Our away form is terrible, you cannot expect to win the league dropping points like this. Fuming after this, Newcastle are a poor, poor side and we could not put them away
called it. 7 or 8 absolute sitters missed. complete dirt in midfield til thiago gets on. utd keep chasing and score late on and are on the march we are now headed towards drawing as many as winning as we just dont see the same mentality any more. salah missed an easy hat trick. no excuses.
that was just so frustrating to watch and in particular the front 3 who are just so out of synch its painful to watch .
This is a game where we just couldnt finish the goals. Cannot critisize the quality of chances as they were pretty good. Our finishing is what has cost us today cannot blame Klopp for that only the forwards have to look at themselves.
Same can be said for Fulham Brighton and West Brom. 8 points dropped against those 4 teams. 2 of them will prob get relegated as well. We need a plan B. Change in formation? Something different cos at the moment having to play front 3 every week and they just aren’t clicking. minamino played well v palace in 7-0 win. Hasn’t played since and we’ve drawn 1-1 and 0-0 against two poor teams.
Thiago is back. This will make a big difference over 90 minutes. We’re not even half way through the season and we’re without any recognised CB’s for much of it and several other key players for long spells - but still top. Says everything you need to know about the quality of the other teams really, doesn’t it?
The performance against a poor Newcastle side was just awful. The players passed the ball without any intensity. So damn casual. The Palace performance was the odd one out in our away performances. If we don’t change it soon I can’t see us keeping the top spot although everyone below us are dropping points too. I am sure Klopp will sort it. He has to or otherwise goodbye to the title.
It’s like klopp feels he has to play that front 3. They get pissed when subbed off or don’t play, Salah then comes on scored 2 and sets one up. minamino scored first league goal, dropped. need to show the front 3 that they aren’t indispensable. They can be dropped if they are ****.
Had my heart in my mouth when he went for a bit of a roll after a challenge. After only a few minutes on the pitch you can see he has a quality that others lack.
I Also says a lot about our quality that everyone else can’t win 2 on the bounce and we haven’t built up a lead over them yet. You’d have to think that united, city, spurs at some point will get their **** together she go win 6 on the bounce. If we’re not careful we’ll be 5/6 points behind them have to make city favourites for the league now. 7 behind with 2 games in hand.
Plan B is Thiago and Jota and they have been injured. We have also had to change our game play as Virgil and Gomez give us a different dimension in attack. So we are making do with adapting to the team the personel and it is showing in some games. Watching Philips makes me believe we are in for a centre back.
being saying that for 3 weeks but nobody believes me. City can actually defend now. we just do not have the hunger. missing chances should make them absolutely mad to press and score. instead robertson wasted a minute having a pointless argument after the ball was smashed at him and missed. no thought to driving the game.
I feel it is becoming a concern that the front 3 have dropped off considerably this season, their consistancy is frankly poor this season. Whilst it maybe shocking to consider, but if there was a bid in the summer would it be worth looking at as it would be a hell of a lot of money which could be reinvested.... Mbappe
Given the injuries and the lacklustre performances I'm amazed that we're even in the top 4 never mind first - so I'm still optimistic that we could be the ones to get our **** together. Can't see anyone getting more than 85-88 points this time.
1) IF City win their 2 games in hand, they’re still behind us 2) Yes, some teams might put a run together....so might we Their keeper got mom. We’ve not played well for spells of the last two games but we’re also playing with zero recognised CB’s. This affects the whole team. Lots of time to get this right mate
