Shocking defending. Ben Johnson needs to get much tighter and fight tooth and nail to get a block in there. His anticipation was off, expecting Tsimikas to go down the line but all he did was say “go on, take your time and line up your cross”!!
Moyes always does go negative against the top teams, but in the past an early goal ensures we have to change his game plan and actually become a little more assertive in the game. It sometimes brings us to life.
Really struggling to see what the plan is here. Fornals seem to be doing absolutely nothing. Benrahma has to come on in the second half to at least run at them because we're not threatening at all.
Unpopular opinion: Kehrer is neat and tidy on the ball but I don’t rate him as a defender. Gets beaten far too easily by his attacker. As a defender his primary objective is to prevent the attacker from getting past him or shots on goal… all of the pretty stuff on the ball comes second. He’s definitely good to have in the squad and his versatility is useful but imo if all our centre backs are fully fit and on their game, he’s our 4th best defender when it comes to defending. I’m not just saying that because we’re losing right now either.
I was thinking that at times. I think we need to use him as the extra man to stop Thiago playing. Defending deep is allowing Thiago to just pick it up and ping it around freely
i dont think its bad as people are making it out to be its just no one is picking up second balls its literally all falling to Liverpool and our players seem to be 3 seconds behind mentally on reacting.

Why don't we just shoot in front of goal?
Rice is having another really good game.
Set up defensive you get what you're asking for
Every team who have troubled Liverpool have been positive
I like the intensity Downes is playing with at times.
