I've said repeatedly it's clearly a disappointment. I'm not attempting to gloss it over. I just think you're being hyperbolic saying it's taken the shine off our season. That downplays everything we've done in the 35-odd games that have gone before, on the basis of one night. How many other English clubs would like to be in our position right now?

We’ve all known how Liverpool will play for the past few years but it seems whoever is managing city can’t fucking see it. Fucking frustrating because it was easily avoidable.It's quite amazing this is the first post i've read about Klopp, after casually reading dozens of forums, that nails it. Klopp is a one trick pony. If he can't play his game, he has no plan B, he is unable to change the course of a game tactically. He can hope one of his players makes the difference individually, but he lacks the vision to turn a game around when it's not going his way, imho. So i found it shocking that Pep played right into his cards, with this lineup. By talking out Sterling, Pep effectively slashed De Bruyne's effectiveness by one third.
But, to be honest, the game could have gone differently, all the same. Salah's goal should never have happened. Not just the offside issue, but defensively this goal could have been prevented more than once. If Sané passes to De Bruyne instead of going for personal succes, it could have been 1-1. The second goal, as beautiful as it was, it wasn't even a created chance, "merely" a quality strike, but if he were to try it 5 times over, it would not go in again. Etc. This game could also have been 2-1, which would have been quite the difference.
But credits to Liverpool. They stuck to what they know and executed their only plan brilliantly.

Bollocks, it' not his fault that he gets so far up the pitch and then some fucker gives the ball away and leaves him hung out to dry
Was he far up the pitch when he couldn't clear the fecking ball on their first? He's mentally not elite. Good enough for 95% of our games, but thats it.

Played shit first half & controlled 2nd half & thought Sterling changed it. Linesmen made iffy calls, can live with Salah off but 3 times Sane wrongly ruled off & resulted in goal disallowed. Also should have had a pen.
Mystified at Gundogan selection which went against how we’ve played. I thought the Dippers did a superb job gliding space around Silva.
Only 'controlled' the second half because they were fucked from their 100mph first half. Same shit every time we go klanfield. TBH mate if we are 3 down and still not looking threatening we aren't really controlling it.

I’m not sterling biggest fan but he should have started to stretch the game and prevent robertson from overlapping.

He could and should have changed it after the 2nd goal as it was pretty clear by then that it wasn't working. Even the best coaches get it wrong sometimes and I think he needed the inner resolve to admit that and change it far sooner than he did.It’s all on Pep tonight for me
Before you jump down my throat I wouldn’t swap him for anyone as 90% of the time it works and we will watch great football and win plenty while he’s here
Think is he didn’t change how we play and he should’ve tonight
Well said Ric. Common sense and pragmatism prevails...I've said repeatedly it's clearly a disappointment. I'm not attempting to gloss it over.
