He's been uncomfortable answering questions about Sturridge for a while. He won't adapt his tactics to the players available -even for the likes of Sturridge.
His tactics tonight were so negative and ineffective.
We were outdone by Dortmund last round - the only reason we won that game was because Dortmund refused to sit back and see the game out. So we weren't outdone by them then? No I thought Villareal would have played better. Because of our negativity, we never looked like breaking down an organised Villareal side. It was all our own doing.

We were outdone by Dortmund last round - the only reason we won that game was because Dortmund refused to sit back and see the game out. while i agree to a large extent that his tactics were 'ineffective and negative' despite both sides ending up with 3 on target each. lucas and allen were able to play well, lfc made 25 interceptions to villarreal's 14. You try fitting sturridge into this side perfectly well, if he's not isolated, remember Augsburg away? even man utd at home he had a penalty, and a chance from a smalling mistake, not much to go at. It's hard to fit such a player into a side when the team itself still needs to make improvements with possession football. we had 54% last night, we only got firmino in a scoring position once in the second half, as for coutinho not at all - I think we should be more direct second leg, if we can. I thought Villareal were defending deep which allowed our midfield to take the ball quite far up the pitch so I don't think Sturridge would have been isolated. If we were going to play countless crosses into the box like we did we should have had at least Sturridge or Benteke on the pitch.

His tactics was not to concede and play a pressing game even if you are a centre forward. Not sure if Sturridge likes that and I don't know why this should be changed for Sturridge if the latter doesn't want to work hard. Sturridge's body I don't think copes well with lots of intense running. Don't change it and we lose 1-0 and we never had a proper attacking threat all night.

Well, considering you had us losing 3-0 on the other thread - Klopp did better than you thought. Way too much hyperbole on here tonight. I was annoyed by the injury time goal - but a draw would have been fair. No Klopp and Liverpool actually did worse than I thought. I thought Villareal would have played better.

These type of silly comments are why you get so much stick on here. You are happy to criticise Klopp's tactics when we lose and then point blank refuse to give him any credit for a quite brilliant win against Dortmund, for which his substitutions made a big difference for us. For the record his tactics annoyed me last night and I think we missed an opportunity by not scoring an away goal, however your agenda against him is just plain stupid and holds no weight at all.

Maybe he ran too much against Newcastle then, what kind of professional football player cannot have intense running, shouldn't he be converting to golf? Let's face it, I can't remember a worse LFC squad and Allen's shot at the beginning of the game shows it all.

What if Villareal couldn't play because of what you call our negative tactics, is that possible? Getting to the semi final with that squad is a miracle, with Rogers we would have been out after the first round.

Went over the stands. How is that even possible? And Lallana's poor effort (playing with his shoes on the wrong foot maybe?). Sliced it wide from 10 yards out. Horrific shooting from Uncle Brendan's favourite player.
