We dominated play, missed opportunities that on another day go in and made one error defensively that on another day does not fall kindly for their player. You play that match 10 times and nine times out of ten Liverpool win. Get a grip people!
After a nineteen game unbeaten run we were due a loss and since we dominated the match more a question of bad luck than bad strategy.
There's a stat doing the rounds which states that in games where we've totally dominated the ball we've only managed 2 wins, so in other words if you want at least a draw out of us just let us have the ball, we don't know what to do with it.
It's alright saying get a grip Kaz but it's obvious that we have an issue when it comes to breaking teams down who sit deep. The issue was there when we had Phil so it's going to be even worse now.
What shall we do then? Do we need a physcially strong striker, like Ibra, who will plant himself near the opponent's penalty box and yet skillful enough to trap the ball in congested area and score goals? Do we need a target man again like Carol? I hope note. Or do we need a Predatory striker like Owen, who will be waiting, sniffing for an opportunity and is lethal in finishing? Because all of the above involves a significant change in the system and Klopp doesn't seem to want to play with an out and out striker. Non of Salah, Mane, Firmino are lethal finishers. They are skillful attacking players who are good at finishing. But they are not specialist finishers if you know what I mean...
