Liverpool looked like they had never played against a pressing team before.
What clean sheet, ye shit the bed against Atalanta.Very tame effort after such a good start. In the end a fairly soft penalty was the only goal we scored over two legs which is pitiful enough.
The comeback hinged on that Salah chance first half. A really poor finish. Atalanta’s intense press rushed players into trying to move the ball quickly and with quality but neither happened. Better team over two legs and deserved to go through.
The only positive is the clean sheet. Maybe something to take into the run-in. Maybe.
They’d all summer to buy him and never made a proper offer.
The Saudi gang seem to have learned their lesson, in spite of last summers insanity their gates are down 10%, no one bought during the January window.
Ye are stuck with the camel botherer.
As are we with the fat Brazilian
Klopp supposedly persuaded him to stay.
Ye could have got 2 Darwin Nunezzzz for that coin.
Just think
50+ big chances missed.
Be careful what you wish for with Salah. We won’t see the likes of him again. Just look at Diaz’s inferior numbers to Mane as an example of how pretty much everyone is a step down from the Mane, Firmino and Salah trio. Salah’s numbers are sensational and we are very unlikely to see a winger produce those numbers again.I’d have been ok with Salah leaving earlier last summer if they’d time to sign a replacement.
If the Saudi project is failing they might try to sign the most high profile muslim footballer in the world to give it a shot in the arm.
As a fan the klopp era was brilliantly exciting. Didn’t win enough though and it’s ending in a whimper.
If Klopp had a fault it’s being overly loyal to players past their sell by date.
Edwards back won’t show any such loyalty and they’ll need to nail the next few windows or they’ll be back to absolute mediocrity before they know it
