Alsion is having a great game. Apart form him only Matip and Fab have been good. Salah is choked of any supply. He is the one who can score. Mane is so ordinary I wouldn’t mind bringing in Ox for him.

Definitely disappointed with our midfield three. This is a game where we needed Thaigo. Can Keita play 45mins?

As SYBM, Jürg’s got this. We are leading City into a false sense of security.

Salah brace by 75 mins and Ox off the bench to deliver the killer blow on 85’ with a 20 yard thunderbolt.

Crazy tactics from us. Jordan is pressing from the front right and then also pressing into Bobby territory, and then when City beat the press, a direct ball to our right side with Milner isolated against Foden,

Then we win the ball back, but we try an idiotic risky pass which City cuts out and attacks us again. The final 10 minutes was frustrating to watch.

Lucky we are 0-0 at the break. Klopp needs to make some tactical adjustments. Milner on card is dangerous without protection from others. Especially as they’ll put on pacey players to double up that side.

Went from decent, to bad, to horrific, to disgusting.

Matip the best in defence, Matip best in attacking.

The front three have got nothing from midfield. Jones has been anonymous. Lots of bad touches, passing.

We very, very lucky not to be 1 down.

I might bring on Keita, no point in changing the front three if they don’t at least get some service. Bobby still won’t get the ball if he comes on.

Need a major shakeup at halftime. Milner might need to come off. Rodent (spellcheck, haha) is getting better of him towards the end, and now he’s on a yellow.

Actually it was expected…without TAA and an overpowered MF…

Who said we can’t win a game with 30% possession though?

Long balls should go to Salah not just Mane as we are getting predictable

Is Thiago fit?

The draw at half time is well paid. Hope the break will bring some stamina back for 2nd half.

Milner too slow and a yellow should not start 2nd half. No midfield again. We are asking too much for young Jones. Keita or Ox to replace him.

Fabinho always gets bypassed by skillful players like this, not quick enough to get out to them.

Klopp doesn’t like a half time change, but he might need to get Milner off here. Carrying a yellow and almost got drawn into another one. Foden and Grealish are absolutely murdering him.

Time to regroup as a unit and time for JK to make some adjustements. Our midfield is way below par today. It’s such a shame that we’re only allowed 3 subs while the rest of the world is happy with 5 subs. This would be the perfect game for more than 3 subs :slight_smile:

I’d bring in TAA and Keita for Millie and Hendo.

Other than that, such a shame that we couldnt build on our decent start in the first 10,15 mins.
Still see us winning this one by a one goal margin, Mo to score with 10 mins to go :wink:

Gomez not really being used to RB duties can’t get in the way of him coming on.

Not sure where to start with this one. I have the feeling that this is what it’s like for other teams playing us most weeks.

I can’t see Milner lasting the whole game so we need to stick Gomez in at some point. What else can we change? We aren’t even getting chances on the break at the moment.

They are ruthlessly exploiting Milner, need Gomez on and at least make it harder for them.

Unfortunately need Bobby on as well as someone on in midfield…

The sad hope that we can’t be as shit 2nd half…

Our passing sucks, no set up for our forwards, and City is kicking our ass, so far. If we play like this in the 2nd half we’re in trouble for sure. Very disappointing!

Thiago’s injured.
