Its become more than evident that Can's keen football brain has an off switch that flicks over into zombie mode when his feet cant be arsed,and it was always on the cards that Lovren would have a game to make Lindeloff look defensively sound and Mignolet would add to his ever growing list of defensive clangers that is now threatening to be longer than one of Klopp's pouts.
Our defense is the proverbial house of cards, only far less rigid,but hey, we all knew this when the window closed and predicted it would come back to bite the manager on the *****,and guess whatIt's done exactly that !
Spudz weren't even that good today and lets face it ,they didn't have to be, as our defense and midfield were seemingly prepared to hand out goals like a f*cking clown gifts balloons.
Plus points ,scant I know ,but as we sift through the wreckage..... we still dominated possession, and Can has provided a definitive answer to that old chestnut should he stay or should he go, and Milner has showed (hopefully )to those clamoring for him to start in our midfield that speed of thought does not compensate for dead legs and finally Mignolet and Lovren now have less chance of getting a start at Huddersfield than the KKK have of electing a black Grand Dragon.
So after hitting rock bottom and suffering a defensive display that was yet again beyond embarrassing at least we have watched the careers of three Liverpool players confirmed and definitively decided by possibly the worst defensive display we have seen since we had Torben Piechnik in our back four ,the only way is up .......SURELY
Good post mate, as bad as Lovren's missed header was if anyone else but Milner was tracking Son then that goal might have been prevented.
We'd actually ridden the early storm and got ourselves back into the game and just before Ali scored I was quietly confident that we would at the very least get a draw out of it, that header from Matip though back into the danger area basically finished the game as a meaningful contest. As bad as Lovrens and Mingolets ***** up's were it was actually Matip's ***** up which cost us the game.
Speaking of Mingolet I thought he should have done much better for the first goal and Ali's shot and as for the free kick...., honestly, how many times over the years have we seen that particular flap? The way he flies through the air like superman with one arm outstretched only to palm it into the path of an opposition player? We must have seen that dozens and dozens of times.
I'd start Ward from now on. He can't be any worse.
Klopps post match is worth seeing mate,the man is inwardly seething and doesn't curb his words,that performance was arguably our nadir so I'm presuming the only way is up now, drop Lovren play Gomez at CB and play Grujic at DM and let Henderson push forward to support the attack but we need a player who will put his foot in mate to give that defense some protection , some fans may not agree but I would gladly give my high teeth for a DM who reads the game as well as Lucas right now.
I agree with Ward being given a chance,because Mignolet has lost the support of 100% of Liverpool fans its not just the usual dissenters.
