Morning scouse friends
Did you guys generally come from behind to win many games over the past three years or did you very much take the lead and take the game away from the opponents?
The reason I ask is Klopp said something yesterday and it got me thinking about this. I don’t watch Liverpool week in week out so I wouldn’t know but I wondered if this was part of the reason for your form; that you’re not used to coming back from losing positions as much (due to defensive injuries)?
Klopp said something about the forwards and trying to force the goal too much or something and I thought ‘they’re probably not used to being behind’

We were the best in the league for coming back from losing positions for the past few years if I remember right.

Right ok.
Just a confidence/momentum thing

They didn't have defensive problems last two seasons did they?

More an issue with our first three centre backs being put out for the season and their replacements constantly getting injured also, which has obviously affected the midfield also, which in turn affects the attack. There were games when we've looked short of confidence and played poorly but then the past four or five games we've actually played well but still lost. We've completely lost the ability to score goals which surely is a confidence thing.

Did it very well at start of the season. Came from behind at home vs Arsenal, Sheffield, West Ham.
Completely lost that belief now though though we are just clueless against at how to break down a team that have men behind the ball. Concede the first goal it will always end in a loss for us.

So we're actually fourth best from losing positions this season. Second last season when all those defeats were after the league was won. First the season before. 13th the season before that. First the season before that.
Overall we've been the best from losing positions since Klopp came in. Although I wouldn't be placing any bets on it this season.

We won several last year.
The reality is we are probably back to rodgers last seadon levels.

Confidence
Ability
Trust
Imo only changes will improve us.
Klopp needs to take a break this week and think clearly.
Fabinho cannot go cb again. We need to stop that thinking.
He need to drop firmino and he needs to get salah much closer to goal and running behind at sll times.
Seeing a 24 goal forward (astonishing given our lack of goals since november) 40 yards from goal when we are behind vis amazing me.

We've gone behind 8 times at Anfield this season, 7 in the league. Before Christmas we came back to beat Arsenal, West Ham and Sheffield United. Only lost to Atalanta in the CL group after going behind. Since the turn of the year we've lost every game since going behind at home, only equalising with a penalty against Man City.
I think away from home we've only come back to get something at Fulham, again with an equalising penalty.
It's a worrying trend.

A missed trick there.
