He's constantly fricking up attacks

When he is at RB a lot of our attack flows to him. When he gets near the box he either cant find anyone open or gets dispossessed way too easy trying to drive the net. I dont think he is all that bad on the defensive side of the ball, other than he is getting slower.

Just finished watching

Honestly, I'm not even that disappointed. Our backline (for the most part) was very organized and hard working. Just some occasional lapses in concentration (Moreno ) which I hope they learn can't happen, but you could see the quality from City in those moments where they took advantage of it. Still some problems you can see playing the new guys though as you can see Lovren trying to push the line up, but the right side was very slow in reacting. At this point, I just want some kind of stability to try and work out the kinks.



We had some moments where we looked fluid and creative in the final third, but a lot more passive unfortunately then I think we should have been. At this point, it's hard to say what formation/lineup will suit us best, inserting Balotelli for the 4-4-2 or going 4-3-3 and trying out Markovic because he looked a lot more active and changed our dynamic later in the game.

I fully expect us to have our growing pains with all the new guys and young players that still need to adjust to the side/league, so I was prepping for losing 3 points today. Hopefully with time they can figure it out, and Rodgers can figure out everything, but I still think the big part that led to our success last year was getting 3 points from most/all the bottom half teams to stay in CL and sustain our success.

Hopefully, our injuries aren't too bad, but now I'm glad we worked on improving our depth, but I think we could still use a solid/big name CM to come in, although probably not this window. I hope Rodgers uses our upcoming cup games and hopefully some easier CL games if we our group isn't stupid hard to try and work out some formations/player combinations to see where we stand.

nice edit bc i was about to say its crazy how so many Liverpool fans throw him under the bus bc he was solid back there for a long time. But dude is clearly on the back end of a very good career.

We throw him under the bus because he's fricking terrible. I don't give a damn what he did 5 years ago, he's by far the weakest part of this team. He doesn't care, he doesn't try. He can frick right off. I'll roll out a god damned red carpet for it.

Easily my least favorite player on Earth. I'd buy a guido judas shirt before a Glen Johnson one.

After watching I'm not nearly as doom and gloom as most of what I'm reading on the net. I know I'll get crucified by the board for saying this, but outside of 3 absolutely inexcusably bad errors, we looked the better team. I get it, if my mom had a dick she'd be my dad. City took their chances. But there's a decent amount to be positive about.

Also, Joe fricking Allen.

Must get 3 points on Sunday.

Not so sure its a must, but it wouldn't be good to lose. More so for the mentality it would leave than anything else.

Well rewatching the last 5 minutes he looked completely fine to me. Tracked runs, put in tackles, passed it quickly out the back with no problem.

but that new backline is all over the place.

The old back line is the part all over the place. They refused to step up and it cost us the second goal. If they don't get Rafa out of their head we'll never have a defense worth a damn.

No I know, it was just a poor attempt at being clever and another chance to take a dig at that frick face Glen Johnson. An opportunity I never pass up.
