KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum FT: West Ham 2 Liverpool 0 - POST MATCH THOUGHTS

Liverpool were turned over 2-0 by West Ham United away from home this afternoon and we'd like to hear what you thought about the match?

Awful all round. Not enough movement or creativity in the final third.

I think we need 1 or 2 players in the window to boost our options from the bench

Klopp picked a side that would lose the ball. Lucas, Ibe, Coutinho, Can, Firmino, Benteke are all either poor distributors of the ball or are the type of player to always take risks on the ball. No one would keep the ball.

Lucas's Liverpool career looks to be coming to a close surely either in January or more likely in the summer. Really poor today just like he was against Newcastle.

Klopp is working with both hands behind his back with brodge squad...

It's time klopp showed his ruthless side and started spending some of the clubs millions on ie

Both bender brothers
And
Lacazette

This month and bring in ie
Stegen
Howedes
Sane
Kroos

In the summer

We can't create chances and when we do we cant finish them Benteke frankly is a liability and we are relying too much on countinho some of the others need to step up to the mark there are too many coasting. Klopp also needs to sit down and reflect this is not working I would get a striker in jan on loan if needs be

What side could he have picked that was any better then?

Did you see the bench? All the other players are injured!

Thank god he rested Lallana today, and replaced Firmino with him, so that we didn't have to endure another full game with those two coasters on the pitch at the same time.

We desperately need a few really good loan players ASAP.

+1

Klopp simply has few options

1. Lucas is definitely past it.
2. Benteke can never be our main striker.
3. Coutinho needs to roll up his sleeves every game. It's not like he's underpaid.
4. This team can finish in the top four when others are being shyte but they certainly are not up to standard if we're thinking of winning anything.

We were outthought, outthought, and outplayed. This squad is the weakest I’ve seen in red, or before that even! Our recruitment policies simply has to change, no more prospects until our first choice players are brought up to top PL quality.
Klopp has to take a share of the blame, as its his job to get the team up for the challenge, and they weren’t up for it today and you can also argue our two previous wins were fortunate and at best unconvincing. There’s also question marks over his selections and tactics and even his substitute’s. Ok he’s new to the PL and he deserves time and we’ll give him time, but it’s worrying, he too needs to step up his game.

Ok, so with the injuries we have what could he have done differently today in terms of selection and subs?
