Atalanta 1st leg at home Thursday 8pm

Szoboslai gives up on the chance after his mistake. Criminal.

He has been worryingly dreadful for quite some time now. Made us worse when he came on.

Such a shame for Kelleher to finish the season with that performance.

Becker in goal and it could have been a single goal diffrence tonight.

Didn't watch the game but if 6th and they got beaten comfortably at weekend suspect this is their priority. We've been too reliant on coming from behind a late winners this year. Won't work out long term on average.

I thought he had a good 5 mins when he came energy wise… but then he was all over the place and we need the midfield to be doing there jobs. Sort of like those bad Gerrard games where he tried to do everything.

Robbo was decent, and Jota got chances. Gakpo better than usual. Thats it really.

[Venton]

I need to watch this back to work out what was going on at the back. Kostas went awol for the first, but how did the CBs just vanish for a couple of goals, like, they were nowhere near? It looked like Virgil and Konate did a lot of Jogging tonight.

Move up at the wrong time en masse and Atalanta turned us over in midfield. Their forwards stayed up instead of running back which is not what we're used to. Poor concentration but the whole lot didn't look like they moved as a team tonight. Maybe they fooled themselves as so many teams sit right back at Anfield knowing we struggle against that, so fair play to Atalanta for putting the sword right up us.

Thursday 8pm local time KO ( before some other ****er starts a thread & curses us . )

No idea who we rest / rotate & how strong we go. I saw they lost 2-1 on the weekend but not sure if they rested players for this or not.

You got cocky SB. Cocky never wins.

Let's know won't you? I'm definitely not watching it back.

After the first half a dozen games he was being heralded by everyone, potential signing of the season etc, but he’s got progressively worse with every game. He talked about feeling lonely, maybe he’s not settled.

I'm in my cups listening to an acoustic Geomungo album to cleanse my mind.

I guess so.

I have a horrible feeling the season is going to implode now and we'll be a laughing stock. Need to absolutely smash Palace and regain focus.

Yeah the last few results/performances have largely been poor, and has effectively ended our FA Cup and Europa League chances. The Man Utd result last week on it's own wasn't terrible but the position it put us in and the context of the FA Cup tie and imminent exit from Europe it does make you worry that way.

Do we think the enormity of it has caught up with them,the pressure has got to us or we have just run out of legs or what?

Yep, questions are rightly being asked. We need a response.

Got to go strongest team possible in every league game now.

Crowd need to show up also.

Need a massive result, we essentially need the Liverpool side that start games quickly get a 2 or 3 goals ahead then cruise through the 2nd half comfortably and win tye game 4 or 5 nil. Unfortunately we haven't seen that side all season. We have found ourselves going behind in so many games but having to play right up to the end every game is exhausting

[DerKrampus]

We should **** this off and go all in for the league.

[danperkins]

How is it possible for literally every single players to be utterly dreadful? It doesn't make sense, not one single player comes out of that with any sort of credit. The worst thing of all apart from the result of course was that it was a lazy performance with no fight.

Can't be legs, surely. Weird thing is we're actually worse the more regular starters we get back. Maybe they're not really ready, or maybe the kids just care a bit more.

[Rafa Justice]

Not one player gets any credit tonight.

Atalanta made it difficult all over the pitch. Deserved the win.

If Nunez takes his chance at 0-0 it can be all different. That was a ****ing terrible miss, very angry about that one not even hitting the ****ing target.

Defence was a total shambles all through the match.

Don't get your hopes up on the title, that will be done based on this showing.
