That was the final straw for me.
We're taking in defeats by the barrel load, frequently going down with barely anything to show for ourselves and this was another to add to that collection. What makes it worse is the fact that this is an opponent we're supposed to be fighting to overhaul in the table and also the fact that it was at Anfield.
The first half was fine, but the second was a total shambles and a repeat of what we've seen too often this season. We seemed to just accept the state of play, rather than busting a gut to keep our lead, or indeed showing them that this was our patch and that we're the side who should be pressing and going for a second. And even if you may argue that their equaliser was a tad fortunate, or that their second was a bit of a wondergoal, we knew there was going to be a reaction in the second half, and we know they're very dangerous in and around the box. We should have been controlling, pressing and dominating play from the beginning of the second half, not 'attempting' to after they'd gone 2-1 ahead. When they did, we had all of 30+ minutes to do something about it and the response was frankly embarrassing. We looked lost, without composure, confidence or cohesion and I think we could do with a change.
will bring in a dud.
