Allison has been very aggressive the whole game. I think it may be an overreaction to having Kabak on his debut and not trusting him.
syzygyWhat is Klopps excuse going to be this week? Maybe the sun is in their eyes 2nd half? Perhaps the ball color is blending in with some of the boots?
If by "aggressive" you mean "a complete clusterfuck," then yesAllison has been very aggressive the whole game. I think it may be an overreaction to having Kabak on his debut and not trusting him.
mercy ruleNot that it matters but how do we only have 5 minutes of stoppage time? Four goals, a long injury and two VAR reviews.
Occasionally they are true, however the point is to take the pressure (or blame) off the players. Unlike the likes of Mourinho who just rip their own playersWhat is Klopps excuse going to be this week? Maybe the sun is in their eyes 2nd half?

I thought he’d had a solid game up until that point. The error was bad (or no) communication with KabakIf by "aggressive" you mean "a complete clusterfuck," then yes
He just needs to pelt the thing into touch. Keeper has full visibility and I think he accurately sees that Kabak is in a bit of a tough spot. Just doesn’t connect with the ball rightI thought he’d had a solid game up until that point. The error was bad (or no) communication with Kabak

Agreed about Thiago ..too many give aways , too many fouls (an almost penalty), no pace and not creating anything. Mind you, he wasn’t selected to start which seems to suggest Klopp sees that he , at least, needs a rest.The collective meltdown by Liverpool supporters is a sight to see. I'm seeing a bunch of FSG Out / Klopp Out-ers coming out of the woodwork... the only takeaway I had from today is continued frustration at Thiago - his performances and how he's being deployed. He feels like a square peg in a round hole trying to play in Klopp's system where so much is demanded of the midfield, and he doesn't have the pace, work rate, or stamina to do his job.
Other than the diamond midfield deployed a few matches ago against West Ham, I don't see any change in tactics coming that would be conducive to the way Thiago (or Shaqiri for that matter) play. Liverpool are going to miss Wijnaldum a whole lot
This is true .. but they expected to partner him with Fabinho/Henderson/Wijnaldum .. he was a luxury Cadillac signing which isn’t working out.I think we had this conversation when you were linked to him but Thiago never made sense because you don’t ask your midfielders to do what Thiago is best at. It was probably a worthwhile gamble to see if you could add a different option but to me the strange part is not necessarily Thiago but Robertson and TAA. Maybe what they were doing was unsustainable but you typically had the midfielders protecting the space behind the full backs who bombed forward and forced overloads where those two would have time and space to pick a cross and they just kept finding goals. Seems like that entire interchange has mostly broken down this year
What channel is it on? I was looking for it on fuboDortmund and Hoffenheim is a fun match so far. As long as you don’t like quality defending, that is. 1-1 in the 34th minute.
It's got to be better than yet another godawful Palace performance.Wh

I’m more trying to enjoy myself before Jose makes me want to claw my eyes outIt's got to be better than yet another godawful Palace performance.
Burnley had only scored two away goals in their last 9 games. They got two in about 9 minutes today.
Eh you guys are going to beat us 4-1.I’m more trying to enjoy myself before Jose makes me want to claw my eyes out
I’d be shocked at that score line. City have scored more but it’s still not easy and Jose isn’t giving up 4. Son always scores against City so I’m fearful of yet another 1-0 Spurs lead with 9 6 footers behind the ballEh you guys are going to beat us 4-1.
Feels like Lamela needs to be more decisive when he gets the ball to try and play in one of the forwards behind the City backline. I think he's been too conservative, holding on to the ball for too long and allowing City to get defenders back.There is a surprisingly big gap between the City backline and the midfield. When Spurs can break the first line of the press, City are giving them a lot of space to run into.
Gundogan did not cover himself in glory, but it was a clumsy challenge by Hojbjerg and you can't afford to be that awkward when defending in the box.That looked more like Gundogan tripping Hojbjerg than the other way around.
i think Dias has been such a revelation for City because he’s more of a front foot defender who closes this space. It definitely looks different today with Laporte and Stones who seem to be retreating moreThere is a surprisingly big gap between the City backline and the midfield.

Also Lamela is just embarrassingly one-footed for a player of his level. It really limits his ability to be effective playing centrally.Feels like Lamela needs to be more decisive when he gets the ball to try and play in one of the forwards behind the City backline.

There it is!Based on his form this season, Jesus is almost guaranteed to fluff at least one big chance today (now watch him score a hat trick).
He was lucky not to see red or at least yellow for a two footed tackle. Very surprised the only player in the book is Bernardo but the standard of officiating is so so so bad and City cannot complain with a really weak penaltyLamela killed Spurs that half. Sanchez saved their bacon a few times with some superhuman defense.
Not so awesome there.Every time I watch Davinson he’s awesome. I hate him
C’mon now, best team in the league in their best ever form arguably, while missing their two most clinical players. At least get a little arrogantI’d be shocked at that score line. City have scored more but it’s still not easy and Jose isn’t giving up 4. Son always scores against City so I’m fearful of yet another 1-0 Spurs lead with 9 6 footers behind the ball
They’re on a terrible run and did not buy wisely this season and Klopp stuck in a terrible rut tactically - but any LFC fan on a Klopp Out kick is a fool. Who are you going to get in?
