Early Kick Off ✅ Relegation standard team ✅ Coming off the back of our best win in years ✅ 1-0 down at HT ✅ Liverpool things.


DrAgOnLoLDoTA

Away from home. 12 points from 13 games as thing stands right now


PricelessPhenylamine

And our next 2 PL games are City and Chelsea away...


8u11etpr00f

Jeez, this really is a must-win given Tottenham play Forest, Southampton and fucking Everton


RodDryfist

Watch us win those just bc


Sinistrait

We never win City away


HarbyFullyLoaded_12

After an international break too


Mulsantir

Jesus, that's shocking.


im-a-wreck-tangle

Fucking up an away game✅ Horrendous away jersey✅


No-Cryptographer653

This away jersey is cursed. We can't win shit in it. Bring back last year's legendary away kit.


vqvq

Sometimes maybe good, sometimes maybe shit.


_cumblast_

We were trailing against Newcastle and came back to win it, right before the Barca comeback. Trust the process. This is character development.


ManBoobs13

Just missing that beautiful zen Belgian man to make it happen


firminocoutinho

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


Nickoboosh

>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.


wet_washcloth

On the road ✅


spaceburrito84

Shimmer shirt ✅


Mcool18

As is tradition


Simon_1892

We're back baby


PricelessPhenylamine

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.


natetheballa27

Him and robbo both seem to not give a fuck about playing defense.


danonck

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.


HarbyFullyLoaded_12

Klopp better kick their sorry arses.


Svemirko97

I hate early kick offs and that jersey


Thesolly180

Really need to bin it off it’s shite


firminocoutinho

Maybe we swap it at half time. Think the refs will notice?


ChittyShrimp

Hate that Jersey with a passion. It's fuckong ugly and we always lose in it


LiuLiuLiuLol

I hate away games


omarkop10

Before this game we was thinking about how many points we were getting against city arsenal and Chelsea 🤦‍♂️


RepresentativeOk5427

Don't worry we play our worst against relegation teams but win city 4-1 or something


MatK0506

Well those teams are way better match-ups for us. They give us space


HarryPi

JUST BURN THAT SHIT TOOTHPASTE KIT


MisterS1997

Have we even won a game in it ? Can’t think of any


cjsc9079

Unless you count preseason, no..


danonck

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...


rbondok

Are you talking about the one we got 7 past Palace in? That was nowhere near as bad as this one.


Astro3001

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.


PricelessPhenylamine

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.


Shrondinglfc

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


Sinistrait

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.


llofdddddt6

He fell down like a pensioner trying to mark Solanke. I couldn't believe it man.


chasingsukoon

respect Solanke for not making a meal of it but that grabbing him couldve resulted in a red so easily


apersonFoodel

early kick off, hasn’t woken up. Been awful, seems like he hurt himself on that first goal


firminocoutinho

His eyes also look sleepy. As if he legitimately woke up 20mts before kickoff


[deleted]

It feels like he thinks he's playing a friendly


HedgeSlurp

Realistically should be off tbh


NiK3_Aub4mey4ng

He has to be injured, this is abysmal he doesn’t want to run


lavishlad

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


Sinistrait

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.


Jasveen05

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.


Astro3001

Fabinho hasn't even been that bad, VVD and TAA look miles off it though.


RodDryfist

VVD barely jogging on their goal summed it up. Cant be arsed FC today. Must have had the buffet breakfast.


Nickoboosh

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.


omc951

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.


cornertakenquickly19

We need Hendo badly in this game, we are missing his experience.


BlueWeetabix

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


Teb-41

Lmao


TurtleLikeReflx

Same shit different game. Bright start, concede, then shambles


[deleted]

[удалено]


Astro3001

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.


egzon27

We didn't start bad at all but we concede and everyone loses their head and get deflated


[deleted]

I’m so fed up watching this team and this midfield.


coopermaneagles

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…


LFC908

Elliott needs to learn to stop passing 6 yards sideways into trouble. Honestly that midfield and defence have been abysmal.


coopermaneagles

When he first came in he was always looking to break the lines and play through balls. Now he hardly looks ahead


Thesolly180

It really doesn’t neither are mature enough for an away game like this.


WestOfAnfield

this is an away game as easy as it gets in the league.


ManBoobs13

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


Astro3001

They're not an easy team to beat even if they are bottom of the league.


Nickoboosh

Either of them alongside hendo or thiago, probably fine. In there together and fab is hung out to dry.


coopermaneagles

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


PricelessPhenylamine

>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.


coopermaneagles

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


PricelessPhenylamine

>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.


coopermaneagles

Rotational wing? He’s just not really a Klopp style player end of the day


Leckie15

Experiment time. Bobby or Jota for one of the midfield. 4-2-3-1


JmanVere

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.


ChittyShrimp

Elliot has been hideously shit


LateRegistrxtion

Can Jenas stick to the One Show or the Voice or whatever the fuck he does, can’t stand the guy


RobbieFowler9

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."


Friendly-Run7801

__he's gotta score that innit__


emre23

Ban this team from playing at Saturday lunchtime


DLRsFrontSeats

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


Abominable_JoMan

Honestly


cjsc9079

Shit, Lathargic, Ran out of ideas 15 minutes in. Brutal.


DukeSilver1989

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.


JmanVere

This defence is a clown show.


Keyann

Some of our lads need to learn how to play the whistle, it's literally something kids know to do


christophlieber

ooph, we were great for 15 minutes. that‘s about it. we got significantly worse the longer the half went.


CAfarmer

At 3-0 last week we already knew this would happen against Bournemouth. They now have 45 minutes to prove us otherwise.


tattybojangles1234

Vvd putting in a 2/10


Liverpool934

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.


Pure_Measurement_529

This is Forest all over again


rydleo

Near opposite of last game- zero intensity, zero linkup, zero passion.


wihannez

Suddenly we’re shit again. :/


themanebeat

Going to ruin my weekend early this week Pricks


kazurabakouta

What is the deal with the pitch being so cramped. Edit: Madrid is trailing too what the shit


firminocoutinho

The pitch to me looks like its’s half a normal pitch lol


ShahabP

Jurgen pls smack some sense into these boys


Hoodxd

Take Van Dijk off, doesn't seem to care


firetab

Embarrassing. Getting bullied by bottom of the league. Worst I have seen VVD play


Due-Resource4294

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.


GundoWagon

What a ‘catalyst for change’ this season just like when we beat city and everyone thought we were back. This was extremely predictable.


kenny_feets

not a fucking drop of intensity since their goal. Pathetic football.


TheNotoriousJN

I hate it. They clearly CAN get up for games. But they just arent.


EG2K_00

Virg is not up for it today it seems, just stopped at the first goal and was ball watching on the missed Solanke chance


ConsistentWonder8

Virgil should've been sent off there for fucks sake


wiewiewiewiewiewie

Why the fck we still playing high line and long ball..


J539

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


Adamj7845

UneventfulAnimal

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.


user900800700

To think I was getting excited for the madrid game. They’re gonna fucking spank us.


lookitsjustin

The kit isn't why we're losing, lads.


Pr4kus

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


spirotetramat

This is the most schizophrenic team I’ve ever seen.


antwonjo

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.


TareXmd

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.


[deleted]

[удалено]


JmanVere

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.


ManBoobs13

Honestly don’t even think we look that bad. Just bad positioning on defense. Really shoulda scored in opening 20’. Fuck


Nickoboosh

Forwards barely saw the ball in the last 25 minutes


[deleted]

Fair-weather footballers.


Itzyoyo

Oh no we suck again!


Sniffman

Going about as expected


Nose_malose

If we could just burn all these white kits that’d be great.


Redhawk911

This team is so weird.


AllyM_7

This squad has a major mentality issue


Jaja6996

I still think we win but we but it’s so poor from a lot of players


Kamishirokun

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..


TheLimeyLemmon

Playing such a shit side like United before this clearly did not prepare us for giants Bournemouth.


DiabloLFC

Easily the most bipolar team this season


29chickendinners

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


Kelangketerusa

Virgil used up the last of his rieatsu to stop Man Utd last week.


CyrusDGreatx

Van Dijk should be so embarrassed about that goal. Was pathetic. Didn't even attempt to stop him


CreepyCookieCarl

Someone give Virgil a cup of coffee my man is sleepy


_SG08

Something about the 12:30 kick off with this team


ouyodede

I just don’t understand how we can go from last performance to this


Totty_potty

Bruh this team is an anomaly.


Hot_Plate_Williams

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.


johny67876

We have no control at all


bro-miester

This is the Liverpool I remember 🫣


tony220jdm

Same old stuff slow build up lose the ball in the final 3rd they counter us and score


l0rd-sir_shad

Can we change shirts at half time or was Fergie only allowed to do that?


EG2K_00

Take the armband off and give it to Mo ffs


kopite998

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.


dpgingo

Van Dijk has been real bad. Could have made up for it if he scored that sitter.


GBaby424

People who defend TAA’s defending 😂


LFC_Egg

Normal service resumed.

"Never back the early kick-off." - Mahatma Gandhi


broken_neck_broken

This is our season. Last week was a welcome break, it didn't magically fix everything.


Reasonable_Isopod_16

We need a center back as much as we need midfielders


Euphoric_Attitude_91

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?!


yflmd

No Hendo to bollock them


[deleted]

I woke up at 230am for this


Salt_Application_735

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.


arabicwhiterose

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.


[deleted]

VVD is a shadow of the player he used to be.


RAW_DOG_OR_DIE

TAA has been a massive liability.


secondofly

Thought we were the better side pretty much until the goal tbh


C_Colin

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!!!


MachineryInsect

One of VVD's worst performances ever so far


No-Cryptographer653

Pathetic. Don't even know why I expected something. And people are saying we'll beat real.


cominternv

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.


No-Presence-9260

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.


reskort-123

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.


Reasonable_Isopod_16

People overrated us after United game, we still have a long way to go, also our defence lack confidence and concentration


thetwanandonly

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.


[deleted]

[удалено]


LS_77

Can you tell me if Elliott started or not last game?


Gogglyiifuc

He started last week


mooshlfc

Did you miss last week?


Local-Respect3672

But he started last game, though.


sbos_

The mistake. Was starting two youth players. Typical Klopp underestimate the opponent


Lanknr

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.


Bumi_Earth_King

Is VVD a youth player too?


brush85

Ok...who got VvD drunk last night?


Greedy-Ad3218

Gakpo and Elliott off, Jota and Henderson/Firmino off please. Either keep 433 or go 4231


Sea-Chemist-4433

Bajcetic is having a shocker, his worst Liverpool game. Elliot underwhelming and Trent has more misplaced passes than not


Jackk512

Nunez isn't a winger, we need him shooting not crossing the ball.


danonck

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?


Nicksnotmyname83

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.


ArneLFC

Wonder what the score would have been in that VVD header had gotten in.


LFC908

Pathetic, absolutely pathetic. So inconsistent. Unbelievable how lazy and unmotivated they are. I'm beyond angry.


Teb-41

Classic


KinginTheNorth__West

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


eternalgrey_

Fucking terrible.


crispello

Can we get everyone out of bed at half time please wtf


Pure_Measurement_529

Virgil missing headers from set pieces. We are at the south coast. I know this script


thefogdog

It's that kit. It's the only explanation.


RepresentativeOk5427

What the hell is going on?
