      You guys do know it's gonna be pretty much like this vs defensive teams until Naby comes in, right? And by then, we may not have CL...

      Is Keita going to unlock packed defences or is he just going to add to the list of players who like running forwards fast?

      The lad might make us even harder to play against with the top 6 clashes but againat the bottom feeders he's going to find himself running into a brick wall like the rest of them.

      We need some finesse in amongst the chaos i'm afraid.

      Listen to the Swansea manager and he says it himself.

      We're a formula 1 car in a traffic jam.

      Shouldve at least equalised. Poor game for almost everyone in red. 3 points dropped 😣

      Beat the best team in the league, lose to the worst. A proper Klopp's LFC week for you.

      And just like beating City wasn't truly reflective of both clubs qualities (they're still quite superior to us), tonight wasn't the end of the world either.

      Not arsed about the end of that invincible spell either. We drew too many games in that unbeaten run anyway. Rather go for it and in the process lose a couple but hopefully win a few more than be the team with most draws in the top half of the league (which we still are)

      Apart from the City game, we haven't been playing that well though. Three consecutive narrow 2-1 wins against sh*t bus-parking teams must have been a sign of warning. It was a bad decision to take Ox out. He could have been very useful with his corners and free-kicks, especially at the end there.

      Just don't understand our manager. Waits too long for substituting and then playing against a defensive team, he takes off the OX instead of Can or Gini. Where was our left winger? What happened to Mane? Where was he supposed to be playing. If he was told to play where he did, it was Jürgen's fault. If he wasn't then it was Mane's fault.

      Let's hope Can gets offloaded. he played exactly as he did  three months ago.

      Firmino has been reading too many reports about him being a genius.

      A day to forget. I will now avoid all sports news until we play again.

      hahaha, I am similar, but instead of all sports, I avoid everything Liverpool until our next game.

      Anyway, I hope Klopp has realised we need a playmaking specialist (#6 or #10), especially against bus parkers and ends up buying one before the window shuts.

      VVD setting up our two best chances.

      On a plate, too.

      At least he looked good.

      Yeah he was unfortunate to just get the 1 assist ;D

      That's the only difference between us and the Manc clubs right now.  They make sure they don't lose games like this.

      We will struggle creatively until we replace Coutinho.

      So until next season at the very least.

      We gave up our key to breaking down these setups (#10) - the same as we did a couple years before that key came along (#7), and a couple years before the key that came before that key came along (#9).

      We were woeful all around tonight. Missed more passes in one game than any team of our caliber should in a season.


      I seen Coutinho play in a million of those games, don’t make it all about him. We were sh*t tonight which is sh*t but we’ll get over it.

      To be fair though, don't let the stereotype of the black African midfielder (athletic, strong, not so technical) fool you.
      Yeah Keita is great at fast transitions but he's also a great dribbler (has some of the best numbers in the league) and can really pick a pass. Contrast that to, say, Gini Wijnaldum who hardly ever even attempts to take on an opponent, and is very conservative with his passing, and you have a significant improvement going forward.
      Is he going to be the answer? I don't expect one single player to solve all our issues, but I am sure he can help a lot.

      Aye only we miss that chance at the end i'm afraid. United play like sh*t every week but don't concede soft goals and they do score a the clutch chances.

      Disagree. We looked pretty creative when we were 4-1 up vs City
