I would hate us being owned by someone like Boehly and wasting all that money

If by some miracle we get Bellingham the meltdown some here will have when he doesnāt end the season with 50 goal contributions is going to be a sight to behold.
Not half as bad as itāll be if we donāt get him.

He doesnāt know how to defend when trying to win the ball, he had one situation in the 1st half on the touchline with Billing he could have gone to floor to win the ball pretty easily instead he went shoulder to shoulder (shouldet to belly) and obviously lost the strength battle and Billing was away down the touchline.
Exactly, we used to playing against busparking teams and could open them up. Nowadays without ManƩ and Diaz not so much. We could do with a scoring midfielder.
BTW, Thiago our creative midfielder has no assists and no goals ā¦ 
Agree with this but Thiago is not a creative midfielder in the normal sense his creation is from a deeper position breaking the lines with a pass through midfield and with the emergence of Gakpo playing that deep playing 9 position Thiago is a major miss to us.
I know you dont rate Gakpo but he was the only one causing them issues by receiving the ball, turning and breaking the line.
Havenāt seen the game due to being in work but it seems pretty clear todayās Liverpool is where this team is right now and the last month since beating Everton has been an aberration.
Itās becoming more and more apparent attitude is the issue and it baffles me that Jurgen hasnāt sorted it. I can only wonder whether heās giving some of them enough rope to hang themselves with.
How can a team that has racked up the 2 biggest PL wins this season go to bottom-feeders like Forest, Bournemouth, Everton, Palace and Wolves and fail to score a single fucking goal?
There are now only a handful of this squad who I would be disappointed to see leave. Alisson, Robbo, Konate, Diaz, Jota, Gakpo and Nunez. The rest I couldnāt care less and there are some fucking big name players in there but enough is enough.
This team is done on every level and I donāt think FSG will cough up anywhere near enough in the summer to put it right.

He will probably get injured

I know others will disagree but I also thought he was the only one of our outfield players who did OK today.
Progressive dribbling, nice finish for the offside goal, was unfortunate at the end with a good strike on the half turn. At least he tried a bit.

Yes he did twice and that is his strengt, it happened when we got a little more room to manoeuvre, I would play Jota against teams like that, he is better in small spaces
I would. VVD was in control of the situation and then inexplicable stopped. He was largely at fault for the goal.

I think he/they thought he was offsideā¦but instead of keeping going, then complaining to the linesmanā¦as he usually doesā¦Virgil seemed to ditherā¦as if someone had shouted offsideā¦or indicated offsideā¦butā¦they hadnāt, he wasnāt and they didā¦so we go againā¦
Recorded it and watched when I woke up.
Sorry I did.
Even sorrier that I read this thread.

Not a lot of positives from that, probably the worst thing is we are now 2 games adrift of 4th,with Newcastle breathing down our necks with two in hand.
Mountain and climb,come to mind!
When we all watch a football game thoughts will pop into your head based upon what you witness on the pitch, sprinkled with events surrounding a) Past b) Recent and c) Future timelines and events. Hard to control these thoughts when you have watched football for many years. Hard to steer them into a chosen direction. No-one knows where they come from, no-one knows what form they will materialise intoā¦ Like magic, they just pop into your head.
The thought that kept occurring to me during todays game taking these into accountā¦
a) - Pastā¦ Coming so close to winning the lot last season - Soul destroyingā¦ It seems to have hit those players hard
b) - Recentā¦ Thrashing the scum to remind us how good we can be
c) - Futureā¦ Massive game against RM in 3-4days time, maybe one eye on not getting injured so selection remains likely, the other eye on preserving energy so they can bust a gut this Wednesday.
Looking at that team of ours today, the thought that kept cropping up, and it was one I kept dismissingā¦ evidence on display is that some of them have turned into big game players only. Not exactly changed from workhorse to show ponies as suchā¦ but there seems to be a much more selfish streak of self preservation in a lot of them that was never there before.
Mixing with AOC and Keita on a daily basis is a constant reminder that any of them are just a cruel injury away from being finished in the top flightā¦ Looking at, and maybe learning from (this includes you Mo Salah), prima donna Ronald McDonald in the Utd strip preserving his energy and effort to bring him longevity and vast riches when most other footballers have retired ten years earlierā¦
Commitment was definitely lacking today if compared to the efforts put in last weekā¦
Made me think of the Tommy Smith story also - when he told Shankly his knee was giving him terrible pain and he didnāt think he could play in the next game at the weekendā¦ Shankly replied, saying it wasnāt his knee, it was a knee that belonged to LFC and only he as the manager of LFC would decide if he played that knee, that weekend or notā¦!
Hard to remember any prima donnas in the past that have built LFC into what we have becomeā¦ Not too keen to see any of the present squad morph into one. Just hope these lads get back to performing in the manner Jurgen has obviously drilled into them.

this performance still pisses me off. i think only Ali can escape any critiscism.
weve become a first goal team. get the first and we win. conceede the first and its game over. the reaction to their goal was awful.
We had planned to but the weather was freezing and the boys were kicking offā¦theyāre both now sick so today should be fun.
Weāll be back! Itās so easy to get hereā¦from our front door to driving off the train in Calais is just under three hours. Faster than flying!!
