Atalanta 1st leg at home Thursday 8pm

[baitman]

The weight of our passing is leaving the receiving player short and either overstretched or we lose possession.
Really piss poor. Jones and timi looking like they haven't seen a ball before.

[Kenneth]

We're very lucky that they can't finish.

Could easily be 3 down

Yep, we got battered for the last 35 mins of that half. I’m sure Klopp will adjust things and the second half will be better though.

[Cerbie]

Timmy is doing his best Konchesky impression

Not harsh at all. Need to get Bradley on and switch Gomez to LB. He has been great but worth giving him 10 mins on the other side before bringing Robbo on.

[BigChief]

Lucky it's not Crystal Palace tonight. Crystanbul is coming on the weekend.

Konate and Gakpo (can I add the second o now?) passing has been dreadful. Jones is only 65% fit, so it's ok he's getting game time. But Gomez has been as useless as a lamppost, mostly just ball watching on his heels. Kelleher let in two howlers in two games (sure you can blame Quansah but no goalie should be beaten like he was against Bruno).

I think Klopp is checking out early. His face has aged 15 years in the last 45 minutes. Time for something fresh. Something more defensive.

You'd be silly to bet against us coming back but right now these guys have the measure of us. I worry that we've fallen into the old LFC emotional trap of believing that emotion - in this case "doing it for Klopp" - will get us over the line. It's undoubtedly a credit to Klopp that he probably has had us overachieving up til now. And maybe we'll go on and win this and a trophy. But we seem off or maybe closer to where we're actually at right now. And yet we should have beaten ****in 115 Charges City. Darwin probably best sums us up at the moment. And that's not a comfort. Capable of the sublime but so far but probably not when it really matters.

[DerKrampus]

Fortunately our bench is very strong, unfortunately, we can't bring them all on.

I reckon we need Diaz, Salah, Bradley and Robertson on.

[Buzzo]

We're very lucky that they can't finish.

Could easily be 3 down

Could easily be 2-3 tho. Nunez missed a sitter and Elliot hit the bar.

Need to make changes tho

Yeah, feels a bit like running out of gas. You can rely on that spirit for a while but if you keep missing at one end and giving chances at the other it's going to catch up with you. And that's where we are at the moment. Feels like we're trying to stagger across the line.

[BobTheCharmer]

Keeper has done well in Allison's absence but we keep conceding. He doesn't organise those around him as well.

The kids gave us energy and got us going at turn of the year. Now everyone is back, they're nowhere to be found. It's the established players letting us down.

Entire back line have been really ****. Virgil looks like he's knackered tonight.

[Buzzo]

Crouchy is literally nearly twice the height of the presenter. It’s like some sort of optical illusion.

[Venton]

Could easily be 2-3 tho. Nunez missed a sitter and Elliot hit the bar.

That's not really a comfort is it? It's the story of the second half our season.

It’s one bad half where we've made changes.

Let’s not over react just yet

Have to say I think our midfield has been pretty non-existent. The forwards are playing like individuals as well, there isn't any concerted press. You can't afford to keep turning over the ball and having them run at us like a knife through butter.

[danperkins]

I reckon we might see some changes at half time. I know Klopp doesn't usually do that but its has literally been that bad.

If that was the first time we'd said that this season I'd feel as confident as you. It's not though. We might go on to win this but our run of performances won't win us the league going forward.
