On a side note, it's these games where i think how truly special Gerrard was for us. It was these types of games we had a legendary player to belt it in or win it on his own. We don't have that. Bellingham could have been it but those types of players come once in a blue moon.

Woeful. Our ability to work it through the lines is absolutely horrendous right now.

Our attack shape seems to be 3-2-0-5

It plays around the back for a donkeys age until there's a long pass on. Nobody is getting on it in the half space in front of goal when there's a break on. Salah and Nunez are so far off it. I've been a huge fan of Nunez but he has been absolutely woeful since the international break.

We are actually bad to watch at the moment. I find myself getting bored during games.

I turned it off Davey after the first goal. Could not stomach watching those god awful tactics play out. Writing was on the wall in the first 5 mins.

Heavy metal football that was not! Change is good people!

24 Apr 2024 22:20:01
Haven’t seen heavy metal football for 4 years.

We don't deserve to be league winners the way been performing the last 5/ 6 weeks, just a shame it's ended this way for klopp with a whimper.
Best of luck to arsenal.

24 Apr 2024 22:05:13
I’d rather city win than Arsenal.

24 Apr 2024 22:07:36
Yeah last month r so has been so disappointing. Never really thought we good enough to win league but expected us to give a good fight. We've just totally fell apart with just a whimper. If vvd not doing everything himself at back we allover the place and the less said about forwards the better.

24 Apr 2024 22:33:23
Only one who comes out of this with any credit is Alisson. Mac was played out of position, everyone else was poor.

24 Apr 2024 22:44:53
I don't understand why he puts Macca at 6. He's been great since he moved him forward after being hum ho at 6. Szoboslai very poor again start Elliott. At least he puts in a shift.

24 Apr 2024 22:02:08
I honestly don't know why the players are throwing their arms around we have been awful from start to finish tonight. Can't think of one Liverpool player who has had a decent game. I honestly don't believe we have the mentality to win the league, and we haven't for the last few seasons. One loss to United and it derails our entire season. We don't seem to have the ability to step up a level when we need to. Hopefully the next manager can change that.

Fair play to Everton, took their chances well and deserved the win. I would say hopefully City and Arsenal drop points but tbh we don't deserve the league with our recent performances.

24 Apr 2024 22:00:12
The only positive is that we have enough points for a champions league position.

24 Apr 2024 22:04:43
We won’t win the CL without huge investment the last thing we need to do is start making out like qualifying is an achievement. You’re 1st or you’re not.

24 Apr 2024 22:07:08
Um, I wouldn’t be so cocky.

24 Apr 2024 22:16:00
Tell that to man city Victor, they have been beyond cocky and have won the prem what 4/ 5 in the last 5 years.

24 Apr 2024 22:33:56
We don't have top four locked up yet and still have to play Villa and Spurts. On this form we lose both and top 4 not a guarantee.

Sad that the klopp era is ending this way.

Last few weeks too many players have let him down.

I think the new manager in the summer should use the opportunity to move a few on.

Dress it up any way we like, we have let this one slip this season in a year where Man City haven’t been their best and they gave us an opportunity, we have messed it up.

People will reference the tactics being wrong but let’s be honest, tactics have got nothing to do with players being unable to make simple passes or control a football.

Somebody will have to explain to me why Diaz keeps being mentioned as being sold. He’s one of the only players who has actually tried and kept going against the adversity. Be one of the first ones I’d look to keep!
Mac Allister.

{Ed001's Note - I disagree - Klopp and his turgid tactics are the issue. Him and Lijnders have dragged a great team into mediocrity with this imbecilic inverted 'let's copy Man City' nonsense. That is the issue. And if you don't think tactics are the problem and they don't have anything to do with it, then why do we even need managers in the first place?}

24 Apr 2024 22:05:16
It’s not Man City he’s copying Ed it’s Tony Pulis’ stoke.

24 Apr 2024 22:05:44
No composure from out striker again. Would you agree ed that the club needs to overhaul in the summer. Endo was awful again. Nunez, salah, tsimikas, gravenberch, Robertson as well as thiao and mario need moving on.

{Ed001's Note - not really. We need to sort out the tactics and actually play to our strengths. Then we can see who needs to go.}

24 Apr 2024 22:05:53
Totally agree Ed
If you want to see what a manager playing tactics that suit his players, just look at Everton tonight.

24 Apr 2024 22:07:46
His tactics and team selection and positioning have been horrendous. Why play jota on the left and gakpo through the middle when gakpo played for Ajax and the Netherlands on the left wing, and jota is the best finisher we have. The game ageing Fulham showed how good gakpo is on the left wing, with jota playing as striker and scoring too. I would not play Nunez or salah again this season because we play better without them!

24 Apr 2024 22:08:40
I agree with you Ed, been saying for weeks these tactics are shocking and don’t play to the squad’s strengths. I love Klopp for what he has done but it’s evident over the last 3 seasons that we need a different approach. I hope the new manager can set us up and use the squad to win games not give a toss about how other teams are trying to reinvent the wheel.

24 Apr 2024 22:10:02
I think it was started by the Diaz camp. Once his father was quoted as saying his son wanted to move to Spain eventually, it is entirely understandable that fans started to turn against him.

Anyway. Diaz is not as good as Mane. My opinion. Keep or sell him, it's the new manager's decision.

24 Apr 2024 22:16:01
Edd001 that's why I think the calm few just look forward to the new gaffer hoping we return to heavy metal football. Lot of overreaction to that performance and writing people off but i just watched and yawned the entire game at how draining we were. Salah has to move on imo but we have a very good squad with a few new hopefully top additions to come in. I'm hoping whoever comes in scraps that garbage.

24 Apr 2024 22:14:43
I think a right back not even jumping to with an attacking player giving him a free header on goal is also a factor too Ed. can't excuse that in any way shape or form. He actually clapped his hands as Calvert-Lewis jumped.
What the F was that? I’ve no awareness to jump but I’ll put him off by clapping.
Trent wonderful going forward. Some of his passing is outrageously good. But a Liability defensively. And if truth be told, always has been.
First thing you want from a defender is the ability to defend.

{Ed001's Note - why you singling out Trent when that ball was Virgil's to win? He bottled out of every header tonight. That is the first problem. If you have Trent up against Calvert-Lewin then you are in trouble anyway. Trent was awful, but get it right, van Dijk was an absolute disgrace tonight, too busy whining and allowed himself to get bullied by an average Prem forward. The free header was just as much on him, and Szoboszlai, who allowed himself to be manhandled out of the way very easily.}

24 Apr 2024 22:23:33
Diaz has been one of our better and consistent performers but no mane that's for sure. If he's sold it wouldn't break my heart and we should get good money for him. We can talk about Nunez scoring 20 goals but he should have 30 with the chances he's missed this season.

24 Apr 2024 22:25:26
I think it's time for a change.

24 Apr 2024 22:36:30
Szoboszlai has been useless since about November. I’d rather Elliott start but even then we need to be honest about these players. Shaqiri was a better player than Elliott and he didn’t play half as much. The tactics are crap Klopp looks like a bit of a dinosaur at the minute not able to keep up with the modern game.

24 Apr 2024 23:04:12
Tactically with mane and bobby and salah, i've said it before, mane worked with robbo and salah with trent bobby fed them both and picked up the scraps a formidable formula with great players, mane and bobby gone, why not say ok Nunez you ain't a finnisher like mane but you can create the physical panic down the left that mane did and you will get goals and create chances, for some bizare reason he's pegged salah back by stripping trent away from him, playing trent as a roaming mid stroke right back has don fk all except expose salah as the frustrated player who left Chelsea. At no stage has Klopp thought yeah bobby and mane gone but let's try and create a similar formula with nunez left diaz central and salah right. Tonight though sounded like virgil might fancy a change.
