Some proper shite posted on here tonight.
Great player. Not captain material.
Abu Ghrabi has done that way more than what you’ve suggested.
Rush, Fowler and Owen came through at Liverpool.
We signed Torres and Sturridge at the kind of age Nunez is now.
Nunez looked a really good player when we played Benfica but as you said he was best when given space to run into. Most of the teams we play don't give him that space. He had one good chance tonight and he tried to blast it rather than place it.
He might come good in a different system but his finishing is nowhere near Jota's or even Gakpo's.
He lacks the basics. I can't see him becoming the player we need him to be. I'm surprised we bought him at all, based on what I've seen. I just don't see how he'd fit in with any formation or style Klopp likes to play. Looks like the sort of player who'd thrive playing for a team that invites pressure and constantly plays on the break and into space over the top. Trying to play in a packed area against a low block is not his game at all.
The Newcastle game was a high point, but there's been far too many lows. Watching him try and hold the ball up tonight was painful. He was struggling to even get it under control.
Eh?! I do. He said he is tired and I explained what I think has drained his energy over and above what one might expect.
They didn't. This is all self inflicted. We've done it to ourselves.
Just on my way home from town. City centre is very subdued tonight. I'm sorry, but that performance was diabolical. We've lost to a dire relegation side, and so meekly too. I feel for Klopp. The overriding take-home from his tenure is positive and ever so thrilling. We've won virtually everything with him. He didn't deserve to see it ending like this though. Out of the cup to a shocking United side. Beaten at home to the journeymen of Crystal Palace. Out of the UEFA CUP to a willing but fairly average Atalanta. Now, beaten by one of the worse Everton sides in history. Klopp deserved so much more than this.
