Liverpool v City

[Charly]

Yeah... Wijnaldum was the start. Thiago was a good signing, but a poor replacement as he does not have the same energy levels (or fitness). We should have bought someone with a similar skillset. Most of us have been saying that as Ox and Keita clogged up the medical bay and Milner got old... Now Hendo and Thiago have no legs and Fab is playing poorly

And all we have is a teenager playing out of position with none of the qualities that a Klopp midfield requires.

This for me is unacceptable in terms of squad management. Our transfer policy has been amazing up until that point... but now we need 3 new midfielders who can hit the ground running, and definitely a right back as We have totally ruined Trent by not having a proper deputy to give him a rest

I think Thiago (or the idea of a fit Thiago) was exactly what we needed. That extra layer of control, finesse, calmness and ball progression.

The problem was not adding legs around him as other legs were either sold or started to age.

Even at Bayern Thiago was not meant to be the all action guy (though like with us he did not lack for effort there) and they put a young up and coming Goretzka alongside him (not unlike if we put a Bellingham or Thuram type beside him) and he had Kimmich behind him as the more defensive reader of the game but still very mobile.

We brought in Thiago, a guy that excels when he has mobile guys around him as he can find anyone with a pass, and then did not add extra quality/movement around him.

He's one spikey c*nt. Not allowed to challenge him on anything or he turns nasty. Narcissist.

Losing and being **** is one thing. What annoyed me the most the whole game was how they were stringing 50 passes with the crowd going HEY HEY each time, and our joke players just sat back and watched. Zero effort in pressing or even destroying one of them.

Not arsed about that, Klopp crossed the line on many occasions, fair play to lads for not being dicks.

Klopp's lost his rag with people before and been exuberant in his own celebrations. I've never seen him get in opposition players faces to goad them like that.

For me its a non thing, I can understand if others are pissed, but for me it a meh moment. Considering we've been dicked, last of our worry's

I think it was a great decision and I love the guy, but I dont think he was "needed" for the system to work. He was a nice to have. But we should have got that other player in, if only because of the lack of reliability of everyone else in the midfield.

I just think he’s a contemptible, classless, cheating prick.

It’s neither here nor there in terms of our fortunes. I just hate losing to the ****.

So many tactical fouls, yet again. It's relentless, and breaking up any chance of the opposition turning them over on the counter is key to their ability to commit so many bodies forward. Wouldn't be so easy with 9 men on the pitch. I don't see how the officials can lessen the offence because of where they happen in the pitch, the impact is just as important to the flow of the opposition attack
