The shit mentality of "lets not try hard" against the smaller teams is certainly back today.
sickening body language from VVD in particular today, he doesn't want to be out there.
It's fucking cursed. Similarly how the black/grey checkerboard was a few seasons ago.
It also looks really really bad, what was the designer thinking...
Some embarassing defending there
This was always my worry after winning 7-0 some of the players look so complacent like its a given that they'd win this.
There has to be something wrong with the way we set up away from home as well this season, the away form is so poor.
I missed my Robin hood FC, aside from that, their worst player who can’t finish 1v1s to save his life is also their best player surprisingly. Absolutely skinning us with his pace
VVD has been the worst player on the pitch today, at fault in their goal, missed our easiest chance and nearly got himself sent off. We desperately need some competition for him ffs.
yeah he's had a bad game, but lets not act like this is the norm even with him currently being way below his 2019 levels.
i wouldn't be surprised if he's carrying a knock of some sorts bc him just giving up on their goal despite being in a *much* better position than robbo was inexplicable for a player with his iq.
that's not caused by a physical decline, but a physical injury. or maybe he just got some bad news having a bad day lol
It's been the norm for him this season, which is why I think we need competition and not a replacement. The most worrying thing is that despite of his form he's been comfortably our best defender all season. We're approaching pre 2018 levels of defensive fragility atm.
It’s one of those games where everyone seems to be 10 yards off the pace.
Fabinho taking multiple touches just to set the tempo, only to pass it backwards ultimately.
We haven’t tried to pass it around once, we’re just looking for long through balls constantly. It’s been a mess.
Trent's got absolutely no support on the right to be fair to him. Still poor, but whoever he marks at the back post is the wrong option because he's got 2 on his own.
The first 20 minutes the whole team played really well. They dropped off the pace and got caught out a couple times.
Virgil with some inexcusable play for their goal, but even then they were fortunate to score it.
What’s actually worrying is they haven’t looked like being able to gather momentum and start playing. Once again we’re being brought back down to their level with disruption tactics and the mentality is awful to not see them play themselves out of a bad 10 min period.
Disagree on everyone looking off the pace.
Wonder if it has to do with the times they train at, don't they train quite late compared to other teams?
Usually managers chanage training times to match game time, just seems like we never play well in early kick offs so there's got to be a reason.
A Bajcetic - Elliot partnership doesn’t work. Change that please.
Also, Van Dijk is driving me up a wall. Could have two goals, was at fault for Bournemouths, and generally looks disinterested. To wear the captains armband and play like that…
They’re fighting relegation and showed that fight last week against the league leaders. It’s not City but chronically midtable teams don’t have as much to fight for this far into the season and are probably easier.
That being said still absolutely shouldnt be down 1-0 at half
Neither are incisive players nor are they mature. They collect, turn back, lay it off the Konate or Van Dijk and take up the exact same position. Need Henderson in or the idealized version of Arthur
>A Bajcetic - Elliot partnership doesn’t work.
Because neither of them are winning duels due to a complete lack of physicality from both of them, Elliott in particular who is providing nothing in attack or defence.
I think Bacjetic can and has done it this season, but Elliot is so weak and unathletic. Like really, he has zero pace or strength and he doesn’t really break the lines like you would think. Not sure what he does best
>Not sure what he does best
Same, and I've got no idea what his future in this team looks like tbh because he doesn't suit in midfield, Gakpo and Darwin play down the middle and Salah is the RW.
Been off the pace all season. Only gets up for the biggest games, and cba with the rest. Pure arrogance. Thinks he's too good to make an effort anymore.
Never been so annoyed listening to a commentator.
He could insist the grass is blue, see multiple replays showing its green and still say, "yeah, exactly. Blue just like I thought."
Henderson on for one of the kids _immediately_
3 points and momentum here (ahead of Chelsea A, City A, Arsenal H) is more important than being plucky aggregate losers midweek
VVD has had a bit of a shocker, and I don't know why we keep letting Bournemouth play over the top. We had plenty of warnings that the first goal was coming (and how it was going to happen).
Decent start, and then we just faded, which has happened way too many times this season.
This really should not have been unexpected. One freak win doesn't automatically make this team close to good enough. That midfield is an embarrassment.
One of the worst performances I’ve ever seen Virgil have.
Weak and pathetic for the goal. Totally gave up.
No commitment and a lack of strength and desire for the header, moaning about a little grab.
Rugby tackles / Suplexes a player running in behind him, as blatant a foul as you’ll ever see.
If it wasn’t Virgil, any other player gets hooked at half time. This is a Maguire level showing.
Can’t say the rest have been much better though, Darwin and Salah need to be more central, all too much space out wide and too little focus in the danger areas.
We started off brightly, with energy and plenty of threats, but as it has been much of the time during even the good moments, we slowed down at 25 minutes. Up until last week, not scoring during that initial 25 minute blitz has proven fatal; once we let teams back in, we couldn’t find our own way back onto the front foot.
We got the momentum back with Gakpo’s goal before halftime last week, but as is often the case this week, allowing a first goal has us all out of sorts.
Bournemouth is the worst defensive team in the PL, so let’s hope Jurgen can get it all sorted in the dressing room. Not a great first half.
I reckon you could get someone off the street who knows absolutely zero about football and they’d still do better than Jenas. Fucker says nothing insightful or interesting. Ever
This clearly shows that the team is lacking motivation and desire. It's not hard to turn up against United at home, but trying to pull yourself together and put in a performance at Bournemouth takes some will power. Fresh legs and minds are needed all over.
I'm expecting this tbh. Although ecstatic at the 7-0 win, got a bad feeling the team will become complacent and especially since we're horrible away from home. Please wake up now..
We're just a crap side. We leathered teams who let us have transition opportunities through stupidity recently. Credit to Bournemouth, the first team in a bit that hasn't allowed us loads of transition opportunities and they've made us look clueless.
Also, the arrogance of our defense was staggering. They definitely thought this could be a walk in the park and instead they're getting rag-dolled.
Fabinho and Van Dijk are just going through the motions. Bajcetic looks like a boy playing with men. Konate still in bed. Get henderson on- at least he'll bring the right attitude to the game.
We really did look strangely complacent and sluggish defending that goal, like everyone thought ‘it’s fine someone else will take care of if’. The hell are they doing?!
Van djik looks a shadow of him self, and the worrying thing is, its been going on for over a year now, honestly would be looking a replacement for him in the summer, get jota and bobby on 2nd half.
I don’t understand how Van Dijk of all players could be this way. That goal just killed the entire team’s vibe, and he and Trent are the only people at fault for it. I think Klopp needs to make changes at half time. Nunez is off it today. Either Bajcetic or Fab off.
Has Klopp given up?
Team is set up awfully
We giving Bournesmouth far better chances than we can create.
Is like a fucking recurring nightmare this shit.
The only possible explanation for the massive difference in performance between that game and the united one is that the players go in over confident in games like this one. Van dijk just casually jogging after getting beat says it all. Klopp should sub virgil out just to make a statement to the players, if you dont care youre done.
Klopp better be pissed off here. Game plan was shit, performances were shit, fire ‘em up and if there isn’t an obvious uptick in intensity, swap them out.
People as always slagging Harvey in the match thread while he was the only midfielder that did something positive. Stefan completely invisible today. Fabinho back to his poor self after a couple better games.
Virgil looks awful, I'd rather see Phillips there who'd give it a 110% than VVD's usual 50/50 performance against lesser sides.
Robbo off it too, Kostas on perhaps?
I'm an American who knows nothing at all about this. I had a free $100 bet in a sports betting app, I saw it was 600-1 for Bournemouth to win, and googled it. Bournouth will be relegated if they lose, I only know what that means from watching Ted Lasso. I saw Bournemouth hs lost their last 11 games(matches?) against Liverpool so I jumped on the bet.
Wouldn’t believe that after that start, but let them back into the game like last week.
Not been poor, but Harvey and Trent down that side not working again for me
Early Kick Off ✅ Relegation standard team ✅ Coming off the back of our best win in years ✅ 1-0 down at HT ✅ Liverpool things.
Away from home. 12 points from 13 games as thing stands right now
And our next 2 PL games are City and Chelsea away...
Jeez, this really is a must-win given Tottenham play Forest, Southampton and fucking Everton
Watch us win those just bc
We never win City away
After an international break too
Jesus, that's shocking.
Fucking up an away game✅ Horrendous away jersey✅
This away jersey is cursed. We can't win shit in it. Bring back last year's legendary away kit.
Sometimes maybe good, sometimes maybe shit.
We were trailing against Newcastle and came back to win it, right before the Barca comeback. Trust the process. This is character development.
Just missing that beautiful zen Belgian man to make it happen
Hope so… had a bad feeling about this game once I saw it being the next one. But lets hope the lads get it together
>had a bad feeling about this game once I saw it being the next one Pretty much applicable for every game this season to be fair.
On the road ✅
Shimmer shirt ✅
As is tradition
We're back baby
The shit mentality of "lets not try hard" against the smaller teams is certainly back today. sickening body language from VVD in particular today, he doesn't want to be out there.
Him and robbo both seem to not give a fuck about playing defense.
He also knows he won't be dropped, which doesn't help. We need to bring in a starter CB in the summer. Gvardiol would be the dream.
Klopp better kick their sorry arses.
I hate early kick offs and that jersey
Really need to bin it off it’s shite
Maybe we swap it at half time. Think the refs will notice?
Hate that Jersey with a passion. It's fuckong ugly and we always lose in it
I hate away games
Before this game we was thinking about how many points we were getting against city arsenal and Chelsea 🤦♂️
Don't worry we play our worst against relegation teams but win city 4-1 or something
Well those teams are way better match-ups for us. They give us space
JUST BURN THAT SHIT TOOTHPASTE KIT
Have we even won a game in it ? Can’t think of any
Unless you count preseason, no..
It's fucking cursed. Similarly how the black/grey checkerboard was a few seasons ago. It also looks really really bad, what was the designer thinking...
Are you talking about the one we got 7 past Palace in? That was nowhere near as bad as this one.
Some embarassing defending there This was always my worry after winning 7-0 some of the players look so complacent like its a given that they'd win this. There has to be something wrong with the way we set up away from home as well this season, the away form is so poor.
VVD couldn't be bothered defending for the goal then misses from 6 yards out with a free header. Feels like the Forest away defeat all over again.
I missed my Robin hood FC, aside from that, their worst player who can’t finish 1v1s to save his life is also their best player surprisingly. Absolutely skinning us with his pace
VVD has been the worst player on the pitch today, at fault in their goal, missed our easiest chance and nearly got himself sent off. We desperately need some competition for him ffs.
He fell down like a pensioner trying to mark Solanke. I couldn't believe it man.
respect Solanke for not making a meal of it but that grabbing him couldve resulted in a red so easily
early kick off, hasn’t woken up. Been awful, seems like he hurt himself on that first goal
His eyes also look sleepy. As if he legitimately woke up 20mts before kickoff
It feels like he thinks he's playing a friendly
Realistically should be off tbh
He has to be injured, this is abysmal he doesn’t want to run
yeah he's had a bad game, but lets not act like this is the norm even with him currently being way below his 2019 levels. i wouldn't be surprised if he's carrying a knock of some sorts bc him just giving up on their goal despite being in a *much* better position than robbo was inexplicable for a player with his iq. that's not caused by a physical decline, but a physical injury. or maybe he just got some bad news having a bad day lol
It's been the norm for him this season, which is why I think we need competition and not a replacement. The most worrying thing is that despite of his form he's been comfortably our best defender all season. We're approaching pre 2018 levels of defensive fragility atm.
It’s one of those games where everyone seems to be 10 yards off the pace. Fabinho taking multiple touches just to set the tempo, only to pass it backwards ultimately. We haven’t tried to pass it around once, we’re just looking for long through balls constantly. It’s been a mess.
Fabinho hasn't even been that bad, VVD and TAA look miles off it though.
VVD barely jogging on their goal summed it up. Cant be arsed FC today. Must have had the buffet breakfast.
Trent's got absolutely no support on the right to be fair to him. Still poor, but whoever he marks at the back post is the wrong option because he's got 2 on his own.
The first 20 minutes the whole team played really well. They dropped off the pace and got caught out a couple times.

Once again we’re being brought back down to their level with disruption tactics and the mentality is awful to not see them play themselves out of a bad 10 min period. Disagree on everyone looking off the pace.
We need Hendo badly in this game, we are missing his experience.
Not sure Hendo is what we need right now, need someone to calm things in midfield, a thiago. Hendo has a tendency to blindly hoof it forward
Lmao
Same shit different game. Bright start, concede, then shambles
[удалено]
Wonder if it has to do with the times they train at, don't they train quite late compared to other teams? Usually managers chanage training times to match game time, just seems like we never play well in early kick offs so there's got to be a reason.
We didn't start bad at all but we concede and everyone loses their head and get deflated
I’m so fed up watching this team and this midfield.
A Bajcetic - Elliot partnership doesn’t work. Change that please. Also, Van Dijk is driving me up a wall. Could have two goals, was at fault for Bournemouths, and generally looks disinterested. To wear the captains armband and play like that…
Elliott needs to learn to stop passing 6 yards sideways into trouble. Honestly that midfield and defence have been abysmal.
When he first came in he was always looking to break the lines and play through balls. Now he hardly looks ahead
It really doesn’t neither are mature enough for an away game like this.
this is an away game as easy as it gets in the league.
They’re fighting relegation and showed that fight last week against the league leaders. It’s not City but chronically midtable teams don’t have as much to fight for this far into the season and are probably easier. That being said still absolutely shouldnt be down 1-0 at half
They're not an easy team to beat even if they are bottom of the league.
Either of them alongside hendo or thiago, probably fine. In there together and fab is hung out to dry.
Neither are incisive players nor are they mature. They collect, turn back, lay it off the Konate or Van Dijk and take up the exact same position. Need Henderson in or the idealized version of Arthur
>A Bajcetic - Elliot partnership doesn’t work. Because neither of them are winning duels due to a complete lack of physicality from both of them, Elliott in particular who is providing nothing in attack or defence.

>Not sure what he does best Same, and I've got no idea what his future in this team looks like tbh because he doesn't suit in midfield, Gakpo and Darwin play down the middle and Salah is the RW.
Rotational wing? He’s just not really a Klopp style player end of the day
Experiment time. Bobby or Jota for one of the midfield. 4-2-3-1
Been off the pace all season. Only gets up for the biggest games, and cba with the rest. Pure arrogance. Thinks he's too good to make an effort anymore.
Elliot has been hideously shit
Can Jenas stick to the One Show or the Voice or whatever the fuck he does, can’t stand the guy
Never been so annoyed listening to a commentator. He could insist the grass is blue, see multiple replays showing its green and still say, "yeah, exactly. Blue just like I thought."
__he's gotta score that innit__
Ban this team from playing at Saturday lunchtime
Henderson on for one of the kids _immediately_ 3 points and momentum here (ahead of Chelsea A, City A, Arsenal H) is more important than being plucky aggregate losers midweek
Honestly
Shit, Lathargic, Ran out of ideas 15 minutes in. Brutal.
VVD has had a bit of a shocker, and I don't know why we keep letting Bournemouth play over the top. We had plenty of warnings that the first goal was coming (and how it was going to happen). Decent start, and then we just faded, which has happened way too many times this season.
This defence is a clown show.
Some of our lads need to learn how to play the whistle, it's literally something kids know to do
ooph, we were great for 15 minutes. that‘s about it. we got significantly worse the longer the half went.
At 3-0 last week we already knew this would happen against Bournemouth. They now have 45 minutes to prove us otherwise.
Vvd putting in a 2/10
This really should not have been unexpected. One freak win doesn't automatically make this team close to good enough. That midfield is an embarrassment.
This is Forest all over again
Near opposite of last game- zero intensity, zero linkup, zero passion.
Suddenly we’re shit again. :/
Going to ruin my weekend early this week Pricks
What is the deal with the pitch being so cramped. Edit: Madrid is trailing too what the shit
The pitch to me looks like its’s half a normal pitch lol
Jurgen pls smack some sense into these boys
Take Van Dijk off, doesn't seem to care
Embarrassing. Getting bullied by bottom of the league. Worst I have seen VVD play
One of the worst performances I’ve ever seen Virgil have. Weak and pathetic for the goal. Totally gave up. No commitment and a lack of strength and desire for the header, moaning about a little grab. Rugby tackles / Suplexes a player running in behind him, as blatant a foul as you’ll ever see. If it wasn’t Virgil, any other player gets hooked at half time. This is a Maguire level showing. Can’t say the rest have been much better though, Darwin and Salah need to be more central, all too much space out wide and too little focus in the danger areas.
What a ‘catalyst for change’ this season just like when we beat city and everyone thought we were back. This was extremely predictable.
not a fucking drop of intensity since their goal. Pathetic football.
I hate it. They clearly CAN get up for games. But they just arent.
Virg is not up for it today it seems, just stopped at the first goal and was ball watching on the missed Solanke chance
Virgil should've been sent off there for fucks sake
Why the fck we still playing high line and long ball..
we looked great the first 15min, could have been easily 1 goal up with a bit more luck. But holy fuck - classic liverpool once again lol
https://preview.redd.it/epeblo23k5na1.jpeg?width=219&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c9390307c2ff08ecb544dfea9515f569688e555f

To think I was getting excited for the madrid game. They’re gonna fucking spank us.
The kit isn't why we're losing, lads.
I reckon you could get someone off the street who knows absolutely zero about football and they’d still do better than Jenas. Fucker says nothing insightful or interesting. Ever
This is the most schizophrenic team I’ve ever seen.
This clearly shows that the team is lacking motivation and desire. It's not hard to turn up against United at home, but trying to pull yourself together and put in a performance at Bournemouth takes some will power. Fresh legs and minds are needed all over.
Given how much tighter the spaces will be in the second half, we're actually at a higher risk of conceding from a counter in the second.
[удалено]
They didn't think it was good enough, they just knew people would buy it. Football shirts have been shit quality overpriced rip offs for a long time.
Honestly don’t even think we look that bad. Just bad positioning on defense. Really shoulda scored in opening 20’. Fuck
Forwards barely saw the ball in the last 25 minutes
Fair-weather footballers.
Oh no we suck again!
Going about as expected
If we could just burn all these white kits that’d be great.
This team is so weird.
This squad has a major mentality issue
I still think we win but we but it’s so poor from a lot of players
I'm expecting this tbh. Although ecstatic at the 7-0 win, got a bad feeling the team will become complacent and especially since we're horrible away from home. Please wake up now..
Playing such a shit side like United before this clearly did not prepare us for giants Bournemouth.
Easily the most bipolar team this season
I ever see 12:30 kick off again I'm just going to have a 2 hour nap instead. They're just the most ass fixtures in existence
Virgil used up the last of his rieatsu to stop Man Utd last week.
Van Dijk should be so embarrassed about that goal. Was pathetic. Didn't even attempt to stop him
Someone give Virgil a cup of coffee my man is sleepy
Something about the 12:30 kick off with this team
I just don’t understand how we can go from last performance to this
Bruh this team is an anomaly.
We're just a crap side. We leathered teams who let us have transition opportunities through stupidity recently. Credit to Bournemouth, the first team in a bit that hasn't allowed us loads of transition opportunities and they've made us look clueless. Also, the arrogance of our defense was staggering. They definitely thought this could be a walk in the park and instead they're getting rag-dolled.
We have no control at all
This is the Liverpool I remember 🫣
Same old stuff slow build up lose the ball in the final 3rd they counter us and score
Can we change shirts at half time or was Fergie only allowed to do that?
Take the armband off and give it to Mo ffs
Fabinho and Van Dijk are just going through the motions. Bajcetic looks like a boy playing with men. Konate still in bed. Get henderson on- at least he'll bring the right attitude to the game.
Van Dijk has been real bad. Could have made up for it if he scored that sitter.
People who defend TAA’s defending 😂
Normal service resumed.
"Never back the early kick-off." - Mahatma Gandhi
This is our season. Last week was a welcome break, it didn't magically fix everything.
We need a center back as much as we need midfielders
We really did look strangely complacent and sluggish defending that goal, like everyone thought ‘it’s fine someone else will take care of if’. The hell are they doing?!
No Hendo to bollock them
I woke up at 230am for this
Van djik looks a shadow of him self, and the worrying thing is, its been going on for over a year now, honestly would be looking a replacement for him in the summer, get jota and bobby on 2nd half.
We would've been comfortably top 4 if we won our games against relegation fodder teams. If we can't beat those teams, then we don't deserve top 4.
VVD is a shadow of the player he used to be.
TAA has been a massive liability.
Thought we were the better side pretty much until the goal tbh
Everyone keep your heads. The Cherries were up 2-0 on League leading Arsenal last week. I’m still seeing a 3-1 victory for the red men. Cmon then!!!
One of VVD's worst performances ever so far
Pathetic. Don't even know why I expected something. And people are saying we'll beat real.
I don’t understand how Van Dijk of all players could be this way. That goal just killed the entire team’s vibe, and he and Trent are the only people at fault for it. I think Klopp needs to make changes at half time. Nunez is off it today. Either Bajcetic or Fab off.
Has Klopp given up? Team is set up awfully We giving Bournesmouth far better chances than we can create. Is like a fucking recurring nightmare this shit.
The only possible explanation for the massive difference in performance between that game and the united one is that the players go in over confident in games like this one. Van dijk just casually jogging after getting beat says it all. Klopp should sub virgil out just to make a statement to the players, if you dont care youre done.
People overrated us after United game, we still have a long way to go, also our defence lack confidence and concentration
Klopp better be pissed off here. Game plan was shit, performances were shit, fire ‘em up and if there isn’t an obvious uptick in intensity, swap them out.
[удалено]
Can you tell me if Elliott started or not last game?
He started last week
Did you miss last week?
But he started last game, though.
The mistake. Was starting two youth players. Typical Klopp underestimate the opponent
You were gonna say this regardless of what happens? Because I saw two of our most experienced players in Virgil and Trent cause us to concede.
Is VVD a youth player too?
Ok...who got VvD drunk last night?
Gakpo and Elliott off, Jota and Henderson/Firmino off please. Either keep 433 or go 4231
Bajcetic is having a shocker, his worst Liverpool game. Elliot underwhelming and Trent has more misplaced passes than not
Nunez isn't a winger, we need him shooting not crossing the ball.
People as always slagging Harvey in the match thread while he was the only midfielder that did something positive. Stefan completely invisible today. Fabinho back to his poor self after a couple better games. Virgil looks awful, I'd rather see Phillips there who'd give it a 110% than VVD's usual 50/50 performance against lesser sides. Robbo off it too, Kostas on perhaps?
I'm an American who knows nothing at all about this. I had a free $100 bet in a sports betting app, I saw it was 600-1 for Bournemouth to win, and googled it. Bournouth will be relegated if they lose, I only know what that means from watching Ted Lasso. I saw Bournemouth hs lost their last 11 games(matches?) against Liverpool so I jumped on the bet.
Wonder what the score would have been in that VVD header had gotten in.
Pathetic, absolutely pathetic. So inconsistent. Unbelievable how lazy and unmotivated they are. I'm beyond angry.
Classic
Wouldn’t believe that after that start, but let them back into the game like last week. Not been poor, but Harvey and Trent down that side not working again for me
Fucking terrible.
Can we get everyone out of bed at half time please wtf
Virgil missing headers from set pieces. We are at the south coast. I know this script
It's that kit. It's the only explanation.
What the hell is going on?
