After what these boys have given us over the last 2&1/2 years it was inevitable we were gonna have a dip. I don’t think we’re passing quick enough, everything seems to be a yard off. The disruptions haven’t helped, I’m sure they’ll sort it quickly though.

looking at Liverpool Now is like looking at City over the last couple of seasons. When City got 100 points, some teams thought they still had a Chance of playing football and simply got blow away. Liverpool have done exactly the same the last Couple of seasons. Blown teams away. This season teams have sat back and Liverpool have had to break down packed defences. The space is not there and they have to be patient. Teams then try and hit on the break.
The last Couple of years have been tough being a City fan as we have struggled to break down teams. Pep went on record and said he bought Mahrez to help break down teams that sit back. This last couple of weeks City have been getting back to something like City of a couple of years ago. Ironically Diaz at centre half is helping to give City the defensive stability allowing the front five to play a normal game. City look as strong at the back now as they ever did when Vinnie played there. Last season Rodri and Fernandinho played centre half. Teams ripped us to bits notably Jamie Vardy v Fernandinho was a total miss match.
Now looking at Liverpool’s back four with makeshift centre half’s from the midfield, Yup Ave seen it. Liverpool simply have to grind out results til they can get players back to fitness.
Come what May when City struggled through injuries the plastic fans were screaming for Peps head, the last thing Liverpool want is plastic fans screaming Klopp out. The bottom line to Liverpool’s problems are injuries, not Klopp.

Massively agree.

I was very vocal over the summer that 3 centre backs and Fabinho was worth it this season, if it meant we could get Thiago in. Clearly I wasn't to know we'd lose 2/3 for 90% of the season, and right now I'd say I was very wrong!

Like pep with mahrez, Jota was brought in to give the option of the 4th attacker and has been bloody brilliant. And is injured! What these boys have done over the last few seasons is beyond insane to me. Anyone even considering calling for Klopp's head deserves their's looking at! it was bound to catch up with us... I just wish we were 15 points clear before it had! I promise I'm not greedy...!
 
How the heck has Martinelli crocked himself in the warm up. It looked like one minute he was standing there, the next, he is on the ground.
 
So, pretty boy Mark Wright from TOWIE is in the squad for Crawley tomorrow, who play Leeds in the FA Cup.
Now I understand he was released by Tottenham as a youngster, but that is a FARCE and disrespectful to the other players.
By including him it’s taking away a dream opportunity for a genuine player.
Total disgrace

Tierney looks excellent for you. If that is his normal level then the team generally needs to improve or he will be off. I can see him being in demand. That's hardly tough to say though, it's obvious.

Since hes been fully fit hes been utterly excellent, been playing as one of the central 3 rather than as a full back but still been getting forward down the left, been one of our best 2 or 3 players this year for sure
