Got what we deserved.

When your keeper has the ball for half the game (exaggeration Iknow) your not going to get a good result especially in Europe.

Shame really.

Heres looming forward and a fresh start,

What’s the point of this constant passing back to Alison and he just stand’s there wasting up to 20 seconds each time! Watching it on the TV there is no movement or desire from any Liverpool player to want the ball. Van Dijk just stands there screaming at players to pass it back to him and Allison. Both of them use to play some brilliant long range passes but they seem to have no interest or maybe the forwards aren’t making the right runs. It was a terrible performance with the subs coming on performing worse than the players they replaced.
Well done to Atlanta because they turned up in both games with a brilliant attitude and were clinical in the first leg while also creating some great chances tonight.
It looks like Klopp will leave without a whimper. In my opinion he has under achieved. I know a lot of people will disagree but he has left behind at least 2 Premier league titles and 1 champions league along with the Europa League and league cups.
He’s given the club some of its best nights in history but unfortunately hasn’t added enough trophies.
I saw a quote recently from him saying people shouldn’t ask him about what it takes to win in England because he normally finishes second. It breaks my heart hearing him speak like that because he gives his absolute best. He just doesn’t seem to get the luck when it really matters.

Wasn’t to be tonight, after an excellent start, they played rubbish and created nothing
Salah is finished in the prem, no pace and lost all of his retention skill set.

Well that wasn’t the way we wanted to finish Europe under Klopp. But all good things come to an end. Atlanta looked a lot stronger than us. Fitter and there press was amazing. I just can't see why Salah was pick tonight. He has been a shadow of himself for ages now and tonight has to be the worst I’ve ever seen from him. ( yes I know he scored a pen) but he did nothing else literally nothing to the point were it was embarrassing. He was getting pushed around like a 10 year old and has lost everything that he was good at.
I know Klopp wanted to make space by getting players to move away from man making but it just created confusion and in the end the ball was kicked long and then lost It really is a sad way for Klopp to finish his last couple of game because he is getting out smarted by everyone at the moment.

We don’t have any other options to not play Salah. He’s been poor but the other 4 top have been too. Salah has proved what he can do we need to sign a world class striker and left winger for him to play with.

It finally looks like the players have lost belief. Atalanta completely outthought us tactically, their press not allowing us easy passes into our midfielders. I so wanted Mac to be moved up to 8, as he is creative around the box, but that didn't happen either. Should have just started Trent as 6, and Mac as 8. Szoboszlai has tailed off so much. These games are not the ones I would start Jones in, Elliott would have been a much better shout.
Just very sad, Klopp's tenure is ending so poorly. Playing like the team he inherited instead of the team he created.

{Ed025's Note - Elliot should have started for me as well TKA..

We wouldn’t beat Everton on this form ed.

{Ed025's Note - thats stretching it a bit mark mate.. :)

Elliott brings effort and energy. Jones is a Klopp favorite and is a safe pair of hands but offers little going forwards for me.

{Ed025's Note - I’m with you RF..

Just not good enough, damage done in the 1st leg, have over achieved this season but we have had a great ride on the strength of it, outside chance of the league but if we keep persisting with this slow build up possession rubbish tactics we will be lucky to win half our remaining games. Atalanta to their credit never really looked in trouble big strong solid outfit full of energy something our team is lacking after a long and hard season but the thought of winning a 20 league title should be enough to drive these players on sadly I think we have run out of steam.

When you watch the videos of training you can see there's a few cliques in the team and the players live in a bubble, there's just too much familiarity, too much same old training, klopp built an empire but tried to hang onto it by not rebuilding the team, i genuinly thought keegan could not be replaced but king kenny was better. Tell me is Diaz better than Mane? Is slobbo better than dare i say it Hendo is Endo better than Wjinaldum, love him for his desire but if Nunez could finish like Origi then he would be a worthy replacement for Mo. Sadly tonights performance was a rinse and repeat formula from a manager to a team that's nowhere near the team he thinks they are Atalanta won that easily.

I can take being beaten or knocked out that's part and parcel of the game. But what I can't take is playing the same way for 90 minutes when it clearly wasn't working. What I can't take is players looking disinterested and not trying. Maybe it is time for Klopp to go because his change in tactics has brought this on us. Woeful stuff.
