    From the BBC live commentary
    Michael Antonio produces a quality low finish past Loris Karius after galloping on to Michael Antonio's pass through the middle.
    Can't wait to see that on MotD

    Burnley one up

    Southampton losing now thankfully

    Jao Mario isn’t a very good midfielder and not a very good attacker. He links play up nicely, but we can’t have luxury like that away to Liveroool.

    We are getting ripped to shreds now.

    4-1

    And this is why we need our rivals to drop points at every opportunity.
  • LukerzLukerz
    Yeah quite worried about this.

    We’ve got almost a full strength team.

    Unfortunately we don't have any other fit CMs. Which is why January was so poor, IMO.

    First half was ok but this second half has been pretty bad.
  • thornburyironthornburyiron
    5 or 6 on the cards here. We are in a definite relegation fight

    We’re playing Liverpool away who smashed Man City and who are about to go second? I’d be worried if it was Swansea or Burnley doing this to us.

    This capitulation is exactly what happened with us under Bilic so many times
  • alderzalderz
    14th time Liverpool have scored three or more times in a match this season, over 100 goals already this season. I'm not surprised they've got a bunch against us, and, whilst I'm always concerned by a big loss, I'm not overly worried by this.

    If we follow this up with a loss to Swansea then yeah, I'll be worried, but not yet.
  • thornburyironthornburyiron
    This has been a very very easy ride for Liverpool. We have some very tough games coming up and we can't afford to lose more than a couple of them.
  • thornburyironthornburyiron
    Alderz it's twice against us.
  • LukerzLukerz
    I think when you pick such a defensive side - 5 defenders and 5 midfielders - you have to be gutted to be at least 4-1 down.
  • OldCastleSwiftOldCastleSwift
    To be fair, Thorn, we can probably afford to lose seven of the last ten, so long as we win the other three.

    Obviously I'd rather we didn't, but Swansea, Southampton and Stoke are the games we really have to target 9 points from.
  • alderzalderz
    Lukerz I think it's a bit misleading to suggest it was a 5-5 formation.

    Mario and Lanzini are attacking midfielders, and Arnie has been playing as a centre forward for weeks.

    IMO, this was a 3-4-3 formation, against a team that had all the ball.

    And Burnley because I'm going.

    Obvs
  • thornburyironthornburyiron
    OCS yes agreed IF we beat those three but I don't think we will. We targeted Bournemouth, Brighton, Newcastle and Palace as games we thought were winnable.
    We rarely seem to be able the help ourselves when needed.
  • OldCastleSwiftOldCastleSwift
    Very true Thorn ;ok
  • OldCastleSwiftOldCastleSwift
    Southampton equalise.

    So we're only three points above the drop going into the Swansea game.
  • HamstewHamstew
    Thankfully we had a pretty good training montage to watch in the week

    Yup, Evra scoring a worldie at Rush Green pretty much balances out this defeat ;biggrin
  • LukerzLukerz
    Other results went our way, otherwise it would’ve been worse
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    Well I didn't really expect or even hope for anything from this game. I don't think we played badly but were up against a good team in form.

    It's not the first time that they have had a comfortable win and it won't be the last this season.

    Disappointed as always with a loss, but not embarrassed and not worried.

    On to the next one. coyi

    England getting smashed in the rugby ;weep

    That was probably our hardest test of the games that remain (possibly with the Man Citeh game). No surprise we came up short, but there was no lack of effort, some decent passages of play and if we'd cut out the individual errors, we'd have shipped a couple fewer goals.

    I'd imagine we would see Chicarito back next game, with Mario going to the bench.
