Haha! Being a teacher I thought I was a Sarky Git but I've got nothing on you mate!
As for the points you raised I do actually believe it would have been a good idea to bring in another front 3 player in the summer but the short-sighted criticism of Salah does get my goat.
Top 3 most lethal left side strikers in the world (Mane) gets shifted to the right side to make room for Origi who clearly has been instructed to be a facilitator at left wing. Two facilitators, Origi and Firmino, and a premium right footed striker being asked to play right wing.
Inconceivable for a big team flush in cash....but here we are.
I guess a healthy Shaqiri would have been the answer but how certain are we that Klopp has any faith in Le Petit Swiss?
The lack of starting midfield ambition continues to plague LFC, especially on the road. Think of how little the forwards touched the ball yesterday and why the offense must be initiated from the back line. Did Origi touch the ball in the 2nd half? Firmino was invisible.
On the road, Klopp has a tendency to play not to lose (refer to CL and Big 6 away contests).
This team is not posting clean sheets with any regularity and more goal scoring ambition is required. Pulling off late goal wins/ties is not a sustainable strategy. Would be nice to see a LFC mid get an assist every month or so.
Hats off to Lallana for entering the box....goods things can happen when a 4th player is allowed to push forward.
