Liverpool (A) Post Match Thread.

[NorthamptonBlue]

Three brain farts from three different defenders in one match. We were well off the pace most of the game though. Thought we were getting the draw at the end but not sure we would have deserved it (though I would have taken it of course).

Onwards and upwards.

I can’t believe it. I actually can’t believe it.

Coutinho gone, Karius in goal and no VVD. Insane performance.

The end put a bitter taste in my mouth, but I think it was because we were knackered after that lightning spell.

Klopps building something with us, and we’ve got to keep him.

You guys swarmed is today and we weren't ready, fair play and good game. Hope you lose the rest of your games! :P

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

At 4-1 I was worried about a severe kicking. At least 4-3 looks respectable.

I suppose an off-day was inevitable but many were beyond gash - Stones, Fernandinho and Ederson. Maybe it's best Raheem doesn't bother making the trip to Anfield in future.

Let's hope we take it out on Newcastle next weekend.

We have to lose eventually so least it's by a 1 goal margin. The only negative is that other teams will follow this klopp blueprint as how Celtic exposed us last season. Hopefully before they figure this out, Pep adapts this in his coaching.

Normally Silva stops this panic setting in.

Why the fuck dave wasn't brought on I'll never know ffs

 

[Gabriel]

Stones showing the same weaknesses as against Falcao and Sterling yet again weak at Anfield, and Delph was preyed upon in the opening. Only Walker of the English players showed the mettle needed to battle there.

I wouldn’t get to giddy, we always perform like that anfield, as you would already know.

Dave had a stomach bug, he was on the bench but he was never going to come in today.

 

[blue ranger]

Let them have their cup. But disappointed with Sterling today...he was weak mentally.

Sterling let Robertson bully him. Actually thought it was embarrassing and I’m pretty sure he can expect a bit more of that now.

 

[FanchesterCity]

Liverpool deserved it. They pressed and worked much harder and took their chances.
City might have to learn to be more pragmatic against certain teams who are capable of hurting us. I can totally sympathise with the 'we won't change our style' mantra, but I think that's going to be part of Pep's learning process too - sometimes, being able to change style is another tool at our disposal.

Ultimately, I think we were undone by mistakes that were induced by us not being used to such a high workrate from Liverpool. They were more than up for this game against us, and it showed.
