Liverpool Post Match

Fuck me,

Surely that has to be as bad as it gets

We do need a Pogba type player (who doesn't?) two new full backs would be nice. Zab's lost the half of yard, he never had and Kolorov's frustrating at best.

It feels horrible to lose against them.

How many songs haven't they got?
 
I saw something on Twitter a while back that stuck with me saying that we're essentially a team built to attack and control the ball. Defensively we often struggle to keep a good defensive shape and cover the ground and press opponents quickly. Then when good opponents can cover ground quickly and press us high up we struggle to quicken our play up and then make mistakes.

That makes perfect sense to me, against the good teams we just aren't capable of defending as a unit. The midfield especially because Yaya is a liability in that department, same goes with Nasri and Silva at times. You can't ask those players to play in a 442 and defend against the best teams who will generally play 3 central midfielders and likely have more mobility and graft.
 
We have some very important decisions to make in the next couple of seasons. We have been sussed out and hold no fear for any team. We are so predictable and light weight considering we have some beasts within our squad. I hate to criticise managers but he is not the answer in my opinion, if the right man comes along we have to act quick. Every man and his dog can see how tactically naive 4-4-2 is against top teams yet he is stubborn enough to persist with it. We need a couple of marquee signing s in the next transfer window to freshen things up and give the club a boost, we have stocked too many mediocre players into the squad and not built upon what we have in the starting eleven. (FFP Doesn't help). Many of the top clubs are closing the gap on us, if we don't act in the summer i genuinely worry for our top 4 status next season
 
There are so many issues that need addressing at the moment, seems we can now add basic fitness levels to the list. It looked like we had played 120 minutes on Thursday night not them. Don't take any great pleasure in saying it but I will be surprised if Pellegrini is manager at the start of next season. 18 months of neglecting the ugly/boring side of the game has taken its toll and we are becoming increasingly shambolic defensively. It takes so little for teams to cause us problems, it's frightening, yet nothing seems to be being done to address this in terms of getting back to basics and just getting ourselves organised as a team. I don't doubt for a minute that if the likes of Kompany and Zabaleta went to Chelsea they would be back to being top quality players fairly rapidly, this system, this way of setting up, whatever you want to call it, has reduced top players to utter chumps. Just my opinion of course, I'm sure there will be plenty who think the way we defend is fine and put everything down to individual errors.
 
what make,s matters worse is they only beat us be two wonderful strike,s!we could have snatched at the end with sergio,s effort or silva,s!!out played but joe was not that busy so i get mp will think we were unlucky!lol!
weve have been carrying too many players now for a few weeks.
 
- Unlike some or many i wasn't deluding my self since the start of the season you could feel what was going to happen

- many up and downs, having one down period ok but not every 2 months

- This game was without a shadow of doubt one the the most overrated games of the premier league many balls lost, the inability to pass the ball accurately and this for both teams

- some moments you would think the players are going to up the tempo to the score the 2nd but no even against a tired team that lost to Besiktas :)

- Bony ? a big lol i don't blame him much when you consider the timing he entred in both games

- Get one of the 2 or 3rd place that what is left

- And i repeat again the transfers are shocking since 2011 (last good transfer ) buy rubish expect rubish
