We have someone in Curtis who can change the game, possibly the only one on the bench that can. Its a choice between Curtis for Shaq and hope he can help creat more giving Bobby a chance or swapping Bobby for Origi. While i think Bobby has played worse than Shaq the better incoming player is Curtis. I also think that would free Bobby up from coming back so much, almost all his touches have been near the halfway line where he promptly passes forward to a Brighton player, at least he can’t do that so badly in their box

Hard at the moment as we don’t have the cards in the pack, pace wise, to effect Brightons defense
Infuriating half. 11 statues passing the ball at snail pace.
Wake the hell up, they are playing as if they are doing a chore.
Firmino has played poorly but you’d be mental to take him off before Shaqiri. Shaq is a total passenger, at least Firmino has had a couple of moments and works hard off the ball.
Exactly all this we haven’t made runs is nonsense.
I expect the intensity to ramp up in the second half.
I think a few a playing within themselves, maybe with an eye on the weekend
Nothing to worry about yet.
Curtis for Firmino move Shaqiri central, what about that? (not my idea got it a few posts back @mazinsalih2003 ).
If not just Origi on for Firmino on present form that’s much better.
I like Gini at number 6 for his defensive duties but he does lack the range of passing for that role so therefore has to concentrate on giving the ball to players that can pick the lock.
Milly has looked a little ‘leggy’ today
Yeah, I don’t expect him to distribute it expensively but he hasn’t done the basics well tonight either IMO.
Milner and Shaq are the obvious subs to make second half, with Jones + Origi/Chamberlain to come on.
Henderson is finding runs from our forwards so why can’t our midfield?

So 451? Only asking as that leaves 5 midfielders on and none of those look good as a 2nd striker.
Edit, sorry but on current form i still dont think Origi is playing better than Bobby.
Quit the Shaq on left experiment. Get him in the number 10 at tip of diamond. Salah and Bobby up top.
Milner carrying leg injury, so probably first off for Curtis. Klopp, please don’t do a Steven Caulker out of Ben Davies by putting him on in last 5 mins up top (after letting in a sloppy 84th minute goal).
Apart from that first Salah chance, Brighton have since tightened up at the back. Can they keep the shape for another 45 minutes?
Who are your midfielders, Jones can play wing, Salah is there, Shaqiri can play up front as well. What are you on??? I want some!!
Shaq on the right, Salah through the middle and Bobby on the left for the start of the 2nd???
Poor reffing there.
Played 2 penetrating passes and both miscontrolled by Mo then Gini
Fcku off ref no foul there
Shaqs is lost tonight.
Foul on Gini if anyone.

It doesn’t fit the excuse for them not playing well.
Seems to me like you’ve already taken something. Gini, Millie, Shaq, Thiago are all midfielders. Curtis if he comes on for Bobby is a midfielder leaving Mo to play lone striker. If you don’t believe me that those 5 are classed as midfielders feel free to go and check on any football site. It’s all well and good saying Shaq can play up front but most people tend to think he’s better at the tip of a diamond, in your case our 5 sided diamond. Next time check facts before suggesting im on something
