Piss poor game management yet again. Some of them seriously need to improve.

[Working Class Hen-Pecked Hero]

Thought Joe was excellent tonight, Salah really poor again.

Agree on both. No idea what Jones does since his injury.

Their 2 goals though, miscontrol from Macca and then a pure fluke. Sums us up the recent months

[gerrardisgod]

We got up to February and made pretty much spot on subs all the way, since then we’ve been baffling.

Gakpo should be the first name on the teamsheet for us, look a totally different side with him leading the line.

[Oldskoolcool]

Wow, subbing Endo off was a strange move, we lost all control. Mo Salah.. guys been a club legend but his time looks up unfortunately, he was terrible. If it wasn’t for Ali’s amazing save we would have lost that. Desperately need an elite 6 and a bloody defence coach.

[Bennett]

You take the rough with the smooth given his substitutions kept us in a title race for long enough but our changes in the last two matches have been absolutely catastrophic.

The more you reflect on it, the more you realise how horribly imbalanced our midfield is as well. Arsenal have tightened up even further in recent weeks by pairing Partey with Rice. We ended that game with a midfield three of Szobozslai, Gravenberch and Mac Allister. Where is the defensive steel in that?

[b_joseph]

Whenever we dont have the ball in our own half, we look like conceding. Nothing robust about our team wide defending, at all

[darragh85]

the amount of chances we give up is crazy. that could have been another 7 3

[Father Ted]

Entertaining, if occasionally shambolic end of season knockabout that had no real consequence for us anyway. No way City or Arsenal capitulate as easily as we did - but we already know we're rightly behind them over the course of the season.

The substitutions didn't exactly work in our favour.

[Cesar]

Decided I want Spurs to get CL now. Always forget how fucking vile their fans are.

Nah spurs fans are every bit as bad imo

[Gifted Right Foot]

MOTM to Klopp for not going crazy and getting a yellow card.

[gemofabird]

Where were the lines for the offsides

[LFCEmpire]

At least we did not lose.

[Brain Potter]

That was a game we were never really in control of… with our porous midfield how can we ever be…
At least nothing was at stake tonight.

[jonnypb]

Why didn't they draw the lines on Nunez offside?

Thought Digne made it close

Looked way off?

[buttersstotch]

Same as last week, the subs killed us really. I think it's too hard to read in to things, one mistake and a complete fluke for the 3rd.. that said we got cut through like butter many times. Don't know why Salah wasn't hooked instead of Gakpo, thought he looked fairly gassed at half time.

Anyway would have been great to win, but meh it doesn't really matter all being said. Clearly lots for us to improve in the summer.

[mikey_LFC]

Fluke cost us a win away against a top side. Mostly the better side. We need fine-tuning, not major changes.

[whtwht]

Awful last 10 minutes. End the season already

[AndyMuller]

So bad at the back.

[11 friends]

Mac looked shattered again and needed replacing, but wasn`t.The last 15 min summed us up really:fits and spurts but seldom any consistancy. Hope we become defensively sound again under Slot.

[Wabaloolah]

Diaz was onside. When they fast forwarded to the goal I assumed they were just making sure Mo/Harvey were on too. Scandalous decision.

Duran's foot was off. You could see it with the naked eye.

The subs killed us and not for the first time this year.

they were both very close for sure, it at least deserved the lines to be shown, it just opens them up to claims of corruption when they fail to do so

[killer-heels]

It doesn’t matter ultimately.

But over 40 goals conceded now.

[crewlove]

Performances like that are the reason nothing was riding on it.

Exactly.

[Buster Gonad]

We were comfortable at 1-3.

So comfortable we fell asleep

[medley]

I'd like to see some steel in this team again. I hate how teams can open us up and scare us on the counter attack time after time. They had so many chances and probably 3-3 was a fair result but to basically give them in the impetuous to get back in the game when it was 3-1 criminal.

Villa had basically given up at around 70 minutes and we just needed to see the game out. Shambolic game control shown

[Fromola]

Stupid thing about that game was Villa had given up at 3-1. We still gift them a way back.

[LovelyCushionedHeader]

Tidy finish from Nunez. He has it in him.

He often scores when he's offside. It's because he knew he was so relaxed.

Him understanding what offside is a bigger issue than his finishing.

[spider-neil]

Season in a nutshell
Imagine we were going for the title and gave those goals away.

It's pointless to go there. If we were in with a shot of the title then no way are we making 4 subs at the same time.

[robertobaggio37]

Looked way off?

He was clearly off

[Schmarn]

It’s a useful reminder to the owners that they need to spend. Add Rice or Rodri to this side instead of Endo and we’re champions. Not a knock on Endo who has more than repaid his fee but we’ve neglected the position for too long,. If we go cheap again we’ll lose ground.

Feels like a turning point and there will be a few going this summer.

[lgvkarlos]

Diaz was onside. When they fast forwarded to the goal I assumed they were just making sure Mo/Harvey were on too. Scandalous decision.

Duran's foot was off. You could see it with the naked eye.

The subs killed us and not for the first time this year.

Alexis miss control cost us but who cares.

[jillcwhomever]

Sums up our season. Playing ping pong in our penalty area doesn’t help.

Very frustrating to see how our multiple substitutes disrupts the flow, despite them all being quality players.

The subs were the key for me not one of them contributed to anything and we just lost complete control of the game.

[kavah]

Fucking hell - mad game. No wonder we’re always on the Telly

[Dougle]

Thought Joe was excellent tonight, Salah really poor again.

Agree about Joe. Less so about Mo, I think he had good moments, linked well, he was wrestled, literally wrested all game by Villa. Not the danger he once was though.

[GoldenGloves25]

We really need a destroyer in midfield. Sorry but Endo just aint that.

[danm77]

A game that sums up our season. So poor defensively.

I really hope we learn how to exert control in games again. Can’t deal with this heart in mouth football in every game we play.

Even the Spurs game, I was at Anfield and we let 4-0 slip to 4-2 and Spurs could have got a 3rd and a 4th.

[djschembri]

Was a dead rubber in the end, but it would be nice to change how we play once in a while according to the game state.

Like, 3-1 up away from home in the last 10 minutes, against the team who is just below us in the league, maybe look to close off the game?

[stockdam]

Or the Salah/Diaz one or their equaliser

You could see using the lines on the pitch.

[Bennett]

It doesn’t matter ultimately.

But over 40 goals conceded now.

It's like the Brendan Rodgers title challenge year.

[Kashinoda]

It’s a useful reminder to the owners that they need to spend. Add Rice or Rodri to this side instead of Endo and we’re champions. Not a knock on Endo who has more than repaid his fee but we’ve neglected the position for too long,. If we go cheap again we’ll lose ground.

Weird jab at the owners who were prepared to pay £110 mill for Caicedo.

[MonsLibpool]

When i mt was pointed out at HT that we're poor defensively,  some said it was a kneejerk reaction based on the scoreboard. The same people will probably overreact now.

Slot needs to fix our defence. That's it.

This is a dead rubber that's practically a preseason game for us.
