I don’t think you get anything from him if he’s not scoring or assisting which is obviously a big thing but they’ve seemed to have dried up now. He’s had so many games this season where he’s just anonymous to the point you forget he’s on the pitch like tonight. It could even be that his heads dropped as Gordon was ahead of him no matter what he did earlier on this season despite him playing much better at the time.

I’m not Howe out in the slightest but I don’t think he should just be absolved of all criticism. There’s errors all over the place this season from him and the players.

I think Pope’s here to stay in the league and final. Howe doesn’t drop his favourites.

Gordon through the middle made no sense at all and nullified what could have been a threat from us down the left. If you’re going to do that, at least play Barnes LW instead of Willock who yet again offered nothing and had had one good game this season against Leavue One opposition.

We created two chances all game. One of which he was offside for.

£40m on a backup who plays on the same side as a player we had spent £40m on 6 months beforehand. All the while we had a RW spot that hadn’t been invested in for 4 years. It was a crazy decision that made absolutely no sense at the time and is hurting us now as we’re playing Murphy there with no competition.

Just watching the second again. When Tonali loses the ball, there’s 4 Liverpool players on the right wing with Burn tasked with marking all of them. Gordons bitching on about not being passed the ball and not even jogging back, Bruno Hall, Tonali jogging back and fuck knows why but Willock’s stood up front. It’s so, so poor and absolutely basic football to get back as fast as possible when you lose the ball.

Doesn’t look good in a 2 with Bruno who’s so out of form it’s unreal.

Can’t be any worse than Gordon giving it to Liverpool with every set piece tonight.

Such a waste of money that needed investing in a right winger.

What was the game plan though?! What was our plan to win that game?

Clubs aiming for Champions League qualification don’t turn up to games with that as the target.

Some of it is our own doing though, wasting £40m on Harvey Barnes, £15m on Osula and not selling players when we have the chance and hanging onto them until they go stale or have no value.

One was offside though and i’m certain that had he scored the second, they would have went up the other end and scored again. They cruised through the game tonight. I’m being negative but i’m so sick of seeing this kind of performance at this ground. It’s infuriating and it’s a weak mentality. We’re beat before the game even starts.

What did he tell them to do though? I have no clue what the plan was for tonight other than not get hammered.

It’s a weak mentality to not even try though. What was our plan today to win the game? We turned up to lose like we always do at Anfield.

He won’t be coming back in. Howe doesn’t drop his favourites once they’re in the 11. Look at Burn at LB last season.

Pope starting, Gordon playing centrally despite never offering anything ever when he plays there and Liverpool’s weakness being their right back’s defensive ability, the instruction of Burn or Schar to step up constantly leaving us with three at the back when we’re countered, Willock starting over Miley and Gordon taking every set piece even though his delivery is shit. That’s just tonight. I love Howe but I just don’t get what the plan was tonight other than to not get beat heavily. Granted Isak’s injury puts us on back foot tonight but I just don’t get the reason for the 4-4-2 which just exposes our slow as fuck spine.

They wouldn’t be stupid enough to take him.

Done absolutely nothing in the three games he’s played since coming back to justify being ahead of Dubravka. If anything, his performances have made Dubravka’s claim stronger.

Fuck me get Pope out this side.

What’s he got right? Everything tonights been wrong from selection to timing of in game subs.

We have a real mentality problem at Etihad and Anfield. Always turn up beat before the games even started.

From the first minute. This has been pathetic today.

Never has yet still Howe persists with it. Wasted a chance to have him having a go at TAA from the start today.
