Our midfield is losing it, no one to hold the ball and pass it. Without Thiago and Fabinho and we are a different side, we don’t seem to have a clue. We are really missing Mane’s tenacity. I hope Klopp lights a fire under them, we have to get our season started and this is the time to do it.

We started so slowly that we let them in, allowing them confidence. We have to put this lot away.

They've bypassed our midfield and left our forwards and defenders isolated.

Big 45 mins coming up.

They tired in the last quarter of that half.. let's hope they are still knackered second half.

I think Bobby is becoming a real issue for me. He's been brilliant, but injuries and his age have really took it out of him the last 2 years. He was never a striker, but he's really struggling everytime he plays.

He doesn't look a threat at all and for a striker that's a really big problem. I'd bring on Carvalho and see what he can do.

Let's just say for most of the half we made United look like a title challenger...that says a lot

Looks offside.

Feck me. We look woeful

An obvious offside yet goal was given? I'm done for the day...this is pure shite by Jurgen as well as the officiating

FFS they got tonked 4-0 by Brentford last week and here we are...

That looked offside to me but doesn't matter as we are beat anyway. Hendo, Milner and Bobby are fooking rubbish.

Officials are the least of our worries.

Midfield has been a nightmare.  Firmino having to drop so deep to get a sniff of the ball.  Diaz and Salah having no support.

Fernández just couldn't give a flying F, gets booked and just laughs it off.

Well, this title race is over before it even started. Just horrible this season tbh

That is a bitter bitter pill to swallow

He should have got a second yellow for holding onto the ball after the goal. Ref bottled that.
