Watford 3-0 Liverpool: In game and Post match discussion

The trio of Firmino, Cou and Lallana could be one of the most skilful midfielders in the PL but they are also potentially one of the weakest defensively, that may explain why teams cut open us like a knife if they are in the same team. Much steel is required urgently in midfield.

Good that someone began to notice that. Firmino is skilful no doubt but can also be a liability when it comes to tracking back to defend and he has to now quickly come to accept the fact that PL teams are very physical and start to toughen up. Time taken for him to settle down is over we're almost at the halfway mark of the season. He may be suited to a slower game in the continent. Klopp has to decide soon.

It's all about balance. Always has been, always will be.

no words really, truly embarrassing.

some of these players need to have a hard look at themselves

It's too much emphasis on skills over brawn at the moment.

The side seem to lack any sort of consistency or leadership skills, very average on the whole.

So I guess no one feels like making a thread for the Leicester game 😞.

Can embarrassed with his performance, Lovren and Benteke taking the piss
