unlike villa at least we didnt concede moreā€¦

Iā€™ve questioned Origiā€™s attitude in the past, but it appears the whole team has an attitude problem today. Started the game like it was going to be a stroll in the park. A really disgusting performance and itā€™s going to be difficult to turn this around.

Why donā€™t we ever have an average game. Weā€™re either brilliant or shite. The latter is being kind to them.:rage::flushed:

Yeah, this second half is a golden chance for our guys to show what they are made of. We are lucky it is 1 goal up and not two though. That would have been more difficult. But I am very sure we get an entirely different Liverpool next half !
I do think we can and will win this.

Picked up towards the tail end of that half, but the majority of that half has been dreadful all over the park.

Bypassed midfield too often with aimless long balls, it doesnā€™t help when the midfield trio arenā€™t getting a foothold on the game.

Firmino has been really poor, I just want him to hit a pass with conviction, that casual shit needs to stop.

We need to up the tempo in the second half, really have a good opportunity to go top.

No sign of it at all. At this point Iā€™d take a draw.

Injuries are starting to take a toll. Too many many minutes for the available players, and far fewer options to change from game to game or with subs. Seriously need some people to get healthy and stay healthy.

Nice one mateā€¦ You made me laugh there even after that performanceā€¦ On a serious note really sad for himā€¦ He has been so unluckyā€¦

Personal needs to change.
Jones and Bobby swap with origi and Philips.
Shift fab to mid to control the game.
Maybe give bobby till 60 to see if he can influence the game in 2nd half.

Fulham played really well for the first 35 minutes, like Leicester circa 2016. 5 at back, allow us to play around with the ball, but then counter fast and direct, ending with a good goal.

Prior to that, the VAR ref trying to do us over as usual, but for a change the ref got it spot on.

Last 10 mins, we finaly started to get some control of the game, and Mane and Salh getting chances, with Maneā€™s in particular shouldā€™ve done better.

Klopp to make some slight tactical adjustments and we should make a fast start to the second half. Weā€™ll give way some counter situations, but need to be positive.

I want to go back over previous matches and see if we have struggled to attack in other matches against 3-5-2 formations. Lack the time tho.

Did Villa play three across the back? United?

Fulham look good.

Souness trying to be contrarian lol

To hell with a draw!! They need to win, go two up and then beat the Spurs to pad their lead. The PL standings are to close to play letā€™s just get a draw. Strike fast, Strike hard, Strike to WIN, thatā€™s what true Champions do!

The problem is most definitely how tired Robbo, Hendo and Sadio look. Thatā€™s not gonna change in 15 minutes of hair-drying.

This first half reminded me of our display vs. Villa.

Trent has been injured for some time, but still for the last 6 months his form is not good enough for all the plaudits he gest.
Our three midfielders were/are awful, Gini loosing the ball or making schoolboy mistakes. Jones shaky and Hendo using too many long balls, because the front three are in a hiding mode.

Firmino has a nightmare, awful 45 minutes. Salah and Mane look lost, Fulhamā€™s players want it more.

We are lucky that the result is still 1-0, but it will be really difficult. Obviously them players started the game with the wrong mindset - expecting easy win vs. newly promoted side. And the result is obvious - the Cottagers outplay and outperform us.

Our only player who had a good 45 minutes is Alisson and that says it allā€¦
