Lets hope history does not repeat

To be fair credit to red star as well

Klopp has to press the re-set button and go back 4 weeks because his current tactics and player selections are poop.

spot on..
klopp is picking players like llalana who are washed up.
Milner is a solid player but he is the senior midfield player now despite his age and lack of pace.
Arnold has become the liability many knew he always has been despite his hype.
Klopps tactics and selections as said above,have left alot to be desired of late.
Salah is out of form and clearly unhappy about something.
A slide has begun....action needed!!

Can we bring back The Brain?

Young Trent is no Liability. His forward runs and passing are good. Just needs coaching and discipline/maturity.

But we seem to have the same problems and conversations every season. Selections and tactics. I was getting really excited when the side was in Top Gear and then the last 3 weeks has seen the side slip back into second gear.

I think we haven't been even close to top gear yet this season.

But we have gone from being attack minded to being defence minded, with a much better keeper than before.

As for the game yesterday I just can't understand how Klopp could rotate Lallana and Matip for that game. Just couldn't see it coming. Sturridge is one thing. He has been good or thereabouts when he has gotten the chance. But the other two? And when it went tits up - why not sub them off at half time? Trent was worth being subbed off. But not Danny! We needed at least two goals and he subbed a striker off and left Lallana on the pitch! Strange to say the very least.

Every game he is out of position and done by the player oposing him.
Yes he will go forward...but cannot defend for toffee.His forward runs now amount to nothing and he does not get back in position quick enough.
All this talk of he needs time etc...well that time should not be in a team hoping to challenge for big things as the challenge will not be forthcoming.

Fair enough.
Individuals aside, Klopp needs to up his game too. He really screwed up on and off the field. Players mind set and drive is his job. Player selection is his job. Tactical setup is his job. And he fooked it all up against Red Star.

What is really disappointing is his reluctance to make any positive and bold changes after 20 minutes, 45 minutes, 60 minutes, not just to players and formation, but to tactics.
Where is the tempo? Where is the pressing and hunting in two's and threes? Where is the hunger to own that football?

Klopp needs to take the shackles off. This isn’t us being found out or that others are used to us. The change of tactics and being more defensive has stifled us.

Stop now with being so defensive. We’re better there now with Allison and VVD. Get Shaq on to play where the Ox did and start hitting teams like we did last season.
