Didn't know Thiago is match fit?

How did we NOT score?

Starting to feel like one of those games when nothing will go in for us...

0-0 not as bad as the West Brom display annd could have won this comfortably, but wasteful and not clinical in front of goal cost us

All these draws are gonna come back and cost us in Spring

We are still top even if United win their game in hand so let’s keep everything in perspective but it does have to be said our away form is not the away form of champions.

That was an utter shyte performance again tonight. Throwing away this league with inept performances.
I excused Jones in the last game, he should have been subbed off after 15 mins tonight. Milner? Contributed nothing. Mo needs a good kick up the hole for himself. Phillips can't pass a ball and the passes he does make has the receiving player going backwards.
Klopp got his team selection wrong tonight, 100%

Bollox fek sakes, why do I get a bad feeling about this.
These draws are going to bite us in the rear.

Only thing to be positive about is we are 15 games in. Had it been 27/28 I'd be worried.

Take a look at the fixture list. If We've fooked this season up, we've only ourselves to blame. A lot of very tough games coming up and we're nowhere near the form we need to be in

One plus point, Thiago is back and looks good. I can see him starting against Southampton in 5 days time.

Hopefully we sign a new defender, because these young lads don't look like they'll make it at this level.

Yup tough fixtures indeed and if we don't get out sh1t together we can say bye bye to no.20 and hand it to someone else.

We've got the 2nd most draws (6) in the league so far, only Brighton have more (7).

Nothing much to say except we are going to regret these draws if we don't get a string of 4-5 wins together in the next month.

What's worse is we have handed the initiative to the Mancs no less they have every reason to be fired up for their next game rather than being despondent that we were 5 points ahead....absolutely  gobsmacked that Milner /Hendo and Curtis started a must win game as the MF trio- we needed creativity and/or long range capability.

Why not play Thiago for the first half along with Hendo and Gini to get the game wrapped up or at least have a lead to defend? Ox and Curtis in the second half would have been an option.

He did look good in that cameo. I think I'd start him from now on and give Jones the last few mins of games. Milner in reserve for defensive injuries

I've been worried since the injuries to all the center backs..but that's not been the problem. The big problem is the front 3 turning up 1 in every 3 games. I think when Jota was fit it put immense pressure on them to perform every game, but since he got injured they have looked very laboured.

I'd be tempted to play Shaqiri, Ox and Thiago from the start in the next game and try and freshen things up.

There's something deffo not right with a few players at the moment. Gini and his head elsewhere. Mo actin' the maggot with his comments. Sadio pouting.
I agree that Jota being injured takes the pressure off the others and Origi/Minamino aren't natural replacements.
There's a lot of complacency set in I think.
And one of my biggest gripes is that I don't ever see Hendo ripping into his teammates when they're sloppy.
I had the same gripe with Stevie G - way too passive for a captain.
