Only one game so no need to panic but some of the players should be embarassed today.

Lamela, Eriksen and Chadli in particular were attrocious.

Based on this performance we need a new Striker, a creative midfielder that will run at teams and cause problems, a new lwf and Kaboul to never play a game against a top 5 team again, we have a lot of problems in other words.

Liverpool's pressing and defensive solidity exposed our weaknesses. The players will learn from this and on the positive side we didn't get completely spanked.

Oh how we've been here before. The feeling of a false dawn. Early days but quite frankly you could swell any of those players tomorrow and they wouldn't be missed. No answer to sides who boss games. Going to be a repeat of last season vs top 4 I doubt.

I'm not too worried.

Angry yes, worried no.

It happens though. Liverpool have been super efficient today and we've shot ourselves in the foot.

Pochettino will learn a lot about the players after this and it's really early days.

Just wish it hadn't happened against fucking Liverpool and fucking Bren fucking-dan Ro-fucking-dg-fucking-ers

Im worried if Capoue is our protection for the back four.

I think it's a psychological thing today.

This is gonna take time.
never going to change if we don't start turning up, would love to see the stats on ground covered, our movement was poor from minute 1 and is what concerns me the most, you can have a great passing range but its fucking useless on a chess board.

I couldn't possibly watch a post match interview with Rodgers without throwing the nearest object at the TV...

Everyone flaming Townsend like he's to blame for this result. We were 2 nil down before he came on. The problem is the majority of our player were scared. They didn't want to upset Liverpool players by putting a tackle in. Stood of them way too much and let them bully us.

We sent a big signal out in the Prem today, one that says we're not serious about top 4. Well done Levy, you alone have overseen this.

Yeah. Liverpool may be utterly mad but it helps. Our timid little dormice will always be cowed by these deluded blustering morons.

You could say that both clubs were in a similar position being able to challenge for the title in particular seasons recently. For us the pressure was too much and we lost our way. For them, in their fantasy-land, it was something to thrive on.

To be fair that's 2 clear penalties at the end, both fouls in Ade. Shirt pull and blatant body check when nowhere near the ball

But we were second best today and the nail in the coffin was the shocking dive for their penalty. Clearly he pulled him but this is the sort of thing we need replays for. Ref would ha e clearly seen the dive in seconds as we did on screen

Why didn't we get Rodgers when we had the chance before AVB

Up there with Klopp as the best coach in the world


Rogers has a team of skill, high work-rate and determination.

We have half a team of prim a-dona's who think that the most important thing is manicured hair, and arm to arm tattoos.

We have no backbone, no leader and no moral fibre.

No pace in attack & we lacked any type of penetration. We didn't once get behind them. Disappointing

such a staggering change of pace. last week we looked golden, now we look terrified. nothing's changed except the opposition. meaning our players are scared of the big games

how the fuck are we going to be anything impressive when that happens

on the fucking money
