Can needs a shoeing for Benteke's second!!!
Can is poor but if you watch it again just watch Lucas he is standing right where Benteke heads the ball .
The whole point of zonal marking is you stay in your zone.
Lucas is drawn to the ball at the near post.
I think Klopp hasn't a clue how to defend.

:whoo: Well deserved win!! Sorry Tashy but your boys weren't good enough for us today.

Another day where we never took our chances, that and another dodgy official. Once Silva was kicked outta the game it was always gonna be a struggle.
Had a good laugh with the Arse fans after the game.

Turns out Benteke is not a 1 in 2 striker after all.....he's a 2 in 1 striker :clap:

In the words of my kids, ow burn.

I find it funny that so many pages have recently about condemning strikers who score goals. Have a go at strikers who score 6, 7, 8 a year, not the guys getting 20+. History shows scoring is the hardest bit of football. If you have someone who does it for fun, year after year, then treasure them.

Anyone claiming they wouldn't take a 20+ per year striker is kidding themselves unless it's the team who is winning all the trophies already.

Lucas moves but it still doesn't help Lovren isn't aware of what's going on around him. Benteke ended up directly in front of Lovren.

Zonal or man marking it doesn't matter when the same players are switching off at set pieces time and time again.

Klopp doesnt have a clue How To defend?? That's a myth.

There was a clear plan on how they were going to defend set pieces, it wasn't Klopp's fault that those players switched off again.

It's going to be a massive summer for recruitment

It happening quite a bit Liverpool conceding goals and points from winning positions, and Klopp's record in finals strongly suggests that he doesn't know how to shut up shop.

I'm struggling to see how he is any better than Rodgers in that dept.

Mental/Physical burn out is the most likely explanation, it seems that Klopp teams can only play and do well flat out doing the high press and that isn't really sustainable - at least if the players are not used to it. Maybe they will have more stamina next year who knows.

Sunday was just another example where teams that are able to hang on and wait for Liverpool to drop their levels can finish strongly and get something out of the game.
