True, but we knew this at the start of the season. Mimi was supposed to bridge the gap but looks miles off the pace. we need to wrap Salah and frim in cotton wool with mane out. Surprised they made it onto the bench for this game

He had one belting effort, only kept out by a wonder save.
I was expecting that so yeah ...
Sure, but his all-round game is not so beneficial to the team in most instances I think. He has a few exceptions, but not enough
Sorry, that doesn't excuse the passing, lack of urgency & rather pathetic attempts at winning 50/50s ... Our senior players were really pathetic and as I said, it pretty much highlights that Matip and Lovren are either good because of VvD or miles away from what Joe Gomez is (see how he led the backline against a far better team as the senior most defender)
Completely agree. Klopp has said about Minamino not knowing how to defend on the right. I'd like him to worry about how the attacking players attack, not defend in their positions up top.
I commented a few times about how Tory the crowd were.
They had haircuts twenty years out of style, proper shite clobber, & that lad they spoke to at half time had a fucking hoop earring in one ear yet spoke like he had a plum in his mouth.
Sorry LTW, every thing you listed there can be explained by their lack of match fitness imo.
I think both were really awful in this game. To extrapolate that to deduce their level compared to gomez, who's been playing regularly though is plain wrong. Gomez was awful when he came back. Now he's awesome. Fabinho I think we all agree is class. Usually. Today absolute shite.
As good as the lads were vs Everton they were as poor against Shrewsbury... I thought our midfield just pack thier bags and got back on the coach, the forwards AWOL, and the defense became a comedy of errors...
Twenty minutes into the game Shrewsbury owned of asses, and even after the freak second goal, a time where we should have been stamping our authority on the game it seemed like everyone's performance dropped 40% or so.
Yes, the pitch wasn't great, but that does not excuse the performance. Shrewsbury got at us, got physical, bullied us and with folded.
I thought the main problem was midfield someone like Henderson or Gini was needed, even Keita or Lallana. Who do we get...?? AOC
For the life of me I cannot understand why we signed him, much less give him a contract extension
Can't see us losing the these at Anfield, but it was one more match we did not need

Fabinho dominates games - so he'll be fine.
Both Matip and Lovren, during their liverpool careers, have looked at their best with VvD ... so that is a cause of concern, especially when we're talking about league one opposition.
Doesn't really work for me - that just excuses really really bad performances.
I text my mates & said I could see klopp playing all the kids so he didn't have to change his break plans for the players.
They surely can't charge full price though, it should be massively reduced prices.
Lack of conditioning can be excused but this was more than that. There were performances littered with sloppy attempts at passing from the back, half-hearted challenges, pathetic positioning and an awfully large number of aimless long balls from the back. And the number of quickly-taken free kicks which came back with interest
This is pretty much a fuck you to the FA because they won't do something about the replays.
For me five players sold in the summer should be Shaqiri,Lallana,Origi Lovren,and Ox
I'd keep Origi and Ox.
Lallana, if he goes, will go on a free.
Shaq and Lovren will get us 40-50 million imo ...
Everyone's looked at their best when Virgil's been in the side. I'm not that concerned about Matip because he was more than good, he was downright excellent when he came in (MOTM for me in the CL Final for example) so I'm reasonably confident he can get back to that, especially with the momentum we've built up. Lovren may be more of a worry, but then he is fourth choice.
I quite like it because it gives some of the fringe players a chance to play. They aren't going to improve if they don't play any games all season.
Critchley was in charge against Everton, wasn't he ? Perhaps we were let down by our manager today ?
But in fairness I don‘t want a worry to play for us. Not even in fourth choice.
I don't understand this post either. Labour voters are cool and well-dressed now?
Shrewsbury is quite weird, there's loads of places like that in the wilds of the Middle of the country that have odd pretensions and misplaced poshness.
It's virtually in fucking Wales. I feel sorry for them
Teenage strop doesn't suit him. Quite obviously for some of the 1st team squad players the match would be useful. He's cutting our nose of to spite our face.
