They're always out of gas. They need a brand of football that isn't constant sprinting and half the team getting hurt.

Klopp has done an amazing job but the time has come for both parties.
I mean you can’t get more chaotic than Klopp so yeah. But yeah I mean that’s part of why they needed to reinforce in January. All of these guys are so overplayed because we had to cover all the injuries. It’s a shame.

If Liverpool gets knocked out, do we finally start the watch of Leverkusen going unbeaten in all comps?
I think Leverkusen needs to worry about West Ham. They barely got past Qarabag twice

But great achievement if they can pull it off obviously

I never like the fatigue excuses to be honest. They have enough recovery days. It just scream to me complencacy and not being well prepared for that game

At least they can punt the second leg

I mean it’s both. They are obviously fatigued but holy hell they were unprepared today

Shocking to be honest. They look better than Arsenal or City.

It's a shock for those who are used to seeing the run and gun of the Premier League, which is certainly fun and is certainly the most beautiful championship to watch. But Serie A always remains the most difficult, and never mind if it is tagged as boring, because then these things happen.

Yeah but the injuries are a feature, not a bug.

This is the 3rd kind of mid season in 4 years. It's time.

Leverkusen adds another. Header by Boniface. West Ham was looking on for a great result for a while, since Leverkusen has been controlling this game, but instead Leverkusen gets the deserved result.

I just imagine Middlesbourgh, Chelsea and West Ham fans seeing famous flops de Roon, Zappacosta and Scamacca beat Liverpool 3-0 away and going wtf!? haha

David Moyes is such a terrorist. I've never despised a manager so much that hasn't gotten West Ham relegated.

To be fair Atalanta is a run and gun team themselves. It's not Juventus or Roma.

Leverkusen getting Boniface back could prove a big boost for them in the EL. It's like an amazing late season transfer.

If West Ham had tried to open up the game they get brutalized on the counter and it's probably a 5-0, 6-1 type result. With the players missing there's just too much a disparity between the two sides currently. Trying to bunker and hope to go back to London 0-0 was the right play, cynical and unpopular as it might be.

I love watching the PL but watching sides from other leagues smoking English clubs always makes for fantastic tears.
