With the TV money that is pouring into the league, midtable and lower placed are able to build decent squads that will give the top teams a run for their money. In the face of that, sometimes you have to be prepared to graft out wins and today was a case of not being upto the task when it came to rolling up sleeves. Also you simply can't gift goals like we did today.
I don't think we have been particularly great so far season but looked reasonably solid as a unit up until todays game but today was a shambles which had left me very flat.

As it is, none of the above apply ,its like the current incumbent seems intent on carrying around a candle snuffer for every flicker of hope we spark ,the substitutions defied any logic so its an exercise in futility dissecting them . I said in this thread I was weary of this game as I had flashbacks to how easily a manger like Billic found it going up against a manager who fails to understand the concept of having a game plan.
James Pearce stated in the other nights echo that the manager is slowly regaining the trust of the fans ,well he needs to get his fucking running shoes on sharpish if he's going to convince them, as most of them left . In all my time at Anfield I have never left early ,and I never will ,but what was unusual was the response to them leaving was not as raucous as it once was ,because no one inside Anfield could have fucking blamed them.

Not been a massive fan of your posts of late (no offence), but that was an excellent post

While, last week, Liverpool were decent against Arsenal, they were fortunate against Stoke and Bournemouth. 3-0 down to a team that hasn't beaten a Liverpool side in donkey's just confirms that this team is thrown together.
Everyone today was absolute shite. There were a few flashes of meh, but by and large that was awful.
This team is very, very weak.
