We're way to passive,once again the lack of a physical presence is costing us.

Thing is, we wouldn't play this way against anyone outside of the 'the big 6' so why do we do it vs them? Really pissing me off. We may aswell just give them the points and the only person who cant see it is brendan 

[Vacamion]

I think I speak for many of us when I say that was dog bob, I didn't enjoy it and I'd quite like to see something different 2nd half. 

 

Still, at 0-1, there's still hope.

sorta agree, but then unless you there you  only get what the tv wants you to hear  .. Sooo different

 

 

If we can draw tonight id be buzzing. as much as i duno want LFC to win Id so take a draw now (would  have at start) 

 

The action on the pitch doesn't change according to TV coverage though...

[Fox in the North]

Can’t work out if we’re giving them

too much respect or if we’re just not that good yet (but best of the rest bar Man City). Probably both!

 

Think we look very inexperienced compared to Liverpool, but that will come as we have a very young team.

[st albans fox]

well we look more composed on the ball than we did on Saturday - lpool not pressing as well as Man City but they look to have just as much class on the ball - men v boys I’m afraid

To all the people saying bring Nacho on, he’s not on the bench.

Bring him on!

At least he will press, tackle and give 100%. Barnes is not physically up to it. 

As I said before a young team will be more nervous and not up to it mentally.  Put Hamza and Albrighton on.  Take Tielemans and Barnes off.

 

Fuchs probably should have played instead of Chilwell.

[dylanlegend]

Rodgers needs to sort the tactics versus the big teams, we need to press teams like this, put world class players under pressure and stop trying to out play them 

[bfox]

they are just so well drilled like Man City. Notice the tactical fouling again as soon as one of our players gets a chance to break. 

[Chester Dontlie]

This looks like Man City game all over again, only worse. Not a single shot on goal at home is embarassing. BR outclassed, Youri mediocre,  Maddison poor, Barnes useless.

Rodgers has to change the formation and tell them to grow some balls. Put Nacho and Albrighton on, have a go, give something to the supporters, this is depressingly puelesque. 

[foxfanazer]

Far too passive in these type of games. Has Brendan got what it takes to beat the big boys?

Is Barnes not giving 100% for the side he supports? 

[hebangsthedrums]

Also ally mccoist is awful. 

 

[Tuna]

We've been abject, not in the game at all we're all over the place at the back and are wide open on the left.

 

It is only 1-0 somehow and surely they will tire in the second half.

 

Brendan needs a rethink though tactically it has not worked today.

Need Natcho on for Tiellemans. No difference losing the game 1-0 or 5-0 with our goal difference. I hate to say it but Gray for Barnes as a wild, could be really funnny, card.

We can’t add people to the subs bench at this moment in time.

Too much respect.

Too little precision.

No talent at keeping and distributing the ball nicely.

No prolonged period of time where we at least manage to keep the ball in the opposing half.

Mané getting away with EVERYTHING.
Referee with no glasses on (foul on Ricardo Pereira not given, instead whistling for an undeserved corner).

 

Endless amounts of lost possession, making life easy for Liverpool.

 

Vardy with five touches in the first half.

 

No shot on goal.

 

Mr. Rodgers, time to rethink your strategy here...

We are nervous and the lack of precision is because we are trying to be too precise. Classic mistake by players lacking confidence or showing fear. 
 

We are gifting Liverpool the game so far. Twice we’ve closed them down fast and twice they made mistakes. It’s not enough. However, Liverpool are dammed good and a level above us - unfortunately. 

[jim5000]

Praet our best midfielder at the moment, far more involved than madders and Tilly. Maybe they are both knackered?

[North Leeds Fox]

We play lovely football against teams that come in and sit against us but completely forgot that we are at our best with high pressing and playing at a hundred miles an hour. We have been brilliant this season but at times we were jogging out to them and letting them have 20 yards space. I wouldn't mind hamza coming on and kicking people as at least we would get going. 

[TonyN11]

Bring on Justin and move Riccardo further forward.

Either Gray or Albrighton for Tielemans 

[Guest Manini]

I usually wouldn’t panic in these sorts of situations. I’m mature enough to understand we’re playing an outstanding side - but we look completely and utterly finished. We need to put some sort of performance in against West Ham or this season will fade in to mediocrity mark my words.

Agree. 
 

I don’t think we’re as bad as we were on Saturday against Manchester City.

[Sol thewall Bamba]

Rolling over for the big clubs yet again. 

[Corky]

We just can't afford to carry players and that is what we are doing. Part of it is mindset, we look worried that if we lose the ball we're in trouble and that is what's happening.

 

They are a very good team and that should be taken into account but we need to face them up more, far too much of them just knocking the ball around.

[FoxFossil]

Two ganged up on Chilly, exactly as per Man City. Not learning from our mistakes. No chance of top 4 until this is fixed as every team will exploit this.

[Vacamion]

 

2nd half Kings to come good. 

 

Barnes to score a brace and silence the critics. 

 

A man can dream...
