Liverpool are precariously balanced on a knife's edge right now and any slip-up will be deadly.
Yep, we don't really control our destiny entirely (depends upon the Machester Derby) and we have zero room for error - especially considering how ManU just aren't losing - they are picking up points every matchday.
So...my thoughts today - we really only had one guy with the creativity and impetus to get anything done.
I said this a few weeks ago and I'll reiterate it here - Klopp is entirely to blame for this for not picking up guys in January. Yes, he said they weren't available in January - but if Brandt is who you want, and they have to sell him for a reduced rate in the summer because of a release clause - then you make them an offer you can't refuse. We already knew that we had injuries off the normal scale, Mane out for the ACON, etc. Now we have a squad that is largely incapble of fighting out wins on a regular basis and not nearly enough creative power up front to really challenge. The commentator referred to our bench today as Kindergarten Klopp and he was right.
I've pretty much made up my mind that we are in big trouble if Origi is our second striker next year (assuming we get Europe of some kind). Orig is young - and possibly could add this to his game, but he has ZERO anticipation. How many through balls were sent in his directly today that he wasn't even running for? 10? Can, Cou, Milner, and Firmino were all visibly frustrated with him at different times. He is completely incapable of creating his own goals short of the from the left wing. He routinely destroys and stifles offensive creation around him by not making runs, not making good passes, and not seeing the guy thats open. We need much better in our squad as a regular starting (challengin Firmino and starting 20-25 games)and sometime sub if we're going to challenge for anything next year.
Lovren's five year contract is a joke. He doesn't have much value - so making for a longer contract will only lock him to us since I doubt anyone with any funds would be willing to buy him. His "only" real value is that he can play both sides, and thus could be of value from the bench. But I'd rather never see him again.
Having said that - I don't know what the hell Matip is doing on the first goal. He needs to take a quick look back and see that the only threat is the one behind him and he was in no man's land.

Well, I think Klopp has admitted it was a mistake... Just learn from it, please!
Man U has a tough run in and their injuries are starting to add up to... pulling for City this week!
Ive never hated a player like I do Lovren... He actually has all the physical tools, he just doesn't have it mentally...
