Very disappointing result, still don't understand how VAR cannot see that dive for the penalty, it was one Harry Kane could be proud of.  

 

We were terrible though and yet another injury to one of most important players. 

 

Positives, the new lads looked good, Nunes is going to be a star player. Elliot and Carvalho looked good again. 

 

We should have won, even playing that badly, also a positive.

More like 6 weeks for Thiago.

 

I'm not sure there is only one player that could contribute to this team at this point in time. Jude Bellingham appears to have deal in place for next season is the apparent reason we would not buy another midfielder. Or maybe is the 3 kids Jones, Carvalho, Elliot who are entrusted with the task. 

 

Considering the regulatory of injuries between AOC, Thiago, Keita, Fabinho, and Hendo surely we need another.

EPL shake up this season. World cup on any player's minds?

 

Next up; United v Reds. A draw would do nicely.

EPL shake up, if we hadn't give the Money City a run this league would be like the German. At least we are pushing them.

It's a bit of a worry when James Milner and Nat Phillips start. Is it a coincident that the head doctor leaves the club and then every one starts pulling up with muscle injuries. 

 

Anyway to the game, we should have been 3 or 4 up in the first 20 minutes.  A lot of shots not on target, but many from scoring positions.  

I thought Harvey Elliot looked brilliant in that first half.

Nat Phillips was caught so badly by Zaha for the goal. How we are already down to our 5th choice centre back is beggars belief. Again though, we know which lads are injury prone. It's no surprise Matip or Gomez are injured, it's a surprise that Nat Phillips is even at the club still. 

 

Darwin Nunes is a complete <deleted> for rising to the taunt, you must understand the importance of the situation, Firmino out, Jota out. We have no recognised central attacker now, for at least 3 weeks. And he can't train with the team to help integrate as he won't be part of the plan. 

So again, we sold Mane, Origi and Minamino, and brought in Nunes. and I don't think it was the intention to thrust him straight in to the limelight. He looks like he needs more time, but because we got rid of players and the other 2 are injured he's been left with the responsibility and it looks to be weighing on him. And now he has <deleted> us further. 

 

After the send off we looked better, and to be fair that's not easy with 10 men. 

 

Luis Diaz goal was incredible, and I hope he continues his rise, absolute beast of a player.

Fabio Carvalho looks a star in the making, calm, confident and skilled. Nearly put the winner away. 

 

Football wasn't bad, but injuries and suspensions are ready to ruin our chances already, such are the margins when up against City. 

 

Couldn't be a better time for United to play us.

He really should learn to keep it zipped sometimes. I don't think it helps the players. 

 

And he should have taken a leaf out of Pep's book and give the guys more time off. They look knackered and are getting injured.

Tricky one for a manager that Bob. When you are winning it's easy to say take a few days off but when it's obvious some work needs to be done in training it's hard to let them take days off as the manager would be lambasted for it by the media. Damned if you, damned if you don't sort of things

It's going to be like playing at Goodison Park on Monday. United are more likened to Everton than United in Ferguson's reign. To be fair to United this is what they generally were before Ferguson. Maybe they are just settling back in to their natural state. 

 

Mad time to be playing them, both teams need to get their season on track only 2 games in. Both need to win, we've got issues, they've got issues. 

 

I've no idea what United we will be playing, is he going to keep with the new style or will they close up shop and counter? 

 

If we can get an early goal it could get messy. Don't fancy us if we go behind. 

 

We really need to buy some players, too many are knock/injury prone. Attacking mid, central attacker.....Now!!!

Hard game to predict tonight, depends on the starting 11.

 

If ETH, has anything about him, he will drop Maguire, Shaw & Rashford - Bring in Varane, Martial or Garnacho & Malacia - If he does this, i think we will put 3 past the Dippers & win the match.

And for the first time in his Liverpool career Klopp has said it;

 

"We have more injuries than we would have imagined and it would be cool to have another midfielder in, of course. Then there is also another fact that I am not in charge of what we can spend. That's the situation."
