I think the biggest mistake this season is the midfield trio of hendo, can and winaldum. there's not enough quality there. always try and stick a player like firmino, continho in there. people who can go from midfield and score.

the thought of the ox in a front 3 worries me. i don't think he will even score 5 goals this season. I can see why he wants to be a cm which would be ok.

we just need people who can finish. The only players tonight I thought might score were continho and maybe solanke and that's not enough. its a a shame we didn't have 1 of salah, mane sturridge or firmino tonight, it might have made the difference.

woodburn looks like a threat but came on for continho so no real difference there. the ox just felt like the misplaced guy for me tonight. along with our weak midfield as usual.

Benny and a couple were in argument with me over Hendo that He would easily walk into the Spurs team 😄😄. If not liverpool FC he wouldn't have made it to the England National team ever!

{Ed001's Note - funny that, only he would have walked in to Fergie's midfield at Man Utd, as he tried to sign him more than once. Hence his bitter nasty little dig at the lad and false claim that he was put off by the running style. He would not get in right now, but that is because he is off form, but the boo boys are out in force as usual, showing that they fail to understand the word support.}

Sorry ed nothing wrong with my support for the players. I never rated him not from the day we signed him for Sunderland. There is hard core difference between SUPPORT and having an OPINION on players. I support every liverpool player, But I don't rate Henderson as a player! As much as I have seen footie over the years he is is average according to me in the position he plays.
Cheers.

{Ed001's Note - if you say so Harry.}

That is not much of an accolade ed001, our mf had the great tom cleverly starting many games, we had Ryan Giggs, Ryan fecking Giggs starting as a mf in 2 man mf against Barcelona. If sir Bobby Charlton at his current age played for Fergie then, he wouldn't look much worse than what dross we had then.

{Ed001's Note - you had players like that there because Fergie was struggling to recruit players at that stage. Not because of money or because players didn't want to play for United or Fergie, but simply because everyone knew he was ready to retire. I know people think he took his eye off the ball at the end, which is why your team was full of average (at best) players, but it wasn't that. It is difficult to get a player who has a long term future to think of to sign for you when you do not know if the manager signing you will be there in a week's time. Once he made that initial retirement announcement, things were just going to get more and more difficult for him, as everyone knew he was thinking about leaving and each season was more likely to be his last.}

Have to disagree ed001, midfield was an issue Fergie failed to resolve since 09-10, after Anderson in 07-08, our next mf signing was Nick Powell and Shinji Kagawa in 12-13, can't blame retirement for that middle period of inactivity. Other positions maybe you are right but I think he was a bit stubborn at the end be it with transfer fees or being convinced that likes of Jones, Welbeck, cleverly will come a good, which to us missing out on likes of hazard and compounding our issues once he left.

Precisely wiseryan. Klopp keeps buying more and more central midfielders expecting them all to do all sorts of work in midfield. Just buy a f*****g CDM and sell some B2B players to get better midfield balance. Gini, Grujic, Hendo, Couts, Lallana, Can and next season Keita all play similar positions but not one CDM in the team. No balance in defense and attack, so what did you expect? All the top teams have dedicated and specialist players for certain positions which allow players around them to play better. Casemiro at Real, Matic at Man Utd, Busquets at Barca, Martinez/ Kimmich at Bayern, Motta at PSG. None of the are big name or household names but they do what is asked of them and give better variety and protection to their midfield and defense.
Klopp just throws 3 similar players in midfield and expects each to do a bit of everything in tandem. Its difficult to implement and I doubt the players are too fond of being dragged all over the pitch into unfamiliar territory.
