The high-press to the win the ball high up the pitch has completely disappeared and we have resorted to the opposite, enabling teams to come onto us and exposing our frailties at the back (Warren was particularly targeted today). Now, it’s understandable in a sense. You can’t expect to play that way for the entirety of the season because it simply isn’t possible from a fitness perspective, however there has to be a plan B. If aimlessly punting the ball into channels and hoping for the best is plan B, we need to think of another plan and quickly.

The longer this form continues, the harder it is to get out of the slump.

Reality check - WE'RE NOT. Today's result and 1 goal in the last 4 games confirms that. Wake up and smell the coffee. Unless there's a massive turn-around and today was the chance to do that, our true position is probably the same as last year, 3rd from bottom. On the positive side, we're not being blown away, losing by a single goal mostly, so we should lower the expectation bar and try and secure a few draws, but with a feeble 2 shots on target, our best chance of securing 1 point will be a 0 - 0 draw.

Just need good old fashioned closing down and working hard.

Give your head a wobble. Wish I did 90 minutes work a week, sometimes 180 minutes with a mid week game
These are professional sportsmen.
Burnt out my arse

Hardly the same thing.
Klopp is a German so knows little about football more about teeth whitening
