Mainz 4 v 0 Liverpool
Get the defence sorted Jurgen!
7 days till Arsenal and no left-back or settled defence. bit worrying.
Would love to see a last gasp triple-swoop for Willems (or Hector), Medel and Draxler but can't imagine we'll sign anyone else. Personally I'd keep Benteke given what a delicate little piece of fine porcelain sicknote Sturridge is.
Honestly, the centre-forward role should go to somebody made of granite not rice-paper.
Get in a Left-back to replace the seriously crap Moreno ( I honestly think that we're going with the "make-do-and-mend" attitude with Milner, Klavan, Gomez and Moreno) but this could bite us in the backside. I also think we need a better Right-back than Clyne but he'll do for now.
If I were Arsene Wenger I'd concentrate on winning set-pieces around our box because with our woefully un-reformed defence we'll be seeing the same crap we've grown used to. Clyne, Lovren, Mignolet and Moreno staring at each other in bewilderment after another soft goal.
It won't matter how much we've spent on attacking midfielders if we haven't got a defence!

Nothing like a knee jerk post to sign off with on a Sunday evening eh?

We beat Barcelona 24hours ago. Perhaps playing 2 games in 1 day had an adverse effect? I know, madness! But who knows?

Jeez

And the most NEGATIVE post of the week goes to.

Anfieldpete conrats mate

C'mon seriously to come on here and berate the players and coaching staff like that over a result that has no meaning whatsoever is ludicrous we really beed better fans than that.

It was a friendly for gods sake for preparation for the fitness levels required of the upcoming season.

Get behind your club if your a supporter or go elsewhere.

Regarding the defence, it's just possible Klopp does know his best defence but decided against playing them twice in 24 hours. Perhaps he wanted to use this match for fitness of the fringe players?
Forget about Draxler and Medel, we have no room in the squad for them. We do need a left back, I would prefer Hector.
Sturridge on form is our best finisher, that's a fact. Origi is in a purple patch but he will struggle at some point.
Benteke will be sold, he is surplus to requirements.

Yes, I can't understand the logic of playing two games less than 24 hours apart, in two different countries, apart from giving young and squad players some game time, the downside is of course, if you get beat or suffer any injuries, or both, now we have to concentrate on picking the right team for next sunday, and hope that we get something from the game .

We already know the right team more or less and it is NOT the one that played vs Mainz.

Damn our backups and retreads not being able to win.

DAMN THEM ALL.

Think my eyes just rolled a full 360. Bitch piss moan. Can we wait until at least the 10-game mark please?

I think our defense has been pretty poor. Migs is an accident waiting to hapoen. We have literally no LB. Our center backs are getting injured every hour.
Slightly worried for the Arsenal game. I would have actually played a completely different team against Mainz and would take that defeat on my chins.
