Wijnaldum off, Milner on.
Strange sub when 3-0 down, we need goals now, Xhaka should have gone off.
I'd have considered taking Luiz off or moving him to midfield to be honest, he's had one of those calamitous days at the back he's well known for today.
Lacazette should be on as well.
He can't play in defence, it's taken over a season so far for Emery to see that, he's a midfielder at the end of the day, in defence he makes error after error and they usually cost us goals.Quote:

I think today shows that without a decent defence you're not going to get results against the best teams, however good your attack is. To be fair though Liverpool have been a class apart today.
It’ll help when we get our proper full backs fit, but that’s why it was so stupid to expose Monreal and AMN to everything Liverpool could throw at them. Accident waiting to happen.Quote:

That's brought me back down to earth with a bump though.
Why is our midfield play so inconsistent. He has to work on this midfield. We talk bout our defense, but that midfield has been the biggest weakness now for bout 5 seasons
Willock off, Lacazette on.
Willock. :bow:
Yes sure, but that's still a fair while away, they've got to recover and then get match fit, realistically our only form of defence with this team is attack, Laczette should have been on, because we just we never going to be able to keep Liverpool out.Quote:

Yeah right. :lol:Quote:

TORREIRA!!!!
It's on!
Torreira scores.
After 81 minutes, there's hardly any point now, should have come on well before that.Quote:

Agree with this. I would also have liked us to start with Lacazette too. Go down fighting.Quote:

Four added minutes.
AMN's tekkers. :cloud9:
Getting patronised by sky. Great times.
This defeat is 100% Emerys fault IMO, poor starting lineup, not reactive enough with the subs, not realising he needed a RB as AMN is awful in that position.
Given the keeper and our defence, Lacazette should have started as well.
3-1 FT.
Let the pointless hand wringing commence.
Emery does'nt know what he's doing and he's not going to take us up a level
:lol:Quote:

No hand wringing, but we do need a new manager if we want top 4.
I hope that manager can show how it is done at Anfield this season.Quote:
