He shouldn't be punching it IMO, he just needs some strength in his arms and not fold and shit his pants at the first sign of physical contact.

[bobadicious]

It's all Sturridges fault

[sms1986]

Where is the emre can of last season.

The one we were worried about missing the final.

Absolutely crazy how he's basically fallen off a cliff.

He has an injury that is affecting his form.

[Jake]

Also we've taken three short corners and a shit attempt at a clever free kick. Why don't we just put the ball into the fucking box like they did and they scored from it.

[markedasred]

I would say Wijnaldum sooner rather than later, running on after half time for me, and let the front three just get their pace back after almost no time together in ages. If they are not fatigued, they will return to their previous form.

[d.arn]

Midfield is not working at all. Takes us about 3 minutes to switch sides, Hull barely have to move to stay in position. Coutinho sloppy. Can takes too many touches. Mignolet with another, I'll say unconvincing to be nice, "clearance". We need to come up with some sort of strategy for these teams, otherwise everyone will just do this to us until the end of the season, and we can forget CL football next year. I'm fairly confident we can, but this rut has gone on a bit too long to feel like a little dip in form.

Expecting a much better second half. Think we can score two, but I'm not sure it will be enough.

[marto]

Well done, Klopp. Keep Sturridge and Origi on the bench. We definitely don't need strikers against teams who just sit deep in their own box and wait to counter. And keep playing Can in midfield. Because that's been working fantastic the last 10 games.

[mattD]

Like Peter Kay's 'garlic bread' routine.

"Emre Can?! Emre?! Can?!"

Not having it. One of the worst players to have played in a red shirt.

[Kenny's Jacket]

Can the moaners whinging about the January transfer window give me a list of players who -

are available
want to play for us
can fit into our squad

Anyone?

Thats a question for our "Recruitment Team2 not the fans.

[Upinsmoke]

I'd sub Emre and Mignolet and Lucas here. Can't be trusted.

[Rattleduser]

we look awful, giving away piss easy goals, don't deserve a cl place playing like this.  loads are playing well below par, slow inaccurate passing in abundance.

not much changes unless we play a top 6 team.

[didi]

Have we the balls to even fight for a draw here

[lachesis]

Same old.

Henderson has had an horrific half. The amount of times he put us on the back foot from dallying or misplacing a pass is unreal. Couple that with killing the attack with those floaty switches;
Still no midfielders getting in the box, think I've seen Clyne at that back post more than any of the midfield;
We can only win headers outside the box;
Lallana has been anonymous though he's had good games there previously;
Mane looks like our only attacking threat;
We're shit with any sort of closing down;
Migs should have cleaned out ball and player but defence left him isolated on both occasions;
If we're going to switch the ball across the field, cut out the shit floaty balls. They take ages to get there and take a couple of seconds to control, easy for defence to get back into reposition;

[SwissV]

Fuck we are just awful. Completely fucking awful. We will be very very lucky to finish top 4 this year. 

[red mongoose]

That's nil-nil at halftime if the goalkeeper makes a simple fucking catch. Simple as.
We're not creating anything, but we're not trailing if he makes a catch.
Again.
Fuck.

It's getting that bad lately that it's almost hard to fault people for losing their shit in these HT threads.

[Sarge]

Liverpool FC's New Year Ceasefire.

[robertobaggio37]

How is Danny Ward doing on his loan eh?

[Stockholm Syndrome]

Yeah this ones dones now. Might get lucky at a draw but I wouldn't thibk so the way we've played today and the last month.

Thing is how the hell do we change it now? Strikers underperforming, midfield industrious at best. What do you do to get us creating again?

[scouser4eva]

Everton 6 points behind us ..... laughable

[sms1986]

Mignolet in goal is like giving every other side in the top 4 a 15 point advantage over us, so weak and indecisive, all the agrression and winning mentality of a field mouse

Even Chelsea don't have a fifteen point lead on us, and the others are basically on the same points we are.

[Sarge]

Have we the balls to even fight for a draw here

Yes.

[Melbred]

Another game, same old shite. We'll be lucky to make top 4 the way we're going.

The goal was quintessential Liverpool. Can fucks up, needlessly gives possession away and we concede a corner. Comical defending and Mignolet flapping once again for us to concede just before half time.

This bunch of players are too immature at this stage to amount to anything.

[smicer07]

Unsurprising.

[vallapureddy]

so by tomorrow we might be just 1 point away from 6th?

[cricketrocks]

Mignolet dropping clangers and Coutinho going missing for months every season is nothing new.

The players who should be stepping up haven't in recent months.

He was out for around 6 and a half weeks, and has been back for 2. A little harsh!

[daj79]

We'll smash these none BT using motherfuckers second half.

You sure about that? We've got attackers that can't attack, defenders that can't defend and a manager with no plan B.

[KillieRed]

Our downturn in form started when Can came in for Wijnaldum. No idea why he starts ahead of him when both fit.

[theMilkman]

He has an injury that is affecting his form.

Probably, but doesn't explain why he keeps playing though

[Upinsmoke]

He shouldn't be punching it IMO, he just needs some strength in his arms and not fold and shit his pants at the first sign of physical contact.

It's more alarming he thinks he can catch it when he's completely fucking weak, the only option was to punch if he had any clue about his limitations as a fucking goalkeeper

[Mighty_Red]

Same old shit, whenever we come up against someone who doesn't want to roll over, we struggle, then someone makes a mistake at the back and we concede. Just seems that nobody can go 2 matches without making a glaring error. There's no point in blaming Mig, cos next week he'll play well and someone else will fuck up instead. Sick of how easy we are to score against its a fucking joke.

Just not sure where the team's heads are these days there's just no concentration and focus anywhere on the pitch. Need a big 45 mins here.

[Giono]

1Million % possession an barely a shot at goal. Predictable tactics that everyone has learnt to counter. Need to change something radical.

Like dropping the unnecessary Henderson so our front 4 see the ball more and the wingbacks less?

[Suareznumber7]

To all you whining dicks.

Emre Can is not the problem.  But feel free to consider using him as a scapegoat. 

Carry on. 

[Motty]

Who,  Can, Klopp, Coutinho, Firmino, John Henry?

Keep guessing, I'll give you a clue! He can't catch or punch for shit.

[sonny crockett]

We're never going to be a top four team with Lucas in your starting eleven.

We continue playing him but let Allen go in the summer.

[cornelius]

How the fuck is Achterberg in a job?

[slipslidin82]

Everyone's figured out how to play against us.

Press the midfield 3.

Crowd the space in front of the defence.

Block any width.

Wait for a mistake.

We've had no answers in any of the last 6-7 matches.

[plasterered]

liverpool mistake again leads to a goal we never pick the 2nd balls up.

Another shout in the box where the ref gives us nothing.

Phil gettin played out the game too easy.

What do we have to do

we need something in the box. we never look to have a shot unless we have opened the door fully Hull aint budging at the back just ,smash em' smash them hard.  aaarrrgggggghhhhh

[smicer07]

so by tomorrow we might be just 1 point away from 6th?

Or we could be 2nd.

[Djimi Smicer34]

Where is the emre can of last season.

The one we were worried about missing the final.

Absolutely crazy how he's basically fallen off a cliff.

Playing out of position.

He's not a box-to-box midfielder, he's not going to link defence and attack in the middle of the pitch like Wijnaldum can and has this season.  Surprised he's started and he's done nothing to justify starting ahead of Wijnaldum.

[lgvkarlos]

Emre Can, just why? Absolute scandal how he's been allowed to amble his way through the season keeping his place. Didn't have Klopp down as the sacred cow type.

Is it just coincidence that our poor form started with him coming back into the team?
