Really not buying all this 'they will take points off other top teams' BS.
City and Chelsea will win comfortably there ... probably without conceding or breaking a sweat.
We were challenged defensively for the first time this season and we were found wanting. We were pathetic at the back and could not deal with their tactics which were hardly earth shattering or complicated.
Tactically we were bad and that's on Jürgen sadly. To take of Jones was a mystery to me ... the lad had just scored, chest out ... and was comfortably our best midfielder yesterday. Firmino offered nothing when he came on and they got back in top in midfield.
Collectively as a team that was nowhere near good enough. But this is just my opinion ... but Sadio and Robbo? How did they stay on. Milner, Tsimakis, Minamino or even Origi could have come on ...yet he keeps both of them on and only makes one sub, to remove one of his better players. Bizarre to these eyes.
You have 2 lads there who scored the other night plus the Greek who assisted again and yet can't get on when others are having a total shocker ... what does that do for these lads. Klopp says he needs a squad ... but only for the league Cup it seems.
We need to get back to shutting games down, managing games, and stop being so wasteful in front of goal. Stating the obvious there though eh.
