2 of 9 pts from the City & Pool games this year

Completely unacceptable from this bunch. Not much more to say.

Hopefully they turn up for Chelsea in the semi & Forest after

And why must we never play Eze/Rice/odegaard midfield? Especially playing a low block and needing a goal?

The lineup decisions are baffling sometimes

I will absolutely concede that the overall performance was poor, but when you have a CF giving nothing to the build up and can't create shots for himself it is a real problem.

How does Jesus get in position for a header but Gyokeres can't?

He's just not a productive player for us game to game. Does he have his moments? Sure. I just think we get through this season (and hopefully win something) and move on. He's better suited for a team that gives him constant service because it's all they have.

We've gained 4 points in the last 3 games baw. I think that is sorta seizing the opportunity don't you think?

We still have to go to the Ethiad. If we play like this, it's all of a sudden a 3 pt lead.

Does it not concern you that of the circumstances of this game we came out and played liked we did? It's unimaginable how we let them push us around on our own pitch.

This has historically been a team weak on mental fortitude when it counts. This game today was NOT a strong indication for a title push.

I hope they can flush it, but we are just as prone as anyone else to the "cluster" results and the margin is a lot better when you're up 8 instead of 6 with a game to play @ your title rivals.

No I know he's not the only player on the team, but the fact that he can't generate is own shots, or combine with anyone else to get a shot is a problem. He's basically completely reliant on a well timed & weighted through ball or a cross that he is actually making a run for to generate shots.

As much as Kai isn't a CF, he does both of those other things really well, but isn't as good a finisher. The thing with Vik is that if there isn't space, he's not holding up or outmuscling anyone. I thought he'd figure that part out, but 18 PL games played and 7 of them he has produced 0 shots.

FOTmob has us as 2 SOG in the 2H. I know for sure the Martinelli one late, but I think there was one more.

This is a problem:

And it's not a service thing. He can't get open, and can't play 1-2s with people

Havertz had 4 as a CM before he became a CF

Id rather see Nketiah again than Gyokeres on the pitch. We'll win inspite of him, like we have all year.

I know I'm being overly negative, but you'll never get a better chance to go up 8 vs a severely depleted Liverpool team.

You can't play like that when you've got a history of not being able to get over the hump in all comps

You can't take breaks if you want to win trophies. All it takes is randomness (Szbo FK in the first fixture)

That's the worst Liverpool team we've played in god knows how long and they pretty much did what they wanted in 2H

We allowed them 65% possession in the 2H.

I just can't believe how shite we played. Probably the worst half we've had all season. Just fricking terrible man

That's also the 7 the game that Vik hasn't had a shot in a PL game. He's just not a good footballer. Only thing he's good at is taking PKs. We've never had lower production out of a CF before. Kai needs to get back into the team ASAP

shite performance all around.

Just not fricking good enough. Played like we didn't want to be there for half the night.

Shame on the team for that

Liverpool sitting in a low block when we break their first line of press

They had one real scare, we've gotten 2-3 shots to Alisson, but nothing too promising
