This is the only gripe with Klopp for me his giving youth a chance is only really when hes had no other option.
Why did it have to be Everton?
Ignore is a great function.
No, Iām just saying people with these āhot takesā need to calm down a bit before posting.
Diaz is a good example. He was really good tonight. A few weeks ago lads here we saying he should be sold.
He got shown up as been a fool in the summer that everybody who thought the Dom signing was going to happen was an idiot.
Iāve silenced the lad until tomorrow 08:00. Now he can follow your advice.
Get lost with this shite.
Well shite ā¦ I didnāt think it would end this way for us, but it looks like the whole team is just completely knacker and out of sort. I donāt know how this happened, but maybe that Man U defeat in the FA Cup last month took the wind out of our sail. Our forwards not being able to put away chances doesnāt help as well.
To be honest our team always struggle against Low Blocking teams. On the other hand, teams that go toe to toe with us we dominate because we are so good on counter. This past two weeks have absolutely been dreadful to watch. Yes we a lot of of the possession, but all we do is just passing it on the periphery and when we run out of space on the flank we just hoofs it in hoping for the best. There were Grade A scoring chances but our forwards canāt finish.
The way we setup is so predictable, all our opposition would just low block with 2 lines of players and congest the middle. What needs to happen is someone from midfield to dribble and beat the first defender to create space and hence breaking the defensive line. Either we donāt have the players to do this or Klopp is just too stubborn to change a different method to attack. I donāt know what happened to Szbo, but he was supposed to be the midfielder that would give us the dribbling ability from midfield. What I think weāre missing is Matip ball carrying ability, and thatās why he was the perfect partner for VVD. Matipās ability to dribble the ball effectively breaks the line and create space for other players. At the moment we have no CB that can do that, and our midfielders canāt help with that as well. Hence our buildup becomes so static and easy to defend.
I am sad the title challenge is done and dusted, but on the other hand, I hope the players can now just play football without pressure. Enjoy football again, and make our gaffer proud with the best send off we can give him.
YNWA
Well change is coming.
New manager
CL football again
Its a shame obviously but we were ok before and weāll be ok again.
Ermā¦up yours?
that one hurts
you put @The-AllMightyReds in the timeout room?? that hurts my feelings
can wayne rooney stfu, the cunt
I think Everton played their hand well. They spotted a ref that would give literally every tackle as a free kick and dived accordingly. Eventually our players stopped intervening.
This. Two handed pushes on VVD and Konate, but any touch on them and hit the floor.
Thatās why Klopp was onto the 4th offical right in the first half, as he could see how this wuld play out over 90 minutes.
Having said that, we were sloppy and gave the ball away at times. Everton had a low block, kept on position, and waited for us to mess up. Then they would spring forward.
So well played to Dyche. On to Saturday.

Until the past few games, we HAVE been unlocking low blocks. In fact, weāve done better than those type of teams over the season. For me, itās just weāre running out of steam after battling through injuries, forwards losing the ability to finish, referees, etc.
Weāve been beaten by the bitters,the officials and by our own players tonight. Iām just glad itās a Wednesday game and not a Friday or Saturday.
Bring on the hammers
Nunez manages to snatch a miss from the jaws of a goal. Mind you he wasnāt the only one.
dude is more often than not snatching a miss from the jaws of a goal. its like a pleasant surprise when he actually scores
The way Mo has played since his injury, the team will be lucky to get 10p and a Curly Wurly for him. Utter gak.
true. But just simply a sad way for it to endā¦
it will be interesting to see how edward/hughes/Anna Scott approach this offseason in terms of transfers.
