Jambos wanting Neilson out [emoji23][emoji23]

For the amount of money they’ve spent and are spending they should be beating teams in that league but they seem to struggle.

Long long May Robbie be manager at that shambolic club!

They'll probably sneak a win and walk the league still but I'm very, very comfortable with Neilson being their manager.

Hearts obviously have a shorter season but it's reminding me of our promotion season under Lennon. Too many dropped points. Must be quite similar points wise per game.

Liverpool look so disjointed, can't believe this is the team that swept all aside last season, Mane tonight has been awful, touch like an elephant and just seems to runs straight into his opponent, you'd think after their midweek win they'd be more confident but no.

Simply too many key players missing ie defenders and I think they just look physically and mentally tired out. Fast forward to next season for Liverpool I think they will do well to make a Champions League spot via the league.

Too many players injured i'd imagine, and that midfield is poor. Thiago is not good enough for the league in my opinion, and the back 4 without their best central defenders are struggling without the protection of a good midfield.

Think Thiago would look much better if playing alongside Henderson and Fabiano. A lot of similar small technical players in midfield lack physicality

[Keith_M]

Bayern are still on course for 9 in a row.

Sadly the only genuine challenge I can see is from 'Corporate Sponsor Leipzig'


Meanwhile, in Austria, 'Corporate Sponsor Salzburg' are heading for 8 in a row... and 12 out of 15 since 2007

Aye probably, he is slow though, good on the ball but cant get round the pitch quick enough for me.

I understand all that, it just goes to show when you go with a small squad and the backup isn't of a similar level you'll struggle, that 1st eleven has played a huge amount of games over the past season and a half and as you say it's beginning to take it's toll on the players.

Totally agree. He's clearly a talented player but he just slows Liverpool down and has a tendency to go missing for half of the game.. Not a Liverpool player for me. He tackles like Paul Scholes.

They knew how badly they were struggling at the back in the transfer window, and went cheap. They can’t be short of money, they should have went out and sorted the problem. A championship standard centre half from Preston, and a youngish centre half who is completely unproven at this level, were never the right option.

Delighted for the Toffees. It's been a long time coming, which makes it all the sweeter. Just a pity there were no fans inside Anfield to witness it.

I only caught parts of the game but thought Pickford was outstanding.

He's toiled a bit at times the last couple of seasons, particularly with his confidence despite the cocky demeanour. He's been relentlessly hounded by the press though, destroying England goalkeepers seems to be a bit of a hobby for their media in recent years. Hopefully he shut a few of them up tonight.

Quite a lot of penalties are accidents. Tackles that are mistimed or late the intention a lot of the time was to do something different - to win the ball.

You see goalkeepers sliding in and then not really knowing where they are in relation to ball or player. If they’ve ultimately caused the opposing player to get taken down then it is a penalty.

The defender in this case had a bit of time to do something different. He kept that movement going with his leg in the air and he caused the ‘accident’.

[Callum_62]

Souness obviouly said you'd be lucku to find 1 Pro who says that's a pen - he's obviously Liverpool but he's far more impartial than folk like Boyd etc

Lescott who was the Everton side said as a defender he woukd be disappointed to have that against you

To be fair it isn’t as if his bad press hasn’t been justified. Even just last week he chucked another one in. He’s been woeful for a long time with very good moments in between. A goalkeeper at the top level can’t keep making the same mistakes over and over and expect to get away with it though. Nobody is doubting he has ability but he’s only harming himself making basic errors every couple of weeks.

[CloudSquall]

Will be interesting to see how Klopp handles himself in the media if this run continues, he was cracking the jokes left right and centre when everything was rosey, will be good to see him under pressure.

I wouldn't dispute he has made mistakes and much of the criticism has been justified.

Equally though a lot of pundits look for easy targets. I watched MOTD a couple of weeks ago and they were falling overr themselves to blame him for a goal that was never a goalkeeping error in a million years. I think it may have been the game v Newcastle.

I remember Rob Green getting a lot of stick for gesturing at the press box after he had a good game a few years back. They had hounded him for months but he gave a bit back and he was the villain. Joe Hart got it from them, David James got it and even a stalwart like Seaman got it late on in his career. There's that line at which justified criticism becomes scapegoating and I think England goalkeepers quite often see that line crossed.

It was his shot, he then went to follow the shot up and Trent had slid into his path. It’s not for the striker to do a detour around him. He’s tried to hurdle him and was unsuccessful due to a combination of the slide, and then him lifting his foot to compound the trip. He should actually have been sent off but that’s been glossed over completely.

Will be interesting to see how Klopp handles himself in the media if this run continues, he was cracking the jokes left right and centre when everything was rosey, will be good to see him under pressure.

I read this and, unlike his usual upbeat manner and clarity, I found him a bit garbled and unintelligible:

Jürgen Klopp acknowledged Liverpool were not clinical enough in attacking moments after they were beaten 2-0 by Everton at Anfield on Saturday night.

A strike inside the opening three minutes from Richarlison put the Blues in front before the Reds lost Jordan Henderson to injury midway through the first half.

Jordan Henderson injury update
Victory was secured for the visitors in the closing stages, with Gylfi Sigurdsson netting from the penalty spot.

Afterwards, Klopp addressed the media in his post-match press conference. Read on for a summary of what he had to say…

On how much the result hurts...

A lot, a lot. But, we conceded a completely unnecessary first goal and we should not forget that. That's a big part of the game. There were two big parts. You have to defend and we have to score. In one situation we didn't defend well enough, so they could score, we made a mistake if you want. And we didn't use their mistakes or we didn't use the things we created. And that's why we have the result.

On the decision to award Everton a penalty...

I really think it's unfair to ask me because everybody asked me that question. That means everybody thinks it was not a penalty. But that's not really important because the ref thought it's a penalty. I wanted to talk to him now after the first few interviews I had but they left already. I just wanted to ask what did he see because the VAR calls you over in a situation like that, then I think he is in doubt about the decision. But he needed only a second. He went there, watched it from three or four yards, turned and penalty. So he obviously saw something that all other people didn't see. I didn't see it back yet but everybody who speaks to me tells me the same, 'How can it be a penalty?'

On whether he can rationalise losing four games in a row at home or whether it's too big a picture to do so...

Not all the games were the same obviously. [We were] dominant in most of the games if I am right, we lost an away game as well where we were really dominant against Leicester. That means in the decisive moments we make either a mistake or just something strange happens, so that's how it is. If we make a mistake, it's 100 per cent they score from it and if we cause them to make mistakes that doesn't mean immediately we will score. I think everybody who saw the game tonight would say, 'OK, if we watch the game without the goals, how can that happen?' But it happened and not the first time, so we are really critical with ourselves there. How I said, the first goal was our mistake and we don't finish the situations off. It's about us as well, it's not who can we criticise for that, that's clear, we know that. I said it already in other interviews, I don't like to talk tonight about the good parts of the game because we lost the game and we lost the derby. But from tomorrow on we have to use that again, that's how it is, because we cannot change the situation by playing bad, that's not possible. But in decisive moments we have to improve, that's clear.



On how the players are handling this period...

We had some problems, you know them, and again if you saw an attitude problem today on the pitch, for example, then you have to write it. If you didn't see that then you cannot write it. We have to play but we have to force it as well, that's how it is. In the decisive moments, we have to be calmer, that's how it is – like in the finishing situations and I don't mean now the headers from Sadio, which were really tricky with circumstances we had tonight, or the chance from Mo where it was super play with Shaq and Trent when Mo is alone and that's then really difficult because Pickford is in front of him, short distance. But we had other situations where we had really finishing opportunities and we didn't finish the situations off. So, the only way I know is to try it again and again and again, and I don't see any relation to the last three years. That we were champions last year, that was already a month after we were champions, it didn't feel like it was a month ago – that has nothing to do with that. The boys are still full of desire, I see that. But to change a football game, a result, to get the result you have to be decisive in the right moments defensively and offensively – and that's what we are lacking.

On Liverpool's defensive options and how difficult the recurring injuries are…

We have options, of course, but how difficult it makes it… it makes it really difficult. But, for example, Nat was for sure not for one second our problem and even Hendo in the beginning of the game was really dominant, especially offensively. So, yes, it is a massive blow losing Hendo again. Massive. But Nat played a super game. Again, we meanwhile unfortunately got used to it that we have to change things and we just try to set up again for the next game. As long as we have 11 players we will do that.

Same Poch that had 6 wins in 24 league games before leaving? Jose has 10 in the same period. Not good at all but clearly doing better than Pochettino was. They weren't a good team and he was rightfully punted.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

1 point off 2nd for The Hammers, funny old game.

[Magpie]

Enjoyed the second half of that game, Spurs had plenty of chances to take something from that game. Gareth Bale was outstanding when he came on, evidently still got it. West Ham flying.

Hope Celtic get pumped. We don’t play County for a few weeks yet, hardly going to have any impact at all, Rangers would likely hand us three points after the split if the league was done and we could catch Celtic as well.

I'm hoping Shankland has a bad game. I reckon it's between him and Nisbet for a place in the Scotland squad and at the moment he's in pole position. A month ago there wasn't much in it, Shankland has the advantage of having the experience of a few caps but hadn't been scoring and Nisbet was. Now the pendulum has swung back in Shankland's favour with him scoring 3 in 2 games and Nisbet on the bench. Nisbet is quickly running out of games if he's going to get in the next squad.

[JimBHibees]

Clarke needs to pick Nisbet over him. Surely.

Don't think either will be picked.

2nd qualifying stage of champions league (ie 3 ties from the groups), lose that into the 3rd qualifying round of the Europa league (with albeit an easier draw due to being a champions league drop out). No guarantee of group stage football.

Those dropped points at home are looking unbelievably expensive. Third place will be a very decent return but this will likely be our only chance of a second place finish. The chance was definitely there with Lennon as Celtc manager.
