Agree here our offensive passing when we have players open has been wrong in direction and also weight of pass

Although he could do without playing fucking stupid backheels when we just need to keep the ball for ten. For all the shit that Gomez is getting, that caused the pen.

Need to be more clinical, weā€™ve wasted several good openings. And bring a third midfielder on.

Massive lack of appreciation of the situation by Wijnaldum for their goal. He had to stay on De Bryne. Opened up the field for them!
Salah and Firmino are not doing the business as well as losing the ball cheaply.
We look good most of the time. Wijnaldum is finding lots of space (but not moving the ball quickly enough). Our pressing is very good (except on their goal).
We create chances and should be up our finishing needs to improve.

Maybe but the call was legit as per the rules

Nothing hes just now became the scapegoat for everything.

That was the point of my question.

Itā€™s nonsense. The rules cannot require the impossible, it makes a mockery of the supposed fairness of the game.

Like I saidā€¦not moaningā€¦just thinking out loud.

Not a penatty for me. Running back at pace, then twist body to actively avoid touching the ball - and the ball is being crossed in, not a Ghana- Suarez off the line thing.

Stupid rule thatā€™s slowly killing the game.

The only thing I wish we would do more is to take shots. We have had about 4 instances where a shot could have been taken however we decided to pass.

I think itā€™s actually Henderson thatā€™s caught up the pitch, Gini is doing all the midfielding against three city lads.

We miss those long shots

Hate bloody handball rules. Obviously Gomez is doing everything he can to get out of the way, but we all knew it would be given.

Interesting in that when they have possession we have dropped in to a 4 4 2, and looked solid in it what is hurting us is in transition moving from an offensive 4 2 4 to the 4 4 2, there is too much space in midfield for De Bruyne

I donā€™t agree that Firmino has been completely anonymous as some say. He has had good runs. Once Salah had a good idea, made a pass that was slightly too inaccurate to Firminio who had made a very intelligent run between defenders. Firmino isnā€™t as bad as some say. Or at least thatā€™s my opinion. He moves around.
And the thesis that Klopp plays him because of media criticism is just silly. Our manager is much too serious a person for that.

I would also say this is a level Jota hasnā€™t been in the middle of before. Think he was starting to grow into it though, and certainly hasnā€™t been bad.

Mo has been outstanding- finding the space, seeing and playing great passes. Just maybe a little too unselfish

Donā€™t have fucking kids.

Two really good teams. Could go either way but think we might need to strengthen the midfield
