I think for me what epitomized this team was albeit from the diminutive Coutinho no other player remonstrated with that c*nt of a keeper's intimidating treatment of Milner, I mean surely the referee should have intervened when Forster was clearly seen verbally goading Milner. The likes of Gerrard would have been all over the referee like a f*cking rash in protestation, there's just no backbone in this team they're all too feeble when it comes to the battle.
As for the rest of the game, I will never understand how a player who when he's included gives us 70 (80 plus if we're extremely unlucky) disjointed hapless minutes in front of goal because he can't do the simple things like trap a ball and find a player with a pass
We had a real opportunity earlier to start the game like our lives depended on it and we played the game at a snail's pace, slow turgid and easily read, Can was awful, Wjinaldum unusually sluggish and Lovren was doing his level best to ensure Matip and Clyne done twice the work cleaning up his brain farts.
Grujic's superb header could have won it for us and having him available at set pieces could have made a huge difference in terms of points this season, also having a pacey and talented player like Woodburn to spin off defenders would have freed up space for our two Brazilians, but no we go with a player who in my opinion has had 4 games too many in a red shirt.
I agree the manager got the line up wrong, but if even 10% of that team showed the same passion as he does on the touchline it would be enough to carry us through, the lack of urgency ifrom those players in that first half was embarrassing and frankly shameful.
