I love this team, I love Klopp but jesus christ can we not just sometimes play the ball around the back for 5 minutes to take the sting out of games. I think the only season where we looked like a composed football team was title/champions league seasons.

I'm growing frustrated at always being involved in entertaining games which just end up as more dropped points.

Chelsea on Sunday just a glaring example as you will ever see, as soon as we went 2 up my waters just told me that we will trow the game somehow, I knew from the very second that when Milner tried to foul not once but twice in a daft area 5 minutes before half time we were in trouble.

I agree it’s organisation by the coaches and importantly organisation on the field maybe our players are too nice. We need a few big personalities

I just think our midfielders are not good enough at getting and holding the ball. Itīs why we lose the ball so quickly.

our midfield is there to close down, press and cover the fullbacks. we probably need to change to a more ball playing midfield especially since the defending and the high line is killing us this season.

Fabinho and Virgil have dropped down levels in games, alison has too many dodgy moments ... hopefully they can find their levels for the champs league and we try to win that... Tho i think we need to rethink our high line now

Our high line is just Killing us, specially on TAA's side, we don't seem to know how to play otherwise. VVD looks lazy, yes he is an expert at reading games, but he should also put some energy in his game Alisson as well is not having the best of himself. With our owners not spending, Klopp has no pressure to win anything except his self made pressure. Thus I don't really care, if we win great, if not, then so be it, those owners don't deserve this club

i separate owners from the job of the manager. it matters of course, transfers etc but klopp chooses the style and we are not at our best.

We continue to play destructive high octane football even when we are 2 nil up. We could of just set back with 2 banks of 4 behind the ball and see out the half against Chelsea but we just continued to give the ball away which is frustrating.

Disagree, I think our midfielders are good enough to hold onto the ball if instructed to play like that. It's just whether they should be clever enough to take some initiative and make that decision by themselves from time to time if it's not coming from the coaches.

Exactly this, why at 2 - nil away at Chelsea with 5 mins to go till half time are we still playing like we are 2 nil down, this is what drives me round the bend.
