Gutted.
First up, I don't wanna see Thiago having a friendly chat with his mate after the final whistle.
We were all over them in the last 15/20 but didn't produce a single shot - we don't move the ball forward, we just play it back or across the line.
Wijlaldum had a mare tonight and should have been subbed - I love the guy but he was rank tonight.
Kabak dug us out of trouble and shouldn't have been subbed, although I get that it was tactical.
Keita - not a fan but he did better than Thiago and shouldn't have been hauled off. Klopp's fault - play him or don't, but don't destroy him like that.
To give TAA credit, he came back after a woeful start but, clearly, he's been told to defend. There was no interaction between our midfield and attack. Mo scored, but otherwise just gave the ball away.
The subs were far too late but, in any event, for all the possesion, we didn't have a single shot on target. Jota's our form player but it wasn't his night and I can't blame him. Right to take him off, but it should have been earlier: Shaq is on form and could maybe have done something?
I detest Real but they were the better team - better players, better organized and the score reflects the match. 2-0 at Anfield will be hard.
