hope arsenal win it now

[bornandbRED]

And so… it draws to an end

[Mister Flip Flop]

Honestly pathetic. Every Everton player wanted it more and have deserved it

Just glad 4th is more or less secure because i can't see this group of players winning another game this season.

[Kennys from heaven]

Fuck.

Just. Fuck.

[JP!]

Can you blame him? He’s watching what we are too, the players have just gone to shit.

So why's he keep picking them then? I know the forward line was enforced, but Szobozlai? Jones? Konate? None of those are in form and two of them have been outplayed by their replacements (Elliott and Quansah)

[JRed]

He's given up. How Darwin Nunez and Mo Salah have played 90 minutes is shameful. Losing 2-0 to Everton while chasing the league and bring on 3 defenders and a DM. Na.

Leaving them out there so they don’t escape how shit they’ve been.

[Caps4444]

I almost, ALMOST feel it would have been better if we didn't challenge. If we were just in a top 4 race it wouldn't be as bad.

But backlash would be that we should have won the title and the players fucked it.

Now tonight cannot be condoned, no question about it. But I do think the overall mood about this squad would be better if we were never in the title challenge, which by all right we never should have been in

Not sure if the United draw was the turning point, or actually it was inevitable as we were making hard work of games we were winning,

[Caps4444]

hope arsenal win it now

No chance, city please.

[UntouchableLuis]

No idea how we lasted this long in the title race.

Been abysmal since we threw it all away in the FA Cup vs United. Never recovered from that.

End of an era.

[bornandbRED]

You kinda knew it was coming but it still hurts a lot

[Schmidt]

Honestly pathetic. Every Everton player wanted it more and have deserved it

Just glad 4th is more or less secure because i can't see this group of players winning another game this season.

Half of them shouldn't get on the pitch for the rest of the season. Trent, Nunez, Salah, Szoboszlai and Konate should all be fucked off.

[TheShanklyGates]

It was the cup game for me rather than the league game. We haven't looked the same side since.

[tunred]

painful

[Studgotelli]

Not sure if the United draw was the turning point, or actually it was inevitable as we were making hard work of games we were winning,

We’ve lost momentum since the FA Cup game. We chucked the league game on top and have been shite since

[Allezallezallez10]

Gomez & tsimikas on
I don’t understand why Clark or Danns haven’t been given some time….
We won the cup with the kids & they’ve been nowhere since!

[Heritage]

People will turn on the players as that’s modern football.

We have been good this season but something went horribly wrong since that United draw.

Kind of a shame. I think it's since we're all keyboard warriors now.

Yeah, that gave us a wobble for sure didn't it

[danm77]

At the end of the day, this squad isn’t quite good enough. Being in a title race until mid April was more than anyone expected at the start of the season.

[JJ Red]

I genuinely think the rebuild for Slot (or whoever) is bigger than we think. We need to re-build the mentality as well because i do think it is fair to say (in the last 2 seasons at least) that senior players have let Klopp and the club down a little.

[alonsoisared]

Very, very weird ending to the game. Fuck me.

[Mister Flip Flop]

Klopp has given up on the season. Very sad to see from him.

He's more than enough in the bank to do whatever the fuck he wants.

The man is a god.

[Nick110581]

Not sure if the United draw was the turning point, or actually it was inevitable as we were making hard work of games we were winning,

Something went wrong around that time. Fans lost the plot.

Then the ticket pricing bullshit.

Sad end to a brilliant era.

[Caps4444]

On paper that was our strongest team.

[Simonm1982]

Mentality Mice

Absolutely bottled in since loss to Man U in cup.
Since then it's been completely unacceptable.

We can't outfight a shite Everton when we are supposedly competing for the league.

Klopps goosed and needs his well deserved break. The players have massively let him down

[Sonofthewind]

Christ, even Jurgen looks bored.

[elkun]

Not sure if the United draw was the turning point, or actually it was inevitable as we were making hard work of games we were winning,

I think it was inevitable. We’ve been scraping wins for a while and havent beaten a top 6 side all season. We are not good enough. Its as simple as that.

[djschembri]

A real shame it is ending in this way

Some big moments ultimately went against us, which would have given us a bigger buffer at this stage. Tottenham away, Arsenal no penalty, City no penalty

Having said that, we seem to have run out of legs/energy/ideas in the last few weeks.

[Heritage]

He's more than enough in the bank to do whatever the fuck he wants.

The man is a god.

Agree, and a lot of these players are legends. The boys in the team that won the league in 2020 are forever legends, Klopp the same.

[Andy82lfc]

So why's he keep picking them then? I know the forward line was enforced, but Szobozlai? Jones? Konate? None of those are in form and two of them have been outplayed by their replacements (Elliott and Quansah)

I’m not Klopp. One thing for sure is he can’t control how shite the forward line have been at finishing or how little fight they have shown. The players have let him down so fucking bad.

[Johnnyboy1973]

It was nice to dream but I can't argue that Arsenal and Man City are not better teams than us.

Hopefully the Salah money has the Coutinho money effect.

[crewlove]

Why couldn't we give Danns at least few minutes? These changes are truly awful.

It really doesn't feel like we are left in a good place or whatever words were used. Looks like a lot of work required.

[...]

As I keep saying, we were lucky to still be in it after Christmas. All the last minute wins and comebacks. We shouldn't be having to resort to that to get wins.

Without those last minute winners we'd be fighting for 4th. Regroup and get a grip for next season because we've looked utterly clueless for a while.

[Draex]

Sad end to a brilliant era.

Very weird to be blaming fans, we aren’t the ones playing without any heart out there.

[hide5seek]

A sad end to Klopps reign as our manager. He deserved more and the players will know this.
Nothing we can do but not fall apart totally.

[RedDeadRejection]

hope arsenal win it now

No chance. They can feel the pain we have

[alonsoisared]

It was nice to dream but I can't argue that Arsenal and Man City are not better teams than us.

I hope the Saudis haven't been watching the run in

[danm77]

I think it was inevitable. We’ve been scraping wins for a while and havent beaten a top 6 side all season. We are not good enough. Its as simple as that.

Precisely. We haven’t had a statement win all season. We’ve come from behind so many times in other games, which just isn’t sustainable. This is a new squad, and there is a lot of quality there but they’re just not quite as good as the peak Klopp team of 2018-2022.

[Party Phil]

No idea how we lasted this long in the title race.

Been abysmal since we threw it all away in the FA Cup vs United. Never recovered from that.

End of an era.

This pretty much sums up my thoughts. Jurgen's time coming to an end with a whimper, not a bang.

[Tonyh8su]

Tsimikas sums it up there. Absolutely fucking shit.

[Nick110581]

Very weird to be blaming fans, we aren’t the ones playing without any heart out there.

It’s a collective.

There was no need to lose the plot after that draw.

[swoopy]

hope arsenal win it now

Nope. Another pointless title for Abu Dhabi.
