The women are now muscling in with their ‘feminism’! That’s not me being sexist by the way, just their approach through the national media.

The one singing defensive-wise that has come up trumps for us is Joel Matip. What I simply struggle to comprehend with is signing somebody who you’d think would be either ahead in the pecking order or a complete replacement for the future is sat waiting on the sidelines: Karius, Robertson.

And one of the worst parts of this is lack of resources (as mentioned in and around my previous reply) when you have your main right-back with a back injury.

Is this all completely down to Jurgen Klopp and does he really have such great control over decisions made and actions taken on the pitch?

You could argue for maybe one or two, even 3, but for an entire defensive unit and a keeper with a variable of vulnerability attached to their skills-set cannot be justified and simply isn’t viable to make serious progress (albeit top 4 last season).

Klopp has remain with players that are not even his players as far as the defence goes, and as rightly mentioned, has tried to counteract this with his attacking philosophy. When you have no real striker (I have never considered Firmino in my view as one), and when you’re short of key ammunition like Sadio and Adam Lallana, then you’re just making life more comfortable for the opposition.

It’s funny how I looked at Jose’s back 4, and practically for example, the defence he inherited remain the same, albeit Eric Bailey and one new guy signed; the likes of Phil Jones, Chris Smalling and Daily Blind play, and yet, they have a howler in them. David De Gea though has always been first class. Simon Mignolet hasn’t. A parallel of a comparison is that Jose naturally is more defensive and bought Matic to guard the defence.

If we do stick with Klopp, maybe the arrival of Kieta might bring us something we’ve lacked, but our organisation when it comes to addressing what we need and contingencies are feeble. Nathanial has carried a back injury for ages, and yet we rely on an inexperienced youngster.

JK can’t get any different mileage out of Brendan’s stock with individuals like Mignolet, Lovren and Moreno, because we can’t remain focused over the course of 90 mins, and plus, we just struggle consistently with set pieces, ariel threats and second balls.

Leicester – Man City potentially a cracker!

I had a brief look at this the other day as a notable statistic of form and in relation to the Prem, the last time we had won 3 League games on the bounce was around December of last year.

On this form, there is no way in the world we’ll make top 4, because United for instance have improved. Tottenham and Man City are dead certs in my eye, so that would leave Arsenal and Chelsea to take a dip.

I don’t really see any other outsider threatening the big-boys so the opportunity is there, but we’re the master of our own downfall and effectively screwing this up.

This is why frustration continues to boil.

Another year and season written off then. So effectively, I’m wasting my time and Our Owners are Gold Top.

What’s seriously the point of all this when everything in enjoyment is just filtered week in week out through the funnel of one or two clubs?

No sincere comfort for the rest of us.

We missing individuals best suited to the Gengenpressing, otherwise, I’ve never really noticed that much of a difference to what has been exhibited (compared to the type of football Liverpool are accustomed to deliver). For example: You need Mane as a finisher and the creativity of Adam Lallana.

It’s an absolute fair assessment from posters on Klopp placing emphasis solely on attack and forming no protection whatsoever. That aspect I would be critical of.

However, I do like him as a person and generally as a Manager and that’s why I felt for him, not to mention the point of things just not going for us, i.e. losing 2 cup finals.

I do feel the transfer windows have been challenging from a recruitment point of view, but from a shipping out point of view, we have cleared a lot of excess. What hasn’t changed though is certain personnel remaining with us like Lovren and Mignolet and this is what supporters quite frankly are fed up of and subsequently redundant because these drums have been banged over and over again.

All good replies and resonate with each and every one. He’s been a great fit as a person and how well he’s liked by our own supporters, but I can see why Jason Cundy for example calls him ‘Brendan Klopp’.

If you persist with a combination of Mignolet, Lovren and Moreno, you’re simply kidding yourself with their tract records.

I would genuinely be sad to see Klopp leave Liverpool should a change be made.

Everton have important fixtures coming up and really can’t afford to lose them. Not surprised.

Meanwhile, Garth Crooks has suggested Ancelotti as Liverpool new boss should Klopp be fired. Although we are sitting pretty in Europe, Liverpool ultimately should be challenging for the league title because we finished 4th last season, and trophyless too.

The frustration lies ultimately by certain individual players:

Moreno will always be problematic because of his nature. He simply just doesn’t want to take any responsibility defending. Fairenough. I’d love him to strive all day tooth and nail to go forward, but essentially, we’re left with a deficiency.

Moreno leaves gaps on the line itself of the pitch and then the playing surface just outside the 6 yard area. Opposition teams one way or another will suss this and exploit this. They won’t remotely care about Moreno as long as they find a pathway, that leads to Goalmouth. Tottenham deservedly exploited that and credit to them.

Out fault. It kills me to say, but this is the harsh reality.

Essentially, you need a quality of individuals to occupy ALL defensive positions. Otherwise, in this league, any opposition whether it’s Tottenham Hotspur or Watford, will EAT you ALIVE.

I personally got sucked right in from Tuesday Night. What a fool I am, outright.

What is the point in the purchase of Andy Robertson? And if there was that much doubt, then reinstall James Milner.

Little Phillipe will play his heart for us all day long as long as he remains an LFC player. Ultimately however, it’s Snakes and Ladders and as far as we’re concerned, 1
Ladder up and 3 Snakes down. My fear at this moment in time is the Manager wrongly being the fall of the axe. That really cannot be.

Why on earth did Mignolet galavant for the first goal?

The second from him was typical surrender.

Our owners should be put to great shame. 2017 and Liverpool Football Club already out of the League Cup, should be ashamed of themselves.

80/1.

No pride, no self-respect.

Thankyou Nine, very much appreciated.

At the moment, until even seeing the highlights, I can’t grasp hold of the overall picture.

What I do know is that we were exposed clearly from the left flank, and we paid a heavy price.

Surely, none of us are blind to recognise and acknowledge Moreno being a common denominator.

The problem lies with repetition time to time and mistakes simply not overturned once and for all for the better.

Actually just come back from a work presentation in which I received a bit of recognition for my efforts and was unaware of what went on from listening to the radio and leaving it after Salah pulled one back for us. So I’m not in the ‘mode’ of being downbeat and depressed.

I’ll take this opportunity to congrat my Tottenham pal Chucky on here and fellow Spurs fans.

All I can say is if we going to continue playing Moreno and a half-injured played, you’ve effectively surrendered, or are burying your head in the sand and ignoring the problem or playing with 9/10 men.

That can’t be afforded against a genuine quality outfit with a Top Class English striker and a team that has come close to winning the PL title at least once in recent seasons.

We are the master of our downfall and the buck stops with us. Whether or not the Manager is to blame for selection of players or whether that reaches right the way through to the owners. But it’s a crucial talking point because as it stands even with only 9 games played, Liverpool are more closer to being relegated than winning the title.

Didn’t realise Wijn was injured altogether, thus, Milner brought in place.

I think Koeman’s a goner now.

This is absolutely bizzare given the financial clout they now have along with the players bought in the summer. One of which involving a highly rated Jordan Pickford. He’s conceded 5 goals today.

You’d think at the start of the season, they’d be knocking on the door for 4th place. Instead, it’s completely up-side-down and now find themselves in the bottom 3.
