Starting to think i'd settle for a point today.

Leon Bailey, never again.

[coreyfeldman]

Mcginn really poor today

[Malandro]

Salah looks like he lives under a bridge in San Francisco.

Mcginn really poor today

Had a shocker

This and Newcastle shows we are not able to go toe to toe with decent sides, at least away. I hope that from now on Emery sets us up way more defensive and spoiling in these away games and not so open. Better 0-0 than getting hammered.

Praise from Klopp went to his head.

He’ll be living in Saudi soon

The entire midfield is atrocious today.

Hate the way the negativity creeps back in on here so quickly. We are away at Anfield without Mings with new players still bedding in.

I did expect better than this. But this is a bad day, at the worst place to have a bad day. Emery will make them suffer for this, I doubt we’ll see a performance this bad again for a while.

Spmebody posted similar after the Newcastle game.

Since then we've won two prem games very convincingly and cruised through in europe.

Loads of teams finish at least top 6 getting drubbed at Anfield so in long term it's a result that dosen't hugely matter as long as lessons are learnt and we can't just rock up away at teams with rapid forwards and park our defence on the halfway line all game.

I think that’s the big take away; rethink needed and sure Emery will adjust accordingly.

It shows that the high line is too dangerous against sides with loads of pace, especially if we give them time to look up and pick long balls over us.

That said 2 of the goals were from set pieces where we really need to be more solid.

Bailey ain't happy


Well stop being shit son

Don't think he was that bad when he came on...don't rate him either but had some decent moments today. Watkins for one has been miles worse

Was a dreadful tactical change by Emery to start with. Completely messed the shape of the team around when Carlos went off. Cost us any chance today.

[Exeter 77]

The referee has just given us a throw in which a Liverpool player took so the ref then changed his mind!

Newcastle haven't been that good apart from against us.

He looks like Dodongo from The Game Chasers. Who did actually live under a bridge when he was homeless.
