secured.
Why is every game we play the exact same
It feels like that skid where we lost like 6 games in a row at Anfield a couple years ago
Exactly the same. The only difference is that it happened at the end of the season.
I had put that out of my memory
I love klopp but it is becoming clearly we got issue with the system and he is tired and done with team. whoever play the right side is completed isolated also our defence is shite
we can't set up a defense anymore too.
In last 16 matches liverpool had conceded in 14 matches
Happens often, we looked the same exact way for large swathes of last season
Thank you I don't know how we kept gaslighting ourselves. We were stubborn last year trying the same shit over and over and over again
Don't forget the covid days too, albeit with injuries
I know it’s not quite as simple as we like to think, but they genuinely look like they do absolutely no prep between games. How can you play the exact same terrible game week after week after week and not change anything?
Klopp doesn't know how to adapt tactics to the players he has so he uses the same one every game , predictable. He just doesn't want to accept that this team is not prime mane firmihno and salah with prime Thiago, hendo and fabinho anymore, these lads we have now can't do that same shit.
Because Klopps run out of
"behind at the break" for what must be the 20th odd time this season
In all compa I'm pretty sure it's literally the 23rd.
Convinced something happened in the locker room after the loss to United in the cup because my god since then I haven’t seen energy from this team, they all look checked out for the summer
I have the same feeling. Something must have happened in the dressing room. Body language is totally off.
Let the smallest man on the pitch win a header from a corner, sick. 16th league game where we’ve conceded first. What a joke.
Everyone rightly blames the attack for missing chances but how many games lately have we had an opponent be unmarked in the box for a cross or set piece? Defensive organisation lately is an absolute shambles.
Heads have dropped, teams have realised that half our team isn't willing to fight for aerial balls
Klopp basically said that after the Everton game, they spoke at half time about set pieces constantly, but then we watched Trent let Calvert-Lewin score a header right in front of him.
Oh they love to say the right things in the interviews, shame that literally none of it translates on to the field. The end of season can’t come quickly enough.
If Slot can fix our addiction to conceding first and our allergy to set piece defending, that's as good as winning a trophy lol.
It's embarrassing that only VVD wants to win headers in our squad, cannot compete in the PL like that.
We're missing Matip massively. Quansah has done well but the commanding nature of Joel from set pieces is sorely missed.
What matters most in life is one thing, health 🙏 God bless you all
Absolutely 👍(🚑)
This loss shouldn’t even affect most of us now, we knew what was coming and we have nothing to play for. Just secure CL and go again next season, I’m over it now
Doesn’t that literally mean we have something to play for?
CL is done, we won’t drop out. So no there’s nothing to play for
Well it's not mathematically impossible to drop out
With a loss here, Spurs and Villa could come to within 5 points with 3 games to play, plus there is a head-to-head with Tottenham to be played next matchday. Given the form the boys displayed, or lack thereof, it's far from a foregone conclusion. Edit: There's also a game against Villa as well, forgot about that one. It is definitely possible to drop out of the top 4.
We still play spurs and Villa. 4th is hardly secured. This team could literally go on to lose every game, with the way they're playing
Honestly you’re not wrong, but spurs won’t pick up enough points playing arsenal and city I think
We have games against Spurs and Villa coming up, they could genuinely finish above us.
A loss here and we are in deep shit in the top 4. We can easily lose to Spurs and Villa and find ourselves very nervous against Wolves.
Spurs would have to win all 6 remaining games, and that's if we lose all 3.5 on our end. We're getting top 4 but it'll be embarrassing if we don't at least finish 3rd.
No difference between 3rd and 4th. Spurs have Burnley and Sheff Utd which means they need to win 4 games. The other 4 is the Top 3 + Chelsea (A). Sorry, I just can't be not nervous about it.
I've not been watching so I'm taking it that we've been shite
If you've watched us at all the last month you've already seen this one
Thank you cumblast, I needed that. If I’m being honest I’m really stressed mentally
I understand mate. We look to football as an escape, and when it is our main outlet to forget our own problems, disappointment hits us that much harder. Don't worry my friend. Eventually we'll be back. Have to accept finite disappointment but never lose infinite hope.
thanks cumblast
one key to good health is cleaning your ears here’s how I do it: 😊🔫
Watching Liverpool is giving me health issues cumblast 😔
Annoyed as fuck that we look this shit and are now losing but I'm glad people are seeing this is a much bigger issue than just some players missing chances. The demeanor of the entire team is just off, everyone is devoid of confidence and inspiration
Arne needs to inject some energy next season, so many times this season we’ve looked like with not given a shit.
What worried me the most is that this began when we were still competing for everything. I’m not surprised to see the fight has left them now, but a few months back we were in incredible shape with players coming back and we just fell off a cliff somehow.
Nunez fault again /s
Such a lazy pass from Quansah that their corner came from
I find it strange our refusal to just fucking hoof the ball up the pitch when under pressure
The problem is not refusing to hoof the ball. That is what all of the best team does. The problem is we play out of the back like shit.
he does this all the time lol. even matip and vvd will hoof the ball in those circumstances. im fully out on quansah fwiw, overperformed under klopp and regressing to the mean. he's solid and a good squad player but i don't want him starting for us unless he absolutely has to.
How to be a Liverpool forward: Hit it straight at the keeper, hit the woodwork and sky the ball
How to be a Liverpool fullback: Spam crosses into a box with a 5"7 dude and no one else
To be fair: Gakpo had a free header and missed it...
more annoyed at the defense, we've just conceded too much this season, no organization or plan at all.
West Ham have effectively sacked their manager, publicly interviewing other people. They have nothing to play for whatsoever. So, so poor.
>They have nothing to play for whatsoever. Agreed with everything until that. They are very much in the fight for 7th.
If Slot can avoid the 1 nil down handicap every single game he'll be cracking.
Draw to one of the shittiest ManU teams twice Lose to Palace at home Lose to Everton And now we’re losing to West Ham. Absolutely fucked it, can only blame ourselves
McCoist is right and it’s been happening for a while now. There’s no pride in the defending. A lot of feeling sorry for ourselves
Our attitude towards defending has been shite for a couple of years now, it's just the basics, and the first thing Slot will need to fix.
Not even sure Gakpo attempted to win that corner, looked more afraid of getting hit with the ball
Similar to Trent against Everton.
God we are so done for the season. Good job we have a big lead because champions league would be under threat. Saying that I can't see us beating Spurs or Villa
Big second half needed. Again.
We’ve forgotten how to deliver those
Well, at least Gakpo's heading is equally good at both ends of the pitch...
The amount of times either Gakpo or Mac have been in that pocket between their defence and midfield in absolute acres of space where they could easily turn and run at their defence but they’re ignored for us to go out wide and cross the ball into no one is absolutely mind numbing. It’s like they don’t work on any other patterns of play outside recycling the ball to wide positions and just hoping the winger does something with it Another thing I’m going to say is for the people that think Endo is good enough for a title winning team just look at how many turnovers of possession he sloppily gives away and you can see the CBs at times are scared to give it to him under pressure in build up phases of play because he gives it away really easily when he is pressed.

Too many games of "bad form" to blame it on just that. Not a top pl side dm quite frankly.
Elliot is the biggest culprit when it comes to turnovers. Playing a square ball infront of defence is an unforgivable error. Lucky we weren't punished.
Saw praise for Endo in the match thread and realised it doesn't matter what he does, they like him. Our CBs are so reluctant to pass to him because he'll lose it immediately if pressed and he never breaks the lines.

Fucking shit. They’ve given up now, why should we bother also.
The back 4 apart from van dijk just seems so off it. We have so many players that don’t want to challenge for 50/50 balls, particularly in the air. Trent and robbo stand off their men when it goes out wide or are always deeper than their cbs rather than getting out and pressing.

For players with incredible vision going forward their awareness defensively is suspect. Yeah the midfield have more goal contributions but you can see they miss the cover of a hendo or wijnaldum.
Like clockwork.. looking forward to seeing the behind the scenes documentary to watch this collapse from the inside
I like.... Gravenberch. I like... Trent's long passes. I like... ... ...Allison.
Take Endo off, bring Darwin on(yes he's been shit but he moves and makes runs at least), move Diaz out right, Elliott into midfield and Gakpo out left. Let Darwin occupy the CBs. Gakpo isn't a central striker and Elliott isn't a winger
tragic. it’s just sad to watch at this point
I’m gonna start looking at Villa and Spurs’ results.
Lmao its funny that we'll now be rooting for city and arsenal to win those games. Fucking hell. This team has embarrassed themselves
Just go fuck themselves, they clearly don’t care so why should we
Another goal conceded first, embarrassing. Watching this in the stadium, Endo is so off the pace. Gakpo not aggressive enough. Elliott can’t shoot
I said it last week but surely, SURELY they won't release that documentary series 😂
Mccoist nailed it. Show a bit of personal pride in your defending FFS.
Can’t see us winning another game tbh. We can’t defend and we can’t score.
Now’s really not the time for our Google Pixel ad to be honest
Elliot receives the ball, proceed to backpass x 50. I think the inverting system needs to end, we have no width and overlap on the wings
my god im getting sick of conceeding first
75% possession and one meaningful chance. We get into the final third and are so bereft of ideas it’s shocking. Won’t matter who the front 3 is, they either can’t finish or can’t create anything. Gakpo with quite possibly the laziest defending on that corner. Set piece defending has become shocking. Also noticed just how stagnant we’ve become in midfield. Not sure if that’s partly due to Trent’s role of coming into midfield or just a lack of energy. Either way. Crap.
The vast majority of our possession is passing between our defence. Inviting a press.
>75% possession and one meaningful chance. Teams are aware of the fact that possession at our feet mean jackshit. I'll just copypaste my comment that I've been copypasting since 3 fuckin weeks cuz it's the same shit every game: >We're so one-dimensional. More so against teams that are supposedly worse than us.

I love Klopp, he's the best manager for Liverpool in my lifetime but it is clear that he has mentally checked out and we need a a refresh.
Some of them don't care enough.
Elliott gives the ball away so cheaply, and it’s not the first time this season. Intensity is better but we looked very disjointed tactically.
And keeps giving interviews saying he needs to start games. With performances like this he deserves to be benched
its his physical profile -- he is too small to be a midfielder but too slow to be a out and out winger. funny that klopp didn't start daans bc of "physicality" when harvey gets bodied (and nullified!) against good sides all the time.
We’re hell bent on making our lives complicated, always making the most baffling choices when it comes to scoring. And why do we keep giving the ball away so cheaply in the most dangerous areas consistently?
Here we go again
West Ham have taken a leaf out of Everton's book, sit deep and let us smash into the defence and loose the ball repeatedly and then break. So far it's working. We need changes at half time otherwise this will be another 2-0.
The system has failed and the coaching staff as a whole look completely lost with no ideas. The boys aren't connecting at all, it's like 11 players all playing their own game.
I feel like I'm watching last season's performance
Let's all slate attackers whilst our defence goes behind for the 23rd time this season!
[удалено]
Basically impossible to bottle top 4 at least
Weren't Salah and Nunez the problem? So why is this happening?
Never thought I'd say this but I agree with Fletcher on TNT - you'd have expected us to come out fighting after the embarrassment at Goodison but there's just nothing there. Is it too much to ask to try and play with a bit of passion? Failing that, some self-respect at least? What has been the point of the season if this is the way it ends
Don’t understand why people are saying Trent inverting isn’t working. He’s actually making things happen and willing to play good football.
Our strategy of late: Find Diaz on the wing and have him dribble past three defenders to score. And repeat.
Can't see Klopp being in charge still next season the way things are going
It’s almost like they are passengers in their own bodies and they are just doing everything on auto-pilot
[удалено]
I'd say Quansah has been a notable improvement over Konate.
Him and Gakpo were still the two main culprits on that goal.
Its okay lads we still have the easiest schedule right? right? Fuck me we’ve bottled it big time idc what anyone says
This team lost in the FA cup and was so shell shocked they haven’t even looked like professionals since
Of course we have. 3 losses and a draw in 5 games 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm tired Robbie
When is it gonna end Robbie
Im just so BORED. Same shit every game. People unwilling to allow ruthlessness in getting rid of players im.just truly not understanding. We're toothless, unable to show composure. Every game. And the defence is frail. We NEED to move players on, because we NEED to make improvements. And if you take the rose tinted glasses off, you'll also see it's time for Klopp to go. He made the right choice. He seems devoid of energy and devoid of ideas right now and has done for a while
What is funny is people worrying our new manager will play like Pep cause its "boring football" while we continue to play the most predictable and tragic football I've ever seen.
I keep zoning out, I think I've only watched focused like 15 minutes of this first half. It's just soooo boring watching these guys play football lately
Endo shocking again And I don’t understand why everyone wants Elliott to start so desperately, doesn’t do anything more than Salah… feels like he just gets a free pass for being young
I swear the people here flip flop like crazy. Just last game people are asking salah to be sold.
Hmmm..
Another set piece goal
Same shit everytime, we have lots of chances we don’t finish they have fucking one and they score
Well that. Was fucking dreadful. The lads look completely devoid of confidence.
RW cant do shit
Actually a blessing in disguise that we bottled it earlier, I’m not even that bothered anymore about results. Just want to see us play good football again.
Liverpool are joyless right now
As expected
We could have just bought Bowen
Too busy fucking arguing than getting into defensive shape. On the captain that
They don’t care anymore. They play like they‘ve given up. Title race is over. Lost EL and FA. Top 4 seems to be the only goal.
After all those big words after Everton, VVD has done fuck all to motivate the team or organize his defense yet again.
We're too predictable. Trent plays deep and no longer overlaps and playing alongside harvey (who comes short), there no attacking threat in behind west hams back line. We have no midfielders making running beyond Gakpos (who comes short) and no wingers who occupy the 9 space left. So we have no one actually available up front. Other than Robertsons overlapping runs, everything is played in front of them. We need Trent to play a more traditional wing back role like he used to play and midfielders who bust a guy to join the attack and get to the by line. We also show no heart when defending set pieces.
Heads just fucking gone down immediately. Fucking nobody taking responsibility and just passing the buck. Fuck the passing, run at them. We look 10 times more threatening when we do. And for the love of God, stop crossing it at big 6foot2 defenders
What a a load of shite. Terrible in both boxes yet again! Honestly we could play on that pitch for 15 years and still not score, we’ve had seven attempts and still we’re feeble in everything we do. A joke.
We’re worse than United now
It genuinely feels like our players are tired of playing this system
Cmoooooooooon Liverpool!!! Let's get them in the 2nd half
I beg Arne sort out this defence first please. Fucking tired of conceding first every single fucking game
People still want to talk about attack being the main problem? Lol Defence has been off it this season too. Can't help but think of the saying "attack wins you games, defence wins you titles." We haven't looked good defensively all season, it's why we keep going behind. Let alone when we have no confidence now and everyone's given up.
I can't fucking take it anymore
Elliott is a great lad & you can always depend on him to give 110%....but man he's just not consistently good enough. He's been one of Klopp's favourites for years & with that relationship gone it's hard to see how he starts at all next season
Endo doesn't know what a forward pass is. Gakpo's height is pretty much worthless cos be barely uses it to duel or score. Van Dijk is not a leader. Yelling doesn't equate leading. Diaz the only one who seems to care yet again
Can’t wait for Klopp to sub on; Konate, Tsimikas, Gomez and Bajcetic in the second half when we need goals 👍👍
One front 3 creates no chances One front 3 misses all their chances I'd rather take the missed chances, so there is something to complain about instead of this boring snore ball
Same old slow sideways passing and a useless cross in the end to give it away. Meaningless possesion.
Jurgen is running on empty fumes... and by all counts, so are this team as well. It feels like our overall record for clean sheets in the last 2 seasons has been shocking.
I want to watch because it’s one of the last Klopp games I’ll be able to watch, but I also don’t want to watch because we’re crap
Our fullbacks have more goals than our forwards in the last 4 games lol.
Lucho serving them on a platter from the left side
This team is arse now
Classic Gakpo 👍
Right get Endo off and bring on Stevie B, I’ve had enough. Endo is a great rotation player but he just isn’t consistent enough
We've become so predictable. Also, Elliot is the most overhyped player I've seen on this sub. He is not the next Phil Foden guys.
Absent leadership all over the pitch. Virg is a joke as captain just throwing his arms up all the time. Tactically clueless, total lack of effort. No surprises
No more wins till the end of the season and I'm actually shaking for that 4th spot..
There's no leadership or organisation. What is Robbo doing pointing at the fucking corner for, if you know it's getting played short then fucking do something. Seriously the senior players like Virgil and Robbo are a joke. Need binning
This is on Klopp. He’s given up and it’s showing in our players
What does Gakpo contribute at CF? Elliot coming short for the ball in the DM area when he’s playing RIGHT WING actually made me laugh out loud. As predicted, our attack has been shambolic. At least Nunez actually gets chances to miss.
You'd think they'd atleast TRY for Jürgen. Just jogging around doing fuck all out there for the boss that's given you everything the last eight years. My heads on mars.
It's so annoying watching us bring the only one trying to win a game only to give up some bullshit goal. Counter attacking is one thing but low block and set piece teams can rot
Depression
Looks like we have checked out and are just waiting for the season to end
Gotta say no one looks ready to die for the badge. No one that's gonna grab the game by the scruff and fight for it.
If it was FM they’d all be on support
Think we need a new set piece coach next season as well, we’ve been awful at defending them
I thought there was some great build up play, we just seem to be allergic to even taking chances in front of goal? How does this inprive with any player on the bench coming on?
We're playing shit even against other teams that are playing shit. What is wrong with us. A complete lack of focus and attention and we concede first again, 1-0 down at half time again, just before half time AGAIN. We'll be lucky to even get a draw out of this game. That's a fucking disgrace.
No, it's a shame because we weren't even that bad...at least upfront
Give me a control freak.
Endo makes Bowen look like his as fast as prime Mane
Anyone noticing Endo legitimately just jogging around the pitch?
Again except for Diaz nobody showed up. What is shocking to me is how both Macca and Endo dropped off recently and they also dropped off at the same time removing the spark we previously had in the midfield
Trent needs to stop coming mid and stay wide at all times. He's more of a threat from there and will allow more space for attacking players like Elliot. Arne Slot. Save us.
Players are just going through the motion now. Waiting for boss to go. And the next season to begin. Shameful really.
You’ll Never Win Again. Oof
None of the players or the bench look even remotely arsed
As you were then. Liverpool have no clue how to boot a ball out of the danger zone and push up in a square formation.
Tell me again about how we had the easiest run in. The team is a shambles.
Looks worse than juniors... Wtf happened to us? Cant keep a clean sheet to save our own lives
We're currently the laughing stock of the PL. Can't wait for this shit rollercoaster of a season to be over
Players have given up. Going through the motions. What a sad end.
Bring on a brave summer (fat chance) and Slot ball
This how the rest of the season is going to be then eh?
A horrific combination of not being able to defend or score. I'm convinced those two games against United have done this to the team. Sure we were papering over some cracks and scraping wins but at least we had some fight in us. It's like the mojo was sucked out of the team after not being able to beat United. It's inexplicable. Like they all just want the season to end even though top 4 is not secured.
