Lol. We've not played well. What is this shit. When did you, as a football fan,decide that playing well was keeping the ball in the middle third for 45 Minutes.

We’ve played with a tempo much better than recent months. Doku has had Alexander-Arnold on toast and Savinho has been bright.

For all of Liverpool’s dominance in the PL and Europe so far this season, they’ve looked extremely ordinary and we deserve some credit for that.
 
They look well organised and look like a team. We don’t.

Gifted them a goal lead and other than Doku and Savinho doing something individually, we can’t sustain any pressure on them.

De Bruyne and Gonzalez have been really poor in midfield. They should both be hooked at halftime.

We’ve been crying out for a mobile midfielder all season and I’m afraid Gonzalez isn’t that. He’s slow.

Another 50mn on a second rate midfielder after 100mn on Phillips and Nunes. If anyone wonders why we’re struggling, it’s because we aren’t buying quality midfielders anymore.
Begs the question what is going on with our recruitment? In a world, where are you have to watch what you spend, we are spunking away so much money on poor midfielders.
 
It's not that we are poor, it's what we are now compared to what we were.
As the saying goes "I could have spent a lifetime in darkness if I hadn't have seen the sun"
We are such a pale shadow of what we were that it is difficult to comprehend.
Old City would roll their sleeves up and lay seige to the opposition goal if we went in at 2 down. Now, I'm just hoping it doesn't creep to 4.
It's the lack of fight and heart that is so disappointing. I can take being poor just so long as we are having a go and showing some signs of life.
 
How frustrating it is to clearly see what the plan is on other teams’ set pieces, whereas we spam the same floaty corner to their keeper every single time and take stupid shots on free kicks that cannot possibly be scored from without a goalkeeper howler. We’ve either got no plan or a ridiculously shit one. Which is it?
 
We didn’t. He’s not a centre forward. Although he’s more of one than Foden
Exactly my point. He’s not a ball to feet player. We need to feed him yet we are using him in the pockets and you can tell he isn’t a ball to feet player because his first touch isn’t great.
 
Rico trying hard but not good enough ultimately fucking about with the ball that led to the corner. Liverpool track with pace and power and we do not do that,2 shots 2 goals let’s see our goals to shots at the end of the game
