Now for my much anticipated review.

Mignolet was very bad. So bad.

Was impressed with the defense in the first half actually

Joe Gomez seemed to get caught on the wrong side for Ozils and Sanchez goals, not his best moment

Mane was a bit of a let down, maybe he needs some games to get some sharpness back.

Couts was a bit weak defending and tracking back.

Anndd, was it just me or did Oxlade-Chamberlain almost seemed scared coming on? He didn't seem to attempt a sprint or show off, shame.

Game fell apart but a point will do fine.

Merry Christmas!

{Ed025's Note - why look for negatives after that feast george, liverpool were excellent and bar for the clown in goal could have won easily mate..just enjoy it..

Sorry Ed, just wanted a turn at match reviews like the rest of ya!

Will get back in my box.

Also, my heart was racing all game! Could not enjoy it!

Totally agree ed025. Mings was shockingly bad, I would hate to be a defender in front of him, he just breeds insecurity. We should and could have won that game easily, Gomez made a silly mistake but Mings was plain embarrassing.

{Ed025's Note - cost you again mate im afraid, questions must be asked about how hes still first choice Kd..

I agree in a sense BUT Coutinho I thought was one of the better players, but him mane and even Salah weren’t at their best. Mingolet needs to be dropped! HAS TOK! Klavan and Lovren played quite well I thought. Firmino again showed why he doesn’t need to score every game he was everywhere! Can plays dquite well. I was worried about Milner repacking Henderson BUT he was actually ok. Real estate a keeper before the CB and I think that’ll help settle the defence. The ref was piddle poor! No major choices but they kick us, it’s fine, we challenge them, free kick. Points thrown away again but a draw was probably fair.

{Ed025's Note - not fair from my seat mate, 2 points lost in the end i think..

When is klopp going to be bold enough and tell Mignolet the uncomfortable truth and that is he is not good enough for Liverpool. For how long are we going to be subjected to such abysmal performance. Can’t klopp see? The hallmark of any good and effective manager is to take decisive steps when faced with a situation that affects the total team performance. This is really disheartening. We have the most unreliable keeper in the top 6. Mr klopp that says a lot about your management style.

{Ed025's Note - pep had the same situation at city ericos...and he kicked hart into touch the first chance he had..

Mignolet is a disgrace no where near good enough. Jamie c an Gary N are correct only klopp can change it or I could buy a one way ticket back to Sunderland for mignolet.

{Ed025's Note - even sunderland are not that desperate TH..

Ed025, that’s why is so strange that a capable manager with a good reputation will allow such a situation to persist in his team for almost 2 years It’s really beyond me. Becos it does not make sense. Klopp have made great changes to our style of play but he has failed with regards to the keeper issue. Ed025 why do you think klopp continues to pu this trust in Mignolet knowing wry well that it is damaging his reputation? Can anyone explain as well?

{Ed025's Note - he must think hes the best you have at the moment ericos, hes a top manager but i must say i think hes got that one severely wrong mate..

Mane has the hump he's not the main man anymore simple. 2 silly mistakes from young joe gomez cost us but he will learn and mignolet is mignolet while he's inbetween the stick this kind of stuff isn't going to change. Time for klopp to toughen up a bit and drop the clown. Definatly should have come away with the 3points tonights. Another game where would have taken a point before game but feels like a defeat at full time.

{Ed025's Note - i cant argue with that leeboy..

Yes without question if this isn't addressed with a quality keeper or give one of the others a run in place of mignolet this is just barmy madness it's obvious we need a new keeper an defensive cover, got a feeling won't b much action in Jan doesn't seem klopp thing.

{Ed025's Note - im sure he will realize that a new keeper is a must hailstones..

Ok here's the thing Ed001 said Migs is on his way out even though he's unreliable. Now if he was a foreword and not doing his job he'd be gone ages ago. So the question is why the hell is JK sticking with him?

{Ed025's Note - god only knows barry mate..

We were slack in not getting Pickford he in my opinion should b England number 1 should of gave Sunderland mignolet back, sayin all that though our scouts wanted Salah an thank God we got him so hopefully they have there eye on some new talent especially at the back, tonight was frustrating but we never got beat an fell behind hope we can get some experience heads with quality too give us a bit more control.

It's really bizarre. He clearly rates Karius and Ward or else why are they still here. And as Ed001 says, the plan is for one of them to replace Migs. I can only assume the delay is to 'protect' them from potential criticism for another while. Not sure why, they're both 24 - not 18, but that seems to be plan.

But it's backfired in every way. Migs has cost us in several games now, and the attempt to protect the other two hasn't worked imo.

Think about it - the Liverpool goalkeeping position is probably going to be the talking point of our team in the media for the next couple of weeks because of Migs' latest error. So if Karius (and it'll be Karius if there's a change) comes in next game, he'll be under a microscope and if he so much as dwells on a backpass, as he's been known to do, the media (and some fans) will be all over him for it.

{Ed025's Note - your right SR....great scorecast tonight mate, i hope you won a few bob..

On the game, I thought Cou was awful defensively and lost the ball at will, moans at the ref and NEVER tracked back to fight for it. He only played when he had the ball and when he lost it, he was useless. His goal does not inoculate him from his defensive showing or lack thereof. In the first half, we had chances to go 4 up BUT we messed up. However with the way we conceded 3 in 5 mins with the eternal clown in goal, not sure we would have been able to hold a 4 goal lead had we had it. Gomez made one mistake today and got punished for it. It was up to the older players to stepthe time came for Migs to do a routine two fisted save, he actually achieved the impossible task of screwing that up and handed them the momentum. Lord, the guy is useless beyond repair.

As for Migs not being thrown out, Ed01 said that Klopp wants to put Karius back in BUT he is afraid of the abuse he will get should he make a mistake and frankly with the way some of our fans behave, I am as well. Now that was a while ago so don't know if something has changed. Karius should come in now and be done with it till the end of the season cos the draws are killing us.

{Ed025's Note - i think even klopp knows that now brover, i will be amazed if he starts the next game mate..

Don’t rate Pickford either. Very average keeper, not particularly special. He’s better than Mignolet but that’s not saying much. If we are to compete at the top we need a proper top clsss keeper.

{Ed025's Note - i happen to agree Mr D..

Ed Pep saw the keeper situation at City wasn't working and bang change of keeper job done.

Mings was poor and should be looked at being replaced but let's all be honest here the game should of been over by half time . The fab four are great when on fire but it is games like this tonight when they have to be on fire kill games off not let teams back into them by missing chance after chance this is were the manager and the coaches need to get in to their heads. Point's dropped will come back and kick us in the back side. I would also like to say and this is a first i thought the ref had a good game .

It's not just Migs,
We've all been seeing it for years now, the whole defensive unit needs upgrading,
Between them we gift at least 1 goal each game, if not Migs its Lovren, if not Klaven its Moreno,

Something also has affected Mane, He gets in great positions but makes the wrong final decision,

We should have been 3 up before Migs moment,
not all is well behind the scenes I fear,

Agree with everything ed25 said, bar IT in goal (except way less scary) we could have won. ONE mistake by a young defender get even after that he’s still our best defender, the defence were solid. The team as a whole barring the ‘knock knock’ in goal and we should have won. Not any Tver ‘bad’ performances. Couts slay and mane weren’t bad but could have been better, Firmino showed his class again his hard work is finally getting recognised it seems but as I said as a team performance (not including Krusty the clown) we were good.
