This is not a knee jerk reaction but something that I have noticed for a few matches now. Thiago, as good as his pedigree is, does not fit in our team and never will. His forward play is too slow for us and he is a liability defensively. Reminds me of Veron at United.
I think that it is time to ditch the experiment, sell him at the end of the season. In the meantime, play Hendo, Gini and Jones for the rest of the season. We need to start thinking about next season as this season is now a write off. Confidence is shot and Tuesday will probably end our ambitions in the CL.
We need to concentrate on top four for now. Play our pressing game and play players in their correct positions. Need to start grinding out results - hopefully, Jotta will be back soon to give us more in the final third.
Make no mistake, we are now in a four way fight with Spurs , Chelsea, Everton or even West Ham for a top four place with a weaker squad than any of them and a team devoid of confidence. We will need to scrap for every point now, starting with Everton. No need to be pretty, just effective. Adopt different tactics against different sides and turn potential losses into draws and draws into 3 points.

some people on here get great pleasure in kicking a man or team when they are down, I call them glory hunters, let me tell you lot we will be back stronger, I remember the day when LFC got relegated and it hurt but we came back stronger and remember every dog has his day.

If only Fsg were as quick to make transfers in the window as to put ticket prices up. Money, money money.

🤣 I think signing a championship defender and loaning a defender from a German club battling relegation tells you all you need to know. Klopp has been managing this team with one arm tied behind his back.

Last year they were being lauded as the best owners in football
They like other owners have lost a fortune due to the pandemic, they were hardly likely to start breaking world records again

Hows about we wait and see what he is like alongside fabinho and henderson 1st, the midfield he was undoubtedly signed to complete.
No doubts for me in the slightest, he will come good.

Thiago did well for 60mins.
Methinks I smell a scape goat.
Barnes was jumping into players all game and the ref belt everyone up. He threw himself between two players to get that free. It's not his fault we failed to defend it nor the disasters that threw another point away after the first 2.
People are missing that we dominated large parts of that game for 70 mins.

Good for you. If I get to your age I'm not sure I could be doing with all the mither on here, you're more tolerant than I am

mither - good word that.
Losing our world class centre back was going to hurt. Losing his partner a few weeks later was going to hurt more,
Losing their cover even worse
Losing his cover for some weeks even worse still.
Ffs some folks need to liven up a bit.
Same with the wums it seems their whole life revolves around Liverpool just because Liverpool fans were obviously buoyant after the recent years of cracking out results.
I thought we were going to be pitched toward a Liverpool v Man U battle for the title. Now it looks like City will walk it from here on in. So let them get on with it. We’ve played them twice so can’t really influence them too much.
Will have to just focus on the CL which I hope will see the best of Thiago and have Jota raring to go in.
