No, but this current midfield is better than any midfield since Thiago’s arrival…

Szobo has been rightly praised to high heaven so far this season. Was awful today. Worst player on the pitch for me. Hopefully just a bad day at the office

Núñez, Salah, Jota, Szoboszlai, Mac Allister and TAA were poor, you kan not expect winning in the PL when 6 out of the 11 are poor.

Endo would’ve played more so far if he was meriting it enough. Hopefully he will, but so far we’ve been picking the most meriting individuals in midfield. And our balance still isn’t there yet. By the way, counter-pressing doesn’t depend only on midfield (referring to what Klopp said, if that’s exactly what he said), more often than not it actually starts again from our forwards in sync with the midfielders behind them.
Sorry: are you saying that they’re all poor players?
They had an off day today; doesn’t mean they are shit.

I would say 9 of the 11 were poor.
I agree, Luton are shit though.

Luton supporters were full of class, chanting the victims chant as well as laying into poverty.
Despicable cunts with their quaint cottages and shite football.
Pure wankfest on SKY about them, including Carragher.

You have to toe the Sky line to be employed by them. Although Souness sometimes rebels, he bites his tongue in order to appease his paymasters.

Well Gomez played on the wrong side of the pitch so I cut him some slack.

Well I was guessing that he wasn’t referring to literal cannibalism!
The midfield actually performed as I thought they would at the beginning of the season: not entirely familiar with who was meant to be where. They all felt a bit off. Elliot seemed an impact when he came on but the starting mids didn’t seem to know what the game plan was.
Problem with some replies here is everyone bar the odd one is crap, it’s not it’s just been a bad day at the office which it evidently was. The game should of still be won with the chances we had in that first half.
If the first half had been like most of the second half I’d be worried but it wasn’t. Klopp was too slow to go to the bench to be honest.
Yeah results like this will ultimately put the title beyond us along with the ref shithousery. But nothing massively worries me bar the final score.

Let’s start with credit to Luton. Minnows, and they fought well and showed some quality, so they deserve a day in the sun.
Obviously if we play anything close to our level, the three points come back to Liverpool, but we were well off.
It’s a long list of players who were poor. It was also Szobo’s worst day.
Nunez had some good sighters early on but that miss was a bad one. Salah was bad too, with his miscontrol right at the death summing up his day. Salah tried to score with the header too, but badly mistimed it, and squared it to Nunez, who fluffed his lines.
It was a bad day all round, and we can’t afford many of those if we want to stay in a meaningful title fight. Fortunately a few teams are dropping points this season, so we are still thereabouts.
Final word goes to Luis Diaz. Nice goal, and well done that lad for having the strength to play. I hope there’s good news about his dad soon.

I thought we were done with our usual shite-away-at-minnows tendency but nah.

Why do we always drop points to the teams near the bottom of the league? Is it an attitude problem? This has gone on for seasons now. I wonder if any other top six team has dropped as many points as we have against teams in the bottom three and teams who were relegated at that season’s end?

How Ross Barkley was made to look one of the best players on the pitch is a crime
