Fair play to anyone finding some positives there.

Get Rhys on, Ox off, Hendo back in Mid.

i.e, revert to the logical starting lineup

HT 0-1 we've been ****e.

If we don't want to win the league we are certainly going the right way about it. Second to everything, zero shape or tempo and passing sloppy. Genuinely awful performance in that first half.

[Venton]

I don’t disagree with you, but it says something when Klopp prefers to play 2 midfielders over Nat and Rhys.

Not having a pop at you mate, just wondering what Klopp is thinking. I get not wanting to use both of them but surely we're losing more than we're gaining here today.

By the way, I'm not faulting the effort today, we're working hard, but the shape's looking off and the technique is off.

Only 1-0?

On this showing, United will tear us a new one next week... and go six points clear

[Roboklopp]

Why is that a freekick? Why is that a corner? Cunts.

FFS, its like the blind leading the blind with the officials we've been lumbered with tonight

[Slinky Skills]

We've been ****ing terrible these last few games. That's one of the worst first half performances I've seen for some time, ponderous garbage.

[BootRoom]

We've been poor, but not as bad as the Fulham game. I think this lot will tire in the second half; whether we can take advantage is a different story.

Only 1-0?

[Big-Red-Ed]

Hard to find any positives there. If we can tweak our shape a bit it will help our tempo

No. That we have no fit centre backs. The decision to play Hendo instead of Williams or Phillips is a conscious one, not an enforced one. We can debate whether it's a good decision, probably after the game.

I said senior centre backs. Rhys and Phillips had 1 League cup appearance for us between them before this season.

Yes it’s a conscious one because he isn’t convinced by either of them. I’m sure Klopp never expected things being so bad as to having to play either of them alongside our DM.

Feels like we need to tear it up a bit with the formation and try something new. We used to have a formation with Salah through the middle. Got to be workers a try.
