We were not fluid today and the attitude on the park after going infront by 2 goals, especially at 3-1 was amateur. you have to give it to that midget Scotsman, he saw the opportunity and took it, 3 times some lad called fraser comes on and we make him look like <deleted> messi. bet you he's never heard of ever again like kevin lisbie. and man you're right, karius really doesn't look like much of an upgrade on mignolet at this point does he? i wish we'd signed an older, experienced, finished article of a 'keeper like cech or something. though admittedly there aren't shedloads of them around.

nev Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 We won at Bournemouth 3-1 and all I heard was its only Bournemouth, well at the time I thought it was a good win against a good side at home, proved tone the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't believe it, 2 set-ups and goal from just being alert and hungry to win. For sure we not hear of that lad again. Reminded me of wee Burney, Rab C Nesbit's lad.

MrRed Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Well anybodys better than that nutjob you have at the moment ....just looked at Torino with Hart i would think its fair to say he has been average. played 13 conceded 15 goals i think they have only won 4 games. When he comes back to England i am pretty sure he will be farmed out again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bredbury Blue Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 "played 13 conceded 15 goals i think they have only won 4 games"...not sure you can judge a goalkeepers performance like that, he could be Billy the Fish but behind a crap defence he's going to concede. "When he comes back to England i am pretty sure he will be farmed out again." Understand he will be sold on not farmed out again, at 10M to a foreign club or 20M to an English club. Hopefully Pep will see the error of his ways and include Hart in next seasons squad but I doubt it. While it seems popular opinion for non-Blues to not rate Hart, there'd be very few Blues who don't rate him and we'd love nothing better than Hart returning tomorrow!

Devil Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 (edited) Bloody frustrating isn't it, I expected a better reaction at home after the Bournemouth mess. We played some fluid attacking football at times but we just seems to run out of attacking ideas and steam when teams sit back against us. We also can't control a game to save our lives when its needed especially when we go ahead. We need to be more clinical and finish chances, right now we look to have two gears only, either full out attack or full out scrambling back... against any sort of a counter, we look naive at times, not sure that will get fixed this season ! Karius has made mistakes in two games in a row, but surely it would be madness to drop him right now? Not sure how it will help to bring in Migs as he also will make his 'inevitbale' blunder creating even grater pressure for the team. Buying and developing these younger players was always going to result in issues, but watching how Klopp has got us playing at times, has brought reason for optimism, the best is yet too come, perhaps we have all gotten too carried away with how we were scoring for fun which has covered over the cracks. Perhaps we are seeing the growing pains of the development of a young squad made worse by a couple of key injuries and a thin squad. We've also look unbalanced in our attack the last few games. Firminho needs to be central were he does his best work, not on the left, but its a conundrum with Coutinho out and also Sturridge missing in action. Also we don't have that one natural defensive midfielder in the squad that might help in times like this (forgetting Lucas), Henderson has been tasked with the role and its not natural to him. I can't help but think these Dahoud rumours are true and we will be in again for him in the window or a similar player, a controlling defensive midfielder to balance between our attacking play. Anyway games will be coming thick and fast, so will be interesting to see if we can get back to our form in time.

mrbojangles Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 I love Klopp Quote Klopp: Neville struggled with a job judging players, I don't listen to him The 49-year-old defended under-fire Loris Karius and turned the spotlight on the analysts, who have been "unhelpful" with their constant sniping Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has delivered a charged take down of Gary Neville and the other former players-turned-pundits, who continually dish out criticism that crosses the line. Reds’ goalkeeper Loris Karius has been the subject of constant scrutiny from analysts, with the ex-Manchester United captain drawing a response from the 23-year-old last week after he erred in the 4-3 defeat at Bournemouth. Following another unconvincing outing in the 2-2 draw against West Ham, Neville’s brother, Phil, took exception to the German speaking out, echoing Jamie Carragher’s sentiments that he should “shut up and do his job.” But Klopp turned the spotlight away from Karius to the pundits, who he feels have been incredibly unhelpful as the summer signing settles at Anfield.

Origi is stemming the fluidity up top and when you consider that he is only a kid, we are lacking depth up top. As you say Firmino should be up top. If Can is back tomorrow I'd expect Origi to be dropped. I don't think dropping Karius is the right idea, buying a keeper in January would be a good idea and sell Mignolet and keep Karius. But unless it is Joe Hart, I don't know who else we could get. Edited December 13, 2016 by BangrakBob 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah good second half that. Goalkeeper situation, a few posts back I presumed he wouldn't drop Karius as thats a big call. Of course In true Klopp style, he just drops him and makes out its just another day... Migs did well also. We look like we got back some fluency in out attack (movement, one touch passing) and Origi can't stop scoring. Bring on the Bitters ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
