That "brave" side Klopp picked were fucking shite and only blagged anything out of the game due to their usual penalty and Kev missing ours.
We were much the better side.

That’s not true. They had more shots and more shots on target than we did. They were more dangerous than us in the first half.That "brave" side Klopp picked were fucking shite and only blagged anything out of the game due to their usual penalty and Kev missing ours.

We got control of the game however in the second and were unlucky not to win because of KDB’s missed pen. However let’s not kid ourselves we made loads of chances.

Your stats are shit.
A "shot" can hit the corner flag.
A "shot on target" can be a little trickler straight into the goalkeeper's hands.
Given they had the "best front 3/4 in the world" out there, at no time did I feel they were over running us or pulling us all over the place. I felt pretty comfortable.
KDB scores that pen and/or Sterling takes that chance Allison saved and we win the game and everyone on here is raving about a Pep masterclass.

There does seem to be a conundrum around the players “match fitness” any PT’s Physios Sports Science people out there hazard a guess at why we seem to be more affected than others? Is it just a perfect storm, short pre season, too much football, travel, enforced rest periods (due to amount of games) tired minds, the way we play, are we over science’ing things? for one reason or another we seem to be holding back substitutions, ignore yesterday as I think both managers where waiting for the other to blink (tactically) and we seem to be making less changes to the starting eleven, not got the stats

But we didn’t. And the same argument can be made for Liverpool my friend.
We were at home, they were without their captain and key CB, we stuttered going forward. We’ve been average in attack against the best teams for awhile now and that needs answering. Yes we missed Kun but there’s still something else missing in our attack to how it was a couple of seasons ago.

It’s all about one word that we lack 95% of the time, and Pep even said it in the pre-match presser...
CLINICAL.
Need reinforcements in multiple areas, but we appear determined to pay £50-60M for every one of them these days, which makes them harder to acquire.
Why is it other teams can find players for a fraction of that?
Anyway, need to blood some of the young guns and see who does and doesn’t have it, before we go out and spend a fortune.
That said, need another SERIOUS midfielder, who is going to cost money, because we are lightweight and one KDB muscle injury (let alone broken ankle!) away from feeling fucked!

It’s the Lilo effect!
Great post! Its funny how everyone seem to have missed this. We were told that Lilo was this great mastermind and a source of inspiration to Pep but in reality it seems like his is just another spanish important with very little substance.
We just need so much more from wide players like Sterling, Mahrez, Torres. In n defending too, but especially attacking.
Torres done well playing centrally, scored a couple, and early days for him. not early days for seasoned pro's like Raheem or Mahrez tho.
Harry Kane 7 goals, 8 assists this season,
Grealish 4 goals, 5 assists,
Son 8 goals, 2 assists,
fucking Chilwell new LB for Chelsea, 2 goals, 2 assists in,
Salah 8 goals,
DCL in Everton 8 goals,
Bruno Fenandes 5 goals, 3 assist. (mostly pens tho haha).
and then Raheem and Mahrez:
Raheem in 622 minutes 2 goals , 1 assist in PL.
Mahrez in 432 minutes 1 goal, 1 assist.
If this is what two of our most regular wide attacking players will serve up during the season, we are in trouble.
That is not good enough to league rivals. (PL only)
While Bernardo needs to show his creative side when played, he is slowly turning into a workhorse that is running a lot which is needed of course but hardly any end product in his game like assists or goals or good crosses.
we not gonna survive playing a trio of Rodri, Gundo, Bernardo and them not having a total of 5 goals between them in PL.
how that compares with all the goals scored/created directly by D. Silva, Yaya etc.

If it is a rebuild, why not buy the striker we have needed for at least two seasons? Pep needs to trust Foden more, otherwise we should’ve replaced Silva.
The trademark of the two title winning seasons was the overload of attacking players and tap ins from balls being squared across the six yard box, which made Sterling seem far better than he is.
We’ve got not pace bar Sterling, and imagine the aerial presence of a Kane type forward?
We need to cut our losses on Rodri for a start.
