Them long balls are why we miss the pace of Kyle Walker so much.

I mean yeah but what CB worth his salt can’t deal with those balls? It’s one thing if you’re up against a prime Drogba or a Shearer. Or even if you’re battling against some big fucker like Crouch but Jota, Firmino and Salah? There is no excuse for Ake, Akanji and Dias struggling so much against long punts up field. Cancelo on the goal is braindead but it’s not like we haven’t seen similar braindead behaviour from Walker over the years. I would like to think that if our 3 big CBs had dealt with the long ball better throughout the game, Liverpool might have been forced to change tactics. Instead they were encouraged to keep doing it by our weak-as-piss defending.
 
Feel a bit like that's their beat Man City trophy. Let's see where they are at the end of the season. Its a marathon not a sprint. Still a bit pissed off we were so poor and just didn't play to our potential.
 
Talent wise best team in the world. Mentally we’re not even top3. Happens too many times we bottle at certain grounds or certain comps. Haaland improves us but that’s not gonna stop the mistakes at the back.
 
A fucking abysmal piece of defending from Cancelo, who has form in big games, cost us the game end of.

Maybe one day Pep will stop getting involved with all the Klopp and Anfield dickriding every time we play them, tell them it’s another game about us and their atmosphere is nothing special. Cringey as fuck listening to them all circle jerking before a game and could well be the reason we go in to these games half arsed with no aggression.

We needed some pace in that side today and I’m pretty pissed off Alvarez didn’t get a lot more game time and nobody ran at fucking Milner for 90 minutes, Bernardo is the only one that applied any sort of aggression today as good as Rodri is getting in his role sometimes he needs to bite a bit more and be a bit more ‘european’ in games like this wasting time and being a bit cnutish.

Re your first para, maybe, and absolutely we should be considering at “another game”, but the thing is, our lack of ability to play to our best at that ground is not a Pep-era thing; it’s gone on under numerous managers for decades.
