re: OFFICIAL Liverpool FC 2015-2016 Season Long Thread: Basel Bound!

We really are bad at finishing. Controlled the game statistically except for shots on target and goals. Had the chances and didn't make them. We will either get better at that or klopp will bring in guys that are better at it.

I thought we were the better team... both of their goals were down to defensive blunders..

But hats off to them, they are getting the results...

We're clearly the superior team again. Mental lapses in defense again. Just sucks that they had absolutely zero sustained pressure and ended up winning. We're so unlucky.

Nobody is going to buy him until he has a good run of staying healthy and at that point, why would we sell?

I agree that we can't rely on him and thats why Rodgers brought in Benteke... and while I think he's a good player, I just don't think he's the best fit for the type of football Klopp wants to play..

I would be okay cutting bait with Origi... Not that I think he's bad, but he's nowhere good enough now..

Classic negachris back in full form

He scored over 20 goals 2 seasons ago, I'll take that any time, even if it means time out of the team or him being rested more...

Benteke is a great option to have, but I can't see him wanting to play a bit part role..

I definitely think Origi should go out on loan if he stays with us, but I don't really see him being a special player... I'm waiting to see just a glimpse, but I haven't seen anything.. He just doesn't seem to have a killer instinct.. too timid.. If we decided to sell, I'd be okay with it..

Can I be NegaStark?

This F'n weekend. All three of my favorite teams got beat by their own bogeyman.

'Pool to Crystal Palace (again)
LSU to Bama (again)
Saints to any rookie quarterback (again).

F it all.

That is the biggest thing I see. We still have defensive WTF moments, which suck and make me want to throw the remote, but offensively we are finally getting into the final third and with some consistency. Even though we are putting together nice plays to open up shots, we are just not finishing our shots. We squander our opportunities which is maddening to watch. We do need to loan out Origi and figure out a goal hungry striker quickly. Weird as it is, I wouldnt mind seeing Balo back to give him a crack at it, seeing as he will be under contract again. Defensively, we need to get another solid CB, but also hope Sakhos injury isnt too severe in the short term. Our overall play has greatly improved, especially in the midfield, and in creating opportunities in the final third, but we simply cannot capitalize on them. Its a disappointing result, but Im still positive as to where the club is headed.

Time to see if Lovren is actually terrible or if it was just the Rodgers curse. I'm going with actually terrible though unfortunately.

Mother fricker.

So...

Gomez Sakho Toure Flanagan
Milner Henderson Rossiter Ibe
Ings Benteke

All out.

This is ridiculous.
