Liverpool Post Match Thread

That doesn't excuse the lack of organisation, inability to play simple passes or fight for 50/50's.
Regardless of injuries or players being half fit (our half fit player being the best on the pitch btw) that performance from start to finish was awful.
I'm sure there are plenty of nobs on this thread, it doesn't stop them being correct today.

My point mate is this, none of the back four I would pick were available, our best midfielder was carrying a knock, our captain was not fit, when no silva we rely on Nasri again not fit, there was no center back cover, there was no fullback cover and there was little or no pace in our back four, to blame the manager solely for tonight's performance is naive and ignorant, we were easy pickings today and we all knew that before the game began, if all were available and put out that performance I would be very concerned, but the facts are they weren't.
 
I heard the team news as i got into the ground and feared the worst. To me it looked like suicide,Klopp must have looked at that team sheet and popped into the toilet to pull one off. How many years and how much experience has this manager of ours got?? I swear a kid out of the crowd could have picked a side that would have given the dippers a better game than we did today! By the time he changed it the game was over,we are actually lucky it wasn't 1-6. We made the dippers look like a combination of Real and Barca rolled into one. I thought the bang on my head had zipped me back to the 1970/80's when the dipper's used to play us off the park like this every season.

I am not a Pellegrini out man but it would be interesting to see what a proper top class clued up manager would do with this squad . Yes i know he won the double in his first season, but i still fear that was achieved in spite of him and not because of him.

Right,i have just wrecked the garden shed so here's my view,i could not agree more with the above post,the time has come he most go sooner rather than later before any more damage is done to the season.Thanks for the double mate in your 1st season but dont let the door hit your arse on the way out.Right time now to lie down in a dark room for a few days.

This quote somes up the night. If I would have asked my 15yr old nephew what Liverpool's tactics would be before tonights game, he would have said "they are all about pace pace pace!" So why does a supposedly experienced manager choose to play a CB pairing that has an error prone record to say the least and a midfield that contains Yaya who is as mobile as the 53 stuck in a cul de sac! We may ultimately end up as champions but after tonight and the Spurs debacle it will be down to the resource available rather than the expert management of Pellers. Time for a change. He is unable to motivate this bunch and less we forget that this was the response after after the Villa performance.......Caio Carlo welcome to Manchester
 
It would be good if after unacceptable performances like this, the manager faced the press and apologised to the fans and showed that he's as fucking livid as we are and it will not happen again.

Pellegrini and the club as a whole are too 'nice' and accepting of mediocrity or downright bollocks performances. Show some fucking passion and anger and swear this bullshit half-arsed performance will not fucking happen again. Juventus away is hard to call, but the next premier league team stepping on a pitch with us should get absolutely fucking battered. Look at the talent we have in that side. If those players cannot be motivated or coached to not lose 4-1 at home to anybody, then Khaldoon needs to find someone who can. That was fucking embarrassing today.
 
I don't think there is a reason to be panicking. Bad performance? Yes, for sure. However I think this could be just the kick up the arse we need. Dippers outplayed us today. Faster, hungrier, drilled and up for the battle. But we can only get better. What do you want us to do? Run on the pitch like headless chickens or what? We have a style of play and when we click it will all fall back to place. Playing that bad and still 2 points of the top spot? This is no time to panic.

As for sacking Pelle? Now? Why the hell would we do that? To get who exactly as a replacement?
 
Embarrassing, inept and worst still entirely predictable.
A shambolic and bewildering selection by MP, entirely obvious we would lose once that team was picked.
If he had any decency he would resign tonight, clueless idiot.

Pellegrini looked to be totally clueless about how a Klopp team would be setup and play, he doesn't seem to take any notice of the opposition wether it's Barca or bottom of the 4th division team in the cup. If he firmly believes what he said I post match then I'm sure most of the crowd tonight could put him right. Never, under the previous manager did we have embarrassing results only once conceded more than 2 goals. His team selection is bizarre on occasions and substitutions baffling, his excuse for not putting Nacho on to replace Bony v Villa was totally contradicted when he brought him on today to replace Kun. His whole deameanour is reflected in the team. Capello was said a good manager makes a team 20% better and a bad one 70% worse well today proved that theory. This squad should be clear top of the league and should have won the league last season but Pellegrini is giving others hope let's hope the players pull him out of it sooner rather than later. LVG is ridiculed on here but he is far better than Mr Pellegrini and I expect them to finish far too close to us and if they make good signings in Jan then they will be above us. Personally I'd be on the phone to Ancelotti before someone else nicks him

I agree with the majority of this.


I would add, as well, that we are conceding an alarming amount of goals. That is twice this season we have conceded 4 goals and that hasn't happened since the takeover. In fact we have rarely looked like doing so until now. We are far too exposed and have an arrogance about us, where it doesn't appear to matter who we play, our set up will be the same regardless. I think that is nonchalant in the extreme. We are nowhere near the level of Barcelona, who are the only team to play with such an arrogance but they have earned that right.

For a while we have been branded and I'm not entirely sure if it's the mentality of Pellegrini or what the club wants from the academy up. After all they made Barcelona what they are.

We have to learn to adapt and accept where we are on the footballing pyramid and change where we need to.
 
Simply had no leaders on the pitch, why play mangala and Demi together when they haven't all season, Otamendi should have started in one of those positions, Yaya is past caring now, as soon as the second went in he's just started pointing and his passing etc was atrocious. No one took charge least of all Pellegrini, fuck the champions league get the game won today they have 4 days to recover.
Klopp has Liverpool playing a fast pressing game same as he had at Dortmund, I doubt they will be able to keep it up for the rest of the season but they will do well, he sussed us out and got it spot on, pressurise the back 4 and we panicked I've never seen the ball passed back so much in the first half as we did today.
If guardiola doesn't come next season who the hell are we going to get as I'd have took Klopp in a heartbeat.
