This isn’t Klopps fault, its a transition period. Sometimes the desire of the playing staff are not necessarily duplicated at the ownership level. The owners have made their decision…we all know that.
As I said a couple of decent matches, clearly one he was good. If I recall he was poor the one after.
It’s pretty irrelevant anyway, last night he was poor. He kept passing it to them, kept running into their players and losing the ball up field and his defending was terrible, the lack of any sort of effort to get tight to Mahrez then offering him the freedom of the box to shoot was abysmal.
This is a guy who had a full month off, he’s meant to be a senior player he should be doing the basics right every game.
It is but we should have seen it coming and addressed it.
Not a criticism of Klopp as such but there is an art to moving from a squad that’s peaked to another without losing a step. Injuries have played a massive part in that no doubt but we are really off the boil for the first time under Klopp.
Thought we played fine considering our lineup tbh. Robbo and Gomez with bad decisions at the back, not getting tight enough - some of which I’m willing to write off as a lack of sharpness.
That Mahrez first touch (City players often say he’s the one with the best first touch at the club) was pure filth to be fair, we gave to give him some credit as well. Robbo must do better there, but it’s also the attacker who made the biggest difference.
That Ref is awful, he is a Manc right? Everytime i see that he is involved in officiating one of our games either be it on the pitch or involved with VAR, i fear the worst.
