Hull (A) match thread

[McDermotX]

FT

Awful.

Perhaps a new low.

[Lecter]

You might be right. I personally don't give a **** about Everton....

Klopp will be under pressure soon. No matter what you say about net spend. No matter what ****in team he puts out, then we are going to have a ****in **** goalie, at least one if not two **** players in defense, a disjointed midfield.....

****in sick of it.

I haven't said anything about nett spend

Today only 2 of those starting were Klopp players

Max 3 in our best 11

Far too early to put him under pressure

[Robbie-9-Fowler]

This same team were on track to break all kinds of goalscoring records, what the **** has happened?

[Fredo]

Think mentally we just can't find solutions against teams that sit deep and allow us the ball. We just get frustrated when things don't happen and lose our nerve. It's mentally that we are weak. Thought that was the main thing that Klopp brought in, but we have reverted to the same old pattern once again.

[Kenneth]

same **** over and over and over. It's ridiculous and makes Klopp look like he doesn't know what to do.

[Lecter]

Not enough to get by the likes of Hull, Swansea, Southampton 2x, Plymouth on first attempt etc ?

We need more undoubtedly to push on, but if we are constantly, I would actually say stubbornly, approaching the situation the same way, against teams knowing we are setup the same way, then it is in the manager's remit to alter said approach. We're shooting ourselves in the foot this last month.

Clearly not as we didn't do it

Teams are negating our tactics but we can undo it by moving ball quick to wide areas at pace

But we are playing so slow

Early in the season we passed at pace

This is where I fundamentally disagree with Fredo who reckons us having huge possession is great. To me it's ****ing pointless if you are playing slow plodding football

Every game we have opportunities to get round teams but they are frequently missed as we pass the ball so slowly

Need to switch play quickly

[Lecter]

Combination of ...

They stopped doing what they were doing and teams hinder them

[Robbie-9-Fowler]

Its a myth that teams are only just sitting in deep against us though, it was happening earlier in the season too but it didn't really matter because we'd blow them away. Once we went 1 or 2 up they'd have no choice but to come out a bit.

We just look out of ideas, our movement isn't the same, our passing isn't the same, its just all stale all of a sudden

It's tempo for me

We don't press with any tempo anymore

Get your pressing tempo going and it sets a tone for everything else

Fredo keeps saying we can't press because we have the ball all the time but that's not entirely true. When we don't have the ball all game even for the 20 or 30% possession that the opposition have we don't press with any tempo

It's lethargic and lacking energy and this bleeds into the rest of our game

Our passing becomes slow and plodding. There's areas to exploit but we go into this slow passing rhythm that loses any opportunities we have we just end up gping side to side

Look at the goals we have scored in December, January and they have all come moving ball quickly into wide areas by switching the play

We just don't do it enough like we did early on in the season

[Fredo]

Talking about wide areas I hope Klopp plays a proper left back at some point. He slows down our play so much because of his natural inclination to take the ball on his right foot. It works when we're in full flow in other areas of the pitch but when things aren't working it sticks like a soar thumb.

If only we had a proper leftback

[RichC]

Too many Rodgers players who play slow are slow and have no bottle

You only find put about your players when things go badly

It's the players left over from the Rodgers era that are the problem on the whole.

Oh and Mignolet, a keeper like him breeds insecurity at the back, I'd be dropping him for the rest of the season and see ho Karius copes he can't be any worse

[Kenneth]

Not beating Hull, Sunderland, Plymouth, Swansea is not primarily a personnel issue, we have much better squads than any of them and should be able to do something to trouble them more than they do us. Klopp really should be getting better results with this squad, whether his ideal players or not.
