Was too furious to write about the game right after. This game showed us all our weaknesses, very well played by Klopp to identify and exploit it, I hope the coaching staff and recruitment will notice and address these going into next season. Shouldn't be overreacting cause we all knew it very well before the match ( McFred technical ability, set pieces, Maguire absence ), we saw Ole often exploiting Pep's weaknesses and they didn't have to all of sudden change players/manager/coaching staff. Having said that, I don't mean that we are squad-wise close to City quality, of course, but we don't become a very good or very bad side overnight.
Absolutely chaotic how we deal with set-pieces, not just with an initial cross but also to clear the ball out of the box after. For the second goal, we were organized in a pretty high line to deal with a cross, given our problems with this, and also that made it a lot easier for TAA to pick a target. Annoyed how we stuck with playing out of the back as it clearly didn't work for us given their quality press and our technical deficits. Should carry on with a more direct approach to test their defense, their CB's aren't world beaters and their full-backs are more often high up the pitch. Yes, we will give a ball away playing long, but that's better than losing it in front of ours ( third goal ) and will give us more opportunities to press them at their half and change the focus a little bit. Apparently, in a bad game like this, where not a single our player had a good day in office, we managed to score 2 goals ( with xG 1.7 ) what shows how fragile their defensive unit can be.
Overall, furious more about fact that our rivals came here and want it more than us, despite motivation and league table standings. It hurts.
