Mane wasn't the missing ingredient yesterday. Allison and Henderson would have made a bigger difference the way the game panned out. Adrian gifts them a lead, but if Henderson plays, there's no way Liverpool concede 7. They may not have won, but certainly damage would have been limited.

Anyone else think bobby has had a bad start to season. Missing for most of the game

You have to bear in mind Smith played a tactical blinder in all fairness.

He'd been hiding his renowned tactical prowess for a full year as he almost got Villa relegated, but there it was tonight in all it's glory.

WTF lads? The so called best club team in the world beaten 7-2 by Aston Villa.

Two things;
1)When Klopp had the go at Keane for saying they were sloppy, Klopp admitted that in the way Liverpool play that they may concede chances. Roy had a point but Klopp doesn't consider it sloppy. When it works for Liverpool, it's a dream. It didn't work so well yesterday.

2) Smith when interviewed after the game mentioned they'd worked on pressing Liverpool high up the pitch and if they did manage to win it back to switch play over to the opposite side of the field as soon as possible as they knew there'd be space there with Liverpools attacking full backs and if you look at some of the chances they got and the ones Barkley butchered you could see that.


Gomez isn't great IMO and with VVD's very high performance levels dropping off slightly he's being exposed a bit.

Still think it's Liverpools league to lose though.

Yeah he's had a bad start to the season. Was very poor last night.

I thought he was fine against Arsenal and Chelsea.

The entire team was utter shit yesterday apart from Salah.

Personally, I think some people place a little too much emphasis on the fact that he only got a couple of goals at Anfield last season and label his performance as subpar based on that.

Bronco

Agreed. Worth remembering he was up against a team masterminded by tactical genius Dean Smith too.

'Fans' need scapegoats and were happy enough to put up with Bobby's scoring record as long as we were winning. Although Firmino's form hasn't been wonderful, he is still vital to our team.

Still trying to fathom how one of our best teams ever, gets one of our worst defeats ever :o

As they say in GAA, 'hammer the hammer' , fair play to Villa management- they identified a weakness in that Liverpools pressing and counter attacks left the centre backs exposed on either wing. Gomez was all over the show, trying to play off side on the halfway line ...jesus wept !

Playing offside on the half way line is a moot point as they do that every game. It's the 'all
Over the show' which was the main problem!!!

When you think you're fucked you're only about 40% fucked.

Surely this is becoming a major concern for Liverpool given how many asthmatics they apparently have in the squad? I

I'd have thought all the asthmatics would have been told to self isolate for their own safety given they would be in a higher risk category than non-asthmatics?


Can anyone think of a logical reason why this is not the case?...

That's three in a week now for Liverpool. There's likely to be more.

We're going to see some odd scorelines and results this year. It's a very different environment to be playing in. No fans in the stadium, a few of your teammates getting Covid, etc.  Man city get trounced by Leicester at home who then in turn get well bate by Newcastle the following week.  Even in Liverpool's best days and eras they've rarely put 7 past any team nor rarely ever conceded so many goals even at their lowest ebb, yet Villa can do this to possibly the best Liverpool side of all time.  No issues with the Villa result, they were magnificent.  But it's strange times we're in and it's hard to know what to make of some of the results the tail end of last season and the start of this season. Everton are top of the league ffs  :-*
That's just, like your opinion man.
