If you've watched Liverpool at all this season you'll know it is a massive part of the problem. It's the reason we didn't beat Watford, Sevilla, Burnley and Newcastle today.

People just don't listen...these owners are only keeping us ticking over,, their aim is to put as little of their own money in and take as much as they can out...they don't even bother coming over to watch...

The Premier League is a dead competition for us as us as a Football Club we won't win it and won't get relegated...we just exist, all these people wanting top four...for what? What do us as fans actualy get out of it...we just make up the numbers and fans swallow the top four rhetoric rolled out by pundits and managers being the be all and end all....

Yes I like to win the domestic cups....guess what am selfish...I want to see us win a trophy..day out at Wembley and an open top bus around the city and gues what...John Henry and FSG don't make hardly any money from winning them....quality

It is what needs sorting as a priority. We score goals, not as many as we should, but couldn't keep a clean sheet against a pub side. Not buying a decent CB or two in the summer is a huge mistake and will come back to bite us and it's all on Klopp.

Got to agree with that.
Five mins to go Solanke runs near post takes his marker with him. The ball should have been pulled back to the pen spot where somebody should have been waiting for the simple chance.
Yeah not only no defenders no striker.
We need an out and out goalscorer. Could have gone for Defoe. Would have done a job for us.

I'm as frustrated as anyone but i still think this is a bit OTT. We are let down by CB's that aren't at the required level and also the lack of ruthless CF (i also agree that Sturridge showed today that he is no longer at the required level/fitness) but regardless of that we are decent team which at the minute isn't taking the chances we are creating and we're also being punished by every mistake we make e.g. Matip getting back and making the recovery tackle which puts the ball in the net via the forwards shin where as they f*ck up and sturridge and salad miss. You could see today that that has damaged our confidence but its such fine margins but you would hope that will change over the season and we'll compete with Arsenal, Spurs and Chelsea for 3rd and 4th but we need something to go our way, like the ball going in off someones arse or a deflection saving us rather than the ball pinging in the bottom corner.

I don't think we are that far away.

We had a number of easy chances today, and missed them all. The point is that if we could defend we'd have won 1-0 and the missed chances wouldn't have mattered. We shouldn't have to score 3 or 4 every week to win but that's the pressure our attack is under because of our defence.

Couldn't agree more.

I was asking for Klopp to start Sturridge after Firmino had a few bad games but from today's showing it doesn't look like he's any better in the CF role. If we had a Torres this game would have been won, especially the Sturridge chance

Sums it up, apart from that i don't think they had another proper chance. But then surely that means we defended well and they profited from one slack moment which seems to be an ongoing theme at the moment. Is that bad luck, bad defending or combination of both?
