Liverpool was just a step too far for Jordanball. Losing to a side with Salah, Thiago, Trent, Robertson, Henderson, Allison in it - even if it is weakened - isn’t going to define the season.
It's not, but we really haven't done ourselves any justice tonight. I know it's Liverpool, but we've been so conservative. Like the West Ham of old, dare I say
We have, but honestly I think that the way Klopp set them up with 4 in a diamond to control possession has just snookered us. It’s also a compliment that they’ve changed their tactic for us. Obviously I’m gutted with this performance - more than the result tbh - but if we bounce back and perform well against Villa then I’ll be happy.
2nd best against a 2nd string Liverpool... is what it is... still at least we are having a well above average season and not in a relegation fight. This might be a wake up call and put things into perspective...

Let's hope no-one else cottons on to that tactic. Not sure we have the midfield options to adapt our formation.
0-3. I said at half time it was Liverpool’s for the taking but Lukerz thought I was being negative. We’ve never really been in this game with any chance of winning it.
Terrible performance. I think the subs we made show how thin our squad is.
Agreed. If Odubeko can't get minutes in a dead rubber then it's clear Moyes isn't planning on playing him. Fredericks and Noble on when we're chasing a game is pretty depressing.
So cross we didn't give their centre backs anything to deal with. Such a tepid performance in a game we had no excuse not to attack.
I think that score is fair reflection of the game, clearly not at the races but we had a few half chances and moments, was always going to be difficult against the champions and one of the best teams out there
Well beaten today by a better team with better players and tactics. We never really tested Liverpool back line. It shows the huge gulf in class and puts our European football aspirations in perspective. Wednesday's game against Villa is also a tough one.

Neither have had a good game, makes sense to save them as this game looks beyond us
Liverpool just too good for us today
Not too worried
Can't remember last time we've been beaten this badly
We’ve never really been in this game with any chance of winning it.
We've been very bad.
COMEBACK IS ON
Cue the comeback
