It's Liverpool v Arsenal, then some other less important games.

I admire both team's studious disregard of defenders and defending, this should finish 4-4.

Jesus christ, we have Everton'd this up right good. Literally two howlers are the only mistakes they've made, but both automatic goals.

Did nothing after half time. Let Arsenal waltz back into the game. Stopped playing after scoring the second. Stopped playing after conceding one. No adjustments whatsoever, no in game management.

poo poo like this is why I question Klopp. He cannot manage a game.

Bullshit. Playing perfectly for the first half, of course you don't change anything. Then Gomez makes one bad mistake, and almost instantaneously Mignolet makes a howler. What's he supposed to do, sub either of them off?

Maybe we scrap a draw out of this but that doesn't excuse this collapse.

And again, it's happened over and over again and there's absolutely zero sign of Klopp knowing how to fix it. If he can't fix the glaring problems why is he given a free pass

But lol EvilHawk meltdown Klopp out

It's his fault for not replacing Mignolet the moment he walked in the door, he's done nothing wrong tactically today.

Klopp and Wenger should stand in the centre circle and do the hokey kokey on full time.

Firmino scored halfway through this but I'm still mad

Today has been exactly the same tactics as it was against Sevilla and as it was against Bournemouth. Go up a couple of goals, concede one, then do absolutely nothing to control the game. We were still trying to nick the ball away and break on the counter. Why couldn't we just sit in and play it safe? Arsenal had their tails up and were coming at us. Keep it calm and control the pace of the game a little and snuff out the excitement.

We can do it occasionally so I know the players are capable. Why can't Klopp get them to do it every time?

Xhaka shot from 30 yards as Arsenal had had no penetration for the entire game. It was their second shot on target. You can't dominate the ball all the time away to decent side.

And as pointed out, I'm blaming him for that.

It’d be nice to see some non-Moneyball signings.

We literally spend £35m on Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. Moneyball isn't the issue. Bizarre pickiness is.

I don't, as he's clearly better than Jordan Henderson.

Mou's pretty much flat out said that Lukaku is undroppable. That's a big problem IMO.

Could be worse, could be Mignolet
