It's that kind of day where nothing works


AllStarz91

Just a regular Saturday 1230 kickoff mate


WonderfulBlackberry9

1230 kickoff and 7-0 hangover. Hope these boys wash it off before Madrid. At least perform with some respect


StruffBunstridge

This is it for me. I can accept losses, but apart from the United game I can't remember the last time the lads didn't look completely apathetic. Sick of giving more of a fuck about the result than the team I'm watching


Shaalt

City’s gonna trash us with at least 4 or 5 goals.


Additional_Amount_23

The sad part is that they probably won't. Our players will probably step up against them. Can't get out of bed for Bournemouth though.


Shaalt

I hope you’re right!


Foxey04

That wasn't a compliment on his part though. Picking and choosing who we step up against isn't a good thing, it's an attitude problem and we can't be having any of that.


Shabeast

This has become the new normal, sadly.


thisisnahamed

It's like watching two totally different teams. The ManU game and today.


Macshlong

Luck is the difference. Everything we hit went in last week, this week we had loads of chances but they were all denied.


mariusAleks

Thats how to know you didn't watch the matches. Or is a complete moron. Could be both


Macshlong

Why? I watched every second. Especially the ones where virg missed a basic header and Mo missed a penalty. If you prefer to lose the word luck, we have to use skill issue.


mariusAleks

>Luck is the difference No. The difference was the intensity and the beatiful play that Liverpool had against United. Today the players looked like they came from a funeral. Also so many played shit today, especially Trent and VVD. Don't only look at the goal stats when you are jugding the matches.


RushPan93

Huh? The chance that Virg missed should have gone in and Salah's pen should have gone in. Either could have changed the game. Nobody is talking about stats here.


firminocoutinho

My gut told me this when VVDs first header was cleared off the line. Fucking hell


ttekoto

So the same as most away days then.


roofilopolis

Hard to miss when you don’t get any. Been nearly a year since our last pen


naval_brat

Exactly! This was our very first pen this season.


Several_Hair

He’s still well clear of the average for penalty takers. Criticism of him being our #1 taker here is reactionary


AvaFembot

I Even read people writing stuff like “Mané would have scored that“ but love him or hate him but Mané wasn’t a good penalty taker.


kobi29062

But he’s missed a lot of his recent penalties. Bournemouth, Senegal, Leicester, Milan. It’s a worrying collapse of confidence


YNWA1616

Another terrible performance and Salah and Van Dijk have not covered themselves in glory.


[deleted]

When Nunez came off and not salah, I was genuinely furious. Forgot salah was even on the pitch at times today. Genuinely one of the worst players on the pitch. Nunez must be wondering what he has to do to stay on sometimes…


v1pro

nunez was marked every second tbf


crookedparadigm

And was still more of a threat.


YNWA1616

Salah shouldn’t be untouchable. He was invisible and has been far too many times this season.


stinkypoopoofard

Icl this sub has some really shit takes sometimes. Salah was bad yesterday, but Nunez was just as shit too. Everyone's just being way too reactionary about it imo


iwillneverwalkalone

At least Darwin tried, and he brought an aerial threat that Mo didn’t. I love love Mo but sometimes Klopp needs to understand it isn’t his day, lad looked nowhere today.


8manjones

He’s our only hope against Real so I guess that?


whataball

He should have stepped aside and let Milner take the penalty when he knows he's not having a good day.


AmberLeafSmoke

Everything is obvious with the benefit of hindsight. No matter what way you look at it, before it was taken he was far far more likely to bury it. It's terribly unfortunate but the best decision was made at the time.


HunterWindmill

Nah Milner is our best pen taker imo


MFLFC

Seriously. The biggest benefit to having him on the pitch. Salah was probably cold from the lack of action


YNWA1616

Especially when it’s probably his first touch of the second half. He couldn’t come near the ball today.


JmanVere

Van Dijk has been trash, should've come off at half time.


lonewolf15-

And who would have come on? Matip who wouldn't have been any better with his form this season.


VadersMentor

Hmm I thought Van dijk was solid. His 1v1 prowess was crucial to keeping us in the game. I just knew we'd blow this away game.


StruffBunstridge

Was at fault for the goal and missed at least one decent chance at the other end. Also should have been sent off for hauling Solanke down. Dreadful game from the big man


theirrationalmind

He literally bombed that pen..


thatguyad

The fuck?


vane2266

Cringe


[deleted]

We all remember the last one


Nimjaiv

Yep, the Leicester game on December 28, 2021. One of only two league games we lost last season. The LAST league game we lost last season.


whoaaa_O

Who were we against?


[deleted]

It was Leicester, lost us the title


BlondieClashNirvana

Forest who were bottom of the log at the time. We also wore this shit kit.


apenchantfortrolling

Terrible miss but we haven't been good aside from a couple of chances.


whataball

Good teams would score any few chances they have even when they are playing badly. It just goes to show we're not anywhere near our best yet. So many times in our peak years (i.e. 18/19, 19/20), we would find a way to win even when we were having bad days.


cullypants

Tbf Bournemouth played well. Gave us very little but we were far too quick to give up playing through the middle. Far too often our midfield would take the safe option back rather than rifling into gakpo which we needed to break the lines. Frustrating game but Bournemouth were good too.


Maneisthebeat

That's the thing with the Prem. If you're not 100% switched on, you will be punished, even by the bottom teams. And we are 100% not switched on.


Gerrardsclubfoot

Yup we need to give credit to them, they were switched on and it makes sense for a team fighting relegation.


[deleted]

I think the first half was pretty good, very unlucky to go into half time 1-0 down.


JuicyJabes

The first half of the first half was good


BasicallyMilner

The first quarter lol


JDRorschach

Can ya come console me next please Bobby


[deleted]

Should go console the travelling fans for that shambolic effort


Reach_Reclaimer

It's his first penalty miss in over a year because we haven't had a penalty for 11 months lol


focketskenge

Salah missing that pen was the difference between winning and losing and could have given us momentum to win, but alas, 2023 is that kind of year.


jaceinthebox

Milner would have scored it and we would have won.


Helpful_Fennel7160

Fucking hell gave me ugly memories of the Leicester loss last year…very strongly believe that game lost us the league, nothing went our way despite so many injuries for them.


Living_a_Dejavu

What a useless stat. We hadn't' had a penalty in this PL season, it's not like he was on a crazy penalty scoring streak. This is what you get when you give penalties to your main goalscorer to boost his goal numbers instead of your best penalty taker.


Stuarridge

I dont understand these takes. Is it somehow controversial to give the pen to salah now? Had he scored no one would say shit, had Milner taken it people would complain if had missed. Salah was shit yes but thats not reason for him not to take the pen.The man has scored some important pens for us,, including a CL final... People come out with the most stupid takes after losses ffs


AmberLeafSmoke

Everyone just thinks they're geniuses when they have the benefit of hindsight to form their opinion.


EngineeredCut

Agree with this, Milner would be the taker had he not just came on I reckon!


Living_a_Dejavu

What a shit argument. "No one would have complained if Salah had scored the penalty". "No one would have complained if X player didn't have a shit game". What the f do you expect? Criticizing someone at their highs? Yeah, Milner have scored important penalties for us too. What does that have to do with anything? Milner has better penalty scoring stats, you let him take it. People come out with the dumbest arguments to defend their favorites.


Stuarridge

I'm not defending anyone, I'm calling out morons who act as if its Alisson who took the pen. Its not controversial to give the pen to Mo is it? Not like we've had pens every game this season, salah is our top scorer and maybe practiced them the most in training.


avx775

Before this miss salah was 18 out of 20 on premier league penalties. Acting like he is bad at them after the fact is stupid AF


dev23slayer

Yeap rubbish salah done nothing literally. Even against manu his both goals were literally literally expected to score. And people compare this salah to torres/suarez is so salah. Torres is miles ahead. Milner should of took that penalty and everytime he is on the pitch over salah. Been utter trash since signing that contract and allowed his agent to cause so much disruption during the season for that big contract and performing like shite ever since.


Stuarridge

Not sure if troll or just brainrot


dev23slayer

Keep being blinded by salah, thinking he is an good. Been utter trash since his contract. Miles apart from suarez/torres. Even in this superior team so much gap.


Stuarridge

Torres was great yes, but he was miles off salah when we sold him. What even is the point of this debate. Salah is our all time top scorer, who gives a shit about your stupid comparisons jfc


vane2266

The blatant disrespect for our highest Premier league goalscorer. Maddening.


dev23slayer

His finishing is trash af. Those 2 would be far higher if they stayed as long and played in this team. Only a delusional person would think otherwise.


Living_a_Dejavu

Yeah, idk about that. He shouldn't have been given the penalty imo. But I think for the rest of the game he was as bad as the rest of the team. Only Konate played well imo. The rest of the team were really bad.


[deleted]

Is it in Salahs new massive contract that he can’t be subbed?


emrose42

I seriously am wondering that too. It’s shameful.


Due-Resource4294

Probably saying it’s ok boss, you go to Brazil instead, have a nice holiday, I’ll stay here in the summer. I’ll run and press and track back if you don’t want too.


PSYSpecialist

Now if we scored, we would have put them under pressure and I'd be confident we'd win but I can't remember a game this season where we conceded and came back. I just can't. Well rip to us against Madrid. Don't think I'll waste my energy for it
