Ok, so first things first, the line up was dog sh*t and Klopp needs to take responsibility here.
The 11 that started were probably good enough to beat Everton. But probably isn't good enough when it comes to a Derby. Play your strongest 11, get the job done, then bring players off after that if you really want too.
Anybody with half a football brain could have predicted what sort of game we were in for today. Therefore the Fab Four should have started. No disrespect to solanke and the ox but they aren't on their level. We knew we would come up against a boring stubborn shithouse team so it was criminal not starting them.
I was happy with the back four but Henderson and Milner should never be in the same midfield as one another. The pair of them are so slow, so predictable and neither of them have a creative bone between them. Wijnaldum should have been in there who would have moved more and kept the ball ticking much quicker.
Anyway, the game went as I expected and i haven't got much to say on it really. They limited us to any real chances and if it wasn't for a moment of brilliance from salah to open the scoring then I thought it had 0-0 written all over it.
Mane should have squared the chance he had and if he did then it's 2-0 at HT and game over. No way are they scoring 2 goals. I kind of suspect he did it for selfish reasons as Salah has become our new favourite so I hope he got a F***ing bollocking for that.
Second half we had all the play but did nothing with it. They defended well to be fair but we didn't give them any real problems. Disappointed Jürgen brought salah off who i thought was our best player and our biggest threat.
Lovren is coming in for all kinds of stick but that's never a penalty that. DCL is a diving little c**t. Awful decision from the ref and DCL should have been booked. That said, I actually thought a draw was a fair result because even though Everton were awful, we didn't do enough to win the game. Apart from Manes moment I don't remember any other chances at all really.
I thought we were poor today and in particular the midfield was garbage.
Klopp got it wrong and the players selected didn't offer enough going forward to win the game.
sh*te.
