We should sub TAA off. Having an off day. Our front 3... taking things easy

Too many passengers today. Jones, Ox, Robbo, Firmino were just awful. Other's not great. Klopp's failure to react faster was also frustrating.

That said what is most frustrating is we are suffering the very same problem we had last season, blasted injuries but this time its our MF instead of CBs Our MF is not balanced and this was clearly shown once Naby came off, injured yet again

We desperately need Fabinho back at the very least.

And what did I say about Potter & Brighton?! A very good manager and Brighton are no push overs.

Not winning when you are 2 nil up at home is shockingly bad. Lucky not to lose though so we take the point.

Chelsea quietly doing the business at the moment. Luckily City at least dropped points.

What I feel is Vvd has been horrendous lately! He doesn't organised the defence anymore like he used to do, the back 4 were in sixes n sevens n the midfield was completely outran during the 2nd half.. It seems now the 5-0 victory last week has been useless...

not the result i was hoping for when we were 2-0 up, fell asleep after that and woke up to 2-2..................

then see Spurs lost 0-3 to Man U, confused again..............

yes we need Fabinho back, and Thiago too.

I totally agree with this. He is no longer as vocal or commanding. Coming back from his injury, he is still a shadow of the man he used to be. $300k per week wages. Maybe that is why FSG is hesitating giving Salah $400k per week. Salah wasn't $400k per week material last night.

We could have lost 4-2. TAA was terrible last night. As for our midfield, it is hard to expect much when our 5th and 6th midfielder (Jones and Ox) are playing. Jones is stagnating... still playing safe, meaningless passes. Harvey Eilliot is a much better midfielder.

This means Liverpool forced to spend in January transfer window.

Cannot expect much when they played so many matches. Bound to have poor periods. Must be also Salah didn't score.

Anyway when season starts nobody gave Liverpool any chance to win or even second or third.

Unrecognizable from the team that beat the scums 5-0....only consolation Man Shitty lost to CP..

Here's where we are at. We have an exceptionally good side that again isn't good enough to perform consistently well once you remove several good components from the side and the players who come in aren't close to being good enough to maintain the level.

It is like last season all over again. We're down to the bare bones in one particular area of the field, and expecting us to just keep ticking over. As good as the team is, unfortunately it isn't that good.

Lot of thinking for Klopp to do and i hope he does not remain stubborn and just keep sticking to 433.

If we are left with Hendo, Ox & Jones in MF for both upcoming Atletico & West Ham games I am afraid it might turn into a nightmare of a week

Actually can always shift Taa to midfield n play Gomez as RB, not to say Taa will be sorely missed @RB... A midfield of Hendo Fab n Taa seems interesting.. Hopefully Fab n Thiago are back for the coming At.Mad match.. Our favourite player Keita will be out for awhile (as usual) with a hamstring..

[ThisIsMelwood]

This is the time when we need our bench to step up.

See how badly Ox and Jones played when given opportunity. Jones was let off during the Carabao Cup match with Preston. Brighton teaches them a lesson. Captain Hendo was right to be upset.

Think should let Ox go.

So now no choice either we go to the transfer market or bring academy player in.
