Addition by subtraction?

A soul for a soul.

I don’t know if Kabak is bad, but he is too slow for PL. First thing CBs need to do is defend on the turn. That’s not Kabak

Personally still think that Nat Phillips has been just fine at CB for us when playing. I'd rather see guys like Henderson and Fabinho playing in midfield and Phillips back at CB. I didn't get forcing that at the time, one of the reasons I don't buy the injury excuse for Liverpool's form. We've just adapted very poorly to the injuries we've had and IMO the coaches have not adjusted their approach accordingly. Too easy to find excuses.

There is no fight left in the team and it is obvious. They quit.

I mean, especially without Henderson in there, but I look back on that play where Kovacic kicked the ball into Mane’s face. Where were his team mates? They aren’t assed. It’s not a unit any more. There’s no leadership. The only thing this team is looking for is a fast forward button.

Yeah...it's really strange to go from a team that seemed to have its hallmark being how much they played for eachother, and the effort the put on the field, to stuff like that. I don't know if there's anything going on behind the scenes internally but burnout aside there's definitely something going on with the players. I also think that there's too much rigidity to the way that Klopp wants to play and he can't really adapt. I remember when he was first at Liverpool and he didn't have the personnel to play the way that he wanted to play but he did it anyway and it didn't work super well.

Anyway, I'm hoping to see more adjustments made going forward and I fully believe they can get out of this rut. This team is better than what they're showing and where they're placing currently.

Beautiful Aubameyang goal, back to his best? Willian with a nice assist too, he now has more assists than Ziyech and Havertz combined

I thought Willian was trash?

 

[Evilo]

He is trash.
Which tells you a lot...

Work of art by Burnley

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

That was potentially the funniest goal I've ever seen

 

[Blender]

That was glorious.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

I think the shoulder shrug by Wood at the end said it all

 

[AB13]

I thought Willian was trash?

He is. Very trash

 

[hatterson]

What an amazing goal. Incredible offensive movement.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

This game should be, like, 4-0 lmaooooo

 

[Blender]

What an amazing goal. Incredible offensive movement.

I didn't know Burnley could walk it in like that.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Gonna run a ballot-stuffing campaign to have that named Goal of the Month

 

[AB13]

Bring on Martinelli now. He is a bigger talent than Saka, for sure, but never gets minutes. Don’t like this.

 

[AB13]

Ødegaard just stands still in the middle and does absolutely nothing.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Looked like that could've been a foul from Saka?

When did Vydra decide that he's not the epitome of a Championship-level player?

 

[Rob]

Pepe on!

 

[SSF]

Lacazette should get a yellow for that absolutely ridiculous sell job

 

[AB13]

Stonewall handball on Pieters. But no penalty of course.
