If Bronco really is Stallion then LFC better have a faultless 34 or so games in the PL.

A.Becker out for a possible 6 weeks...

Someone tell Adrian to hoof it.
Would  be interesting to know whether Klopp sees this as a freak result or indicative of a few issues to sort. Scary to think that no Mane and little pressing has this impact. If Villa can get this amount of joy other teams will fancy their chances.

We better get a goalie in tomorrow. I said here during the summer that Adrian had to be replaced and I got shot down. He set Villa on their way today. We don't need his help any more. We need a backup we can rely on.

Must call someone to report the noisy neighbours letting in more than six

That's quite good Man. Witty without a trace of bile.

Three deflections, a murder pass from defence and it's the keepers fault? No

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

Shit happens.

City and Bayern hammered last week.

The Bayern hammering came a few days after the Super cup and they rested a few players. Manchester City have been in ropey form from last season. Shit happens as you say however this is the first reigning English champion to ship seven goals in a league match since 1953.

No press combined with a high line ain't good it seems.  A few things for Klopp to ponder.

I didn't see the game just the goal highlights but Adrian is just not good enough. Goals change games and the opening goal today set us on course for disaster.

Sadio Mane is the most important player in the league because he's integral to Liverpool's high pressing as well as being a phenomenal player in every other respect

I heard Jonathan Wilson say that even Virgil van Dijk would look shit in the Chelsea team because they don't know how to play a high line as a team

I guess we got a taste of that today when things went badly wrong for Liverpool

Shit happens though

[supersub]

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.
