Well this is ****ing dire. We look like a bunch of clowns. Might as well be pedalling around on mini bicycles and throwing buckets of confetti everywhere
If I was a manager of fine any player that commits a foul at a free kick or corner. 50% of your match fee if you give away a free kick at an attacking set piece.
The Keita experiment was an absolute failure we can confidently say. Why the hell did he play Keita in such an important match and bench Thiago when he had such a good game against Arsenal? Was it such a brainstorm from Klopp? Awful first half from us but we can’t play as badly in the second and we need that goal to give us hope for the second leg.
Have to say that the players didn’t know what to do. Klopp has got it totally wrong and the players haven’t helped. Minimum that we should expect is for them to want the ball and be able to pass it. Going out like this is awful.
I have no idea what the tactics were meant to be because the players couldn't pass more than 3 times in succession. Klopp can't do anything about that, or if the midfield want to stand like statues when we have the ball or Trent deciding to provide a lovely cushioned header to assist Asensio Him starting Keita over Thiago is an odd one though
We are playing Madrid and cannot get motivated to run. I feel sorry for Keita but we are sitting back and not pressing. The line between CBs and the press is massive. No shots so they just need to up the tempo and create good scoring opportunities for Jota and Salah. Hoping for an away goal
Oxlade chamberlain, Keita, Wijnaldum, Shaqiri should be gone at the end of the season hopefully. Midfield needs a proper rebuild with players that can actually score.
Maybe if they made a little hoot noise and somebody fell into a bucket of water it would be a bit better.
Half in which Trent will need to salvage his reputation, He hasn’t covered himself in glory in that terrible first half. He can do it.
