Huddersfield (H) build up & match thread and post match recriminations

Flogging a dead horse?

I'm going to go with psychologically he couldn't be dropped after being subbed in the first half but whether he has a mare or the game of his life he'll be dropped for the next game.

Tactical retreat.

You're kidding right? Lovren has a stormer then Klopp will think his tactics have worked and make him his favourite again (did I say again?). I don't know what will be worse for us mid term, whether Lovren stinks the joint or again or whether he has a worldie.

That is the life of a Liverpool fan nowadays.

Would rather have 20 men than have Klaven on the pitch.

That would be properly cheating.

That would be properly cheating.

That would imply we were gaining an advantage.

They're set up to be more defensive than a mourinho side.

What a waste by Firmino, we had a huge overlap.

Got to wonder if Ox and Robertson were signed by the committee. It's ****ing bizarre. The club's a ****ing mess. Still.

Ox was supposedly on Klopp's radar after he saw him first hand when Dortmund played Arsenal. I can understand why we signed him if we had:

1) Also signed a centre back or two
2) Had a genuine rotation policy where he rested Mane or Salah frequently

The mad thing is even with Phil, Mane and Lallana out he can't get a start so what does that say for him? The even madder thing is spending £35m on a guy with a year left on his contract when we were crying out for a CB.

Robertson was needed due us needing a LB but again the mad thing is Moreno being first choice when he couldn't get a look in last year.

We might well win today comfortably but from the outside looking in there are some really strange decisions around the playing staff at the club. Again we seem to be lacking a plan in our transfers and I had hoped Klopp would be ruthless with our weaker players but he seems to want to babysit them.

i have to ask, has klavan ever seen a football before?

You can normally tell after 10 mins how we are going to play and.......it looks like it will be a tough afternoon

Well without Coutinho and Mane has this team ever been brilliant? Not sure.

We're looking alright, but they are trying to drop deep which is our kryptonite.

Is Klavan trying to make Lovren look like Beckenbauer today?

In fairness to Moreno he has been much better this season, but I am still surprised at how little Robertson has been involved.

The CB situation is pure madness. I can't really believe that we have gone into this with the same back 5 that started against Spurs

Great play from salah and bobby
