I know he wasn't the only one to blame, but Kelleher was so weak in goal today. Probably his worst performance for us in a long time. Just shows how important Alisson is to this team.

I agree but it is a bit harsh to judge Kelleher when he hasn't played a first-team game for so long.

[Dave McCoy]

And now for the most important thing, to argue for months about if a transfer is good or not.

[TipTopKop]

Wretched season comes to an end. Though in fairness I mentally checked out a while back.

Let's see what shape this squad will be in come the start of the season.

Lack of game time hasn't really been that much of an issue in the past with him.

[mattD]

Wretched season, fully self-inflicted from all. Time to regroup and reboot, lets go.

You’re assuming there will be some…

You’re assuming there will be some…

We're about to confirm the signing of one of them in  the next 10 days or so.

Wretched season, fully self-inflicted from all. Time to regroup and reboot, lets go.

Was it a wretched season though or likely to be the new norm?

For me, we have massively overachieved since Klopp arrived. I think those expecting us to automatically go back to 90+ seasons and challenge City season in, and season out may be in for a rude awakening. 

We are around fifty-fifty to get top 4 next season and around 10-1 to win the League.

[Samie]

Al, season's over mate. Shut the fuck up for a few months.

[Lubeh]

A kinda meh season for us, some highs , many lows but still 5th not as bad as it could have been, get back in the CL next season ,  whether by winning the Europa or being top 5 (starts next season 5 english teams due to records), we need that midfield sooner rather than later, big job this summer lets hope FSG realise it.  Looks like Mac is coming, would love us to go for Dominik Szoboszlai with Mac and Ugarte/Thuram/Gravenberch one of them three and maybe a Timber or Mickey van der ven for the defence, just hope its not Neves and Lavia though i guess atm anything with legs is better than what we have had for most of season in mid. game reflected the season brilliant  to awful to kinda meh. still what feels like a bad season in 5th aint too bad considering.

roll on next season (fsg get that wallet out or go).

[Samie]

Harsh!
 

It's all love.

And yet...

Or how much we have to spend.

Is that just before we went on our long unbeaten run? Be great if you kept it that way.

I think top five gets CL footy from next season. Anyway I think we have underachieved to a degree this season.

In terms of our squad going forward I think it still has a lot a quality in it; however, to reach reach the heights of 90+ points and challenge City like we have in the past we have get the next couple of signings absolutely stop on in the way that did with Mane, Salah, VVD and Alisson. This will not be easy to do but it certainly is possible.   

[Garnier]

About time this season ended, hopefully it will be good long period before pre-season even begins - they're all visibly knackered.

Excited about the possibility of a deep Europa League run

Onwards

The lad Sulemana reminds me of Manι

Fair point but there's more to him than that and only 21

[Eeyore]

The lad Sulemana reminds me of Manι

Today was his 18th League game for Southampton and the two he scored today are his own goals. He played 14 League games for Rennes and scored once.

What's your point?

[Eeyore]

What's your point?

Mane was always a prolific goalscorer. Sulamana isn't.

[BCCC]

Mane was always a prolific goalscorer. Sulamana isn't.

Could well score more goals in a better team in my opinion and there's more to a good forward than goals. We've just said goodbye to one.

[jooneyisdagod]

Sad but true

[classycarra]

So would I running at Fabinho and Gomez

I could only see highlights today, and I was too busy seeing the funny side of Fabinho's efforts for their first (was like a comedy mime act in a silent film) and third (failing miserably to put in the deliberate foul he was attempting, followed by Milner appearing to be twice as fast as him), to spot what Gomez was doing until multiple replays later - was actually impressive how far he sat off and how much space he offered (seemed like half the length of pitch from the ball to the goal). He may as well have held those coloured paddles people use at airports to steer people through safely.

Gomez did that all the time! I noticed that the first time when we lost to Atletic Madrid in our home knock out game. I was so mad with him but it seems none of the coaches at Liverpool have a word with him about this retreating habit. It’s so bad. I am sorry to say Gomez is not good enough to play CB for us any more, the position requires a top class CB given the way we defense. When he plays, our ridiculous defence returns. Moreover if Klopp still doesn’t realize we need to buy a better and faster DM then I will be very disappointed with him.

[NarutoReds]

I just can't believe we scored four goals but still couldn't win.

Good to see there is nothing wrong with our attacking line, they delivered goals and goals.

Just need to fix more on our defence and midfield. **Sulemana!!   

[Gifted Right Foot]

Thank god thats over.  At least we turned things around at the end of the season and have a bit of a positive foundation to build off for next season.  One of those positives is Gakpo.  He really surprised me, especially in that forward role. 

[lamonti]

Useful way to end the season: let's not kid ourselves that that winning streak against a bunch of bad teams can hide how dreaful we were for most of this season.

Huge amounts of change needed.

[reddebs]

It's alright for you lot being able to switch off from our games but I've got the massive League one play off final at Wembley to get through today.

With 2 Sheffield Wednesday supporting kids at Wembley for the game and a Barnsley supporting hubby at home watching, how the fuck do you stay impartial 🤷

At least I can be happy whoever wins but they won't 😟

[na fir dearg]

Southampton's 3rd was terrible, we can't allow that type of goal to happen next season

A reminder of why Joe Gomez is sadly done at this level, back-pedalling faster than most players can run, all the way to the penalty spot. In addition to two midfielders we need another centre back to be Ibou’s future partner and reduce the load on Virg.

Thought it was really bizarre that we chose Gomez to play in the middle and Matip on the right.

[Son of Spion]

That goal was well taken by him, but a shambles of a goal from a defensive point of view. He could have back flipped from his own half then waltzed through us with his wife before slotting home. It was that bad.

[BornRedSince76]

What a dire season.

Let’s hope we get the recruitment right and finally get a midfield that can compete.

[liverbloke]

yesterday's game? meh

roll on next season and we are still in europe let's not forget

shitty times behind us - exciting times ahead

Yes, let's blame a players whose had to sit on the bench for endless weeks who then gets thrown in with an entirely new back line in which to operate, and a midfield who is barely able to win one ball back in the entire game.

Whilst I wouldn't go as far as to say that Gomez is done, he probably has a point. Gomez probably is done for us. He's obviously not solely to blame for some of the goals we conceded yesterday but the deficiencies that he has displayed throughout his whole career with us were on display yesterday for the umpteenth time. He probably belongs at a West Ham/Bournemouth etc type of club and not with us.

Give it a rest.  Or at least stick to the FSG thread.  Jesus
