Glad this post has had the recognition it deserves, you should post more mate.
After having a quick glance at the post match thread and seeing the predictable shite in there, it's great to see some sense and perspective. Some of our "fans" are pathetic and do not deserve what they want the most.

The phrase " this is on Klopp" needs to be banned from this site. I would be interested in the thinking behind the substitutions, but that is a completely different thing from confidently proclaiming that he "should have" done XYZ.
Is it "on Klopp" that Salah missed a couple of chances, that our dead ball delivery rarely beat the first man, that we frequently misplaced simple passes, that we gifted them the ball by being sloppy in possession?

On a separate note I stupidly paid for a day pass and lasted the grand total of 3 minutes before I muted the commentary. When ever I flicked it back on briefly to gauge the fume, either Tyler or Neville was spouting some convoluted agenda driven shite. Seriously, if Sky want to do something about illegal streaming, making their UK product less bad would be a start.

Good post.

I wold have liked to have seen us start with either Origi or Sturridge as the centre forward, allowing Mane to occupy Coleman.

In looking at some stat posts there's a couple of things that really stick out as odd:

-Origi was a hot mess.  Average position was only ahead of Fabinho!!  He also completed all of 10 passes in 63 minutes with 1 shot while Firmino completed 9 in the following 27.
-Gini was a hot mess.  He was playing like Keita in the 4231 but did nothing.  No dribbles, no shots, no passes. 
-Minimal ball recoveries in the offensive zone.  Everton like ManU did a good job of kicking it long so we couldn't counter-press.

And yet, no changes were made half time. Think that's the main indicator that Klopp wanted to make sure, more than anything, that we didn't lose, before going for the kill.

I know I shouldn't be, but I'm still annoyed by this and the Old Trafford result. Two teams there for the taking and we didn't go for the win. But then I think about the dark days under Hodgson and remember how far we've come!
