Always dissapointing to go out of a Cup but this was the least of our priorities. What any one says or thinks this game highlighted we don't have the squad to fight on too many fronts and for me League and CL takes priority.
The Scouse Cafu oh dear, he is completely out of his depth at this sort of level.
Poor showing from the Ox but it's early days and when you have confusion from the likes of the Captain he can be forgiven for not knowing where he should be operating.
Woodburn had some nice touches but Coutinho going off meant we lost all control of that midfield and gave impetus to Leicester knowing we had no pace to hit them on the break.
Solanke again like Woodburn showing he is not ready to be a starter yet, some nice touches but zero threat in the box and in fact had two half decent chances which he fluffed, compare to Leicester.
Grujic ditto.
I think sometimes we are too harsh on the defence, both of those goals tonight was down to the poor positioning and switching off from our DM and Captain.
Imagine if Moreno had done that, I'm not going to be too harsh because as I have said before it's not his fault as he is not a DM. Down to Klopp
In fact you can probably go back to many of the goals we have conceded it's because usually the second ball or knock is exactly where the DM mops up, or stops the attack before its onto the back 4.
Only positive was Ward should be given a chance as the first choice keeper.
