Robertson looks like a really tidy signing. Should've already had 2 assists but for lack of sharpness from Mane and Matip.

We got no creativityvat all. With Coutinho absent, the burden of creativity goes to firmino and Mane.But I'm afraid they cant re-create their effectiveness when Coutinho is out. At times Firmino seems too slow and ge doesn't seem to know what to do with the ball at his feet!

Our midfield just lacks any sort of intelligence or engine. The fact that Firmino has to drop back to get the back from the midfield says it all. Surely there are players other than Keita who'd be an upgrade on what we have.

Only listening to it on the radio but it sounds like we are completely dominating the game and should really be at least one up.

Tactics are plain and simple terrible..The combo of 3 unimaginative slow donkeys is killing us...Without Coutinho and Lallana The only solution is getting Salah on for either of the 3 and dropping Firmino to a deeper central role.

Let's not forget Lallana. Both of our creative sources in the midfield are unavailable and that's hurting us big time. But it's deserved.

We've been brainless in the market, and Utd are flying. I'm fretting this season.

We need to take it up a few gears in the 2nd half. common lads.

Absolutely criminal that the 2 times we've had CL football in the last 5 years and we've completely failed to get the squad to a level to comete

Have we missed 2 absolute sitters from inside the 6 yard box or is the radio exaggerating our dominance?

With the current squad we probably more suited to the Europa league. We won't go far in the champs league.

yes we did..2 super crosses by Robertson wasted by Matip and Mane

Get Milner off the fcking pitch what's wrong with Klopp???

This Palace team got Demolished by Huddersfield and we are unable to pass 1 through so far...

Robertson looks good, but thats pretty much the only positive thing I can say about this match so far.

Graveyard atmosphere...depressing...Nothing changed an ounce..Hendo..Milner..Yes fcking Coutinho but really this summer should have been totally different
