Gonna put my two pennies worth in. Should have been 2-0 down easily, defending at times as shocking as ever. Very narrow and a distinct lack of urgency and penetration, playing 2 number 10's simply does not work.
Sakho for the armband in Hendos absence for me, took that game by the scruff of the neck.

Seeing that Skrtel is the scapegoat as ever, he did nothing wrong because he had nothing to do.
We had chances to win it, don't forget that and look at it from both perspectives.
Simply unacceptable, couple of players were shocking yet getting praised, don't get it!

Not going to lose any sleep after it, but we need width and coutinho must play as a lone number 10 with quality ahead of him and 2 holding midfield players.
Note to self and many others, klopp is a football manager not a magician.

have to disagree with youon skertal, skertal was bad for the 1st goal, he got caught out of position and he should be winning long balls up to the striker its that simple, so no he is not a scape goat he is just not good enough and i think he is our weak link in the team and the defence because i think our other players don't trust him and get nervouse when he is playing, in our last game not tonights skertal made so many mistakes against spurs, he was getting skinned most of the game, i would just like to see him be dropped and lovren put in just to see if i'm right or wrong, if i'm wrong i will admit it, but we can't be any worse by dropping him or resting him, i agree with you on sakho and couthino, but ithink you are expecting too much too soon and as you say klopp is a football manager, what you don't say is he is a very good football manager who is using some one else;s team and players and when he get his own players in i think he will show you just how good he is at his job because he has not done too bad before in his other managerial roles at other clubs.

I'm not starting a witch hunt - look at their Goal - why was Skrtel 2 yards behind the rest of the defensive line?

Klopps going to have to deal with a few issues - Coutinho is not firing as yet and Milner looks worse than average - neither are bad so let's give Klopp time to sort this out!

Skrtel has been pants for three years so tonight is just another validation of how aweful he is. No news ther.

Agree with Welsh Kop Sakho for vice-captain
In fact I'd rest Milner and make him captain next game vs Southampton.
I'd like us to do away with the 4-3-2-1 formation as it doesn't get enuff penetration in the final third, I'd love to see us try a diamond with Studge and Benteke up front.
In the meantime let's serenade our Man of the Match with a song to the tune (Agadoo do do)

MAM MA DO DO DO
His names Sakho he's a brute
MAM MA DO DO DO
He's a ****ing unit too
To the left, To the right he gives Strikers such a fright (Lukaku)
To the left, To the right THEY'LL BE NO GOALS SCORED TONIGHT
(There is also a dance to this)
Would love to see this sung on the Kop
HE DESERVES IT.

So the goal was nothing to do with clyne being the wrong side of him man, in the penalty area!
Definitely skrtels fault. Pppffftttt.
And I'd love to see one example of skrtel looking nervous from last night. He wasn't put under any pressure to be nervous. Liverpool can play badly, concede a goal and it not be skrtels fault sometimes too.

{Ed001's Note - while I agree Clyne was the wrong side and he should have been screaming at Skrtel to come across and make the challenge, the point is it was Skrtel's man, so it was also his fault for losing him. Both players were badly at fault, the usual lack of communication from Skittles, compounded by Clyne's lack of awareness, poor positioning and his own lack of communication. For me, the main blame is defo Clyne's, but Skrtel should have done better too.}
