I was at the game yesterday and it is dreadful to watch. So utterly pointless. I go most weeks and it is not enjoyable to watch, since when is 45 passes before a tap in considered a fantastic goal? It's no Andros townsend volley and doesn't even come in to that category of technical brilliance IMO
I watch the way Spurs and Liverpool play and wish we could play that style instead of the absolutley mundane rubbish I see week in week out.
This isn't a knee jerk, the last 5 or 6 games have been poor albeit the City game which lets all be honest City were poor. Couldn't even beat Jose's United who were dropping points and losing to everyone! Needed a Barkley goal in the 95th to salvage a point.
My point is that unless we spend in January and Sarri gets some players to play his 'Sarri ball' which again let's all be honest is the same shlt that Peps tiki taka but with a stupid name, then Sarri will be sacked before the end of the season.
Absolute MINIMUM standards every season is champions league football and we won't get there playing like we have done over the last month or so.
No 'Sarri ball' just a bore fest

I watched the highlights earlier today and thought we were ok...if we'd taken 2 of the five clear chances we had we have won that...
One clinical finish did for us...from the player we should have bought

I liked Rudiger's interview after the game, a nice honest reflection.

Potentially good article ruined by the judgmental harsh tone of it. Nothing wrong with not particularly liking the SarriBall/tiki taka hybrid style in principle, if that's what the issue is, but you can't accurately judge it watching us at the moment. You mention enjoying Pool & Spurs atm, both of which weren't playing like they do now consistently until two seasons into Klopp & Poch's tenures, you need to give this more time.
But if the problem is a strong dislike for the style in general (i.e. Sarri's Napoli was boring to you) that's a whole other thing and nothing wrong with that. If that's the case, would you have preferred Tuchel out of interest? Bit of a mix of gegenpressing with positional play, best of both worlds when it comes together.

It's a Klopp thing, once you lose the ball instead of retreating back into a shape you immediately attempt to win the ball back.
