    Terry and Carvalho conceded 15 goals in 2004/05 with 7 being penalties. Can’t believe Van Dijk has ever been compared to the former

    We've lost to 2nd in the league. So, not too bad really.

    I can only assume that Liverpool's high line is some sort of long form gambit to get everyone else to adopt it as a way of playing (and then ruthlessly exploit it with pace over the top), much in the same way that Pepball has basically broken football by destroying the received wisdom on not being a dick with the ball in your own penalty area.

    That was a funny game though. Football is broken, and flicking between it and the NFL, not just our type of football it seems.

    Just caught up with today's goals. That fucking head tennis for the Spurs equaliser is a fucking car crash. I love the quick thinking for their second. Liverpool's first was a gift but Adrian couldn't do much with 3 of them. Still, shocking stuff from a side that are usually better at getting back. I hope Martial's red gets overturned because that was some bullshit. Lamela swinging his arm is a dismissal and Tony's response is nowt.

    It was clearly Adrian.

    I'd rather resign Andy Lonergan and put him in.

    The ridiculous high line needs to do one. How many teams have to play inside Trent and Brain Dead with great success for this to be noticed?

    The point is to harass the passer doing so that it’s a easy recovery far from goal. If it doesn’t happen, that happens.

    Because it's funny.

    And because the player receiving the ball wasn't offside (assuming the 4th was the freekick?)

    Yeah, Mings didn't get close enough to it to really be interfering (not that I think you can be in that situation without touching it). Runners from deep (and second balls at set pieces) have long been an issue for Liverpool under Klopp but they seemed to have dialed it up to 11 this season with the line they are holding. In the VAR age I'm not really sure what they are hoping to achieve, the flag never goes up.

    Hopefully Villa's approach to the game will serve as an example to others. On another day it could have gone the other way (Villa's 'keeping fuck-up being punished, Firmino being able to finish etc) but surely it's better to die trying rather than serve up the sort of meek surrender wank Chelsea and Arsenal rolled out against Liverpool in their two previous games.

    The greatest defender that ever lived conceding 7 must put a dent in the narrative. Probably something to do with Gomez.

    Gomez was pretty poor. He's always had a bit of misjudgment in him, but since things got back under way post-lockdown it seems to be much more of an issue. I don't know if it actually goes back to that spat he had with Sterling whenever that was. If Matip can ever be fit again I think he'll be first choice alongside Van Dijk.

    Well, no one's going to be looking great in that type of performance, it was a fairly shit effort across the board but I think I'd give Van Dijk the benefit of the doubt and stick with him going forward.

    Makes the Everton game fascinating now. Every ounce of Ancelotti's being will urge him to go down the tried and trusted sit and frustrate approach he's successfully employed with Napoli (and Everton) against Liverpool before, but surely, and this is becoming a bit of a recurring theme, but this is the time to go for it? How many times have they not had a better chance to beat Liverpool? It seems that one gets rolled out every year for the Goodison fixture.

    It's a little too early to say much about this but it's always felt a bit like at some point the Liverpool team just has to get a bit tired from it all. So many games, such high energy.

    The caffeine has worn off.

    They threw in a worse performance against Watford last season, so it's not like it's entirely unheard of. The somewhat freakish nature of the scoreline just makes it seem worse.

    Everyone decided to have their worst game in a Liverpool shirt at once really.

    Adrian setting the tone early didn't help, but Van Dijk, Gomez and Trent were shite. Robertson didn't do too much wrong comparatively. The midfield offered nothing. Same with Firmino, who really doesn't look right in the side at the moment. Salah maybe the only one to come out of that with any kind of dignity intact.

    3 deflected goals doesn't help anyone, but the defending on the others was god awful, especially that free kick. They're all just jogging as the Villa players queue at the back post to put it in.

    It happened with Pochettino at Spurs. There's only so long the same message can be sent to the same group of players. Eventually the enthusiasm wanes, and when your game relies so heavily on pressing that is a major problem.

    Far too early to say anything or to even react tbh especially when you've just had over two years with barely a defeat in sight. The wheels aren't coming off in any way shape or form, we were just very poor and Villa were very good (aided by deflections) but nothing to worry about in my mind.

    Less so when that message is winning you the games biggest prizes and Poch's biggest problem was the lack of investment to build on what he'd done, we've just grabbed Jota and the Bayern fella. If we can get a keeper before the window closes then we'll be fine. The kneejerk reactions is funny. We'll go and slap Everton then all will be back to normal.

    They did it for 'cost cutting reasons'. How much can the fucker earn? He must be on about 3 minutes of Ozils wage a year.

    I know on-field and off-field staff are prioritised differently, but that can't make any discernable difference to anything.

    We signed him onto a bumper contract the year RvP left. He'd received a big money offer from Qatar to be the 2022 mascot and the fanbase couldn't take 2 such losses in one year.

    You could have got Boiler Man with the proceeds and still had enough left over for the rights to Sandstorm at halftime.

    Valid point. Didn't this happen with Klopp's Dortmund...

    Also, surely motivation and enthusiasm from the players is going to be less once you've won the title. Harder to retain a title for this reason.

    And most of them (other than Lewandowski, who didn't have to press so much) went on to flop or at least mildly disappoint.
