Liverpool Post Match Thread

He absolutely must have had the Juventus trip on his mind when it came to the team selection on Saturday!

It completely defies logic to have Nico and Fernandinho on the bench otherwise against Liverpool. At the end of the day, it's a long old season and the league is recoverable over the course of 38 games. The Champions League allows little room for error. Topping the group will be massive for us, and hopefully be a springboard to going further than ever before in the competition.

Any team can have an awful day at the office, but my biggest concern is that it's not the 1st time this has happened this season. We have been completely dismantled twice now - Spurs and Liverpool. I'm actually worried about the 2 games we have against a pacey Arsenal team, going to Anfield, Spurs coming to us, and a probably resurgent Chelsea by the time we go the Bridge.
 
I noticed on an earlier post that person seemed to think that a couple of 'Pool's goals were offside.
I thought their third may have had an element of offside - what do others think?
And this is not an attempt to blame inept officials, just curious - because we were bloody awful and fully deserved the bloody nose we got.

nope, none of them were offside. all were very close but onside each time
 
In many ways this was the "perfect storm". Best central defender and midfield player in the league missing, top scorer not match fit, our next two best players getting back from South America late and being omitted accordingly, two players who were with the French squad at the Stade de France, against a decent team with the new manager bounce, with a real sense of grievance against the club and one of its players, whose two beat best players didn't travel in midweek and an early own goal to set them on their way. Hopefully, it won't happen again.

Demichelis started. He was in South America. Unless they travelled back separately seems that Otamendi was rested because of the Champions League.

He played for Argentina twice and we can't afford to lose him with Kompany being out so there is a pressure not to play him every game.

Arsenal have been prioritising the Premier League over the Champions League this season resting players who weren't 100% in advance of Premiership games. We seem to be doing the opposite. When you're already missing key players and then you add to it by taking Fernandinho and Otamendi out, it's too much.
 
2 days later and the disappointment at the manner of this defeat is just as hard to take. Normally by Monday it's dissipating and you focus on the next game. I think the Klopp factor is the main reason for this. I'm actually very jealous of their coup in getting him.
A win against Southampton and a loss or two for our rivals and I'm sure things will look better, cosmetically at least.
 
it doesn't help that our three best players Aguero Silva and Kompany are also our most injury prone

Agree with Aguero and Kompany, but I would say that Silva is just more prone to getting the shit kicked out of him by piss poor defenders every time he steps on the pitch
