Another sh*t performance. Becoming far too common, but given the below average players we persist with it's no wonder you get these sort of sh*t performances constantly. The midfield three were as poor as they were against Villa and the Augsburg defence wasn't anywhere near as bad as Villa's to give us the luxury of the pitch.
But, a goalless draw away from home in Europe isn't a bad thing. So F***ing what if we've got City a couple of days after the second leg, are players incapable of playing two games in a week nowadays? Imagine winning 2-0 yesterday, Jürgen throwing a bunch of kids/fringe players in the second leg and us going out 3-2. At least now, the job, should, be done at Anfield in a professional manner.
With every passing game though, Jürgen must get a better idea of who should be here in the summer and who should be shown the door. Yesterday would of confirmed that one of his biggest problems is the midfield.
Overall though, the result is not worth getting our knickers in a twist. 0-0 away from home, is an acceptable result - it just wasn't an acceptable performance.
Mignolet - made a decent save in each half, still managed his usual fumble at point an all. Given every mistake he makes is scrutinised beyond belief now, it was a decent performance from him. He's going into games with people expecting, and some actually wanting, him to F**k up. That pressure must be weighing heavily on his shoulders.
Clyne - who has looked solid and dependable the last few weeks, got a bit of an eye opener yesterday. He just looked off the pace throughout. I don't think Augsburg targeted him but every time they attacked his side, they had some level of success.
Toure - remains our best centre half this season. Another solid enough performance.
Sakho - remains our best centre half at ending every attack on his arse. He does that well. Still not good enough to be the number one centre half at Liverpool though.
Moreno - was, typically, out of position more often than not yesterday. Relies too much on his pace to get him out of trouble, rather than any positional sense. Still looks like he's trying to learn the role of a left back on the job. Would probably be better to push him further up field and play him as an out and out winger, leaving somebody else to do the defensive job.
Can't - remains sh*t. People walk past him and he makes no effort to get back, until they've already breezed past him then he tries to fool fans that he's actually trying. Players just walk off him, has no awareness of what's around him - with or without the ball. His passing was embarrassing at times. And he still wasn't the worst the central midfielder on display.
Henderson - whether he's still playing with this injury or not, I don't know. But he's nowhere near the same player he was as little as twelve months ago. He's even worse now than he was when we he first arrived. At least then, it looked like he was trying to make things happen. Now, it's pass the buck immediately. sh*t bag performance from the Liverpool captain!
Milner - put one decent ball in all game. Everything else is just average. Can't track back, can't tackle, doesn't score enough, doesn't even create enough. Set piece delivery is usually poor.
Firmino - had the odd touch here and there but overall wasn't good enough. Another, by and large, anonymous performance.
Coutinho - looked better than he was due to the sh*t that was out there with him. He played ok but it wasn't a startling performance by any means.
Sturridge - had scraps to feed on all game and was deeper than our midfield at times to get involved. Probably could of made more runs into space to try and open the game up a bit more. Still looked our most dangerous threat though.
Origi - gave a lot of effort, just lacked a bit of quality.
Ibe - came on, lost the ball countless times, the final whistle went.
