    Is a bit odd that a CB wasn't lined up to move in on 1st Jan.

    You can’t say the warning signs haven’t been there. 2020 was an awful year for us, form-wise. It was papered-over so far this season because no one else was playing well either.

    Liverpool's best attacker tonight might have been Origi. At least he managed to create himself some space with the ball.

    Also, "TAA" looks like he needs a spell on the bench. The question is, who do you play instead - Milner?

    There's a malaise all around the league, to be fair. Nobody's done any business because of Covid to freshen it up. You play with who you've got until August at the earliest.

    I see similarities here with what happened to City last year. City had 3 incredible years of winning, winning, winning. It seemed like it burned them out last year and they so obviously suffered.
    Liverpool similarly ramped it up, from CL final, to CL winners with a mammoth points total, to PL winners with a mammoth points total. It's pretty much that same team that started it too.

    Perhaps Klopp should look at coming out of his 4-3-3 and look for something else.

    My memory of that season (particularly the pre-apocalypse bit) is of them winning every game 1-0 somehow.

    They were a better team the year before when they didn't win it.

    Agree with both comments here. The issue being Origi can't finish for toffee.

    KDB is out for 2-4 weeks. Misses West Brom, Sheff Utd and Burnley which is pretty tasty given their styles as well as being a major doubt for us on 7th.

    Mans are gonna be left to cheer on Brendan Rodgers and Jamie Vardy ffs

    He seethes at everything and everyone. Nothing new here.

    Things could go south for us very quickly now. We have the ridiculous pressure of needing to get a goal, plus the aura of invincibility at home has gone up smoke now too.

    Is this what happened to Klopp in his last season at Dortmund?

    Wasn't there always that thing about training people into the ground will only work for so long? I'd expect them to get back on track sooner rather than later though and pull away.

    Yeah, they've become progressively worse to watch as they became progressively better at winning games. Salah's first season being peak entertainment, but a bit shit and the lines have crossed over since.

    Whilst it's not exactly revelatory the difference is Van Dijk. Previously they have been able to play with the confidence that the other team probably won't score, and, additionally, that they probably would. So if it got to 70 mins at 0-0 there was no panic, now there is panic. Van Dijk was also ridiculously dangerous from set pieces which often proved a way to unlock obdurate 'low block' approaches.

    All the doom and gloom is a bit mad though.

    There is no aura of invincibility at home, as there is no advantage to being at home in the current meta. I know it is impossible as a football fan to reprogram your brain to understand that, but it is the case. This Liverpool team is not at all suited to playing the type of sterile training ground shit that has become the new normal. They'll figure it out eventually. This run of shit games usually hits about February, so maybe it has come early as there has been no real let-up in the schedule for, it feels like, years.

    His absence leading to the loss of Fab from midfield as well as the importamce of the lost aerial dominance in making teams unable to release the pressure. It really is all a mark of the lad

    I see that Tomori is off to Milan and could sign for £25m in the summer.

    Wasn't he to be the next big England defender? Did he turn out to be shit, have a wobble and Super Frankie Binman lost faith or did SFB just not really fancy him in the first place?

    Our away record this season is 13th best and our home record is 2nd best. There may have been a swing towards a blurring of home vs away, but it’s absolutely still a thing.

    I rate him but like the majority of young players he makes errors and needs a good run of games, which we are presumably unable to give him due to our current unassailable defensive might.

    Bang on. And the knock on effect of putting 1 or 2 of your best midfielders in defence subsequently makes both your midfield and defence worse.

    Basically, he should have bought a CB on 1st Jan.

    Would also be good to see if Klopp had a back-up formation as it doesn't seem to be the case.

    Just Lampard being a mong. Rudiger was 5th choice centre half and now he’s starting games and chucking goals in. He should have been given game time alongside Silva.

    He was seriously good for Sociedad, that's a great signing.
