All players have this period.
Maca was getting the same stuff earlier in the season.
There are at least 5 or 6 players getting criticism now and 5-6 being praised that have had criticism.
Injury hit and very long season. Form will dip and pick up.

Its not a new thing. Itās always been one of the marks against his game, but he just does enough good other stuff that it typically gets excused or overlooked. I dare say the same would have been happening in this thread had he put away that pass from Robbo in the first half

And as Klopp said Szob hit it well and for once Obana made a great save
Different chance. The bigger one was when he came onto a nice cut back back from Robbo after arriving late to the box and put it just wide of the near post.
That, Moās two and whatever the fuck that was from Darwin in the second half are 4 gilt edged chances that we didnt get a single one on target

I do agree but there were far worst chances or misses than the one Onana saved, the finishing or lack of it was our downfall but that one, our player actually did well for once and it was good by their keeper.
Apologies I must have missed or canāt recollect that miss, there were so many from our players
Yeah, he looked off pace just before he was taken off. Jones however looked totally out of rhythm, hopefully he raises it soon. Elliott shouldāve started ahead of Gravenberch on Thursday, but there you go.
Then he will have to be dropped because he is playing poorly.
Itās why I said if you have options you can rest players in and out of form, you can find suggestions of where players will even get games such as Jota.
I donāt think any of us desperately doesnāt want to see him back.
Its his first season in the prem so i think we need to remember that. He hasnāt played such a full on pressured season before. Plus that injury then 2nd quick injury has derailed him a bit.
He was outstanding in first few months and he needs to get back to that.
My frustration with him is heās getting from 1 box to the other running with the ball with easeā¦its his pass or lack of shooting thatās the frustration. The pass is either the wrong one or 8/10 its the right one but badly executed.
He isnāt shooting eitherā¦he has it in him but he isnāt pulling the trigger when defenders are backing off and he can see the goal.
Hes young and Iām sure next season he will be stronger, better and more consistent.

There is a bit of Coutinho about himā¦he has so much skill and can do such difficult things well, but at times is sloppy is with the seemingly easy stuff. Itās difficult to see it as anything other than not concentrating on something they view as too trivial to have to concentrate on.
Mac shouldāve taken #8, and Dom #10. Makes more sense in terms of positions and roles.
