    Absolutely.

    Not a ****ing chance you leave Gerrard with the ball with a free shot 20-30 yards out.

      It's a dying art.
      Diaz and Gakpo both have good shots from distance right? In theory at least (I don't think Gakpo has managed a shot in anger so far!)

      I wonder if it was something we were looking for in our more recent signings.

        And it is not as though we do not have a number of guys who are clean strikers of the ball and good from distance.

        Thiago, Diaz, VVD and Salah come to mind straight away.

        TAA and Keita have a good shot on them too.

        Defenders have to come out if they think a long range zinger is on the way and even if they do not, a keeper might fumble a shot or a blocked shot might cause chaos in the box or cause a deflected goal.
        I don't hate people. I just feel better when they aren't around.

          Not sure about Naby...I have seen some zingers on youtube, but can't get past his effort in the Champions League final. to the rest though, particularly your last para. And let us not forget how Brighton's first goal at the weekend came about.

            Low blocks/bus parkers are more than happy for opposition to shoot from distance.

            It doesn't disrupt their compact shape and the shooter has a forest of bodies to get the ball around or through.

              They are happy because the stats suggest it is on average a waste of time. And that's clearly the case woth shots from centre backs in no hoper positions, but we had a number of opportunities in the second-half of the Brighton game that weren't like that and would've concerned the defenders. And goals are of course game changing.

                Brighton didn't park the bus though. They played an attacking game with loads of possession.

                  Personally I think having a few guys in the team who are known to like a pop from 25 yards helps to force teams that park the bus to break their deep lines a bit as they would have to commit a player or two to come out to attempt a block when one of the long rangers get the ball, and then there is space created for the forwards again.

                    Gerrard, Suarez, Coutinho and Sturridge all played in that game.

                      How have we gone from last season being 2 games from winning the lot to this season getting destroyed by Brighton and Wolves
                      The only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved.

                        I don't mind us being **** but its the level of drop off that is mental, if this was 4-5 years on it might make sense but 6 months later

                          Be nice if our number 9 could finish. Or our new Bobby played like Bobby. Goals would definitely help.

                            **** this. Klopp is going to turn this around lads, he has to he has no other choice. I'm sure he will change things ahead of the next game, he'll be ****ing fuming after that today and the last few games.

                            Time to get behind him and the players now, they need us more than ever.

                              Why will it change now? Surely he was fuming beforehand? He doesn't have a clue what to do. I can't remember anyone turning this sort of blip around. I hope he does, truly, but I doubt he will. It's sad, really sad how this is going.
