Absolutely sh*te.
Another terrible performance, another terrible result. Same problems every week. Similar line ups, same tactics, go a goal down, chasing games, no heart, no fight, no confidence and the lads look burnt out. The warning signs were there against Fulham on day 1.
Reading a few comments on the forum and some blame the owners and some blame klopp/the players. The truth is they’re all to blame.
I put the majority of the blame on the owners. Signing just Thiago and Arthur (in, what, four and a half seasons or so?) is a farce. A team that has challenged on all fronts who depend on an energetic, aggressive midfield who play with lots of intensity. It’s been neglected.
With that said, klopp and his players have to perform far better than what we’ve seen despite being dealt a sh*t hand. I consider klopp as the best manager in the world and that’s not being biased either. But some of his line ups at times, his substitutions and persisting with the same tactics each week despite it not working is just mind boggling. A world class manager adapts to sh*t situations…so F***ing adapt then?
I love Nunez, I really do. The big crazy b***ard and I always have a soft spot for players who give their all too. However, I’m still of the opinion that he isn’t good enough for us, certainly not down the middle anyway. I said it very early on and got slaughtered, as you do if you criticise anything to do with LFC because grown men have little strops, but nothing has changed my mind. His first touch, final ball and finishing is mostly abysmal. I know the away fans sign sh*t andy Carroll every week but it does actually have andy Carroll vibes for me where we have massively over spent on a player who is nowhere near this level.
I don’t rate Gakpo either. I’d go as far as saying he’s been absolutely crap. For me, when everybody’s fit, the front three picks itself. Diaz, Jota and Mo. If Diaz isn’t fit then Darwin comes in. If Jota isn’t fit then Bobby comes in. And if Mo isn’t fit then Elliott comes in. So I don’t know where Gakpo is supposed to fit in. What’s his role? Just seems a bizarre signing considering we desperately need reinforcements in midfield but instead we spent a chunk of money on a 7th choice option for the front three positions.
The back four have gone from a solid unit who concede very few goals to being a complete mess now too. The whole team is just a shambles. A couple of months ago I thought we were just one or two players short from competing again but honestly I wouldn’t care if klopp got rid of 7-8 of them and started again. I’ve always been an admirer of both matip and Gomez and constantly said the pair of them were severely under rated but what the F**k was that sh*t show today? Not just today but for the past how many weeks.
Does make me laugh when I see klopp trending etc and weirdos are calling for his head. And then what. Who comes in who does a better job under these ridiculous FSG restraints? And for what that man’s done for this club id still put up with another decade of mid table finishes before I gave somebody the time of the day and even bothered listening to them talking about sacking him. The man’s a genius but not perfect. He’s going through a sh*t time so we back him no matter how frustrating things are currently. I hope he manages us until he decides to retire because no other manager in world football will do any better. Not even close.
Anyway we move onto Everton. No better game to bounce back after that dog sh*t performance today. Sort it out Liverpool and F***ing put 5 past that pub team.
