Teams create chances against us regularly? I think we allow fewer shots against us than most.
You'll lap up whatever comes out of Klopp's mouth, while it's true that stats suggest you allow fewer shots than anyone else but you're also prone to more errors in defence. You only need to watch your defending and the teams around you like Chelsea, Spurs and us to see the difference. It's a legitimate criticism.

Deliberate handball for Lallana, should have been booked for that.

From a tweet: "Fernandinho will get four match ban (2nd red in PL). Will miss Cup game v West Ham plus PL matches v Everton, Spurs & West Ham"
They'll miss him in those league games :smirk:

That City game is becoming interesting, Yaya, the other defensive / central midfield, is on a yellow too, while Fernandinho is already out with a red.

How are Liverpool and City that high up the table with that kind of defending?
Cause despite SkySports trying to brainwash people into thinking it's the best league in the world, the quality in the Premier League is now terrible

I literally just posted that individual errors is an issue we have. It's not like it happens in every game but it's clearly a problem.

Brilliant. City barely have a midfield.

He never needs to work again.
Sad but true lol, literally just walks around the field unless he gets the ball to his feet(no movement either) - He won't ever be a starter for us playing like that

Sorry to say, but City look as bad as an attacking unit as ever under the oil money. As bad as they've been in the last few years, they always look like they can score.

Henderson's absence is already painfully obvious. Afwul first half, our passing is way off and the midfield doesn't give the defense enough opportunities to play out from the back.

i refuse to get my hopes up that either Burnley or Sunderland..sorry, can keep this up for one more half. City and Pool are going to win.

Well done Hull so far. If one of those three are going to survive let it be Hull.

I'd worry about Liverpools legs in this second half.
They had a tough game v City for 90 mins while Sunderland got tanked and took the second half off running around at half speed
