Ozwin Posted 26 December 2015 Share Posted 26 December 2015 Looked like everyone had too much Christmas dinner except Kante who obviously had leftover Duracell sandwiches this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GingerrrFox Posted 26 December 2015 Share Posted 26 December 2015 The game today exposed our lack of depth in the midfield today. Kante has to do the job of two in there as Andy King went full on missing in action. He did nothing of note with the ball and was caught ball watching plenty of times in defence. Absolutely dreadful today. He's not good enough. We looked better when Dyer, Ulloa and Kramaric came on, changes should have been made much earlier as everyone could see from the first half it wasn't working. Fair play to Kramaric who after being out the side for so long showed commitment and determination to sprint all the way back to our goal line to block that 2nd shot!

midland_red Posted 26 December 2015 Share Posted 26 December 2015 Following this only on FT and it sounded like we were shite and lucky not to lose by more. Still....we can't expect to win every game - there will always be off days. I just hope this wasn't a case of over-indulgence (still remember the Brighton defeat the match after we went up...) Key takeaway for me is that we lack strength in depth and we need to strengthen in January. Oh and CR - there are times when it is right to tinker!!! Bring on Man City!

The Guvnor Posted 26 December 2015 Share Posted 26 December 2015 We were second best all over the park today so no real complaints with the result. We only started to put them under pressure in the last 10 mins but tactical time wasting with two subs and Sakho laying on the floor clutching his hamstring killed it dead. Next!

ImBlue Posted 26 December 2015 Share Posted 26 December 2015 To be expected playing with 10 men. Get Ulloa back in for Man City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnglishOxide Posted 26 December 2015 Share Posted 26 December 2015 Not at our best today, partly due to missing Drinkwater and keeping Okazaki on for too long but partly due to Liverpool matching us up and keeping up with the work rate. King ****ing missing again. He's too passive and never takes a game by the balls. Kramaric did what he could in his 15 mins. Let's pick ourselves up quickly.

Grewks Posted 26 December 2015 Share Posted 26 December 2015 Shows a lot of people on here a bit of realism as to where we are. Top 4 would still be a miracle. We have a couple of top top players in mahrez (who didn't turn up today) and Kante (Arguably MOTM in every game he has played). Then some good ones in Huth, Vardy, Morgan, Fuchs, Drinkwater....and then some average ones. Whether you like it or not, we don't have the 'technical ability' to achieve the top 4.....we will only do so from other teams not achieving what they should. But this is the beginning of Ranieri's project, I cant wait for the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nod.E Posted 26 December 2015 Share Posted 26 December 2015 They did a job on us. Closed us down and controlled the middle of the park and that's something other teams have failed to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dominicmsb Posted 26 December 2015 Share Posted 26 December 2015 Drinkwater's passing was missed heavily I feel. Kante + Morgan were great. Kramaric not up to Premier League level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-MaTaN- Posted 26 December 2015 Share Posted 26 December 2015 King is not good enough for this level, Same with Dyer, Leo and Kram.I just hope that the right people understands now how poor we are without Vardy and Ryad and we'll get some high level player soon.

dylanlegend Posted 26 December 2015 Share Posted 26 December 2015 Guys bit of perspective. Liverpool at Anfield aren't pushovers!! Klopp is also one of the best managers in the world and frankly he did a good job on us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyfox Posted 26 December 2015 Share Posted 26 December 2015 Kaspers distribution was shocking , king ain't good enough and I think teams will realise if they play 442 we will struggle. We move on and look at man city but tbh I think we will get smashed if we play like that against them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katieakita Posted 26 December 2015 Share Posted 26 December 2015 Re the goal, would look at Huth who allowed Benteke to pull away from him, one of their better performances and we were poor today, the best team won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chester Dontlie Posted 26 December 2015 Share Posted 26 December 2015 Oh well so it goes Kante and Morgan were head and shoulders above others imo, while King and Albrighton had a mare. That was probably the poorest offensive display I've seen this season from City. I should probably stop posting here, my first match thread and I'm afraid I jinxed the result Still top of the league lads. Safety just a few points away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pasty1 Posted 26 December 2015 Share Posted 26 December 2015 Liverpool worked really hard today.... That will take a lot out of them....... We weren't at our best .... but losing 1-0 to them away ain't no disgrace...... Hope Drinky's fit for Man City.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted 26 December 2015 Share Posted 26 December 2015 Oka pretty much didn't touch the ball after he was kept on over Vardy and Mahrez (who were both also poor) but I'm sure they would have at least got involved! Kram got his chance and pranced about like Bambi again. You sound a bit stupid. Vardy didn't hardly touch the ball in 80 mins and you complain about the last 10 mins of Okazaki and Kram. 10 mins isn't much of a chance. I'd actually say we had more chance of scoring in the last 10 than the rest of the game. We actually got into them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARM1968 Posted 26 December 2015 Share Posted 26 December 2015 3pts from a possible haul of 6 in Merseyside ain't too bad. I'll take that. Far too many players missing in action today. Hope DD is fit for Man City or else give Inler a run out. Kante can't do it on his own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fridgechef Posted 26 December 2015 Share Posted 26 December 2015 i think klopp was smart, granted we were not our best, but klopp masterminded vardy and mahrez getting no service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
