Awful. But again a penalty decision didnt go our way.
Its almost every game where we dont get the 50/50 decisions.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Other than a player being deemed offside because he's German and didn't shave his armpits.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Every team have had those given against them. As bad as it is it’s still within the rules. The defenders hand was in an unnatural position, and I thought that was supposed to be a penalty under the current guidelines?

Phillips is injured
We dont have the players to change things
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm talking in general when the choice has been 2 young defenders resulting in a poor defence but good midfield or 1 young defender and a midfielder resulting in a poor defence and poor midfield.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Why did city play Fernandinho and not an academy CB? Williams is absolutely awful
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I know which is why I wanted Philips and Kabak these last few weeks like with Sheff Utd.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
But is Phillips really that good?? I think he's a disaster waiting to happen. I could be wrong but I just think the average PL defender won't mind playing against him at all

But what about not in the air??
Anyway, it hasn't even been an option for Klopp so far as Fab was injured and now Phillips is so....

As opposed to the average premier league attackers who are currently $h1tt1ng their under crackers about facing Fabinho?
I mean, what exactly is your point?
Disaster waiting to happen?
We have just lost our 5th home game on the bounce FFS.
Id say the disaster is currently well under way.

He's been ok enough. In terms of defending on the floor he is as good as the midfielders, he just can't play the ball as well as them. The simple point for me is in my opinion, the gain from having Fabinho in midfield is bigger than the loss of Fabinho not being in defence.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Phillips was injured tonight though.
