True. Just still amazes me.Again this is quite an easy answer.

Agh.
So close. Did enough to get something. Unlucky with the penalty; he did the hard bit winning the ball albeit scrappily, but got unlucky as Mané nipped in.
Gutting really.
400% behind Poch. He has more than enough credit in the bank to see him through this patch.
Which makes starting NDom in Cl nothing game but not here reek of professional negligenceThe midfield just isn't as good as it used to be. When we were at our best, we had Dembele and a good version of Dier / Wanyama. That gave us control, stability, solidity and one hell of a platform.
Hasn't our decline more or less coincided with Dembele's departure? I know there are other factors - including our zen buddhist manager - but that cannot be overlooked.
Nope. Lo Celso was fit and available at he start of the season after we signed him. Poch decided not to include him as he hadn't had the Poch preseason and hadn't been around the team. He was still injury free until he went away with Argentina who played him because guess what he was fit and available. The subsequent injury was impact caused and nothing to do with fitness.

If he shows he wants it, I'm behind Poch too because over the last week, I've seen the players play for him in two games. He's got to stop the cryptic flimflam though and just do his fudging job.
I do understand he has to rotate to keep players free of injuries. But he should change up second half when your creative player, Eriksen, is playing so poorly. We need Lo Celso back to fitness.All the talk before the game was about keeping the same team who beat Red Star. So what does the manager do?
If anything your mind should be more assured to sack Poch now after that shower of brick?? Surely.I just don't know what to think any more. I was firmly against sacking Poch but now he goes and pulls this brick.
Good first 15 minutes, good last 15. The rest was terrible. Eriksen had a tough job and I've got to blame Poch for putting him in that position, but he was awful on the ball too - 2/10 for me.
And what the hell has happened to Dele Alli?! 3/10 just because he didn't do anything shockingly bad.
Other than that, most of our lot did well. No shame losing 2-1 at Anfield. I thought the CBs did extremely well, as did Gazanigga.
I have to wonder how different it would have been if Lamela had played.
If this game finally forces Poch to ditch Eriksen and Alli and play Ndombele and Lo Celso, it'll have been worth it.

Fair play, I had felt the same but today swung it for me. We were lucky to still be in the game thanks to our keeper and poor finishing but there were 5 of the first x1 that were questionable selections, with superior or more committed players on the bench. He can’t claim the player unrest is affecting the team if he keeps picking them.Agh.

Yep and Ndombele should be largely doing the Dembele role and Sissoko is quite good at being the old versions of Dier/Wanyama, so he should play next to him - I think we will see that at Everton next week.
My only gripe today is that he didnt do the above today and didnt hook some players earlier who werent performing.
I cannot complain about the formation and sitting deep, as normally we go to pool and play how we normally do and lose, so no complaints with Poch trying something different in that regard.
Also starting Toby was vindicated and whilst Rose wasnt amazing, he wasnt as bad as some people are making out and would Davies have done any better - this is pool away not red star at home - I like Davies but he isnt some unreal left back after-all.
Because players cry like little babies if they get subbed early and it takes them 6 months to get over it? But just dropping them completely for inferior or less committed players is totally fine, a lemon told meAgain this is quite an easy answer.
Sad to see how much better Liverpool are now. Dominated us from the 2nd minute onwards..

I’m not sure what message it sends to Moura that Pochettino would rather play Eriksen right mid over him.
I know sorry, not trying to be sarcastic or clever. Just boring myself and probably others of what I think of Poch.True. Just still amazes me.

I think Poch is trying to manage resources by rotating. The problem is Eriksen. But also Winks' form has also dropped through the floor. Ndombele cannot play every game. We have to find a solution.Which makes starting NDom in Cl nothing game but not here reek of professional negligence
From 80 to 95 we dominated.. That's what makes the 79 minutes prior so damn annoying to me.
