How worrying is it at Liverpool? Draws against two sides in the relegation zone and another injury today. There doesn't seem to be any spark on a regular basis at the moment and the usual pass and move isn't working around the box and they have never really been a side to whack it in the box since the days of Toshack flying in with his head.

Not a worry at all.

Crippled by injuries and well clear at the top despite being in second gear all season. Just a question of how many points they'll win it by. And I think you'll find they have scored more headed goals than anyone this season! You don't need Crouch when you've got the two best crossers in the league at full back. Granted if they had a proper target man as Plan B it would no doubt be more effective but that isn't the Klopp way.

The rest are bluffers, Liverpool will not lose a seconds sleep over Everton, Leicester or Utd.

The sheer amount of games has obviously meant no side is at 100% over Christmas. But winning their CL group and clear top at Christmas is job done, even ignoring the bad luck with injuries.

Looked like a foul on Fab for their goal but they didn’t show it again and no VAR.
Was the game as bad as it looked on the tv.

Yes it was. I'm not blaming him for the result but that ref always oversees the crappiest, biggest time-wasting, frustrating game at Anfield every year. I'm sure he has the same record at a few other grounds up and down the country, also.

Yeah I am. City are the only side who have the quality/manager and they're way off. Everton won't finish within 15 points of Liverpool and Leicester have no squad depth. Liverpool have missed key players all season and still won their CL group and sit top. I think by the time the CL restarts they'll be 10-12 clear and it'll be all over. The Ox getting match fitness, Thiago close and Jota will be a huge boost in a few months. The foot will go down in January.

Could have been worse the ref in the Burnley Leeds game had a mare.
Two shocking decisions , clear and obvious covers it very well.

Really? Crippled by injuries? According to Anfield Online (https://www.anfield-online.co.uk/squad/lfc-injuries.html) you've only got Jota, Gomes, Van Dijk and Alcantra out injured at the minute - plus probably Matip after the game today. That's five players in total.

Everton have got 6 - Gbamin, Allen, Delph, Digne, Rodriguez and Richarlison, and most of the other clubs up near the top of the table have 3 or 4 out injured.

Firmino is not a proper CF and in a game like this that’s what you need.
He’s to deep and never on the shoulder of the CB.
So crossing the balls a waste of time. what’s the point of putting a big man on at 89mins???
Salha waste of a shirt again imo.
Just no urgency from us
Apart from the header can’t remember their keeper saving anything.

Are you seriously blaming Firmino?

Salah waste of a shirt? He's statistically and performances wise our best player over 3 seasons, "supporters" like you don't deserve to watch him week in week out.

Hairball nailed it. Playing high balls into their box played into their hands.

WBA benefited from our mistakes. Piss poor.

Liverpool have been crippled by injuries over the last 2 months. Losing a few main players over a within a few weeks of each other.

The lads who have came in have done well but we couldn't use those same players for long periods and sustain a title challenge.

Not blaming him no but his style dosnt suit today’s game.
He’s not a CF so why all the crosses when there is nobody there.
89 mins to make a sub???

I would sell Salha tomorrow .
He scores goals but so would any decent striker in that team as Jota has proved.
Statistics are not to be relied upon imo.
He couldn’t tackle a wet paper bag.
Bugs me when he starts laughing after missing another easy chance.
We don’t agree that’s fine but you don’t decide who deserves to watch!!

Trying to hold out for 3 points after going ahead after 57 seconds....makes no sense, what a joke.
Wolves deserved a point at the very least, in fact could have got all 3.
When the fans come back I can see quite rightly Mourinho getting grief. It’s like watching paint dry at times.
Mourinho parks that bus so much it’s like it’s never left the depot

It made sense against the likes of Man City, it doesn't make sense playing that way against everyone. In Jose's previous teams he's had world class defenders like Terry, Ramos etc. We don't have a good enough defence to shut teams out for 85 minutes. We need a two-goal cushion. Even at Stoke mid-week we conceded one, but we actually went and got that two goal cushion to win the game. That's what we need to do against Wolves, Palace, whoever it is week to week. If we were doing to hold onto two-goal lead with 30-40 minutes left I think we'd be doing fine. One goal lead for 85 minutes, there's just no way we're not going to slip up once in that time.

Correct I don't but those who sell cup final tickets at 10x their value would be banned for life if i did.

You'd be happy to sell to our best player by Country mile tomorrow?? Madness.

I bet you'd be the 1st one to moan if we did sell Salah and replaced him with Origi etc

Supporters like don't deserve to watch what we're seeing right.now.

He's our leading goalscorer, most assists and you want to sell him?? GTF.
