Diallo and Tella were poor. Both should have been subbed at half time IMO. Ralph waited until they scored the second. Not sure either are good enough for the Prem. Moi was non existent in this game and JWP too I should add. So many players failed to show the courage on the ball needed when under pressure or the movement intoi space to help those goys under pressure. Not good at all.

made the FA cup semi final twice in that period, all be it both displays in the semis were not far off what we showed tonight.

Agreed. It was worth going four at the back or pushing those fullbacks high well before the 88th minute.

yep. I guess it worked against City - and fans were happy with that earlier in the season - but when you don't get a result it looks horrible. That Liverpool side were not world beaters. We should have had a go. Depressing considering we were safe and had a free go effectively.

I can understand us surrendering the pitch to their first choice, but when they put that side out surely we should have taken heart and gone for it. That said, when we gave them space they tore us to bits. Everything about us is bad right now...

...and there's the real Lyanco that's been waiting to come out, juggling it over Origi.

tonight is worse.

straight to Redmond, but he was too slow getting onside.

Difficult to flip the switch and suddenly go for it. We made subs but not exactly changed the mentality

I guess that shows why we didn't try to go toe to toe with them. We press and they waltz through it and we are in trouble.

this. I don't often criticise his subs, but absolutely no excuse for no making a sub on the hour or earlier. We did nothing after half time.

Why were those two subs not made at half time? Wait for the opponents to score and then react. Shit management.

fucking shite header.

learned that trick from Forster.

Ho may touches has Moi had do you reckon. Two maybe?

two long throws taken by CBs, both end up with Liverpool breaks and us being stretched as fuck. FFS stop it Ralph.

Look at Diallo for that Jota chance. he just does not mark up. Get him off.

not sure its lacklustre, more nervous and worried about leaving too much space. Maybe we should get after them. Easy to say. They might cut us to ribbons.

You might be right about the need for a formation change, but I disagree more about Tella. he's been poor. Even that crossfield pass was crap and only KWP's pace saved it.

I don't care how much you dislike Mccarthy, Forster aint saving that.

This side compared to the team that came up (and the one under Poch) that went toe to toe with all the big sides. We just don't have players in midfield able to keep the ball.

the formation has limited space for their forwards, which is much needed. I'd be tempted to stick with it, but get Tella and Diallo off. See if Romeu can shift us up the pitch a bit with the better ball retention.

sure, but this Liverpool 11 isn't one of the top teams in world football.

he cant control the ball either. I am starting to think he simply isn't good enough and isn't going to `make it' at this level. He was shockingly bad against Palace. No better here.

like a league 1 side playing them in the cup and hoping for a set piece goal. Show some fuckign bollocks chaps. Get on the ball
