Yeah, I wasn’t too concerned until a lot of the backroom staff started leaving. That’s pretty telling that there’s something now structurally wrong at the club. The amount of money invested in the squad should be seeing better returns this season. Klopp is very good but not a miracle worker, and he needs to show a bit more adaptability in the current environment. Losing Mane and replacing him with Nunez should have seen a big paradigm shift in our matchday approach, because Mane pressing from the front was one of the main things that made the 4-3-3 system work. Failing to adapt to that has cost us dearly this season. That, and not investing in the midfield which all of us could see needed some investment.

I honestly don’t get it, how can a manager of Klopp’s ability watch us and not see problems?

We do not press
The highline is fucked without midfielders/attackers condensing the pitch (i.e. pressing)
Our posession is stale and slow
We play suicide balls across field all game
Our defensive shape lacks any sort of communication or structure

The whole structure is wrong, it has been all season bar a few glimpses. Whatever he is trying to do has failed. He needs to accept he’s failed, get back to having a workhorse midfield gobbling up the pitch and ball for 95 mins week in week out.

@Dutch

Don’t put words in my mouth never said we are loosing because of Atwell. You always seem to make these snipe remarks towards me, put me on ignore if you don’t like what I write

The fucking problem is that if we’re crap, and the referee makes a clanger we’re not allowed to talk about it because we’ve been shit. Apparently.

Nobody is saying we were robbed by the referee. But that all fucking day long is a foul, Atwell plays on because he is a fucking cunt.

And we we were shit. Is that OK, forum police?

I thought you were the forum police??

Klopp to be questioned?

God knows what they’ve been doing in this mini pre season but we somehow look even worse than before.

[RedOpium]

A reality check we won the previous 4.

[Wilkored08]

So Greenwood could play then?

[jabu]

was always gonna be tough to be fair… we dont have squad to compete every two days

[anon59854308]

on a positive note,

judging by tonights performance, the lads must have had a really good New Years Eve!

[Sportbilly1966]

We dont ever change our play from our forwards, the always come inside rather than going on the putside to beat their man and put in a low hard cross or chop one back it is becoming too easy to play against when teams park the bus

[Wilkored08]

Should’ve been sensible like me…

It might help if the FA can get their thumbs out of their arses at some point over the next week at let us register Gakpo.
